The Nippu Jill, the japanese organ
of the higher wage propagandists. is
adopting very bitter and incendiary
attitude in its campaign of agitation.
In its issue of Saturday last, in which
J. P. Cooke is dubbed an idiot and w.
o. Smith comes in for few verbal
bouquets of the same odor, for their
positions on the wage question, the
Jill publishes an article calculated to
bring about open trouble between the
plantation arrangements and the labor
ers. The article begins with a quota
ton from japanese patriotic poem
of revolutionary origin, of which the
following is a literal translation:
''To gain my end, to me my life is
nothing;
1 am content that my bones may be
buried in yonder green hill or in
the deep green sea;
Drinking red sake, | touch my sword
and coldly smile
And rush against my foe determined;
forward to fall I run!'
Following these lines, the inspira-
ton of which is known to all Japa-
Iitot. lH6 c4JA
SIN connection with this question
of higher wages every Japanese is ex-
pected to show a grim determination
and to be dominated with the spirit
that inspires the poem. If we are SO,
we will succeed in our righteous de-
mand.
"The overthrow of the Takugawa
regime and the restoration of the pres
ent dynasty was accomplished through
the determination of the people. TC

from the planters, with their seventy
millions Of capital and having within
their grasp the power over the Terri

On New Years day, Ikua Purdy. the
Hawaiian champion roper of the world,
defended the title he won at Cheyenne
last August, at a steer-roping contest
held at the Parker ranch Hawaii. the

boys of the Territory, competing against
about twenty-five of the best ropers
from the Parker ranch and surrounding
country.
The contest was held under Cheyenne
rules and Purdy roped and hogtied his
steer in forty-seven seconds. The steers
on the Parker ranch are noted for their
fieetness of foot and the swiftest ami
mails were secured for the contest The
steers were given sixty-fve feet run
ming start of the ropers. Purdy beat
his Cheyenne time by nine seconds. Ka-
maxi Lindsay of the Parker ranch won
second place in fftyseven seconds time.
One of the losing contestants wrote
a Honolulu friend:
"Luck was against me in the con-
test, and Champion Ikua maintained his
reputation, doing the trick in forty-seven
seconds. I had my bullock down on the
first bust but he got up just as I reach
ed him to tie. The next best time was
Kamaki Lindsay's fifty-seven seconds.
The bullocks were pretty speedy and
were evenly picked
Jack Low, who also participated in
the Cheyenne contest, recently received
letter from Prince Kalanianole, Dele
gate to Congress, acknowledging receipt
of letter and envelope containing a

REPORT THAT LANE WILL
Be NEW POSTMASTER

A report has been in circulation since
the arrival of the last mainland mail
to the effect that Delegate Kuhio has
definitely promised to recommend John
c. Lane for the Honolulu postmaster
ship soon to be vacant. There is no
confirmation of the rumor to be had, but
in Hawaiian circles the report is gen.
orally credited.
Mr. Lane is one of the very few Re-
publicans to be defeated in the recent
elections who has not government job,
while the strong support he gave dur.
ing the campaign to the Delegate, at
the expense it was complained of his
running mates on the municipal ticket,
gives him, in the estimation of the poll
tieians, strong claim upon the Wash
ington representative.

with the same spirit of self sacrifice
and chivalry towards the weaker ones.
we must fight against those who abuse
their power of money and political
sway. We must teach them a lesson
for the future. Unless the planters
raise the wages of the japanese labor
ers above $3.50 a month, we will
never yield
HThose japanese who do not agree
with us in our opinions and who will
not join US in our efforts to raise the

Making Other Threats.
This article, following the frebrand
speeches made at a recent meeting in
Makiki, at which open threats of vio-
lence were made against the conserva-
tive japanese of the city, shows the
extreme attitude taken by the leading
agitators in this wage dispute. 1t is
stated that some of the expressions in
the quoted article, in the original,
amount to practical threats of blood
shed.
At meeting at Moiliili on Satur-
day, over the tenement house question,
Negoro, the leading speaker, stated that
those japanese who were siding with
the whites in this matter were only
doing so to curry favor and were mere
tools for the whites. He said that IT
those who objected to the camps would
ask humbly enough the japanese might
listen to them. but that if they attempt
ed to legislate against the camps the
japanese would fight on the grounds OF
| their treaty rights.
'|The japanese do not wish to i've
| in cheap and dirty buildings he said,
sEbut are compelled to do so by the
greedy whites. who take all the benefits
Of the Japanese laborer and send US out
to work like slaves for the miserable
Dittance of sixtv-nine cents a day. That

most to blame. the one who has to live
