CLERGYMAN SAYS HAWAII is
ALMOST SAVAGE COUNTRY

In the Tacoma Ledger of August
appears an interview, given below in
full, with the Rev. H. H. Chaplain, who
was recently in these Islands. 1t will
be noticed that he formed numerous
marvellous opinions while here, or drew
largely on his imagination when being
interviewed. The Rev. Mr.. Chaplain is
immortalized in the Ledger as follows:
A mixture of races such as would
be looked upon>as a horror in the United
States is a matter of little concern to
residents of Hawaii, - said Rev. Horace
II. Chaplain of Trinity Episcopal Church
to the Ledger upon his return from a
six weeks tour of the Hawaiian Is
lands. "Hawaiians think nothing of
intermarriage among natives of all
Taces-Chinese, Japanese, Portuguese
English and American-and the queer.
est thing about it is that such inter.
marriage of races does not change the
social positions of the contracting par.
ties at all. In the city of Honolulu
out of population of 10000 there are
only 5000 white people, the bulk of the
population being composed of japanese
and Chinese"
