LUTTED REPLIES
To CAPT. MATSON

Editor Advertiser:-My attention was
called to ar article in your issue of Octo,
Der 6. headed "'To Whom 1t May Con
Germ, - and signed by VIM. Matson. As
the article is quite voluminous, IN order
to save space and time | will only take
up such portions as | deem pertinent
on the occasion to bring this before
the public without any desire on my
part 10 garble or change the article in
question.
Regarding mlsTepre sentatlons made
by me IN exploiting and selling my oil
stock. having particular reference to
an advertisement appearing in The
Commercial Advertiser of August 30,
1910, in which a business man of this
city was said to have bought some
Lakeyiew No. oil stock About five
weeks later | met this gentleman on
the street He asked me if the stock
was the same price. | told him 1t was.
He ordered mores stock and gave me
a check. at the same time telling me
that he had written to a friend in San
Francisco telling him he had bought
some Lakeview No. oil stock and ask
ing him TO investigate and find out If
it was any good and to see Captain
Matson The fact that he then bought
more stock and has\since bought third
lot of stockholm times without any
solicitation on my part-caused me to
insert an advertisement covering the
transaction.
Whether the friend called on Captain
Matson / can I say | fail to see where
can be charged with any Justification
in the matter. I am not aware of hay
ing had occasion to use Captain Mat
son 5 name in boosting or selling my
stock Having lived in Honolulu for
twelve years 7 consider my identity and
standing pretty wei established.
Quoting from your paper: "The

Weekly Review Of Current japanese Thought
BY s. SHEBA

Although there yet remains a dot
here and dot there of dark, uncertain
clouds which may bring storm. the
general outlook is for calm and peace
among the Japanese. The bonus ques-
ton which has been agltating some
plantation japanese seems as if passing
away without bringing general cry for
readjustment Of wage scale This is
OWING partly to the fact that most
plantations are according better treat
ment to oar laborers i'll spite of few
exceptions.
The readiness with which large cor
poratlons have extended their sympathy
toward Us 10y way Of large subscrip-
tIons toward the Flood Relief Fund
made a very good impression upon the
rank and file Of cur countryman, es-
peclally those who come from the suf-
fering districts. The givers as well as
the receivers of The gifts are to be con
graduated. for, while the latter receive
material help in their dire distress the
former are not only storing treasures in
heaven but Will reap the benefit of their
benevolence IN more tangible form.
The event viii show how necessary
and valuable are the perfect under
standings which viii bring sympathy
and mutual helpfuIness between the two
races which represent capital and labor
in this Territory. Each should know
what the other is thinking, wanting
aspiring to do. or Clicking about, - so
to meet the wishes, if deemed proper.
or, to prepare for troubles. The pur-
pose of this column is to present before
the American public mirror of .Japa-
nese thought as il reflects upon it from
time to time in order to cultivate bet
ter understanding upon which must de-
pend mutual friendliness, helpfulness,
ana peace
The first reflection. that of the calam-
ity stricken japanese at home, was
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1910-10-09

wiped clean through the charity Of the
local American friends. The next,
hope, will be something in the nature
of expressing our gratitude for their
kindness.
Among the japanese themselves
there prevails harmony. The election
of the Benevolent society. which in
spite Of the nature Of the work ear
ried IN its name often brought about
storms at the election of officers in the
past. passed peacefully with very en-
couraging report Of the secretary.
The farewell banquet given accord
ing to japanese custom by Mr. Shimid-
III, Japanese interpreter at Naipahu,
who through his moral courage shown
during the troublous days last year
brought the curse Of his opponents and
has undergone the humility Of being
called dog and ''tra tor. was
largely attended, there being nearly
four hundred people including his for
mer enemies. 1t indicates how readily
we throw off old enmities once strife is
over and question is settled, and is a
straw to show which way the wind is
blowing.
1t is reported that Consul General
Uyeno Will before long despatch one of
his secretaries on tour of inspection
of the conditions of Japanese on plan
taAons. Mr.. Akai, the local manager
of the Yokohama Specie Bank, will
also make a visit to the Big Island in
the near future.
Local japanese will enter their holt
dav season much earlier this year than
in the past, owing to the visit on No
vember , of two japanese cruisers
composing a training squadron. On the
day following their arrival falls the
Emperor's birthday which is yearly
celebrated everywhere where are found
his subjects. Already preparations are
beng made here and elsewhere all over
the Islands for big celebrations. The
day for our iollifcation this year is
looked for with much expectancy

has the right to handle the same to
his own best interest. but if there are
any stipulations or reservations they
should be embodied in the contract. |
consider this section right in the heart
of the oil belt and worth at least a
million and a half dollars more than
when sold to Chas. F. Off six months
ago.
From the foregoing it will be seen
that the Lakeview No. Oil Company
Is operating under a suitcase of a lease
taken from the Lakeview Oil Company
of Midway and as the royalty to the
Lakeview Oil Company of Midway is
1912 per cent of the total production.
Presumably the Lakeview No. Oil
Company will also have to pay an add
tional royalty 10 the original lessees as
above indicated
Ia replying to the above I regret to
think that Captain Matson in assuming
to correct me for presumiug to use his
name IN my advertisement, presumes in
the above article on the additional
royalty the Lakevjew No. , Oil Com
pany viii have to pay to the original
lessees In order to make the matter
plain to our people I viii quote from
a letter received from the Lakeview
No. Oil Company under date of Au-
gust Il. 1910 which says in regard to
the eighty acres which the Lakeview
No. controls: cit is not a fact that
they own the property. but that they
have lease for twenty years on same
at 1-6 ROYALTY with an option to pur
chase at $500 per acre, namely $50 per
acre has already been paid, and wish
to say that we are very fortunate in
getting such low price on this land.
as there is nothing joining us that can
be purchased for less than $500 per
acre.
As regards my -etter of June 20,
1910. to Captain Matson stating I was
a stakeholder in Lakeview No. and
asking him to endorse with a personal
letter my exploitation of stock for said
company in Honolulu. and which he
declined to do, refusing to lend his
name for any such purpose, naturally
very indignant at the suggestion and
also annoyed at the action of Mr.. OFF
and his associates in suhleasing the
southwest quarter section-in reply [
fail to see why there should be any
objection from Captain Matson to my
request. It is simply courtesy from
one gentleman to another. and particu-
larry from Captain Matson who former
" owned this property.
IF Captain Matson feeels disappoint-
ed at the price, $1,000 per acre. which
he received for section IS from Chas.
f. Of and his associates. | fail to see
why it should effect me personally.
I'm conclusion I wish to say that the
advertisements which have appeared
over Nh Matsou 5 signature in The
Star. Bulletin and Advertiser display
an animus against Charles F. Off and
his associates which | consider uniusti-
fable and unealled for as applied to the

The address Of Congressman NC
Klnlay last night was q model OF
what every political address should
be. He INDUCED in no abuse and ne
discussed principles. He made the
financial end OF his talk, which 10
10 often a dreary conglomeration OF
figures that confuses the audience,
30 clear and so plain that q child
could understand 1t and the hearers
liked 1t. Men who have studied the
tariff for years said they never had

as he made.
To Kansas which must prosper
only in one way-by having q home
market to which to sell It's abundance
Of crop products--its logic was ir-
resistable. To raise crops and then
find no one to buy them at a profit
table price means bankruptcy as sure
" as to raise none at all. To offset
the shortening Of our foreign market
for the things we raise in this state
we must have home market and
we must have a home market and a.
IL the thing that every Kansan should
desire.
That the present congress and
Taft's administration has done this
ID admitted and It is difficult to see
what reasoning can be produced that
would favor making change in
either legislative or executive meth
DDS. The self styled reformers who
are declaring that they are against
Taft and against protection may suit
those who have nothing to sell but
they do not appeal to the men who
must sell what they raise in order to
make Q living for themselves and
their families.
