NO YELLOW PERIL.

A leading article of the London
Times on the Yellow Peril makes some
strong points against the theory, tao
tically promulgated by Russia, that the
success of Japan in the present war
would expose civilization, later on, 10
the attack of a confederated Asia. The
outcry of the Yellow Peril, says the
Times comes from the same quarter
that warned the peoples of Europe
against the American Peril. 1t Is
sham, transparent sham,' says the
Times, "and most people who consider
it coolly will doubtless arrive at the
same conclusion"
Why, as the Times enquiries, should
Japan build up in China, a power to
dispute her primacy in Eastern Asia?
Doubtless the japanese, If they attain
their objects in the war, will do all
they can to strengthen their influence
In China and they will almost GER
tainly try to make China strong enough
to be able to offer some resistance to
open or covert attacks upon her own
integrity and independence. But the
most elementary considerations of self
interest must dissuade them from any
desire to see China armed on the same
scale as themselves. 1t would be poor
policy on their part-and their policy
has not shown itself inferior to their
strategy-to get rid of one formidable
neighbor at the cost of a terrible war
in order wantonly to raise up another
The Times points out further that
Japan's policy must not be measured
by Asiatic standards of conduct in the
hour of victory. Japan is the only
Asiatic power that has reformed her
self from within; the only one that has
hardened to the voice of civilization
and sought to obey. Surely she has
earned something better than isolation
from her mentors. In all her enter
prises, particularly in her negotiations
with Russia before the war she has
shown a high sense of moral RESPONSE
bility. Japan is a new recruit for 1.-The
ssterhood of civilized peoples" and I'M
less she is thrust out as n barbarian
she will not act like one. If the yell
low Peril ever comes from her it Will
be because the world has made her an
Ishmaellte.

Judge Gear
In the first suit at Eailua. on June
2ist, Henry T.. Highion served notice
Of motion to dismiss the case. on the
ground that the term Of Judge Edings
expired June 5th, and that there was
no Judge. therefore, of the Third Cir
cult Court, before whom the suit could
be brought or who had authority to
act in advance of the qualification of
Judge Matthewman, June 18th. The
same point had been made before
Judge Gear. Mr.. Highton also served
and filed an elaborate demurrer to the
complaint and motion to vacate the
ex parte injunction and the ex parte
order appointing a receiver, which had
been confirmed by Judge Matthewman,
June 18th. The motion Is based on full
afidavits by Colonel Samuel Parker
and Mr.. Wundenberg. These matters
came before Judge Matthewman on
June 23rd at Kailua, when Mr.. Wilder
of Robertson & Wilder, on several affi-
davits. applied for a continuance, which
was opposed by Mr.. Highton and. as
to the motion to dismiss and the de-
murrer, refused, but granted until Sat
urday, July End. on the motion to dis
solve the injunction and to remove the
receiver, afffdavits on Mr.. Carriers be-
half to be served by June 29th. The
motion to dismiss and the demurrer
were argued by Mr.. Highton and Mr.
Wilder and submitted on briefs to be
filed within fifteen days. on Saturday
next at Kailua, the remaining impbr-
tant motion is to be argued petit
ton by the receiver for the appuint-
ment of Mr.. Maydwel as his advisory
counsel was presented last Monday
morning, but Judge Matthewma post
poned 1t, until after the hearing of the
motion set for Saturday. An applica-
ton by the receiver for the enlarge
ment of the order appointing him, so
as to permit him to collect money due
to the Parker Ranch in Honolulu has
also been held over till that motion is
heard.
This is the present aspect of the COM
plicated and far-reaching litigation in
relation TO the Parker Ranch
The Hawaiian gazette., 1904-07-01

1t is reported on good authority, that
the Cooperative Home Purchasing So
clety is taking in from two to three
thousand dollars a month from the peo-
pie of these Islands, mainly natives and
Portuguese. The Society, so far as we
are able to learn, Is managed by a man
named Strauch, who is now being sued
by =. II. Brunette to collect q debt;
and IL consists OF his wife. a sister OF
George Markham; T.. T. Rodgers,
identity not known, and G. II. Sedge-
beer, who is supposed to be an en-
ploye of the Fire Department.
The method by which the money is
obtained is made clear in a circular. y
man who wants to get home is in
vited to subscribe for as many 500
loans as he desires, paying $40 per
NOR .. on each chance to qualify him
self for the loans up to the time when
the money may be available. His turn
comes in the order of his subscription
and If he is the lj0th man he must wait
until all ahead Of him are served when
he has a chance to BORROW BACK
HIS OWN MONEY and some more,
build the house and pay for 1t again
out of his further subscriptions. In a
case cited in the circular man got his
$1,000 home paid for in 100 months or be-
tween eight and nine years.
This method of doing business may
produce the result indicated providing
the custodians of the money are secure
ly bonded in a responsible concern, are
personally responsible and are under
the strict surveillance of a local cor
poration law-not the law of New Jer-
sey or North Dakota, but of Hawaii.
Unless such conditions are observed
there is no certainty that the subscrib-
ers will ever get their money back.
The thing for anyone to do who is
asked to go into the Cooperative Home
Purchasing Society is to satisfy him
self on these points:
l. Is the Society backed by a solid
financial institution with a Dun or
Bradstreet rating?
II. Are its local managers people of
property and financial responsibility,
and are they under bonds that can be
enforced?
III. Does the Society deposit it's
funds in any bank?
~. If not, why not?
V. What guarantee is there that
those who hold the money will do what
they have agreed to do?
VI. Are the contracts for loans sign
ed by anyone whom 1t would be worth
while to sue?
VII. Is the business of the Society
subject to the oversight of the Terri
torial Auditor, or any other responsible
official?
These are the usual test questions of
responsibility which men who ask the
privilege of keeping other peoples
money for them, expect to meet. Have
they been put to the Cooperative Home
Purchasing Society? And is it enough
for the Society to say that its books
are open?" The question brought up
is not one of bookkeeping but of
FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY.

AT PORT ARTHUR.

The statement that the japanese are
yond the range of the Russian guns
which are not of highest power-may
mean that NodZu intends to lombard
from safe ground, somewhat as Cen.
Gilmore did in front of Charleston dur
ing the American Civil War. Another
object may be to make the besieging
line secure against a sortIe. If a siege
begins in due form. several forts may
be built and intrenched positions grad
ually attained nearer and nearer the
enemys lines. one may confidently
look for the use by the japanese of
siege guns of extraordinary power. In
this Nodzu's men will have a marked
advantage, the Russian guns, except
ing those taken from the ships, being
the Chinese outfit captured by the al
lies at Tientsin during the Boxer trou-
bes and shipped by AleXieff to Port
Arthur-a prize, as things turn out of
moderate value.
We notice in the Japanese newspa-
pers a growth of doubt about the ability
of the little brown men to carry Port
Arthur by storm. The belief that the
place will have to be reduced by siege
is prevalent. This view accords with
that of those who have been on the
ground and who realize how much ma
ture has done to assist science in max
ing the place impregnable. Port Ar
thur is the Gibraltar of the East. Civ
en- large and brave garrison, we'll
fed and healthy, and it ought to be able

would rapidly increase and improve
the average quality of our population.
Every approach to policy OF exclu-
sion through mohopolistic combination
should be discarded and a policy
analogized at least to the national
Homestead Law, should be adopted.
that would mean the extension of the
right hand of fellowship to the best
class of permanent residents.
Free and steady communication with
markets. through the port Of Honolu-
lu, is another incentive to advancement
that would follow a wise and liberal
policy of invitation instead of repul-
sion. a cable should be, as 1t could
be. laid between oahu and Hawaii, tax
ing in Molokai and Maui on the way.
1t may be said that, while 1t Is an
axiom, that demand regulates supply,
it is equally true that, within the les
ser divisions of the soil supply often
stimulates demand. The districts of
North and South Kona could readily
support an enlarged American COM
munity of four or five thousand and
the markets of the world are ready TO
buy what they could furnish. 1t may
be almost said that. over there, 1t Is
only necessary to tickle the earth with
hoe, and she laughs with harvest"

est island has been illustratively men
toned. There are other parts of Ha-
wall of Maui, of Kauai and even of
oahu. that are in a similar category.
There are great interests, such as the

alton of annexation thus be made COM

THE PARKER RANCH LITIGATION

This litigation is very important and
is attracting much attention, both in
Honolulu and on the Island of Hawaii.
The ranch consists of about 100000
acres. The main business is that of
raising and selling cattle and other
stock. 1t was started by John p. Par
ker, the grandfather of Colonel Samuel
Parker, prior to 1864, and has since
been greatly enlarged. In his Will,
made in 1864, John +. Parker divided
his property chiefly between his son,
John =. Parker Junior, and his grand
son, Colonel Parker, and desired that
it be continued. The second John p.
Parker and Colonel Parker, who was
his nephew, We're in partnership, and
Colonel Parker is the surviving part
ner. John T. Parker the second, by
his will, in addition to, other devises
and requests, divided his land and
stock between Colonel Parker and
John p. Parker, his son, designated as
John Z. Parker the third of whom he
appointed Colonel Parker the guardian,
and requested that the business be con-
tinued so long as it was profitable. 1t
has been continued and developed and
will last mentioned it was provided
that, If John L. Parker the third died
under the age of twenty, his lawful
issue should take his share He died
before he reached that age, and his
daughter, Annie T. Is. Parker inher-
tied that share. About four years ago
a. w. Carter was appointed guardian
of her property, and since then has
managed the ranch and business, div
iding the profits between his ward and
Colonel Parker, with whom and with
whose attorney in fact and trustee
Fred. WundenberG, he has been ac-
customed to consult.
Recently Colonel Parker and Mr.
Wundenberg determined to change the
manager and appointed Eben Z. Low
