LEON JACOBS RETURN
 FROM COAST OUTING
It Was Longer and Less Pleasant
 Than He Expected.

Leon Jacobs. assistant clerk of the board of supervisors returned yester- day morning from an outing at Los Angeles. His visit was prolonged be yond his expectations and much of his time was spent in hospital there in consequence of an accident he sus- tained while on his way to the coast. He set out from Phoenix on one of the from Los Angeles to Phoenix. At Chuchkawalla his foot was caught in one of the wheels and one of the bones was broken. He was sixty-six miles from Mecca, the nearest railroad point and it took eight hours to make the trip. It took eight hours more to reach Los Angeles and there had been a wait of about eight hours at Mecca. His foot by that time was badly in need of attention
 Speaking of the attacks made through some of the Los Angeles pa pers on the reputation of the-citizens of Phoenix for hospitality. Mir Jacobs said that as q matter of fact only 'it HcNspdpeF ndu ever made any complaint. Some of the automobile firms which had representatives here were painfully surprised at the size of the hotel bills and in one case the hotel had been written to about it. It was explained satisfactorily as between the hotel and the automobile that the hotel bill included the bar bill
 The man who made all the trouble Is D. w. Semple the automobile editor of the Los Angeles Herald. a former newspaper man of this territory. He had interviews with the returned auto ists when they were still sore auu weary and he made the most of the re- marks they had uttered while so de- pressed.

ancient civilization that we preserve,
but it's spirit.
in the large cities among the upper
classes, and especially in official circles,
Occidental manners and customs are
much in evidence. 1t is, of course, true
that the new changes have little effect
upon many of the people, especially
the lower classes, but if her present
progress should be continued at the
same rate, in her outward form at
least Japan will be wholly Occidental
lied in the near future.
TO understand the advancement of
our empire during the past century,
let us make some comparisons between
the beginnings of the 18th and the goth
centuries.
In 1900 Japan was still closed coun-
try, but not completely, for occasional
commerce was allowed with the Chi
nese and the Ditch at Nagasaki. From
the time of Mendez Pintos discovery
of Japan, and Francis Xavier's intro
duction of Christianity, not only were
foreigners prohibited from landing on
the shores of Nippon, but even the
Japanese themselves were prohibited
from going abroad.

liquid hospitality in the famous All
Leong trouble-stronghold.
Perhaps almost as pathetic a scene
was the presence before the bar of JUS
tice of Mr.. and Mrs. Parker Cummings,
people well-known and generally res
pected, Their ages combined would
probably reach the even hundred. Mrs.
Cummings again introduced Sir Booze
to the audience. Her husband, she
said, had fetched her swat under the
ear last night which nearly sent her
to Nirvana or wherever it is that dis
embodied spirits migrate. The hus-
band declared that he did not know
how he had hit his wife until she told
him so this morning; he had been so
drunk.

Cummings was fined ten dollars and
given until pay day, Saturday, to pay
it. He appeared heartily ashamed OF
himself and Booze looked almost as il
he was loosing a disciple when Cum
mings left the room few PAGES behind
his aggrieved spouse.
J. X. Robinson, Hawaiian, was fined
81 and costs for hitting a Chinese
hackman with the butt of the Jehu's
own whip in lieu of paying him two
bits for taking him home yesterday
when he was drunk. Booze again, We

Nakani Okichi was given a good six
months behind the bars for shooting
blank-cartridge powder into the face
of another Japanese, little Fugi, who
lives on Pauahi street with his wife
and sister, the sister being the di-
vorced wife of the assailant. Defend
ant blamed it all on Booze, so he was
given six months where he would be
safe from the Arch-Villain's slick temp
tations. Defendant had gone to the
house of his ex-wife at an outrageous
hour and endeavored to force an en-
trance, and when the ex-wife's brother
opened the door the defendant filled
his cheek with powder, burning it bad
ly, from blank cartridges.
Booze expects to give further per-
formances. Notice later.

Clever ESSAY BY
JAPANESE GRADUATE

"a Hilo High School graduation ad-
dress by Futashi Arakawa.)
Every nation great in history has
risen to its proud eminence because OF
a mighty sentiment, planted deep in
the hearts of its people. And that
sentiment - love of country.
Lives there a man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land"
And should you ask me what is the
most distinguishing national trait of
the Japanese, l should say their love
of country. And that love is no blind
unreasoning devotion, but an intelli-
gent love which seeks to find out its
country's weakness that it may help
her to be strong.
Japan is an ancient civilization. She
has rapidly acquired the arts of west
ern nations because she possessed sure
foundation upon which to build, foun-
dations as old as Magma Charta which
were laid by sturdy ancestors centuries
ago. Many of the outward forms of
that ancient civilization now seem
grotesque beside the customs and man
ners of western people. But the Jap
anese have always believed that forms
are but the outward expression OF
deeper principles and as we brush
shoulders with western nations we
discard at every step our old conven-
tions, as easily as we change our straw
sandals. 1t is not the form of our

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, d. c., June "a -
For the first time in the course oil the
consideration Of the tariff bill In the
Senate. the Fianance Committee was
defeated when the question came up
Yesterday upon Senator Ialiaferro 3
amendment making the duty on pine
apples one-half of one per cent per
Mound and in bulk IS per thousand.
This amendment was adopted by
vote of "a yeas to so nays. The per-
sonality of Senator Taliaterro had
much to do with securing his victory,
large number of Republicans, some
of them members of the Finance Com
mittee voting with him. 1t is not
certain that his victory will be a per-
manent one as possibly the duty may
be scaled down in conference.
In discussing Senator Taliaferro's
amendment his colleague, Senator
Fletcher, gave some interesting statis-
tics regarding the cultivation of pine
apples.
His statement in part being as fol-
lows: l,s
Now Mr.. President, IN reference to
this question of the possibility that
the country would be without pine
apples some time in some period here
after, there never has been time but
once, 1 believe, in the last fifteen years
when pineapples were seriously hurt
in Florida, and that only in the nor
thern portion. PlneaDples are not
grown within $50 miles of the north
ern limit of our orange territory. The
east coast of Florida, 1 would have
the Senator from Indiana (Mr. Bever-
idge) understand, is 500 miles long.
There are 1900 miles of seacoast
about the State of Florida.
The east coast is, as 1 have said,
500 miles long and pineapples are
grown in the southern $50 of those
miles. They are grown also on the
west coast in the same latitude. While
this gentleman so testified, perhaps,
before the Committee on Ways and
Means, although it is perfectly we'll
recognized rule of law which ought
to obtain in any intelligent body,
that in order to be fair mans whole
statement should be furnished to the
Senate, not merely extracts from some
portions of his statement. Mr.. McMul-
len perhaps did not contemplate when
his testimony was given-I do not
know just when it was given, as quot
ed by the Senator-that, as the whole
country knows-and the Senate knows,
I take it-at an expense of perhaps
S15,OOO,00O a railroad is being built
to sea down the east coast of Florida,
and that railroad 1uns for 40 miles
across the Keys which are adapted
for pineapple growing. All that ter
ritory has been opened up within the
last few months.
But, Mr. President, insist that we
ought to consider the industry of a
State in this Union, be that State
North, South, East, or West; be it
outside the Republican territory or in
it; either State with a comparative
~ sparse population or a State with
q tremendous population. / would

CAUSE
THE FIRST DEFEAT OF
ALDRICH SCHEDULE

(Mr. Clark that Florida has eight
times more people than the State Of
Wyoming, although that State furn-
ishes the distinguished chairman of
the Judiciary Committee (Mr. Clark
and the distinguished chairman of the
Committee on Military Affairs (Mr.
Warren). / say is it not the proper
thing for us to consider an industry
in our own country, In a State OF
prior importance to the interests OF
those, even though they may have re-
moved from the United States, in a
foreign country? Is it not, further
more, craftsmanship, Is it not wis
dom, is not proper and right, that we
should consider the interest of our
possessions in the islands Of the sea
ahead of and before the interest OF
foreign countries? Have we not, as
mentioned by the Senator from New
Hampshire (Mr. GallingeD, done
enough for Cuba?
/ do not care to throw one single
stone at Cuba. I would see her pros
per. l would aid her and assist her
l would favor any sort Of proceeding
that might help that country to es-
tablish a government for all time
permanent and prosperous, put sub.
nit that not only should we discharge
our duty as to an industry of a State
of the Union, but our efforts are GER
tainly next to be enlisted in behalf or
our productions in Porto Rico and in
Hawaii. The Senator from Indiana
has entirely overlooked the POSSIBLE
tiles of Porto Rico.
Last season Porto Rico shipped into
this United States $4,000 crates of
pineapples. This season Porto Rico
will send to us 100000 crates. The in
dustry is developing at wonderful
rate in Porto Rico and it will not be
long before she can send us a million
crates just as well as not. So with
Hawaii the same thing is going on.
| say to the Senate here absolutely
that for ten months in the year Flo
rida can produce pineapples. 1t is
absurd to say that she can not have
any pineapples in the market in
March, April and May.
She can produce pineapples for ten
months in the year, practically every
month in the calendar; but Porto Ri
co can produce piueapples and have
them in the market certainly as soon
as Cuba. They have the same elm
attic conditions, and she can have her
pineapples Here as early as Cuba Is
it not worth while for us to keep Por-
to Rico in mind? If you want to ell
inmate Florida, then will say to
you. What about Porto Rico? If, for
some reason or other, you think the
industry is artificial in Florida, l ask
you, What about Porto Rico and what
about Hawaii? Porto Rico comes in
direct competition with Cuba. Porto
Rico can supply a million and half
pineapples in the next two years an
nually, and she can increase beyond
that. n
The Senator wants to know why
there has been this increase. Because
ten years ago the consumption in the
United States was about 100000 crates.
The consumption in the United
States today is over 100000 crates.

the Japanese for their loyalty to the
faith of their fathers? Or shall we
marvel that they saw in the arts of
the westerner something uncanny?
Need attitude of mind among the Budd-
hists of Japan surprise us when at
that very moment the good people OF
Salem were hanging men and women
for witch craft? The good people of
Japan like the good people of Massu-
chusetts were honestly living up to the
lights before them, and for their honest
though misguided devotion we respect
them.
Today all this is changed The Oc-
cidental travels at pleasure throughout
the length and breadth of Japan under
the guarantee of absolute protection
not only does he met with tolerence;
but with cordiality. He is invited at
every turn to reciprocate his knowl-
edge
This change from medieval to mo-
dern; this jumping over ten centuries
of development in one has naturally
been "A strain upon the Japanese peo-
pie. They have accomplished much
and they are conscious of their own
strength, but they have never been UNI
mindful of the gratitude they owe to
their Western teachers and they have
never failed to express it in the most
cordial language.
No one is fitted to acquire knowledge
until he knows his own ignorance.
When the light of the Western civil
cation broke upon Japan, she humbly
acknowledged her weaknesses and set
herself diligently to mend them. The
great world of western industry first
drew her She sought to make the
methods of Europeans and Americans
her own. She initiated the Occidental

at once: "She is mere imitator."
japan is an imitator She acknowl
edges without evasion her inability to
do in decades all that the Western ma
tions have done in centuries, but she
resents the little adjective with which
her critics seek to throw scorn upon
her. Japan is an imitator but she is
not q mere imitator. Did mere imita-
tors ever discover great truths in
science and in medicine? Did mere
imitators ever plan and successfully
execute great political and industrial
and social reforms? Did mere imita-
tors ever mark out vast military cam
paigns and then execute them with the
precision of machine? No, the Japa-
nese have their share of originality.
They are quick to initiate the great
achievements of their western brethren,
and they are quick to give them full
credit for what they borrow; but any
man who says that Japanese are mere
imitators" is blind to the history which
is before his eyes, blind to the great
achievements of the Yalu, and the
Tsushima, and to the fall Of Port Ar
thur which placed Japan in the front
rank of world powers
In taking her place in the sisterhood
of nations, Japan assumes all the duties
and obligations imposed upon her by
the rules of international law. She
also accepts those rights and privileges
which are accorded to her by the law
of nations and no right or privilege
