eral things are responsible for
this raise. the principal terms
being wages and the price OF
paper. When the present owner
of the Democrat embarked in the
newspaper business four years
ago, the best printer in town was
getting $1,000 per week. Now
they are getting $500, the com.
positors we're getting $500, now
they get as high as $500. At

a promise of another raise of
$500 per ton the lst, Of Decem
Der, and predictions of more raises
coming in the winter, the mills
even now declining to accept or
ders for print paper. The price
of all material and machinery has
advanced in proportion. The
price of the up to date standard
country weekly should never have
been cut to S1.OO per year, and
with these various items of in.
creased cost coming. there is but
one thing for the pulisher to do,
if he desires to have his business
live, and that is to raise the sub.
scriDtion price. This will be
done. the new rate taking effect
January lst. 1908. All subscri-
bers now on the list, may renew
for as long a period in advance as
they chose, at the old rate Of
Sl.OO per year. All new SUBJ
scribers who 90 on the list be.
tween this and January 1st. will
90 on at the old rate of S1.OO per
year, and likewise may pay as far
in advance as they desire. All
subscriptions past due on January
1st. 1908, will be charged for at
the rate of Sl.00 per year to
January 1st. 1908, and after that
date at the rate of Sl.5O. 1t is
the intention of the publisher to
furnish the best weekly paper that
the PATRONAGE will afford. This
increased rate will not afford the
publisher to get rich that much
quicker, but will assist him in
meeting the legitimate expenses

long ago the native Hawaiian was
in preponderence everywhere,
whites were in the commercial
parts of the city, Chinese had
their section and there were q
few Japanee down in the lower
part of town. Now all this is
changed. Everywhere one goes

every business they are in evid-
ence the natives taking a back
seat in all occupations requiring
physical exertion. and leaving
the field to the japanese. An in
vestigation shows that fully
seventy per cent of the population
of the islands. which now are a
part of the United States. ..are
Jaanese. This is bad enough in
itself, but there is an even worse

it is an open secret here that
were a war to come between the
United States and Japan the
Hawaiian islands would be taken
with scarcely a struggle. 1t is
true that there is a body of L nited
States troops on the islands, and
also a few forts with proper
artillery. but these could not hold
out against the horde of Japnese
who are ready to take possession
at a moments notice.
| have talked with a number of
prominent citizens of the islands
and find that while there is a GER
tain element, unfortunately
including a number of govern.
ment officials, who think the
Japanese good citizens, the
general feeling is that it will be
but matter of short time until
the whites will have to make way
for the browns. On one planta
tion on this island there is said to
be two fully armed and equipped
regiments of japanese soldiers
while on the island of Hawaii
three more regiments are said to
be ready. These FIVE regiments
have five thousand fighting mer
ready to turn the islands over to
the japanese government.
While all this possibility hangs
on contingency, it is believed
by the Japanese here that these
soldiers sent here under guise OF
laborers have been sent by the
Japanese government in order
that it may be prepared for any
trouble that may arise.
The peaceful conquest of the
islands. however, is something

1t is the first time that the leader of

The three principal leaders in the

Maurice Featherson. a veteran district

leadership of Tammany Hall. The

ENDS HIS VACATION
Special to the Herald.


Oyster Bay, n. Y, Sept. 24.-Sev-
eral pounds heavier than when he ar.
rived here in the summer and feeling
in the finest fettle as a result of his
outdoor life, President Roosevelt will
take leave of his summer home tomor-
row, his intention being to make a
hurried visit to Washington before
hie trip to the West qsd
South.
Though he has enjoyed his vaca-
ton immensely it has not been all
play and no work for him during the
summer, for it is now known that dur
ing the past five or six weeks he has
nearly completed his annual message.
The message is practically finished
and according to report it is the long
est of American presidential MESA
ges. 1t is said that the message not
only aims to set forth recommends
tons for the coming session Of con-
gress, but also the republican policy
for the campaign of next year
The summer has been very rest
full one for the president In no sum-
mer in the past has he seen so few
people. He is in the pink of condi-
ton for his western trip, which will
be the last he will make before he
ends his term as president, unless
Taft should be nominated.
in which case il is not at all improb-
able that the president will make a
