Postmaster Hopkins and his force

Clerk u. f. Barnes, who has been
comforting with other chief clerks in

City, believes that the mail rush will
be the biggest this rear in the history

had their heads together planning
ways and means to handle the trans
p%ortation OF the mails effectively at
Christmas time.

names of owners or much information

would alarm business men, to whom the
enumerators must GO next year for in
formation about the number of their
employees, the value of their outputs
and dozen other like subjects.
The agricultural census is of even
greater proportions than the manufac-
lures census, but the same difficulties
do not attend the taking of it. A
farmer has no particular objection to
telling the value of his farm and stock.
There is little secrecy about his oper-
ations. His neighbors know the value
of his properties quite as we'll as he
knows them himself.

Uses to clear up some questions of inn
mediate interest to the executive de.
partments. For instance. it has been
repeatedly claimed that the Chinese
exclusion law is not well enforc-
ed and that the smuggling of Chi
nese over the Canadian and Mexican
borders proceeds apace in spite of the
vigilance of inspectors. A eompari-
son of the Chinese population in the
United States next April with the
Chinese population ten years ago should
show whether many Cinnamon have

law has been in force all that time.
There are difficulties in the way of an
accurate enumeration of the Chinese

tieipate those difficulties and obtain a
correct poll.
The Pacific Coast states have been

The FiIipin0-HaWaiian Labor Question


Manila Times.-We have always felt
that the recruiting of a few hundred
or a few thousand Filipinos for work
on the Hawaiian sugar plantations
would not result in lasting harm to
these islands, and we doubt very much
if any real harm can come of it. On
the other hand, the experience of the
men who go where they have to work
in order to live viii, in time, prove
benefit, for these men, or most of
them, will eventually return to their
homes, and when they do they will be
as leaven to communities of their
own people. At the present time, how
ever, due to peculiar conditions that
exist in our main sugar producing prov
inces, it would be unwise to give the
labor agents free hand, for it is
there that labor is most needed, and
the sugar industry has not yet had
sufficient opportunity to realize the
benefits of free access to United States
markets, and will not be able to ad
just itself to new conditions for one
or two years at the least.
When modern methods have been in
troduced on sugar plantations the
supply of labor on the land will be
found ample; but with the tedious and
wasteful methods by which sugar is
now produced in Negros and Panay a
proportionately large amount of labor
is required, and a minimum of pro-
ducti0n is the best that is possible.
This means that wages must be low if
the industry is to exist, and the ap-
parently fiattering offers that the Ha-
waiian planters agents are able to
hold out to these people is certain to
demoralize the labor market and render
operation of our plantations difficult
where not impossible.
In Hawaii the cultivation of cane
and production of sugar have been
brought to the highest state of perfee-
tion-have been reduced to an exact
science. The land is made, by intense
ultivation-which includes careful fer
blIiAdtIOu anu CVhSbhAG
| produce the maximum yield of cane,
and the modern, complex and costly
| mills in use there extract the maxi
mum of juice from which they manu-
facture sugar of the best quality. With
| labor-saving devices in use throughout,
| and the greatest possible value in the
| resulting product, they are enabled to
| operate with IA comparatively small
number of laborers and pay a maxi
mum wage.
The time is coming when these IS
lands will be in a position similar
to that of Hawaii, except that we viii
| have advantages over Hawaii in irriga-
| tion facilities and in the fact that a
much shorter time is required to ma
| ture the cane here than there. And
these will be very important advan-
! tages, too. for in Hawaii the expense
| of irrigation amounts to nearly. if not
! quite. one-half of the total expense of
| raising the cane. Water for the pur-
| pose, in some cases, has to be pumped
two. three and even FIVE hundred feet
| while in these islands most of the
| sugar land slopes from the mountain
| bases TO the sea, is traversed by live
streams, and may be irrigated by gravi

tation in natural, inexpensive wav
In Hawaii from sixteen to twenty eighG
months, according to the altitude, are
required to mature cane, while in the
Philippines it will mature in fourteen
months from time of planting, and rat
toon crops will mature in twelve
months. Thus it will be seen that when
modern methods are introduced into
the industry in the Philippines and the
limitation on our exports to the Unit
ed States is removed, we will possess
very important advantages over Ha-
waii as a sugar-producing country.
The population of Occidental Negros
alone is considerably larger than that
of the Hawaiian Islands, and probably
as great proportion of that popula-
ton is directly employed in the sugar
industry; but Occidental Negros does
not produce one+sixth as much sugar
as Hawaii, while the value of its
product is not more than a one-tenth
part, as great. From these facts it NAV
readily be understood why interference
with the supply Of cheap labor in Ne
gros and Panay should not be per-
mitted. and the agents of Hawaiian
planters will display wisdom in con-
fining their activities to such provinces
as Cebu, Ilocos Sur, Bohol. etc, where
the population is more dense and Ia
borers can more easily be spared.
A regeneration of the industry in
these islands is impending. With it
will begin an era of better wages, i'm
proved conditions, enlarged opportun-
! ity and a stronger, healthier state of
affairs generally. The labor situation
will then be able to take care of it
self, and neither Hawaii nor any other
country will have sufficient induce
ments to offer to lure the Filipino from
the land of his birth

H|LO JAPANESE
BANQUET sHEBA

Editor Sheba of the Hawaii Shinpo,
who has been on the Island of Hawaii,
acting as arbitrator between factions
of japanese who have hitherto invoked
the aid of the law in making accusa-
tions against each other, was the guest
of honor at banquet given in Hilo
by japanese of that city. About forty
representative japanese gentlemen were
present. Several were from Olaa and
a delegation was present from Onomea
headed by DR.. Kuramoto. It was a
banquet which was unusual even in
Hilo. United States Marshal Hendry
and Mr.. Donohue, who was with Lieut..
Sehwatka on his polar expedition, were
also guests, as friends of Mr.. Sheba.
The most friendly feeling toward Mr..
Sheba and his position in the public
affairs of the Japanese of the Territory
was shown in the speeches
The banquet concluded with dancing
by geishas. 1t was rather an odd
thing that all the geishas spoke Eng
lish very well. Many of the geishas
in Honolulu speak only japanese. A gen
tleman at the banquet who looked like a
Russian because of his beard. turned
out to be J. Walter Doyle of the Uni
ted States Internal Revenue office.
