believe that the rights of the Filipinos
and the rights of the Cubans are ident-

the Cub&ns by resolution did not
create those rights. They existed be-
fore. II the FilipinoS have n right to
their independence the fact that they
fought for it Goes not Justify us in

no more humiliating for Il nation to

treated the Filipinos as we have
treated the Cubans. 1t we are going

ence we ought TO say so at once and

The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1900-04-23

Two unfortunate japanese who lost
their all in the Chinatown fire, complet-
ed their respective terms of fifteen
days each in Jail, because they had
committed the crime of having no
money to pay their taxes. Both of
them were turned out penniless, with a
shirt, trousers and an old straw hat, to
begin the world with. Had 1t not been
that the police authorities Clipped in to
get the poor fellows over Sunday, they
might have starved during that day of
rest, and meditated upon the benefcent
way in which the Hawaiian tax office
is run. The publicani of Judea and
other Roman provinces, seem to be the
models taken. Much wrong may be
done in perfectly legal way, if the
wielder of the power only studies how
to make it bear hardly.
