HONOLULU NO PLACE FOR
KNOCKERS

There never was a day when the
future of Honolulu and Hawaii look
ed brighter than It does at this hour,
and this, Notwithstanding very seri-
Gus issues that undoubtedly are
ahead of us in connection with the
immense Asiatic population in our
midst.
The Federal government has de-
clared irrevocably that the alien pop
ulation of Hawaii shall be reduced,
and that its citizen population shall
he increased by majority SO decis-
i've as to permanently control inter-
nal affairs of this Territory. The
Federal authorities are making
themselves entirely at home and are
allowing their presence to be felt,
and beneficially felt, more and more
among US.
The vast Federal projects set on
foot In Hawaii, the great military
and naval center being established
here. and the concentration of a
large population around 1t. herald
the decree Of America and Its citi-
zens that Hawaii must and shall be
American through and through.
This influence from the mainland
is manifesting itself in plantation
circles. The planters themselves
have recently invited heavy
Of tav ~
sugar corporations to enable Hawaii
to conform to the Federal policy in
the matter of immigration. We
hear little or nothing nowadays in
plantation circles against the small
farmer. Slowly but steadily smaller
Industries are forging ahead, and
the the policy Of diversified indus
tries is so unanimously accepted
! that at this very hour plantations
| are planting as side issues, partic-
ularly In connection with their la
Dor, cotton, pineapples, sisal and
like products.
The recent endorsement of Camp
bells trip to Europe by the WASH
ington authorities, detaching as they
did, a medical expert to render him
assistance In the matter of santa
ton, shows how closely the Terri
torial and Federal government are
moving along together.
That the Federal authorities thor
oughly understand the local Japan
| csc agitators' movement, that they
regard it seriously and that they
take no stock In the silly plea of
persecution of the Japanese is mani
fest in the stern treatment Of Japan
ese for sending incendiary matter
| through the mails. and the COM
placent use by the Federal authori-
ties in prosecution of that indi-
vidual Of the indecent matter found
in Makino's safe, the seizure of
| which is characterized by local legal
talent OF the Oriental quarter of this
city as larceny and burglary.
Furthermore, there is every rea-
, son to believe that Uncle Sam will
interest himself STILL FURTHER
, BEFORE LONG IN THESE MAT
TIERS. Meanwhile the decimation
of the Asiatics in our midst,
reducing their number five thous-
, and and more a year; the preser-
walton of the duties on sugar in
the recent tariff legislation; the
fine treatment all along the line
Hawaii received under that legisla,
ton, and the general outlook, al
point infallibly to good times, gen
eral steady advance towards more
liberal wages and an increasing per-
centage of those wages going into
the pockets of citizen labor
/ We can afford to bide our tim'
and wait upon the tide whose i'm
pulse even now is felt. We cannot
afford to disgrace ourselves, or Il
bring dlscredit upon the internal ad
