A JAPANESE VIEW OF THE
LOCAL JAPANESE PRESS

at last became a newspaper man. 1t
was something over seven years since
that he commenced his journalistic
job. when he published the Garden
Island. at Lihue, Kauai, and he was
indeed the pioneer in printing and
newspaper work on Kauai. Mr. Sheba
is an excellent linguist. having COM
mand of English. German, Spanish,
Hawaiian and Chinese. Above all. the
characteristics of Mr.. Sheba are his
constant planning something and his
wonderful business talent which are
prcmptness and exactness. Under the
management of such a gifted man,
there is no reason TO suspect the po-
tential expansion of the Hawaii
Shimpo.
On the whole, no one can doubt the
progress of the japanese newspapers,
which has been made during the past
three years along the general i'm
provement Of the japanese community
in Hawaii. All of these papers are
always contributing something great
to promote the friendly feeling be-
tween the people of the Land of
Freedom and the subjects of the Mi
kado's Empire, which no doubt will
be appreciated by all of our American
friends. K. ISHIDA.
