Of
BIRTH ISSUED
Registration of Japanese and
Chinese Born Here Is
Enormous.

Evidence of the large number of ia,
panese and Chinese who may within the
next few years become citizens of the
United States and demand the voting
franchise, because they were born in
these Islands, has been gathered by Sec
rotary of the Territory T. A. Mott
Smith. He has, during the two years
ending December 81, issued total of
nine hundred and thirty certificates of
Hawaiian birth through his office. OF
this number 1871 were issued to minors
and 1f3 to adults of the Chinese and
japanese races. The Secretary has beer
compelled to give a great deal of his
time to this work, and the results are
apparent.
Although the registration of birth in
the Islands does not make these people
citizens of the United States or the Ter
ritory, it is accepted as prima facIe
evidence that would eventually make
them citizens. 1t is a startling fact
that, out of the 1893 births in the Ter
,ritory during the year ending June 80
| 1908, as shown by the Board of HEALTH
l. records, 2445, or more than half, were
japanese. There were 3SS Chinese
births during that period
The total number of pupils in tn.
public schools during the year ending
June 30, 1908, was 23,445, and of thi.
number 5515 were japanese, or NOR,
| than any other one nationality In tn,
schools, too, the Chinese seem to be abb,
to hold their own pretty well, there be
ing 1896 registered
| The reason for the great leap in tn,
number Of japanese who received Ha
waiian birth certificates during the yea
of 1908, as compared with the previou
year, is ascribed by Acting Governo
Mott-Smith to the new policy adopted
of late by Japan, restricting fmmigra
ton. The total number of Japanes
who were registered in 1907 was is
while statistics have been compile,
| showing that in 1908 this number ha
been increased to 404. The Chimes
increased from 166 birth certificate
issued in 1907 to 342 in 1908 At thi
rate of increase, TAG per year-th
question may very properly be aske
as to who will be the voters in this Tel
ritory in the next twenty years.
Mott-Smith states that he does no
expect any diminution in the numbe
of birth certificates he will issue thi
year, and figures that there will be a
least 700 Chinese and japanese, con
bined, who will receive the slips cert
flying to their Hawaiian birth.

than did her successor. Miss Ida st.
Lean. she was deserving of all the
praise which the eastern public gave
her. Sweet and charming, Polly con-
trolied her audience at all stages of
the game. and her acting through the
whole show was of higher order
than has been seen i'm Missoula in
many a day.
Earl Ryder, as the REV. John Doug
lass" upheld his part of the play in
line shape, as did, In fact, every mem.
Der of the cast
Uncle Toby" the old clown, made n
strong impression on his audience, ana
Harry Lane. the man who carried the
part. won lot of we'll deserved an
piause In his scene.
The scenery was another strong fen
tnre In the plays success The circus
tent was one of the most realistic hits
OF the stage decorators art which has
ever been shown here. Clowns. tum-
oiers and acrohats with their animals
ana equipment gave the big circus
scene an atmosphere, and the whole
,hing was brought to a climax I'm the
