GEOGRAPHICAL DISTINCTIONS.

Inhabitants of the Isle of Wight
speak of "going to England" when
they leave their own fragment of the
kingdom. A patriotic Cornishman also
goes to England" when he crosses
the lamar. Similarly inhabitants of
the Balkan peninsula talk of ''going to
Europe when they leave their own
corner of the continent-in curious
contrast with the people of Great Brit
ain, who regard themselves as both of
and in Europe. and it is only .'the
continent that they visit There is

PREFERRED THE INSOMNIA

A story is told of the late bishop of
London, DR.. Creighton, and Lord Rose.

the bishop of want of sleep, to which
the bishop replied that he never suf.

remedy The bishops formula was
very simple. If he felt drowsy he
started to write sermon and in
lew moments he was wide awake. On
the other hand if he wanted to sleep
all he had to do was to start to read
a sermon. Then sleep came in few
seconds Lord Rosebery replied that
1t was his practise to choose the les

to reading sermons.

AMERICAN vs.. ORIENTAL
AS EMPL OYMENT GETTERS

Editor Advertiser:-In your paper of
the 4th inst. appeared an article,
American VS.. Oriental relating the
experiences of young American seek
ing employment in this city. His ex.
perienee is one that should make the
American residents of this city pause
and think deeply. Most of us resent
the imputation that white man does
not have fair show here of obtaining
honest employment and that preference
is given Orientals. But let US consider
a few well-known facts and examples.
One of our leading banks employs
at least five or six Orientals in re-
sponsible positions, at least three as
bookkeepers or clerks on the individual
ledgers, probably at salaries from $40
to $50 a month. These positions could
and should, / believe, in fairness and
justice to the other American or Eng
lish clerks in that same bank, but most
of all to the depositors and community,
be filled by Americans or citizens at
salaries ranging from $75 to $3.50 per
month. To be sure, the Orientals in
these islands do quite a little business
with the banks, and the banks are justi-
fed in employing one or two 0rientals,
but ! do not believe that for the sake
of saving a few dollars in expenses
Orientals should be given preference
over Americans.
There are MANY firms and business
houses which are following this same
example and custom-namely, employ
ing Orientals III many positions that
should properly be filed by white men,
Americans, Englishmen, Germans or
other of the Latin races. | frankly
admit that many positions can proper
ly be filed by Orientals, but there are
a large number of positions that could
and should be filed by white men, and
l consider it oniy just and right to this
community and Territory that the
firms which depend for the bulk of
their trade upon the white people of
this city should employ white men
whenever and wherever possible.
There are many other examples of
men in this city in comfortable or
well-to-do circumstances who boast of
their Americanism and are loud in
their claims for the protection of
American shipping and American man
ufaetures, and yet employ Orientals
almost exclusively in building their
homes or cottages for rent or for va
rious lines of mechanical work / would
| like to ask what kind of Americanism
is this? Is TINS sincerity? Is this
right to the community and the Ter
| ritorya
There is a large number of people
| who | believe, can be excused for EN-
! ploying Orientals. For instance, the
/ man of small means who desires to own
| his own home and has to save from his
] salary, and also borrow money to help
him build small home for himself and
| family. In such eases it means no
home or else the employment OF
j Oriental carpenters. As. / believe. the
| owning of his home makes a man feel
more settled and helps him to become
a better citizen in every way, do not
feel like censuring or blaming such a
man for employing Orientals when
otherwise, he would feel he could moi
afford TO build. But I do believe most
| decidedly that every man who employ:

PINEAPPLES REACHED

Spokane (Wash.) Chronicle.-Alfred
Jones, the well known achitect. who
has recently returned from a pleasure
trip to the Hawaiian Islands, brought
ties. The Hawaiian Island pineapples
which are grown there in large quanti
ties. The Hawaiian Island pinneapples
are particularly large and of exception

fruit brought by Mr.. Jones weighs
1912 pounds, and although ripe when
picked it was in excellent condition on
arrival here. Mr. Jones states that the

labor owes it to his family, if he has
one, and to the community in which he
lives to employ citizens, whether he
employs clerks or statesmen in his bust
ness or carpenters or mechanics in their
branches of work.
| will say frankly that / think
many of our clerks, carpenters and
mechanics are themselves to blame for
not securing employment, and have
brought. certain amount of discredit
upon themselves as a class. They
arrive late to their work, are careless
and slipshoddy, take time off for an
occasional smoke and knock off work
little early or the moment the whis-
tie blows, regardless of whether they
could complete their work in a few
moments more, and seem to take but
little interest in what they are do
ing. have known personally white
men to drag out their work so as to
make job last as long as possible,
or disregard instructions deliberately.
My observation is that the general run
of orientals are conscientious in their
work and do all in their power to
please and satisfy their employers.
to be swe- ping or to apply to the ma
jority of white men, but there are
enough careless and unconseientious
men in the various trades to bring
much diseredit upon their fellow work
men.
| have heard many white mechanics
blame employers and heads of firms
for employing a certain number of
Orientals in their business, and vet
they trade themselves almost entirely
with Orientals, buying not only their
meat and groceries, but most of their
clothes at Oriental stores. Is this con-
sjstent2 Bnt why go into further de-

American in this community to give
this matter careful thought. and while

make every honest effort to give the
white man employment where possible.
both on the plantation, in business and
office and in building operations and
mechanical lines? In this way we
show whether we are true citizens of
our great republic, and it is only in
this way that we are going to build
up the right kind of a community here.
