The rumor is current in town that
the frequent visits OF Mr.. Doyle, the
Japanese interpreter, to Hawaii, are
made necessary by the Wholesale
desertion of Japanese contract
laborers from sugar estates, for the
purpose Of seeking employment on
the coffee lands in Kona, Hawaii.
The sugar planters seek the enforce
ment Of the penal labor law end our
"best government" tells them that
to enforce the disgraceful provisions
of that law, just at this time, will
have . bad effect in Washington
when the Treaty OF Annexation
comes up for discussion. This re-
minds us OF the story Of the young
ster who had very promising bull
pup, who asked his simple minded
old father to get down on all fours
and make a start for the pup, upon
which the latter fastened his teeth
into the old mans outlook, when
the youngster danced about in de.
light, calling to his suffering parent
to grin and bear it, for it would be
the making OF the pup. See the point.
