Next Meeting Of Governor and Council,
tuesday, July at 10 A. M.

Hon. A. W. Gilman Of FnXcroft,
commissioner of agriculture, was at
the department yesterday on matters
of business pertaining thereto and
also for the purpose of being present
at meeting of the Governor and
Council. In speaking in a general way
Commissioner Gilman said that people
of other states evidently had Il queer
impression regarding Maine farms, for
he seldom came to the Office without
finding letters from those people ask
ing for list OF the abandoned farms
in Maine. OF course Maine like other
states has some abandoned farms, but
not 50 very many, and while other
states make a practice of publishing.
an annual list of these agricultural
derelictS Maine does nothing of the
kind.
There are not as many abandoned
farms in Maine as might be imagined.
There have been in the past, but the
majority of them have been sold,
many Of them to farmers whose
property they adjoincd, who have
reclaimed them from their rundown
condition and made them once more to
bring forth crops OF converted them
into WoOdlOtS. Some Of these farms
said the commissioner, which are billy,
rocky and uninViting, are better fitted
for growing timber than crops and
should never have been cleaned up
Many farms, too, are now sold t.
wealthy people from other states, tor
summer homes. and it is doubtful, if a
list Of the abandoned farms Of Maine
We're published, that it would be a
very long one.

PLEA FOR CITIZENSHIP.

One great obstacle to the cause of
the japanese assimilation in politics
in Hawaii is that the japanese can
not enjoy American citizenship, while
others-Italians, Hungarians, Turks
are allowed to take part in civic af-
fairs. We believe that wise American
men of far sight viii know that man
can never live with bread alone; in
other words, man is an economic. in
tellectual. social, religious. and political
being. Without having any interest
or any right in his political community,
no matter if he enjoys richness, man
can never be satisfied We are often
told that the japanese in Hawaii are
too much national, hosting their ma
tional flag on their national holidays,
and have little sympathy with Amer
lean spirit. But the only way to make
the Japanese the loyal citizens of Amer
lea is to give them political right to
take part in American politics, then
they will prove the most loyal sub
jects of the Land of Freedom as those

JAPANISM.
BY KEICHI ISHIDA.


1t is beyond question that the ma
tional growth and development, like
that of individuals, is not mechanical,
but mainly organic 1t can not be COM
pretended by mere observation of OBJ
jective symptoms or phenomena. Way
behind phenomena, however, we must
know that there must be the guiding
spirit which causes phenomena or OBJ
jective symptoms. In order to under
stand the real characteristics of "a
man, we must study not only his
physical aspect, but also his mental
aspect. In some sense, the latter is
more significant for the study of the
man. In like manner, national char
acteristics should be investigated from
its physical and mental aspects. I'm
less we understand the mental aspect
of a nation, its physical aspect may
be easily misinterpreted. The essence
of national characteristics is rather
spiritual than material, and we find
that almost any nation that has come
into prominence has unique spirit from
which its outward progress and develop
ment has been effected. The Americans
have their national spirit and it is
called Americanism; so the japanese
have their own spirit which is named
,IaDanism

of the people All outward phenomena
are only the consequences of the activ-
ity of the fundamental spirit of the
people. We do not know what may
happen in the course of the develop
ment of Japan in future; yet we know
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1907-11-20

that the lasting forces and principles
Of the japanese life win never pass
away. Though the body Of the Japa-
nese society decline, the spirit of the
people viii never die We are always

teristics Of the new rising nation in

SFTF-REITANCE

In the fourth place, Japanism means
the spirit of self direction. AS men
toned above, Japanism means modesty
and submission; but true Japanism in
wolves originality, inventiveness, and
independence. 1t is not the desire of
the true japanese to depend upon 9TH
ers, but it is the ideal of him to open
his way relying upon his ability. This
is the secret of the success of the
Japanese in Hawaii as an economic
immigrant, so in the scientific discov-
cry; so in administrative reforms:
SO in church organization, and all 9th
er cases. But one must not consider
that the japanese spirit of self irec-
tion means narrow Jingoism. True
Japanism means assimilation; the Japa-
nese adopted all western ideas and sys-
tens, and modified them into the Japa-
nese ideas and system; while, on the
other hand, they emigrated into other
countries and showed how much they
were flexible in their ideas. We can
not say that the japanese in Hawaii
are all Americanized or Hawaiianized,
but the great majority of them show
that they have surrendered their old
modes of life to those of Hawaii and
no doubt, when the Hawaiian-born Jap
anese become man and woman, Hawaii
will see the strong force of the Japa-
nese descents of Hawaii mel, who will
never be behind any immigrants from
southern Europe.

THE VITAL SPIRIT.

What is meant by Japanism? Since
the small brown men in the Far East
began to whip the giant bear in the
North, in continual success, all the ma
tions in the world being astonished,
commenced to pay their special atten-
ton to the new victorious nation. Some
of them entered into the study of the
causes of the victory or ascendancy of
Japan, and assert that the main cause
of japanese ascendancy is militarism;
others claim that Japan has establish
ed herself upon institutionalism while
others think that it is due to the fact
that the, japanese have copied the
western civilization with skilful imlta-
ton. OF course we can not say that
all of the above mentioned remarks
are entirely erroneous, but we must say
that they are only phenomenal OBJ
servation. They are not, in a strict
sense, commented upon the fundamental
causes, or why the Japanese achieved
military ascendancy, or why they We're
successful in the growth of institu
tionalism, or why they did not fail to
adopt the western ideas and systems
in the various human activity. In other
words, they failed to discover the vital
spirit of the nation, which effected
achievement in militarism, attainment
in institutionalism, and success in imi-
tation-which is called Japanism. 1t is
the intention of the writer to attempt
to discover what is the fundamental
cause of the ascendancy of modern
Japan, or to explain the spirit of the
small brown men, namely ,Japanism.
Japanism may be divided into four
great elements, /, the spirit of self
remuneration; ?, the spirit of self-cOn-
troll; 8, the spirit of self-sacrifce, and

SINKING OF SELF.

SINKING OE' SELF.
Japanism means, first of all, the spirit
of pronunciation. 1t implies modesty
and submission. However, it does not
mean mere obedience and blind sub
mission to others. 1t is respect for
others as well as for themselves. 1t is
not self-assertive, but diffident and I'M
assuming. 1t is true that in any coun-
try where strong individualistic ideas
prevail, we find that everybody con-
siders himself equal to others, and
naturally he would not desire to yield
to others without any profitable COM
pensation We find the spirit of self
assertion among democratic society,
which is no doubt the most significant
characteristic of the Anglo-Saxon race.
However, in a society like Japan which
is founded upon communal ideas, the
people have slight individualistic ideas,
aud it is no wonder to see that they
would depend upon one another with
modesty and submission. At home IN
the Sun-Rising Kingdom virtues of sub
mission and modesty are most praised,
so in school; so in army and navy; and
so in factory or farm. 1t seems to US
that the Japanese in the Hawaiian Is
lands and the mainland are winning
the hearts of the employers, because
they are not only industrious and in
telligent, but also obedient; it is often
said that most American employees do
their services for the employers be-
cause they are contracted in bargain,
but thew have slight warm personal
feeling toward the employers.
In a word, they think that they work
because they sell their labor to the
customers, the employers, and on the
other hand the employers have the cor
ideas that they purchase the
labor of the employees. Therefore, it |
is inevitable to witness the organiza-
ton of the employers on the one hand. |
and the labor union by the employees |
or workingmen; and thus there appears |
a deep gulf between the employers and |
the employees. the condition which |
naturally leads to incurable enmity and |
between the two classes. We |
are sorry to say that the above men
toned are the general conditions of |
evil in modern industrial society. How
aver. it is seldom such an enmity among /
The Japanese industrial classes of peO- |
Die is seen. If unfortunately there |
we're any, it would have been because
he employers neglected to make proper |
treatment for the employees. We often
lear that labor problems can be solved
DIV communism and socialism, but we
must remember that the fundamental
method of the solution is not in mere
outward condition. but rather in inner
psychological condition of both the en-
blowers and employees. 1t is true that
-irtues such as mOdesty and submission
