Among the mainland echoes of that
Flag decision ore is not unl-kely to hear
the decorous ha-ha of the Supreme
Court.
, .,
Between hurrahing for Wilcox and
asking privately whether he was going
to sell out, the Independent delegates
vase their vocal chords a severe strain
yesterday. Ns-
'
''Let me tell you what Wilcox did,'
said an enthusiastic native orator yes
terday. And then he talked for half an
hour wMMsftt telling how Wilcox tried
to ,do,,wl Qaevn out of her rron

THE WILCOX PARTV THREAT.
The Independent party pledge which,
presumably, all the native nominees for
the Lexislature have taken, contains
this clause:

The meaning of the IndftDend. nt

aimnP i - i I '
summary Interference by Congress ln
behalf of the Territory to ordain future
Island rule by the responsible classes.
That a Wlleo Senate could not hold
up the Territorial Government If It
tried to Is proved by the organic act. A
part of Section N reads as follows:
All persons holding office In the Ha
waiian Islands at the time this act
lakes effect shall continue to hold their
respective offices until their successors
are appointed and qualified, but not be
yond the end of the first session of the
Snats of the Territory of Hawaii un
ions reappointed as herein provided."
Another sect, n gives the Governor the
right of appointment when th- Senate
Is not in session. Thus If no successors
are appointed and qualified the Ha
waiian Executive may. after the re
journment of the Legislature, reappoint
the old Incumbents.
Supposing the Legislature should
withhold appropriations for salaries the
game would still be In the Governor's
hands. Witness Sec. M of the Organic
law which reads as follows: "That
In case of failure of the Legisla
ture to pass appropriation bills pro
viding for payments of the r.e.essary
current expenses of currying on the

ligations as the same are proyided for

' What would happen If the Senate '

ments? Why the Governor -would sim
ply tell the officials to stay where they
WWTt and after the Stnate had ad
journed he would cause their salaries
to be paid as usual until the Legisla
ture had met again. If, anticipating
such a course the Legislature should
refuse tar make salary appropriations
equal to the necessity of "carrying on
the government." the Hawaiian execu
tive would probably go ahead ffe be
fore, paying salaries on basis of sums
previously appropriated. The law as it
stands does not empower the Legisla

up the resources

CONSTITUTION AND FLAG.
j Does the Constitution neceiartly fol
low the flag into annexed territory?
There is a long line of decisions for
and against, mainly political in their
character:' political because, in th? old
slavery and Civil War days, the Demo-

law ame held stoutly to the
affirmative; Republican judges as a
rule have taken th negative view and

colonial startus for annexed lands. Thus
nmenameni says. neuner slavery
no involuntary servitude, except as
punishment for crime, whereof the par
ty shall have been duly convicted, shall
! exist within the United States, or any
place subject to their jurisdiction."
There can, then, be a United States and
a jurisdictional district, not nesessarily
subject to the full authority of the or-
ganic law, existing under the flag a
place where the fact of American sov
ereignty is recognized but where the
people cannot claim citizenship until
Congress shall have specially be
stowed it.
