President. that it is necessary for the complete occupation of one of these islands which have been annexed. particularly the insular portion of the country. that we should have established in them separate judicial tribunals. and one of the leading purposes of having a tribunal there is to correct and to control the population of those islands by the direct authority of the laws of the United States administered by United States officers. I do not know how I would feel if I were to appear before the district court or the supreme court as it is organized in this act now of Hawaii. with a cause in which the United States was a party. whether it was civil or whether it was criminal. or a cause that involved the laws of the United States. I will take the immigration laws. the laborcontract law. the quarantine laws. and various others that I might cite. I do not know how Iwould feel when I should have tried a cause upon th6 local docket before that bench if I should then ask him if he would not turn over and try a cause on the United States docket. I should feel. in many cases. that I had a court that was trying to serve two masters.
