by saying:-''It needs no words to
paint d mental picture of what will
become OF these Islands when once
the Japanese become the employers of
labor and moneyed power. The PLAN
ters would naturally dispose of their
possessions and leave the field to the
undisputed influence of the subjects
of the Mikado, who would be monarchs
of all they surveyed, and instead of the
heritage of the Islands going to the
American people they would go to the
Japanese, forming greater Japan.
Probably these opinions are one-sided,
and the fears expressed unfounded,
but we would like to be assured that
all the aspects of the Hawaiian prob
lem have been considered by the Brit
ish Government

Probably Sake.

It seems that certain Japanese la
borers at Kaena Point have been tack
led by spooks, or think they have.
Not long ago five of them had big
dinner and then laid themselves down
to rest Toward morning they felt a
choking sensation, and awakened, de-
claring that someone had choked
them. On the next night two more felt
the same thing. Before proceeding, it
must be stated that before retiring
the men had seen quite a number OF
cups of sake. The men left the place
but the others remained and no fur
ther trouble has been experienced
Whether the men had a joke played
upon them by one Of their number or
the sake was too much, cannot be
learned positively.

Senator Chandler believes the Lodge
bill restricting immigration will be
passed with that part of it which places
restrictions on men living along the Cana
dian and Mexican borders who work daily
in the United States, but live In their
native country, omitted. This part of
the bill ought to be omitted. Its only re-
suit can be to produce great friction
among people living on opposite sides of
border line without doing any COM
pensating good to any one. Such re-
strictions would produce retaliatory re-.
strictions from the Dominion, and anoth-
merous causes of Ill feeling between the
two countries.
