WANT WOMEN
FROM JAPAN


valuable journal the question of why
Japanese emigrate to California is
taken up and discussed at some length
after this manner:
"MoRE wAHINES WANTED
The number of married immigrants
arriving from Japan now day, have
remarkably decreased, most of the new
arrivals being unmarried.
For example, the immigrants arriving
by the Nippon Maru, it is reported con.
sisted of 217 men and II women, in.
Guiding those who come here to join
their husbands SO, the actual number
of married were not very many.
In proportion of II females to 217
males that is l to IS, and if we deduct
those called by their husbands, it will
only leave one female to twenty males.
1t is certainly great difference.
Behind the crimes committed by jap
anese, there is always woman. Most
of the criminal cases are caused by
women affairs, and Q out of 10 of the
criminals in Hawaii, it is said, are made
so by women.
Recently the murder cases reported
one after another, have increased, and
the number of sufferers by the death
sentence has reached six within six
months, and there are still two more to
be hanged this year.
Examine the evidence against these
criminals, and we will find the reason
to be on account of women, with the
exception of one or two cases. While
at the same time, there are many agi-
tating against the death penalty as a
kind of barbarous revenge, and not
proper punishment for the civilized peo-
pie, and say it should be abolished.
We have already six men hanged
within half of the year, and two
more awaiting for their dreadful day
to come. 1t is very unpleasant for a
country like Hawaii, known as the Mis-
sionary's home.
Knowing the causes OF tine crimes III
Hawaii being from women affairs, we
call the attention of the intelligent pco-
pie here to consider this matter with
more care.
1t is not only because the Japanese
are so badly disappointment. in the
number of men and women, but we can
say that they are exceedingly so, and
it is why they have more criminal cases ,
from such causes.
If we investigate thoroughly, the Jap
anese communities in Hawaii, and bring |
them before the judges, how many of
them will be able to prove that they
are absolutely innocent from the guilt,
if charged with immortality? 1t is very
easy to answer that there will be not
large number.
If shortage of females causes all the
troubles, we must again call the atten-
ton of the Japanese residents as well as
the authorizes of the Japanese govern
ment to look into this matter and do
something W prevent .hoSo Sii' |
The necessity of importing more
women into Hawaii, is not only to stop
these crimes, but also to make the men
and women contented to settle down
and save money.
The question of japanese leaving I
Hawaii, which is now bothering the ;
heads of both the Hawaiian planters
and our Foreign Department, can be
easily solved by bringing more women
here.
AS matter of fact, if we investigate
what sort of laborers are leaving for
the Coast, we will quickly find that the
married ones very seldom leave, 81 out
Of 100 of those leaving here are the
young and strong, and who
have no property to hold them back,
and no one to keep them from going
wherever they wish to.
Although it is our wishes to stop d
heir leaving the Islands, by lettering I
heir surroundings and paying them n
we'll, it is also, good proposition to n
bring a sufficient number of women
,ere, and if possible to hereafter import =
Mostly the married men. r,
There must be many other reasons o.
Why they bring such small number OF ir
women as l against 20, but if we desire o
o solve this problem, we must also take =,
b;S into consideration
For this reason we ask our Govern te
nent to consider the interests of Japan o
Sc residents, and if they wish to be M
uccessful in the immigration enter =,
rises, they must exhort the women 10 &C
ONE to Hawaii in order to supply the W
emand. IVY
