alton, 5000 square miles of territory
with over 10000 COO Inhabitants In
Hawaii, with $500 square miles, we
have but 10000. In the Philippines
there are both territory and inhabi-
tants, the territory undeveloped and
the people unacquainted with the re-
wards from labor.
In Hawaii, with all of it's possibili-
ties for development, the one interest
that has not been neglected, that has
been nurtured and fostered and made
to grow to its fullest extent is that of
sugar and, as a result, practically all
of the large business interests of the
10000 people are in the hands of 5000
whites. of whom perhaps 100 control
three-quarters of the great wealth of
the islands. With the native Hawaiian
race fast dying out, it has been neces-
sary to look elsewhere for the labor
with which to cultivate the cane.
Work in the cane fields, among the tall
growth, in a humid climate shut out
from light and air, is not such as to

path of immigration from the Orient
Hawaii has, therefore, been compelled
to seek Asiatic labor. The Chinese
coolies, ideal for the purpose here,
peaceable and aggressive, even
though they contribute nothing to cit
izenship, are prohibited under the
Chinese exclusion laws, so that, save
for what remains of the earlier Chinese
immigrants, Hawaii is at the mercy of
Japan Tor its labor. The direct result
of this is that the Japanese are now
one-half of the population of hawaii
numerically, and more than one-half in
effective working strength. a position
in which they feel so secure that here
the yellow peril is very real and is
indicated in a domineering and dicta-
torial bearing. The danger to Hawaii,
and incidentally to the whole country
from this situation, is not to be over
looked. What is required and desired
is the Americanization of Hawaii,
whereas it is being Japanned-if the
word may be so used. Public Opin-
ion.

Islands and especially in Honolulu,
where Asiatic intrusion into the depart
ments of trade and industry that citi-
zenship justly claims threatens at
least to become monopolizing and per-
manent 1t will tend to arrest the
exodus OF the whites, so justly de-
plored ny Judge Dole and by Secretary
Atkinson alike, TO restore industrial
prosperity and 20 promote Amerlcaniza-
ton.
The special case of Hawaii should be
vigorously presented, backed by ire
fragable statistics and other facts.
All proper instructions and regula-
tions of Chinese immigration should
be distinctly advocated.
The authority of Congress and its
pledge to guard the interests of the
Territory should be invoked forcibly
and plainly.
American labor combinations should
be reached by the irrefutable PROPOSE
tion that the employment of Chinese
on the sugar plantations will in no
degree conflict with unskilled Ameri-
can labor and viii enlarge the demand
for skilled wage-earners. If labor
unions should object to special legisla-
ton for Hawaii, necessitated by
unique conditions, let them apply a
test to themselves and, if they can do
so, furnish American laborers for field
work Ii they can not, then their OBJ
jeetions are answered, and the prosper
ity of the planters is identified with
their own real interests.
/ am quite convinced that any COM
munity in the United States that
knows what it wants and that what it
wants is right, can get it, if it tries
in straightforward and strong way.
Particularly is this true, where, as in
Hawaii, Congress has the power and is
under the obligation TO fill reasonable
demand 1t is half-formed opinions,
conflicts about trifes, a lack of def
niteness and frmness, indecision and
scattering of energy, undue procrasti-
nation, that beat communities as well
as individuals in the promotion of
legitimate objects.
Should the Planters Association
formulate it's own wishes, invite the
aid of the public and bring the facts
and the converging streams of infiu-
ence to bear upon an Ineligible plan,
it is not too late to approach the peo-
pie and Congress with almost irresist-
IDLE force.
If the local and exceptional acqui-
sition of unskilled Chinese labor, ac-
companied, as general policy, by ex-
clusion that really excludes, would end
the troubles on the plantations, would
enlarge the field for American wage
earners and business men, and would
prevent the further and disastrous
barring out of Americans from Hawaii
by opening up to them opportunities
for prosperous industry, what rational
and patriotic citizen should complaint
1t is truth, simplified and applied, that
will extricate this Territory from its
embarrassments and remove the clogs
and distractions to progress. Doubt
and hesitation never yet captured the
American public.

Can it be that any board or associa-

American citizens, even the poorer,

to travel some thousands of miles to

(eoolie) were proposed to a man on
the mainland the end would be, likely,
a personal confict-a fight. AS for

that proposition also seems, to our
mind, a sort of Arabian Nights dream
"a Spanish-castle AFFAIR." What we
need is the Chinese contract laborer
for the plantation, and that, with other
help from the Federal government, in
the way of forts and all the rest,
will cause Hawaii to become settled
and enriched along traditional Amer

Santa Fe Railroad Company a fran
chise for additional track privileges in
connection with its existing right of
way in the Potrero. Captain A H

pany. wanted TO apply for a new per-
NIT to blast, but the committee de-
clared that the application would be
denied Keller then informed the COM
mittee that the company would GER
tainly continue to blast away the rock
in order TO lower the street to the Of
fetal grade so ii could get across to
its warehouse.
Keller wanted the committee to allow
the company to cut away cliff on its
property 100 feet in height. Keller said
1T would take about a year to do the
work. Braunhart declared that Gray
Bros, who have the contract for the
blasting. would take three years, as
they would remove the rock only as
they needed it, He said II would SIM

The committee decided to have an

the company, with a view Of its ac-
QUESTION by the city. Action on the

FOR SPRING VALLEY
Hydraulic Engineer Rudolph Herring
Comes All the Way From New
York to Give His Opinion.

York to Give His Opinion.
A new and important witness was
examined yesterday before United
States Commissioner Heacock in the
case of the Spring Valley Water Works
against the city and county of San
Francisco to prevent the enforcement
OF the proposed schedule Of water
rates He is Rudolph Herring, consult
ing engineer of the New York water
supply system. Mr.. Herring is well
known as a hydraulic and sanitary en-
gineer in New York, Chicago. Phila-
delphia, Washington. Buffalo, New Or
leans. San Francisco and Honolulu.
He testified in answer to questions by
NJ. B. kellogg. attorney for the water
company, that he had studied the
Spring Valley system for two years.
He said that there was more necessity
in California for the storage Of large
quantities of water than In the Eastern
States, where rain fell during the sum-
mer months, on account of the danger
of a dry season and consequent
diminution of the water supply. In
this climate, he said, it was absolutely
necessary TO provide storage sufficient
for two or three years supply. He
added that II was good financial policy
to purchase real estate years in ad-
vance of its being required for water
supply purposes.
Mr.. Hering's direct examination will
be concluded to-day and the cross-ex-
animation by Assistant City Attorney
John s. Partridge win be begun next
Monday.
