expect. in one of the newly opened up ter

Have you had much increase in YOUR
population since the annexation act pass
ed?' L asked
Yes, some, but not great DEAL was
the reply. You see, it is only few
months since our annexation was consum-
mated We are still unsettled as to lust
what our government is to be, although we
hope it will be as a new territory of the
United States. When all is settled T look
for considerable Immigration, though not
of the character which usually rushes into

Chinese and Japanese.
rs there much room for the poor immi-
81 liant here, Mr.. PRESIDENT" L asked
Not a great DEAL" was the reply, al
though there are some places for the proper
men. None should come without some
capital. but with a few thousand dollars
there are opportunities for the right men
to do well in coffee raising, cooperative
sugar planting and small farming. There
are some few government lands left. and
the tendency will be, hope, to divide up
the large plantations so that the crops
may be raised by many small farmers"
How about the Chinese? 1 understand
they monopoliZe the labor market and the
small FARMS said I.
They do so to some extent in connec-
ton with the japanese and the Portuguese.
We have in round numbers about p 900
Chinese, 24OOO japanese and 1900 Portu-
guese on the islands. They are chiefly en-
ployed as workmen upon the sugar plan
tations: some Of them raise rice and do
small farming. Since the annexation no
Chinese have been imported and as far
as the government is concerned no Japan
csc. There are some kinds of labor which
the Asiatics are said to perform better
than the whites, and 1 suppose they will
be employed for such labor in preference
to the whites as long as they do so.'
May BE a State Some Day.
''Will the Hawaiian Islands ever become
state in the sisterhood of the United
States. Mr.. PRESIDENT" 1 asked
Il hope so,' replied President Dole. But
l do not think that time will come for
many years yet. The islands will, 1 think,
gradually grow in population and wealth.
Their people already have a high state of
civilization. and see no reason why, when
we have the requisite number of people,
that We may not expect the great honor of
statehood"
Are the royalists reconciled to the pres
ent situation. Mr.. PRESIDENT asked.
Il think they are becoming So" was the
reply. II believe they will eventually re-
gard the annexation as the best thing that
will be nowhere in our common country a
more universally patriotic community than
that of the Hawaiian Islands"

SPORTS OF THE DAY
Half of the Local Bowling Season
Completed.
CLUBS ARE UNUSUALLY WE'LL MATCHED
Preparing for the Georgetown
Athletic Meeting.
COM ITTEES ANNOUNCED

The District Bowling League series was
half over when the Saengerbund and Co.
lumbia Bowling Club teams finished their
match last Monday night 1t has been an
unusually interesting season. and the at
tention of local bowlers has had many
things to keep it riveted to the game. For
the Iirst six weeks 1t seemed assured that
new champions had risen-that the Young
Mems Christian Association five would
have practically no trouble in capturing the
flag. But the second quarter has seen a
strange reversal in the form of the Chris
tian Association bowlers, and they have
slid downward in an uninterrupted way.
They finish the seasons half with a per
centage of $40, tied with the veteran Car
rolls for second place. This is entirely
creditabe. and the managers of the asso-
citation team should be satisfied with their
work. In spite of the fact that the Saen-
gerbund team is more than half made up of
different material from that of former
I years. the five has played steadily and has
by sheer strength fought its way into the
leading position. Whether or not they can
stand The combined onslaught of the other
teams remains to be seen.
Evenly Matched Teams.
The clubs are more evenly matched this
year than at any previous. time in the
leagues history, and succession of ties
has marked the table showing the standing
| of the teams ever since the season opened.
| 1t may be safely stated that the champion
| ship does not safely rest on. any club at
present. and either the CarrOlls the Eagles

overtake the Saengers. The Business Men
and the Columbias are unquestionably the
wtaklings. and between them the battle for
