WANT women
FROM JAPAN
Why the Bachelor Sons

Away.

at it again. In the Sunday issue of that
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 a 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 y females to 211
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 eases are caused by
women affairs, and 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
exception of one or two eases. 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 a 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 the crimes in
Hawaii being from women affairs, we
call the attention of the intelligent peo-
pie here to consider this matter with
more care.
1t is not only because the japanese
are so badly disproportioned. 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? It 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-
ion of the japanese residents as well as
The authorizes of the japanese govern
nent to look into this matter and do
to prevent these crimes.
The necessity of importing more
women into Hawaii, is not only to stop |
hese crimes, but also to make the men
md women contented to settle down
nd save money.
The question of Japanese leaving
Hawaii, which is now bothering the
eads of both the Hawaiian planters
nd our Foreign Department, can be
asiiy solved by bringing more women
ere
AS matter of fact, if we investigate
hat sort of laborers are leaving for
he Coast, we will quickly find that the
arried ones very seldom leave, 90 out
E 100 of those leaving here are the
young and strong, and who
I'VE no property to hold them back, +
Id no one to keep them from going
herever they wish to.
Although it is our wishes to stop
cir leaving the Islands, by lettering 7
cir surroundings and paving them $
I'll. it is also, good proposition tel F
ing a sufficient number of women j

,stly the married men. F
There must be many other reasons H
V they bring such small number of "
men as l against 20, but if we desire
solve this problem, we must also take
$ into consideration.
Tor this reason we ask our Govern g
Mt to consider the interests of Japan 70
residents, and if they wish to be
cessful in the immigration enter
,es, they must exhort the women to
,e to Hawaii in order to supply the
land. 1T
