the ruling of Judge De Bolt that the
articles in the Jiji, in themselves con-
stitute disorderly conduct and breach
of the peace, is given below the edi-
torial that was going to press at the
time Mr.. Sega was arrested, and which
appeared in the Jill on Thursday.
This editorial shows how thoroughly
saturated the adherents of the Higher
Wage Association are with the idea
that they are going to run things in
Hawaii to suit themselves. In spite of
arrests and the admonition of the court,
and milder treatment, the Jill renews
defantly its admonition to its follow

lowers. 1t is fortunate that the author
titles have shown themselves able to
cope with the insolence and high hand
ed disregard of law back of this whole
movement. The Jill article is:
''Four thousand japanese of the
three plantations, Aiea, WaiaIua and
Kahuku, have left the plantation with
their children, These japanese were
sacrificed but their determination is
strong and they will never yield unless
| they attain their object. The problem

food supply. To make the obstinate and
blind planters reflect upon themselves
and to exterminate Sometaro Sheba,
the traitor, and his followers, we must
prepare for sustenance for longer

martyr strikers, so that they need not

Negoro's Plans.
i Among Negoro s papers, in his own
handwriting, are some documents con
sidered as highly important evidence
by the authorities. His plan, according
to his notes, is to collect money for the
defense of such men as Sogoro, whom
he styles ga Martyr and adds: elf
one martyr should appear, the members
shall unite and cause the planters to
repent their wrong actions.''
Other items of his strike plans were
to collect money to bail out the mar
tyrs and to provide attorneys for them
land to provide jobs for strike helpers
He proposed to ostracise socially the
sycophants of the planters and to
start strikes alternately on the differ
ent plantations.
The foregoing is considered extreme
ly valuable and significant by the au
thorities, as it is deemed that the plar
to ostraeise by combination and actua
, agreement the so-called sycophants Of
the planters is in itself unlawful anC
constitutes a conspiracy to commit anc
