NOT UP TO
COMMISSION

Editor Advertiser: Having noticed a
letter from MIR. Cecil Brown, which APP
peared In your paper a day or so ago
relative to the negligence OF the Hoo
nolulu Park Commissioners in not
properly maintaining the road in rear
Of Kaplolani Park, think 1t only
proper to state that this road is n
public highway, as IL also Kalakaua
avenue on the makal side OF the park.
These roads are under the control of
the County OF oahu and do not belong
to the park system. Even II they were
under the supervision of the Park
commissioners. with the appropriations
furnished by the Supervisors for Ka-
piolani Park. It would be absolutely
impossible for the Commissioners to
attempt to repair them, as there Is
barely sufficient money available for
the general upkeep OF the park itself.

IDEA OF WAR WITH JAPAN

sight and they will not attempt more
than they can safely handle. They
have Manchura on their hands, and
at this time what more could they
desire? 1t is one of the richest coun-
tries in the world and they will profit
by their virtual possession of it. They
do not want the Philippines now. That
| is very evident fact to all who know
the true condition of affairs in the
Orient today. Japan is in the position
of horse which has all it can posi-
bly, pull. To add weight to their bur-
den would only hinder their progress,
and the Japanese have enough sense to
realize this.
JAPANESE NOT TO BLAME.
There is considerable feeling in this
country against Japan, but you can not
blame the japanese people. They are
out after all they can get They know
that they can obtain more advantages
in this country than any other and
consequently they come here. Can you
blame them for that? 1 have no par
ticular love for the Japanese and do
not look with favor upon the coolies
coming to this country. If the Amer
leans do not want the coolies here why
again that the Japanese are not to
blame. They must be given credit for
the wonderful progress that they have
made and are making.
The United States must retain the
Philippines says Mr. Francis, laying
particular emphasis upon the word
must" IF we should abandon them
at this time we would be the laughing
stock of the world. Why should not
the United States advance abroad as
we'll as at home? And we shall. From
any viewpoint you consider it there is
every reason why We should keep the
islands, and none why we should let
them go. In dollars and cents 1t Is to
our benefit to keep them.
I'VE are beginning to see the light of
day over there and are just entering
into an era of remarkable development
and advancement. The islands are i'm
mensely rich and resourceful. Its re-
sources are wonderful, but, of course,
they must be developed.
I'VE have made the promise that
whenever the Filipinos are capable of
governing themselves we shall retire.
But 1 do not think that We ever shall.
The islands will become so important
from a commercial standpoint that
this country will want to hang on to
them. That day is rapidly approach
ing, and 1t Is not far distant.

Nearly every person who lands in
tnis country from the Orient las
great deal to say as to the probability
of war between the United States and
Japan, but at last an exception has
been found in A. John Francis, for
merly of Portland, but who is now in
the commission and general importing
business, with headquarters at Manila.
He declares that the talk about an
armed conflict with Japan is absolutely
without foundation and laughs at the
very idea. Mr.. Francis. who is accom-
panied by his wife, is in Portland to
spend the holidays with his mother,
Mrs. Elizabeth Francis He has been
in the Orient nearly nine years, and
his views are largely from a business
and financial standpoint.
Why 1t is simply ridiculous and alb
surd to talk about war between the
United States and Japan" declared Mr..
Francis when seen at the Hotel Port
land yesterday afternoon. II had heard
practically nothing of this war talk
until 1 arrived in this country three
weeks ago. l am greatly surprised at
II all because the rumors you hear are
SO far from the truth.
In the first place, Japan Will not be
in a financial condition to wage war
with any country inside of 10 Of Is
years. There is no doubt about that
point. In the second place, Japan has
all she can take care of with Manchu-
ria and she does not want the Philip
pines or the Hawaiian Islands. In the
third place, the powers in Japan re-
gard the United States in an altogether
friendly spirit and are in no way look
ing for trouble. 1t is all tourist talk.
EXPANSION TAKES TINE.
Japan will develop into a great ma
ton and will eventually control China.
But 1t will take time and plenty of
it. While the Japanese are a wonder
full people they can not accomplish the
impossible, and it will be years before
they will be in position to throw
down the gauntlet to the United
States or any other nation.
Japan Is poor country and now its
people are nearly taxed to death to pay
off the millions upon millions of dol
lars they borr wed to carry on war
with Russia. They are weighted down
with a tremendous debt which they
must throw off before they dare to en-
ter into another war. Financially 1t
will be many years before they will be
in condition to undertake another war.
and money is what counts.
THE Japanese are a people of fore

Hundreds of people in Hilo watched
the display. All over the town tele-
phones rang and neighbors called one
another. and many walked to the Wal

a good view was to be had.

burning and coming down in a deluge

was quite natural for any observer who
did not realize that fact to imagine
the apparently flaming clouds as thou
sands of fire fountains.
Yes, 1t was a sight that tourists
would have been glad to have come
from the other side of the world to see.
Very few people have ever gazed on
such a scene in their whole lives"

were Jack Wilson, VIM. Shipman,
