THE Hawaiian people are proud,f their
American citizenship" said CO sam
Parker, Of Honolulu. at the Arlington.
last night Col. Parker, who was he last
prime minister Of the kingdom Of Hawaii
under Queen LilioukaIani IS fulbloOd-
ed native Of those islands, and / over
six feet tall. and, notwithstandip his
great age, is as strong and alert vs. a
man many years his junior. Col Poker
said: 1--WE are not afraid Of the Japaese
in Hawaii-there IS no reason why I'VE
should be- They are good and law-abicpg
inhabitants. thrifty and progressive. ne
islands could hardly get along Withqt
them. The sugar planters could not pr~
duce their crops. and that would spa
ruin for our country. II is true the Japa
nese are all abIe-bodied men and coull
give a good account Of themselves in g
fight But they have been with US many
years before we were annexed 70 the
United States and helped US along IN
every way
Hawaii is just as much part OF the
United States as California or New York
or any other part Of the Union. II the
Japs should ever be foolish enough to at
tack Hawaii. they would be attacking
the whole United States, and they have
too much good sense TO do that. Besides.
Uncle sam is putting Honolulu and other
places in a fine condition. Strong fortifi-
cations are being put up and il would
indeed be foolhardy for any nation 10
try conclusions with the United States
anywhere
'The japanese have their peCuliarites.
like all other people They are great con-
sumerS OF rice. and there IS lots Of rice
grown in Hawaii. The japanese. how
ever. would not, under any circumstances,
purchase their rice in Hawaii They
claim it is not good; they claim that the
Chinese, who are the principal rice plant
ers. do not know their business. The
japanese prefer TO pay a higher price
for the product Of their native country,
plus the tariff"
Speaking Of President Taft's admins
tration, the old Hawaiian statesman said
that the President had made himself
very popular with the people OF the
islands by appointing three Judges whose
candidatUre had been Endorsed by the
Bar Association Of Hawaii. and car
ried therefore the Endorsement Of the
