men who helped to make history there
are being torn down. the roads and

there win be nothing left to remind one

Do you suppose that such an organiza.

three young irresponsible American
Journalistic Let us reverse the case.
Let us imagine that large number
of Americans were in japanese employ
as laborers and that some 1000
of them were on strike. Would
the japanese police have allowed the
three imaginary American journalists
to establish reign of terror over
American citizens residing in Japan,
contrary to the laws of Japan? Could

say without fear of contradiction that
not one of the Objectionable features
of the strike movement as carried on
here under the guidance Of the Nippu
Jiji triumvirate would have been al.
lowed to make its appearance under the
japanese government. Strikes can not
be stopped by any government, but in
few countries in the wide world would
the methods followed by the self con.
stituted strike leaders here be allowed,

Boosting of the good fruit they have
borne plainly reveals the fact that
neither the proceedings in court nor
the attempted assassination of Mr..
Sheba has Il ught the Nippu Jill editors
anything. The paper has lived on agi-
tation for the past six months. APP.
parently it is determined to go on do
ing so, regardless of consequences
that are bound to follow.
] can imagine nothing more senseless,
nothing more calculated to injure the
interests of japanese residents here
than the adoption of the tactics fol.
lowed by the Nippu Jill. To go to a
foreign country and to strive TO the ut
most to stir up bad blood between
ones own nationality and the rulers
of that country would be regarded by
all men of sense as a suicidal policy.
One can not conceive of any Europeans
or any sensible japanese ever acting in
such manner. Yet this is just what
the Nippu Jill has been doing for
months past. In Japan, the paper
would have been suppressed. That is
quite sure. The violence it has encour-
aged would have made its issue impos-
sible under existing japanese press
laws. l commend these considerations
to all respectable Japanese residents
in the Territory of Hawaii.

JIJpS STAND UNTENABLE,
SAYS JAPANESE SCHOLAR

If anyone imagines that, influenced
by the proceedings in the Circuit Court
during the past fortnight and the at
tempt on Sheba's life, the triumvirate
who run the Nippu Jill have in any
way modified the tone of that paper,
leading article which appeared in
its issue of the 9TH inst. should suffice
to undeceive such a person. The arti-
Gle is entitled "The Good Effects of
the Strike" Without going into un.
necessary details, / will dot down the
benefits which the Jill suppUses to
have been derived from the strike:
G) The majority of the strikers
object to go back to the plantations
where they have hitherto worked. This
has shown the planters how determin-
ed japanese laborers are.
(2) The japanese residents in this
country have shown how they can
unite in fighting big battle against
the planters. The foreign community
have had an object lesson in japanese
solidarity.
(3) The strike movement has re.
midst "detestable traitors from whose
wicked devices we have all suffered
much. -
az The strike movement has fur.
thermore made it plain that we Japa.
nese as a body are capable of enter.
ing the lists against that formidable
body, the Planters Association. For
four long months we have set our.
selves in battle array against their
forces. We have never lowered our
colors nor has there been any disorder
in our ranks, Even the planters them
selves must in their heart of hearts
acknowledge that we have fought
nobly.
(5) The planters now know that
the japanese laborers are not to be
despised, that combined they are a
formidable body of men.
Coy Our laborers have had excellent
training in the art of holding together
the various units that have formed
part of big alliance.
To sum up, this strike movement has
taught us who are our friends and who
are our foes. 1t has taught capital
lists and labsrers that they can not act
| III ueNdHce VI each oJueT. IL Une
"planters' dog" party fancies that
our laborers are returning to work
Internationally they are greatly mis-.
taken.
Thus far the Jill. The fact is that
the boosted union of the Japanese la.
borers, having been secured by the
establishment of reign of terror, as
is plainly shown by the conspiracy
trial now going on and by other facts
reported in the papers, is just such a
union of sentiment and opinion as
existed in Japan under the Tokuga.

.O0WNIE Of AEON
FAME IS HERE

Captain Downie q the British S. s.
Century, now IN port, was the com.
mander Of the Inflated British s. s.
Aeon, which went ashore on Christmas
Island several months ago. The Cen
fury and Aeon were sister ships. aud
handsome vessels Of their class. The
only officers of the Aeon transferred
20 the Century when the latter vessel
was placed on the Aeon's run between
San Francisco and Australia were Cap
tain Downie and the first officer.
The Aeon went on the rocky outline
Of Christmas Island during a storm,
while en- route from san Francisco TO
the South seas. Aboard were several
officers Of the United States Navy and
their families, who were to be dropped
of at Pago Page, Samoa The officers,
passengers and crew managed 70 get
much Of the cargo OF the vessel and
prepare camps ashore. They lived well,
under the iron discipline Of Captain
DOwnie. A rescue was effected through
boats crew being sent away for
help. The boat, after passing through
strenuous trials, reached populated
island, and soon the cables had the
story Of the disaster.
Some Honolulans, acting in commune.
ton with Australian residents. bought
the wreck and sent a steamer after the
wrecked parts, but when they arrived
they found nothing. An expedition
was sent from Honolulu IN the Schooner
Concord, with Eben Low, now known
as the "Pirate Kid" in command. IT
was thought they would look over the
wreck and see wethcr It was worth
taking away from The lonely islct. The
Concord returned with several thou.

WOULD TREAT LABOR
BY SERF METHODS

SAN FRANCISCO, July l9.-To
treat the Hawaiian Islands as "trop.
zeal colony" to allow the American
capitalists to exploit the Asiatic labor
ers at their own sweet will-that is the
way to solve the race problem, accord.
ing to A. Monestier, editor of the Echo
de Chine, French paper published at
Shanghai. 1t is an extreme policy he
advocates and his ideas are interest.
ing.
1t is the race feeling, not the class
feeling that has given rise to the
troubles with the japanese in Hawaii,
says Monsieur Monestier. A blow Civ.
en- or wrong done to japanese
rouses the anger of his countrymen.
90 The fact is that the japanese are
not willing to be treated as an inferior
race he says, :" especially since their
victory over the Russians. Moreover,
feeling that they dominate The labor
market, they act the matador, are in
solent and undisciplined and always
ready to quarrel with their masters.
Then there is that youthful vanity
which is a Characteristic of their .hce
and of which we have often had mani.
festatiOns, Besides it must oa aiken
into account that the recent immigrants
are not the ignorant peasants of for.
mer days,
MANY Of them are educated and
know of socialism. Recently they have
organized higher wage association,
and that association has been response.
BILE for the recent troubles,

their mind to treat these islands as a
tropical colony and TO exploit them
simply for the beneat Of the white CAPT

UCHIYAMA PLEADS NOT
GUILTY TO INDICTMENT

There is apparently only one lawyer
in Hawaii now for the japanese who
are arrested on charges growing out Of
acts committed in connection with the
strike. When the case of Uchiyama,
accused of having returned to Editor
Sheba a bundle of copies Of the Shinpo
with scurrilous matter written on the
outside, appeared before Judge Dole
and Judge Woodruff yesterday morning
to plead to the Indictment, he was rep.
resented by j. Lightfoot
The charge was read TO Uchiyama
and he entered a plea Of not guilty.
Mr.. Lightfoot moved that, on account
of the numerous cases in which he is
engaged up stairs, the trial of the
prisoner at the bar go over uctil the
October term of the court. United
States District Attorney Breckons OBJ
jected to this, saying that the prosecu'
tion was ready to proceed to trial, Light
foot pleaded that he was so overworked
that he really must have some chance
to rest. AS compromise the Judge
fixed September 9 as the date upon
which to set the case for trial,
The prosecution was greatly aston
ished at the verdict of the jury Friday
in the case of Nakamura, charged with
importing women. The United States
District Attorney was COZ 6dent of OBJ.
tanning conviction. But he is not
through yet. Yesterday he swOre to a
warrant for the arrest Of Nakamura on
the charge of perjury, and he states
that he has half dozen other charges
of n serious nature which can be made
against the man. So there is plenty
of trouble yet in sight for Nakamura.

KAEA HANDLES
THE DICE AGAIN
lFrom Monday. Advertisorj


When the campaign was on last year
and the Republican convention was In
full swing, the party was rent from
top to bottom by the dispute as to
whether or not George Kaea, who had
been selected by the Fifth District,
was to be allowed to run for the Legis-
lature. The selection made by the way,
when most of the conyentioners were
asleep in the early hours of an all night
session. The charge against Kaea was
that he was a crap shooter and a pro-
fessional gambler. Kaea was finally
removed from the ticket, although he
protested that he had reformed and
was doing no more gambling. His name
had appeared frequently on the police
station blotter, generally for ell"
Yesterday afternoon Kaea took part
in crap game on the Channel wharf.
The players had opened the heavy door
leading into one of the fumigating
chambers, and there, on the dusty floor
rolled the bones to their heart 5 de
light, secure in the thought that police
officers could not very well interfere
with them in that secluded spot. Kaea
appeared to be the leader in the move
ment. A special officer did appear OF
the scene however, just as Kaea wal
in the act of leaning over to throw the
dice, after depositing a half dollar in
the space around which the players
squatted.
Kaea hates to face the police court
judge for he knows that he will be
given a stiff sentence. The police know
that Kaea generally forfeits his bal
and for that reason he is compelled
to put up $25. His reform" did moi
! last very long
