The Bulletin, paper that almost
invariably fails to see anything
commendable in anything the Ad-
vertiser does or says has the fol-
lowing:
HAWAITS JAPANESE CHILD
REN.
The basis from which the pro-
moters of Government by Commits
sion are working is the alleged
threat, that the Japanese children
who are growing up in the Terri
tory and many accept the privilege
ef voting, will eventually swamp
the electorate, get all the offices,
and shape legislation antagonistic
to American interests
Since Hawaii contains such a
predominance Of japanese laborers,
it is easy for anyone who has not
the statistics at hand to swallow
the bait whole. And those work
ing up campaign to defeat Ameri
can government in Hawaii find
not few ready to believe them.
The statistics of the last census
show that the japanese residents
compose, roughly speaking, a little
over two-fifths of Hawaii's popula
tion. Since 1900 the proportion
has undoubtedly inUcased.
The school statistics of the very
latest date show that the japanese
children make up about on"-fifth
the total attendance in the public
schools. Assuming that all these
children who grow up under Ameri-
can influence and education, elect
to accept the duties OF citizenship
and assuming that these Japanese
Americans all combine to defea,
the American Government, under
which they We're educated, we
should still find the japanese in a
hopeless minority.
Japanese birth statistics may
also be made i'm, ressive from a
scare standpoint if further facts
are not taken into consideration
One of the vital facts of the situa,
ton is that a large percentage oI
the japanese born here do not re,
main. The statistics OF arrival,
and departures Of japanese child,

Act and the governmct of the Terri
| tory by commission brought
forth editorial comment from the
leading Honolulu Papers that will
be read with interest as there is
much in them for thoughtful con-
sideration. The Hawaiian Star
has the two following editorials.
RAPID JAPANIZATION OF HA-
WAII.
The local population statistics
published in The Star last night
make a very remarkable, even
startling, showing. A glance at
the table shows that the Japaniz-
ing of the Hawaiian Islands is pro-
ceeding at a rate that makes talk
OF Americanizing sound ridiculous.
There are various more or less
dreamy plans and hopes of settling
the lands with % Americans, but
nothing practical has developed
along this line in ten years of talk,
while the birth statistics for year
past show 2445 Japanese born in
Hawaii and 1876 Americans These
japanese born will grow up with
the right of citizenship,-the right
to vote. The figures are the cul-
mination of several years of in
crease by leaps and bounds in Jap
anese births here The growing
generation is enough t. vitallv
affect our politics. Add the births
of the year just ended, and it is
easily seen that in about twenty
years, unless some different tide OF
immigration sets in,-the birth
percentages can hardly change
otherwise, Hawaii will be thorou-
ghly japanese. Most people here
realized that there was a greater
increase among Japanese than any
other race, but who realized that
the proportion of births in a year
was 2445 japanese to 1875 Ameri-
| cans, GA Hawaiians, 80 British
81 Germans and 3SS Chinese, 59l
Portuguese, and few Spaniards
and Porto Ricans?
The figures, of course, speak fol
a peaceful, industrial conquest OF
the islands by Japanese Political.

PLAY WATERBURY N. H. H. s. Basketball Team Has Hard Game Before
 it To- night. ALL REGULARS BUT ONE Meets Yale Consolidated Saturday. High School Class Teams
 Will Also Play. N
ALL REGULARS BUT ONE

The New Haven high school quintet are going up to Waterbury this after noon to play the fast Waterbury five. The local team expect hard game, for the Waterbury high school team has been playing fast ball. The local high school team hope to win as their regular team, with the exception of one player, is going to Waterbury. Dustin and Alderman have both been debarred from playing on account of deficiencies in studies. Dustin has now received permission. to play. and will captain the team in to-day's game. Alderman has not yet received permission, but it is expected that he. also. will soon be allowed to play, as he is using the midnight oil remedy. Fraser, who had received an injury in previous game, will also be able to play this afternoon. Sake. as usual. will play his forward position, and it is hoped that he will keep up his splendid record. Frankel and Stark weather will complete the five. while Connolly will go along as substitute.
 Kendrick Bird, the manager of the N. H. H. S. quintet, has certainly been doing great work. Through his com petent management the debt of the basketball team is fast being removed. The team has gained new vigor under his management, winning game after game, swamping the Bridgeport high school team Saturday night.
 A game has been secured with the strong Yale consolidated team for Saturday night at the Anderson gym nasium. This game will certainly be a hair-raising one, as the Yale Con solidated have fast team This will make the second game they have played with the local high school, tho first game being won by the latter aft re playing an overtime game. on ac- count of tie score. There certainly ought to be large crowd to see this game as it will be one Of the great est interest throughout. Besides this there will be game between the up- per classmen of the high school This ought to be an interesting game as there have always been a great deal of rivalry between the classes of 1909 and 1908.
 The lineup of the high school team for it's games is as follows: Frankei, left forward; Saxe, right forward. Dustin. center; Starkweather right guard; Fraser, left guard; Connolly. substitute.

THE FREE PASS EVIL.

The free pass evil is occupying the attention of baseball managers all over the country. The Connecticut league magnates seem to have been the first 10 take the bull by the horns and this is the way the New York Sun speaks of it:
 That a change in methods, how ever. will occur soon seems to he in- dicated by the fact that the Connec- ticut league has just adopted string ent rule to the effect that any person who attends a championship game in that league must have ticket, and every ticket shall be accounted for to the visiting club at half the regular rate of admission This arrangement will compel the home club to pay a fixed sum for every deadhead who passes the gates. In that way it is believed that the free ist will be re- duced to a minimum. Those who are opposed to the evil say that no other amusement enterprises tolerate such a practice and that if the theaters is sued season books on 6 similar scale they would do losing business. The expenses of running a ball club are so great that the owners declare that they need all the money that can he taken in at the gates to make their baseball investments profitable"

PULLIAM DESIRED Effort Being Made to Place Him at Head of National Bowl
 ing Association. J. CLINGEN IS POPULAR Candidate for Presidency of \. B. A. Enthusiastic Follower of Ten
 pin Game.

New York, Feb. 1S.-The candidacy of John J. Clingen, president, and J. E. Hardenburg. membership secretary of the New York Bowling association for next president of tue National Bowling ass ssociation, in the election to be held at Rochester, March s, has excited attention of mutual friends among prominent boWlrrS, who. to avoid the danger of a dividend delega- tion from the Greater Cit, arg trsIng to effect a compromise
 One plan is to select for the n1si- ton of president some man of na- tional prominence, ani in this drec- tio it is pointed out that in orde" to offset the advantages game by the American Bowling congress. the west ern rival of the x. B. A., in re-elccting Garry Hermann, chairman of the Ma tional baseball commission, as presi- dent, and, in coming to Pittsburg for the tournament in 1909, the eastern body in holding it's tourney next year in New York. must rise to the eXigen- cies of the situation. To this end an effort will be made, it is said, to get Harry Pulliam, president of tho Ma tional Baseball association; Frank J. Farrell, presidenut of the New York Americans. or some others whose names have been suggested, to become the head of the N, B. A,
 Clingen has a strong following among ocal bowlers. for when he be- came president of the x. Y. B. A it was in the throes Of dissolution. An other faction had wrecked it by bad management and whan. reorganiza- ton was apparent the offices were fill ed with incompetents 10 the Clingen's hands. In spite of this handicap, Clingen, with pluck and enthusiasm in the ten-pin game, personally car ried the association along until now 1t has membership of 163 clubs, rep resenting 3,l50 registered tournament bowlers. No one man in tho east has done as much for bowling and none Is quite as modest. He is man who does things.
 Hardenberg has materially aided in llllS IeSuit, HIS NuIh ptins CHlenS dS organizer. The registration scheme, which resembles that of the A. A. U., is his, and the task was a difficult one. He was one of the organizers of the N. B. A. and it's first president. He is the manager of the New York City News association. which he as- sisted in organizing, and 1t is the largest in the world.
 As New York is to have the next tourney of the N B. A., success will require at It's head a man of great business ability. It will cost $50. to hold this tournament, and S50,000 more will be distributed in prizes among the 5000 competitors. It will be the greatest bowling event ever held in the world

COLU MBlA TONIGHT Yale's Last Home Game of the
 Intercollegiate League Series. FIGHT FOR SECOND PLACE Game Promises 10 be Fast Ono
 Van Week is Shifted to . Forward.
IGHT FOR SECOND PLACE

At the Yale gymnasium tonight will be played probably the fastest and most interesting basketball game of the intercollegiate league season since 1t is the fight for second place in the league between Columbia and Yale. Both teams arc nperfect physical condition and both teams are out for blocd4
 In the Yale lineup there will be one important change, that of playing Van Week at forward in place of Wren, and plying Wylie at center in the place of Van Week. The reason for this is that Ryan the Columbia center is a heavy rough player and needs someone with football tactics to block him Van Week at forward can perform most of the functions of the center without doing the heavy block Ing work
 Ryan. the Columbia center, is one of the fastest men in the league, and lDl IpuS lltSS ltSCllblcs Dplh La dQ- renee Sullivan in his prime. Wylie will have his hands full attending to him. The rest of the Columbia team is very strong, and Yale will have to put up a first class game. To-night's contest is the last home contest in the intercollegiate. Two more home games will be played one with Har- ward and the other with the Yale alumni team. The lineup for to- night:
