their sterling qualities and became ar
important factor in the development
and prosperity of Hawaii Some be-
! came lawyers, some members of the
Legislature, others journalists, one a
priest, and one a Justice of the Terri
torial Supreme Court. Splendid ma
! terial for American citizenship they
were, these sober, intelligent and thrifty
Portuguese.
| Unfortunately, however, their old
rivals of the plantations followed them
to the cities and life became too siren
uous. On all sides it is admitted that
| they are leaving the islands, and it is
certainly a notorious fact, susceptible
of proof, that the Portuguese are de-
parting in large numbers by every
steamer bound for Mexico, Canada and
the United States, where they hope to
find civilization yet free from Asiatic
views and still paying living wages to
white men willing to do a white mans
work
Since annexation a large number of
Americans have gone to Hawaii, look
ing for opportunities to better them
selves and at the same time add their
contribution to the development of the
Territory along traditional American
lines" Where are these Americans
today? Not in Hawaii-that's certain.
Like the Hawaiians and the Portu-
gu Sc, they have been compelled to re-
tire before the onslaught of the Japa-
nese, and have left the latter in full
possession of one of the fairest lands
under the canopy of heaven.
Dry goods stores, carpenter shops,
barber shops, restaurants are in the
hands of the Japanese. They came to
Hawaii nominally to work on the sugar
plantations, but their restlessness and
unbounded ambition propel them within
a short time toward Hilo, Honolulu or
San Francisco. They are the hack driV-
ers, bricklayers, masons, carpenters,
plumbers, electricians, restaurateurs,
etc, of the two former cities. They
build the houses that should be built
by American workingmen, they per-
form the domestic labor which should
be performed by American servants.
they man the island vessels which
should be manned by American sea-
men, and, finally, they are building a
civilization in an American territory
which, if something is not done to
check it, will supersede and ultimately
take the place of the existing American
civilization.
Ten years hence the Japanese will be
in full control of the political desti-
MES of the Territory of Hawaii. How
so? Through the voting privileges
guaranteed by the Constitution to all
citizens The number of
Japanese born in Hawaii is consider

Under date of Novem Der ?, 1904, the
Merchants Association of Honolulu, in
the course of a bitter arraignment of
the Indifference of the planters to the
cause of white immigration, said:
There have been introduced here
twice as many Asiatic Iaborers as
have been necessary for the working Of
the plantations" They also asserted
that this has resulted in competition
disastrous to all but immediate sugar
interests and that, consequently, the
surplus labor, which numbers in the
neighborhood of $4,000 is engaged in

organic act took effect citizens of the
United States. And of course all those
born since annexation are in full en-
joyment of all the rights and privi-

In 1897 there were 24,407 japanese in
the Hawaiian Islands In three years,
that is, by 1900, they had increased to
61,115, while the Chinese numbered 25,-
T62 and the Hawaiians of all shades
and colors 54,141.
Today there are, in round numbers,
in the Territory of Hawaii 10000 Japa-
nese, $4,000 Chinese and 10000 Hawai-
ians. To uphold American civilization
and ideals in the presence of these 100,-
900 Asiatics there are 12.740 white peo-
pie, including English, German, French
and all other Europeans.

professional, mechanical and mercan-
tile pursuits
The questions involved are thus seen
to embrace the broad one "as to who
shall populate and control these islands
in the future
1t may be safely assumed that the
planters, who. after all, are Americans,
should like, as much as any one else,
to see the white race supreme in Ha-
wall But at the same time they can
not lose sight of the fact that they
must have Asiatic labor successfully to
operate the plantations. Naturally,
under existing laws, they can not COM
pei their laborers to remain on the
plantations one moment longer than
they wish.
Right here lies the solution of the
problem, how to keep the Asiatic popu-
lation,.. especially the Japanese, upon
the plantations and discourage them
from invading the towns and cities of
the Territory in search of professional,
mercantile and mechanical opportuni-
ties to the detriment of American citi-
zens and American civilization.

This may seem fanciful, but the
equivalent was printed in very good
English in the editorial page o. re-
cent issue of the Hawaii Shinpo.
The problem under discussion, in the
opinion of the writer, resolves itself to
this: Are the sugar planters of Hawaii
in favor of the cause of white supren-
acy in the Paradise of the Pacific? Of
course their plantations must be run
and run at a profit if the Territory is
to continue progressing and prosper
Gus. But are 100. 900 Asiatics necessary
to do this?

actually bitten by them without suffering
any Ill effects. 1t is supposed that they
have some secret remedy, and all the in
genuity of the whites for the last fifty
years has been addressed to finding what
the remedy is. The Mexican government
has tried to buy 1t from them, but they
have always evaded the request. A great
many white men have tried to penetrate
the secret without success. DR.. j. Miller
for years attended the dances every season
and was finally admitted TO the Moki priest
hood. He was promised every year that
the next year he would be initiated into the
secret of the antidote. but he died without
finding 1t out.
There is just one theory on which II is
possible the Mokis work. DR.. Mitchell
found during his experiments that pigeons
could be Injured to the poison so that they
could stand dose twenty times strong
enough to kill them when the treatment
first commenced. In fact one pigeon was
brought to stand fifty times the lethal dose.
though this was an exceptional case. 1t 10
possible that during the period of initia-
ton, when the Mokis are being prepared
for the dance. they are Injured by re-
peated small doses of the poison. This,
however, Is mere speculation. If true It
would show that a man in the rattlesnaks
country could be at least temporarily vac
cinated, as 1t were, against the venom. But
whether or not the protection would en-
dure is another question.

But the maintenance of Camp Good VIII
is not the only work in which the summer
outings committee is engaged. The COM
mittee arranges for steamer excursions
given by churches, Sunday schools and So
cieties of various kinds to working moth
ers and their children during the hot sum-
mer months. Last season the Ordnance
Mutual Relief Association of the Navy Yard
gave an outing at River View 20 about
500 children and their mothers, and several
Sunday schools have provided similar out
ings arranged for by the outings commit

were rested and refreshed by these excur-
sions last year

than II o0O car tickets were distributed and
used in this form of outing.
At Camp Good VIII last season nearly 800
children and mothers, carefully selected
among those in great need of physical
mental and moral stimulation, were given
weeks outing at the summer camp, and
this year 1t is expected that more than
LOGO persons will be given a two weeks
outing at the camp
The funds for carrying on this great
municipal charity are furnished by con-
tributions from citizens. business houses
and societies. The committee states that lt

son, and an appeal is being made TO the
people of Washington to make good the de-
hcit. More tents, a horse and wagon and
more cows are greatly needed at Camp
Good VIII.
1t Is hoped that next season some provi-
sion may be made for extending the sum-
mer outing work to the poor colored peo-
pie and If possible a separate camp for
colored children will be established in a
spot near Washington.

mornings. In addition they have a regular
playground, equipped with the latest ap-
paratus, including walking rings. horizon
tai bar, swings, punching bag, horizontal
ladders and other appliances Provision is
also made for playing tennis, croquet,
quoits, ring toss, basket ball, volley ball
and base ball, and in all these sports and
exercises the children engage with great
enjoyment.
Just before noon dinner the boys and
girls make up their cots and put their tents
and sleeping quarters to rights. After their
work and exercise of the morning they are
all prepared with a sharpened appetite for
the wholesome farm dinner, which is
served in the big tent.
In the afternoon the boys work in the
big garden for a few hours and later in
the afternoon they all go for swim IN
the pool The garden, which is super!n-
tended by an experienced gardener, supplies
practically all the vegetables needed for
the inhabitants of the camp, and the fresh
milk is furnished by the three cows which
compose the doctors herd, so called from
the fact that practically all the doctors OF
Washington contributed one dollar each

Many of the children when they are first
taken to the camp get homesck for their
parents the first evening when the dark
ness comes, and it Is then that those in
charge are required to exercise their tact
and tenderness in comforting the tired tots
who cry for their mothers and want TO so

ever, seldom lasts for more than day or
two, and the children become willingly

accustomed to the separation from their
parents after the first two or three DAYS
have elapsed and they have entered fully
into the spirit of the country life.
Camp Good VIII has furnished several
interesting incidents of development on the
part of some of the children, who have had
but meager advantages In life, during their
brief sojourn at the camp. Among the
that have taken place at the camp is mem
toned the case of a lad about thirteen years
OF age, the oldest child in a family Of five
children. This boy was known as ter
ror" prior to his vacation in the camp. He
was a most unSOctabie fellow, who held
aloof from the other children and Of a
rather incorrigibe disposition. He was
willing to perform little duties with the
understanding that he would be allowed to
ID them alone but he declined to do any,
with other children. Finally the men in
charge of the camp, taking a special inter-
est in the case, had the lad go with them
frequently. They talked with him about
various things and discovered that the only
thing he seemed to be interested in his
school, which he had attended only at short
intervals They talked with him about his
studies, took him excursions to the
woods. and finally he began to unbend He
had been accounted as rather unreliable
lad, but they trusted him with important
commissions and showed their confidence
in him. His hostility to the other chill
dren gradually disappeared and few days
before his vacation at the camp was ended
he was the leader of the boys in all their
expeditions and in their sports while his
parents have since reported that he Is al
most entirely transformed from the incor-
rigsble youth into good natured, dutiful
son.
Several other cases of similar nature
have been noted at the camp, but a case of
