months after their arrival not one OF the
emlgrants remained In the fields. II was
clear then that the planters must rely
upon the japanese. and the latter Thor
oughly appreciate the situation. They are
a rough lot, difficult 10 keep In hand.
Most OF them have been drawn from the
cities Of their native land aud many are
criminals and unruly characters. Violent
outbreaks and riots have been frequent
among them and on more than. one occu-
sion very serious trouble has been avertcd
only by the Interference OF their own gov
ernment. They have formed labor organ
izatlons and are striving 10 unite all their
countrymeu engaged IN the cane helds IN
one union. Should they succeed the sugar
industry VIII be entirely AZ their mercy.
Extensive strikes have already occurred,
which have been the cause OF enormous
losses. There are a number OF educated
and intelligent japanese engaged in trade
10 the various centers, and these are
reckoned among the most valued citizens
Of the territory. Hundreds OF japanese.
both men aud women. are employed as
domestic servants. and in this capacity
they have no superiors.
In marked contrast TO the Japanese are
the Chinese. Originally drafted into the
fields they worked well IN their stolid
fashion; never took part In the agltations
OF their fellow-laborers and gradually left
the plantations with their savings. They
are now engaged In trade. OF In the
cultivation OF taro lands. With hardly
an exception they are forging ahead by
the exercise Of commendable qualities
Hawaii has no better citizens than its
Chinese, and none more prosperous. In
1901 there we're upwards OF LOO Chinese
paying taxes on real estate assessed al
$500, ,0ss. and nearly 1900 OF this race
rated as owning personal property valued
az 3,2s7, 500. In the same year the
Caucasian taxpayers owning real estate
numbered 3.365. assessed az $40. .S9OOll; /;
and tho Caucasion personal property tax
I payers, I..5i. assessed at Ss,370.6Ss.
The ox-like Chinaman Is the most peace
able, industrious and lawabldlng member
OF the community. He Is an excellent
husband and father, and is much sought
after by the Hawaiian girls He IS very
ambitious for the welfare OF his sons. and
gives them every educational advantage
that the Islands snt0sA, There IS no

that the territory will eventually become
Japanized. There does not seem TO be
ground for apprehension. however. FOR,
although the japanese are numerically
strong enough 10 attain a dominating
position In the insular politics they do
not display any inclination to exercise
the ordinary privileges OF citizenship.
Very few, Indeed OF those entitled TO
vote DO so. on the other hand. there Is
ample evidepce that the Japanese aim
TO control the labor situation. and every
reason 70 believe that they win succeed.
AT present the sugar Industry Is depen-
dent upon their labor. and there docs
not appear TO be any available suhsfi-
tute for H. Almost every kind OF white
labor has been tried IN the fields with
satisfactory results only IN the case
OF the Portuguese. They are no longer
available. The cost Of their Importation
Is at the present time almost nrohibltive,
and they have now no induccment 20
emlgrate in the prosperous state OF their
own country.
In this connection Governor Carter. OF
Hawaii, said: 1T has for many years
ueen necessary 10 promote Immigration
OF field hands 70 the islands, and many
countries have been drawn from. There
las been regularly conducted emigration
from Germany. Galicia. Norway and
Sweden, Azores. Madeira. Portugal.
China. Japan and Porto Rico. besides
which British. Americans. Italians and
negroes from the United States have come
IN small numbers Today there are no
white men laboring IN cane delds here.
Those who have tried Il have never
stayed by II for any length Of time. and
abundant evidence exists that the white
man cannot and will not stand the work
OF tropical cane felds" Some years ago
the largest plantations IN Hawaii tried
an experiment with American farmers.
Fifteen families from the West were
brought 10 the Islands. Al their expenses
were paid. They were settled IN comfort
able houses each with garden patch ana
the use OF pasture land. Each family
was given a certain area 10 cultivate Ia
cane. and every assistance In the way OF
blowing and preparing the ground was
Afforded 10 them. The experiment proved
a complete failure. The work was beyond

caste distinction nor any color line In
Hawaii and. therefore. no bar to the
social, commercial or political advance
ment Of the young Chinese Hawaiian.
These youths are IN great demand by
business houses and banks. Government
officials and merchants unite IN the state
ment that none better than these young
men can be found TO on positions rcquir-
ing exceptional honesty and intelligence.
In Hawaii the Chinaman is appreciated
The whites want more of him. They
would Ike 70 gel rid Of the Japanese in
the sugar plantations aud put Chinese
IN their places Several attempts have
been made to secure for Hawaii exemp-
tion from the Chinese Exclusion Law,
but with little prospect Of success. There
would be no danger Of injury to citizens
OF other portions Of the United States In
granting this privilege to the Hawaiians,
for The organic law Of the territory
makes ample provision for the prevention
Of Chinese from going thence 10 the main
land.
In the meanwhile Hawaiians ask them
selves: What Is 10 be the composition Of
the population OF the territory in The

prevented? OF course. The most desirable
solution OF the difficulty would lie in the
immigration OF Americans. Unfortunate
", in this the most pleasant portion Of
the United States IN which to live, there
Is very little room for our own country
men. They cannot work 10 the fields.
There Is hardly any desirable land that
they may take up and cultivate. There are
no openings for them as mechanics OF artis-
ans. few Americans could find a com
Portable livelihood In the Islands by en-
gaglng small capital In the minor agri-
cultural Industries. such as fruitgrowing
and perhaps raising sisai or other nber.
The man, however, who goes out TO Ha-
wall must be satisfied to abandon all
thought Of wealth and accept rs compen-
sntion a comparatively easy life. free
from strife and worry, In a splendid
climate and amidst the most beautiful
scenery in the world. Hawaii Is an ideal
country for the pursuit Of the simple
life, bnt It no longer Affords opportunities
