PRESS POINTERS ON HAWAII.

Hawaii can rest assured of one

Uncle Sans wing. = Philadelphia
Press.
It ought to be well understood, how
ever, that Hawaii cannot be legally
annexed while Grover Cleveland is
President.-Louisville Courier.
TIE annexation of Hawaii is being
agitated. 1t will not succeed. Mr..
Cleveland is in the way. He would
never consent to measure that would
be virtual acknowledgment that he
once went wrong.-Aurora Beacon.
A joint resolution favoring the an
nexation of Hawaii ought to pass the
House and the Senate at the present
session. 1t ought not to be complI-
Gated and endangered by premature
and unnecessary consideration of de
tails.-New York Sun.
The time cannot be far distant when
we must somehow accept the rich gift
offered US, or make up our minds to
see it pass into the possession of some
other power, probably Great Britain.
1t can do no harm to begin to consider
the problem in good seasOD.-BostOn
Traveller.
Uncle Sam has his hands pretty full
of international affairs just now, but
he can doubt find time to take up
the question of Hawaiian annexation
while resting from the considera ton
of more arduous subjects. After all,
possession of the Sandwich islands
might not he bal thing TO have in
certain contingencies.
1t seems reasonable to predict the
final annexation of the islands, but
! there need be no haste in the matter.
Before accepting Hawaii as a part of
| this nation it will be- necessary to III
sist upon certain changes in her make
up, and wisdom will suggest some
course which will lead 10 the removal
of very undesirable class of people.
! On one point all are agreed, and that
is that the United States cannot afford
to permit any other pation to gain

The statement that Amelia B.
Frost of Littleton, Mass, is the first
woman to be ordained pastor of a
New England church has called
forth an interesting correction from
Mary A. Livermore to prove that
women have appeared in the pulpit
of New England for some thirty
years passed. Mrs. Livermore
gives the following record: "The
first woman minister was Rev.
Olympia Brown Willis, who gradu-
ated from Antioch College, Ohio,
in 1860, under the presidency of
Hon. Horace Mann, and from the
Theological School at Canton, n.
Y, three years later, when she was
regularly ordained by the Univer-
salist Church. She was formally
installed as pastor of the Univer-
salist Church in Weymouth, Mass,
a suburb OF Boston, july 8, 1864,
thirty years in advance of Amelia
Frost. She remained in her pas
torate ten years and then removed
to Bridgeport, Conn, in 1869. Her
husband was successful man of
business, but was a member of her
church and her most interested,
active, and devoted parishioner.
Her two children, son and
have recently graduated
from Chicago University. AS wife,
mother, housekeeper, minister, and
pastor Mrs. Willis has been very

rible example of the Orient to look
forward to. We single out the
japanese because we consider the
japanese responsible, and we still
lack proof to the contrary. When
the Government takes the matter
in hand, as it must sooner or later,
there will be no danger of the
japanese being brought to terms

WHY THE JAPANESE2

Since this paper began the work
of making public the condition OF
affairs that exist in the lowest
strata of Honolulu society, the
question has been asked, Why do
you attack the japanese alone?"
This query is implied when the
Japanese Consul states that he
would object to any discrimina-
ton against the people of his coun-
try. IT is a question easily an
swered by reference to the Stats
tics: of the Board of Health and the
more disgusting evidence of the in
creasing number of Japanese dives
that are being established here,
there and everywhere about the
city. We do not pretend to assert
that prostitutes have been previous
ly unknown in this city and we are
ready to admit that modern civiliz-
alton has not reached the stage
when this social evil can be wiped
out of existence.
But statistics show and a tour
of investigation about the city
give still greater proof that the evil
has increased at an alarming
rate since the advent of the Jap
anese. The immigrants from the
Orient have brought their. vices
with them, and as the strict laws
passed by the japanese Govern
ment from time to time will show,
this vice is one of the most serious
with which that country has had
to contend. It is an evil which is
so thoroughly inbred among the
lower class japanese that they ap-
pear to have no idea that they are
committing sin. AS far back as
1922 the officials of Toxic found
the evil increasing at such a rate
and making such inroads on the
sanitary conditions, that laws were
promulgated, and, in measure,
the evil was checked.
The author of pamphlet,
s'How the Social EviP is Regu-
lated in Japan" says of the condi-
tons at that period, ''These women
in their dirty, greasy cotton gar
ments, haunted the public streets,
and might be seen by the sickly
light of the waning moon, fitting
about like the spirits of the damn
ed, hunting for victims" These
same words are applicable to GER
tain sections of Honolulu today.
Japan did not come to its senses
until the evil had become thor
oughly inculcated in the social
life of the nation as it is IN
no other country that comes within
the category of the "most favored
nations" Again our author says ::
"The efforts of the Japanese Gov
eminent to abolish the evils of this
servitude have been vigorous, but
custom that law of fools-has
been too powerful, and the regula-
tions are infringed indirectly in
many ways, chiefly, however, owing
to the frantic opposition to reform
raised by the numerous parasitic
hangers-on who attach themselves
to these sections, and while leading
a lazy and miscellaneous life, manage
to suck sustenance from the earn
ings of defenseless women"
This is the condition in Japan,
and those who doubt that the same
condition exists on small scale in
Honolulu have only to look about
them a little. The ADVERTISER has
not told all the story, and we trust
it will not be obliged to do so in
order to wake the people to action.
We say the evil exists on a small
scale when we compare our condi-
tons with those of Japan. If taken
in hand today it can be kept within
bounds, otherwise we have the hor-

We quite agree with our Maui
correspondent that it would be a
good idea for the Government to
accept the offer of Kula residents
and take possession of the new
landing at Kula. 1t would be far
better if the Government controlled
all the principal landings about
the islands and could set apart
liberal sum each year for improve
ments.
