The New Agreement With Japan and
the Japanese Invasion.

the Japanese Invasion.
America. and Japan have passed
notes agreeing to let each other alone
In the Pacific. That Is. they are. not
to trench upon one another's preserves
and both are to guarantee the open
door In China
Under the circumstances this Is a
reapprochement and in a way circum-
vents the suggestions Of a treaty be-
tween China and America. This
American-Japanese understanding
creates an entente and ranks almost
In dignity with the Anglo Japanese al
lance OF some years ago. The notes
came very near guaranteeing an Of
fensive and defensive alliance. In the
case Of trouble each nation Is to go to
the relief OF the other, when the facts
OF the situation are to be considered
and the policy to be determined. This,
or course, does not go quite as far as
Japan's treaty with England. but is
distinctly step In that direction. Un-
der the understanding" the Philip
pines are distinctly protected and the
assurance is implied that no secret
agreement be made with China. This
last diplomatic conference would
make unnecessary and impossible an
Americah-chinese agreement.
Meanwhile the persistency of Japan
Tn sending over coolies to America is
remarkable. In three states of the
great northwest II is estimated that
100000 Japanese are quartered and at
work. They come in under the gufse
81 japanese students. They take the
most menial work. They run as ele-
vator boys and as hotel walters. as
oartenders. and do anything that they
can get their hands upon. They do
Il well and accept meagre wages. They
are apt. initiative and Industrious
They always manage to get a little
schooling and are ambitious to marry
white girls. They spend their money
weli; as "a rule do not hoard IL like tn.
Chinese. or send 1t back to their
homes. They have a passion for get
ting acquainted with the people and
Or getting ahead in their work. When
the northwest was short on the sub
Ject or labor. their coming was
welcome. but the people say now that
We are getting too many OF them: that
these are evading the laws and are
coming down through Canada to
America; and that although they may
go To school for a short while each
DAY, they are not I'm the real sense
Japanese students. A prominent Jap-
ahese announced at banquet the
other day I'm Toxic. that his country
was going to send 10000 900 people
over to America. They were to pur-
sue peaceable mission. OF course
the number Is exaggerated. but their
presence might be dangerous i'm case
of trouble In Japan.
so while the state department Is ex-
changing notes with the Japanese am
passador, the japanese coolies are rap
idiy hiiing up the Pacific slope.-Sav-

In the interests of ordinary truth,
the ordinary citizens OF Honolulu
may take 1t for granted that II there
was any deep-laid machine plot to
overthrow anyone at the Saturday
primary, It was operated so far below
the surface that a deep-sea political
dredger would be required to bring
It to light.
The only complaint that can be
raised against the primaries is that
the contests, II there were any, were
not sufficiently sharpen exciting to
give the people fair practise in the
very necessary business OF attending
party primaries.
In this feature alone may the ene-
mics of the party find consolation.

Thief OF MEALS
GOES TO PRISON
Andrade Halls Foong PAX Wah
as an Inventive
Genius.

Foong PAX Wah. a young Chinese
appeared in the Police Court this
morning on four charges of larceny
in the second degree. He had invent.
ed new line of rascality, which, Sc
Judge Andrade said, did much credit
to his inventive genius, but which
eventually cost him dearly.
Wah's new line was simple in the
extreme. He would go to a Chinese
restaurant, representing himself as
being employed by one of the large
Chinese firms in the city. and order
from three to six meals, according to
the state of his appetite, which he
would take along with him. He would
then find some nice clean spot In an
empty lot, where he would enjoy his
bunch of meals. He never paid for
the viands, and furthermore he did
not even have the decency to return
the dishes. The police say that he
yictimized no less than seven restau'
rants in this manner. Wah was sen
fenced to Imprisonment for six months
on one charge, the rest of the cases
against him being nolle ,pros'd.
Saro was fined $40 and costs for as.
sault on a gentleman, named lamt
gaia, and Chas. Santos was assessed
a similar amount for hitting Chin.

was fined So and costs for leaving his

MUCH In A NAME

The San Francisco Chronicle makes
the very sensible comment that -"al-
most the only obstacle to the pas
sage of the so-called ship subsidy bill
in its present form is its name, Pol-
iticians are able to make the public
believe that it is a proposal to give
somebody something out of the Ma
tional Treasury. 1t is nothing of the
kind. 1t is merely a proposal to buy
something which all the people who
know anything about the subject,
and vast majority OF those who do
not, declare that they want at the
lowest price at which 1t is possible
to be got. Nearly all of us agree that

SATURDAYS PRIMARIES.

Just why the organ of the Demo-
Gratis and the Civic Federation should
interpret the Saturday primaries of
the Republican party as an over
throw for the Civic Federation is one
of those problems capable of a great
variety of answers.
1t requires a very vivid magma
ton to interpret the almost sleepy
primaries held in this city ana
throughout this County, as in any
measure contest between any indi-
vidual or combination of individuals.
In no precinct on this Island does the
size of the vote cast warrant the con-
tention that any particular faction
of the Republican party made a hard
campaign for its ticket or polled Its
full vote.
III II be true that the Civic Fedora
ton candidates in the Second Pre-
cinct of the Fourth District summon
ed their full voting strength to the
primary poll, the organization in
whose behalf so much talking is
done has numerical power about
fifty per cent. less than has been
credited 1t by the most conservative
political experts.
The picture that is drawn of the
machine politicians elected to the
Territorial convention is so awfully
awful that Ii is quite ridiCulous We
find that the election OF Charlie
Clark, Harry Murray. Clarence
Crabbe, and four or five others whose
names are not now recalled consti-
tutes the delivery OF the Republican
party to the machine"
This is too bad. Particularly in
view OF the fact that among the to,
