HOW PLANTERS BR NC RUIN
TO THEIR OWN INDUSTRY

make stand the better, for it is GER
tainNif it is not done these fellows will
never rest until they get $40 per month,
nor will they then.
Now that the grinding season is
about over it is. good time to put
these Japs where they rightfully be-
long, or next season will see them de-
handing the earth.
We hear of another thing which is
having a bad effect on the labor mar
ket. 1t is said some of the planters
refuse to subscribe to the fund to aid
in bringing laborers to the country and
are in the habit of taking the men
from other planters who do, by offer
ing them higher wages. We don't
know if such is the case or not, but if
so highway robbery would be a gentle
manly occupation in comparison.
We also hear that there is talk of
starting a number of other planta-
tions, which under the circumstances,
when there are not half enough men
for the present number, seems to us
to be little short of madness. Again,
all the new industries and enterprises
drain men from the plantations.
The growth of Honolulu and Hilo is
also a menace, as they are constantly
drawing men from the fields and mill.
All these and many other ways are
affecting the labor market and making
labor scarce We also think something
should be done to make Uncle Sam re-
alize that tropical climates must
have different laws to those in tenn
perate chimes. And he should also be
made to see that while the exclusion of
Chinese may benefit California 1t
, means ruin for Hawaii. And he will
probably soon see from the disgraceful
proceedings of the present Legislature
that some changes will be needed In
that direction if he does not wish to
see his new possession brought into
contempt and become the laughing
stock of the world.
l remain, yours truly,
GEO OSBORNE.

standard and the admission of less and
less fit people to participation in our gov
eminent.
Tribes which may chance" to come
under our sovereignty, is good. But
tribes which come by force or fraud
deliberately at our hands would be better
and more truthful. Anyhow, hold them
but at arms length, and kick them

Thus from an imperialistic standpoint
the situation already becomes trouble

colonies, where strong American eie-

for Cuba already preached both here and
on the island, and even among the ma
tionals, now that their hopes have been
dashed by the Plat reputation of the

bune going to do about it? How will it
stop the agitation for statehood or the
possibility of hasty admissions to state
hood here and there, when American par
.ty exigencies in Congress or presi-
Dental contest press for heroic methods
to strengthen the party position?
This determination to obtain statehood
equality in the government, which now
finds vigorous voice in Hawaii, will most
certainly not be confined there. 1t Will
be observable in all the dependencies as
long as they are held as they are and 1t
will be foStered and not abated by the
American or white element in so far as 1T
NAV be found on the islands. And the
trouble will be increased, not 1essened,
by any ironclad determination on our
part not to let them in, the better to OBJ

the Tribune indicates, are beginning

A WONDERFUL CLOCK.

An old man, weak and very near to the
grave. has just completed a piece of
work the accomplishment of which has
been his dream, waking and sleeping, for
the past twenty years. He Is Frank
Bohacek Bohemian matchmaker, who
lives in broken-down building in the
midst of little settlement of his coun-
trymen..
Bohacek has produced a wonderful
clock, and his neighbors, who for many
years have looked on him as a visionary,
pottering away on old cog wheels and
springs, have seen his handiwork and
now consider him a wizard. The old
man was one of Chicago's first and best
jewellers. and he prospered SO well that
early in the sos he was able to retire on
& small competency. Then he evolved
the idea of his marvellous clock, and he
worked on it early and late till it be-
came almost a part of his life.
It is a giant among clocks, standing
eighteen feet high and measuring fifteen
feet around the base. On it's front face
It has four dials-one the ordinary
twelve-hour plate, one of twenty-four
hours. another with three hands showing
the day of the year, the month and the
week, and the fourth presenting a Won
derfu1ly accurate movement of the earth
and other planets about the sun, which
is represented by a red electric globe
The moon is also shown in its correct
evolutions, and the sphere representing
the earth swings on it's own axis every
twenty-four hours passing through the
solstices and equinoxes with astrono-
mica1 accuracy.
Thirty automaton figures, representing
American Presidents from Washington
to Mckinley, and Uncle Sam, Columbus,
Dewey, Franklin, an Indian and America,
pass an opening at the top of the clock
with intervals of two minutes between
each.
Bohacek is still working on the clock,
and plans to add Photographic ar
rangement and chimes of bells. He does
not Intend to exhibit it publicly Or sell
! it, but says he will be well content to
spend the balance of his life attending
the mechanism he has created.-Chicago

Editor ADV ertiser: l thank you for
publishing my letter on the labor ques-
ton, and hope you will find space for a
few more remarks upon the same sub
ject. For l think you realize, as well
as I do. the Importance of this ques-
ton. In the first place, an effort was
made last year by the planters to
agree to pay the Japanese fixed
rate of wages; but one or two of the
planters on Oahu stood out against it,
and the consequence is they have
caused a great deal of the present trou-
BILE and at the same time are no better
off for laborers than the rest of the
planters. while being the cause of the
present high rate of wages. 1t is
therefore to be hoped that they will on
this occasion, see the need of falling in
line, with the other managers and
planters, or they will bring disaster
not only upon others but upon them
selves as we'll
For it is certain if the old tactics of
bidding one against another are resort
ed to, nothing but failure can be looked
for.
This continual raise of wages, first by
one planter, then by another, is not on
ly demoralizing the Japanese, by keep
ing them in an unsettled condition, run
ming from place to place, but is the
main cause of the present trouble, and
it will have to be stopped before any
good. results can be expected.
Do not the planters know that in
creasing the wages of the insolent jap
anese cannot increase their number
but rather has tendency to reduce
them? For, as l said before, the high
er wages they get the sooner they will
be gone.
But aside from this it gives the Japs
an idea that they are bosses of the sit
uation. and in consequence they think
they can get any wages they like tc
demand, and do as little work as they
please. No, this state of things will not
work, and the sooner the planters

PROFESSIONS NOT ovERcRowDED.

There is dearth of thoroughly train
ed men in all professions. The more
exacting the conditions, the greater the
need The thoroughly trained man, now
adays, must be a college man. The
universities are using every effort to
train men along special lines for definite
efficiency in something. The old idea of
college education as general culture only
is passing away. The university takes
men as they are, and makes the most
out of what they can do. A man today
in America is foolish to be self made"
when better means are at hand. It is
equally foolish to choose a self-taught
man, as against other men who have
worked with equal zest and force, and
With much better advantages.
Formerly, man of an executive turn,
a leader in business or politics, found, in
a college education, little that could
help him. Now he finds everything. In
the future the college men will be the
natural leaders In industrial and political
affairs. The reason is that the men born
to lead cannot afford TO stay out of col
