THAT there is a sufficient supply of labor, and
that the plantation hands are working well, and
are apparently contented
! Mr.. Ivers is also quoted as saying that the
Filpinos are greatly inferior to the japanese
/ ls aborers and his opinion is here To be given
full weight On the other hand, the Filipnos
are regarded as a needed balance to Japanese
numbers and influence, the plain truth being
that the planters welcome the Filipinos very
largely because their numbers offset the present
large japanese population. 1t is with no sng-
g,.stion Of racial feeling that the statement may
be allowed that no one alien nationality should
be given overwhelming preponderance in Ha-
waiian industry. Mr. Ivers himself is credited
with an article written for special edition of a
mainland paper that Filipino immigration Is
the hope for a future labor supply in Hawaii.
To come down to the efficiency of the Fill
pinos, it is generally taken for granted that they
are inferior to the japanese as plantation labor
ers In recent months, however, the planters,
labor bureau has been bringing in laborers Of
good physique and undOubted intelligence, and
on one of the plantations of this island, the Fill
Pine is said to be performing satisfactorily prac
tically all of the labor involved, from the plant
ing of cane to it's harvesting and transportation
to the factory.
The stronghold of the japanese has been in
the mills, but latterly the Filipinos are doing
mill-work in increasing numbers. No planta
ton will probably ever again suffer the expert
ence of Kahuku, in 1909, when the Japanese
millhands walked out at midnight, leaving
everything running full blast, and the factory
in imminent danger of complete ruin
Offsetting the danger of Filipinos from the
standpoint of mere numbers, the territorial
board of immigration will continue the intro
duction of Portuguese and Spanish, who are de-
sirable as plantation hands and as future citi-
zens of the territory With two stable sources
of supply, and the incoming laborers proving
their fitness for plantation work, the labor sit
uation, from the plantation standpoint, does not
strike the unprejudiced observer as serious, In
fact, it offers distinctly bright side when the
fact is taken into consideration that Hawaii
may have to meet moderate revision of the tar
iff with the closest economy in sugar produc-
ton.

IN MEXICO.

The defeat of General Orozcos forces
at Bachimba undoubtedly means the
collapse of the revolution as an Or
ganized movement. Whether the rebel
leader will retreat into the hills with
what following he retains and there
keep up a harassing guerrilla warfare
remains TO be seen. Probably he will
do so, but the lack of ammunition and
the means of obtaining supplies must
in the end accomplish his downfall.
President Madero will now have an
opportunity to demonstrate what ca
pacity for real craftsmanship he pos
sesses 1t is not, of course, to be ex-
pected that such reconstruction as Mex
leo needs can be worked out in month
or two, or even in. year. But at
least Madero will have a free hand to
carry out his policies, which he has
not had while the revolution was in
progress. -. :.
There are many uncertainties yet be-
fore the Mexican people, and probably
some troubles But at least it seems
now to be fairly assured that for some
time to come the present government
will be allowed to proceed with it's
program unhampered by serious revo-
lutionary disturbances.-San Francisco

THE OPPORTUNITY is HERE ,s -.

From the stage of inactiOn, the Republicans
are passing rapidly to action. Robert w. Shin
gle has been approached and sounded on the pos
sibility of his becoming a candidate for delegate
to congress. Coincidently there is a movement
to urge Kuhio for mayor, if the delegate will not
insist carrying further his bitter fight against
the governor.
The Republican precinct club nominations
last night showed two things plainly The
party is fast awakening to the necessity for
unity as the basis of progress, and interest in
the nominations, though late in stirring, was
considerable on the last day. The other thing
proved is that a great number of the men
aligned with KuhO in the past are no longer
able to follow him. This is the reason for the
unexpected lack of opposing tickets in the clubs.
The situation furnishes an extraordinary OPP
portunity for the man who can. be united upon
as a leader. Past differences may we'll be for
gotten Past defeats or victories should not
rankle longer.
The Shingle Kuhio ticket undoubtedly
would be remarkably strong one The Star
be secured, but it does know that the develop
ments Of the past few hours afford indications
of happy compromise, and Delegate Kuhio
may well see that the majority of those who have
supported him loyalty in the past cannot sin
cerely go where he is going.
The elements of honorable truce are here.
What is to be made of them?

THE BULL MOOSE PARTY,

Any political party. and Mr. Roose-
velt's Bull Moose Party is no excep-
ton, must have two thfngs-a justi-
ication for its existence, and funds.
The ostensible reason for putting Mr.
Roosevelt into the field as a candidate
is the theft OF his delegates at Chi
cago. He bolted for that reason But
this Justification is destroyed by the
facts. There was no thievery, me
Colonel was not cheated Three Taft
delegates from Massachusetts have
made a statement to the Republican
voters of that State, in which they
review with knowledge and candor the
history of the contest cases. They point
out that the chairman's rulings per-
hitting delegates whose seats were
contested TO vote on all cases save
their own were sustained by innumer-
able precedents. Mr.. Roosevelt was
ninety votes short of majority, and
he promptly set up ninety-two contest
cases. But the committee on creden-
tialS, of which thirteen Roosevelt men
were members, unanimously reported
in favor of four Taft delegates ut
large from Georgia and two Taft dele
gates from the Fifth Louisiana Dis
trict. There could have been no fraud
tives in the committee would have OBJ
jected This was enough TO reduce the
total possible Roosevelt vote in the
convention below majority Some of
the Roosevelt men voted to seat the
two Taft delegates in the Ninth Ala
bama District, and on the rollcall, when
the report of the committee was sp-
proved by sos affirmative votes, some
forty or fifty Roosevelt delegates must
have voted against the theft theory,
The cry of fraud is a mere false ira
tense, there is nothing in it.
The need of money for the new party,
is even more urgent than the need of
a Justification. The old parties are
organized throughout the country Gown
to the smallest political divisions: All
they need for the campaign is sufti-
cient funds for the service of head
quarters, for the distribution of tlocu-
meHts, and the payment of speakers.
But the Bull Moose Party must create
an organization in every State. That
is a gigantic undertaking, for which.
probably four or five million dollars
would be required. Who will put up
the money? The highly disinterested
gentlemen who provided funds for the
ColonePs primary campaign and for his
dash to Chicago may still be long of
cash, for they are rich, but we imagine
they are somewhat short of enthu-
siasm. The investment does not look
promising.

THE NEXT STAGE

The Dominion of Canada was q small
domain when it was constituted in
1867, compared with what it is now.
The four provinces were computed to
have an area of about 100000 square
miles. which is somewhat greater than
that of British Columbia and much
less than the existing province of Que
bee But. the original plan provided
for the completion of the union of Brit
iSh North America by all the subse-
quent additions. The undertaking of
1867 will not be fully accomplished un-
til Newfoundland is included in the
dominion This may be long delayed

LABOR pESSIMISM AND OPTIMISM.

Taking the comment of practical plantation
men, the labor situation in the territory is not
particularly serious, and the Star Bulletin be-
lieyes that even with Russian immigration
stopped the sugar properties will not be under
manned ~ gS
Mr. Richard Ivers is quoted as testifying be-
fore a tax appeal board that the labor situation
is serious. Against this there is an unmis
taxable optimistic note voiced by plantation
managers themselves Giving due weight to Mr.
Ivers as an experienced plantation director, it
NAV be pointed out that his testimony applies
more to the increasing cost of labor than to the
ability and efficiency of the labor itself, or to the
more advantageous position in which the terri
tory finds itself in respect to a steady and re
liable plantation force.
Mr. Ivers, it has been mentioned, desired a
reduction in the tax valuation of the plantations
he was representing, and brought forth good ar
guments to show that the probable earning ca
nacity of the plantation would be smaller than
claimed by the assessor. There is no question
as To the material increase in the cost of labor
IN recent wears, due to various increases in
wages and bonuses put into operation by the
nlantations But, if general expressions OF
on;nion are of value, if the statements of the
nlantation managers are to be relied upon, the
Iabor situation on the plantations has rarely
baan better than at the present time. Inquiry
does not reveal shortage of labor on any of the
plantations, but, on the other hand, it appears

NO THIRD PARTY
SAYS ]. I. MOIR

That there will be no Third party
formed is the opinion of John T. Moir
who returned yesterday from. the
mainland where he went to attend the
Republican convention.

points to the fight being between Taft
and Wilson. The attack maze during
the convention was a most bitter one

for the men to cool down and for
things to be adjusted again.
"The nomination of Wilson at the
Democratic convention seems to have
given general satisfaction all around.
1t is of course impossible at the pres
ent time to forecast anything as to
who is likely to win in the battle be-
tween Taft and Wilson. Everything
is up in the air and since the nomina-
tics neither of the cadidates have
made any move"
Moir says that the scene at the con-
ventfon was wonderful. There were
between twelve and fourteen thou
sand people in the building. Two hours
before the convention opened the big
brass band started playing and a
special singer rendering songs. Dur
ing the time the eredential committee
were making their reports to the con-
vention Their was all sorts of fun NOV
ing. On one occasion Southerner
caught Chairman Roots eye and rails
ed a point of order.
MIR. Chairman he said, g | think
that the steam roller is exceeding
the speed limit
L quite agree with the gentleman"
said the chairman and the cheering
was kept up for half an hour.
Moir states that the only way TO
stop the delegates cheering was to
start the band playing the loudest
march music it could. After half an
hour or so, states the returned dele
gate with a twinkle in his eye, the
band generally won out-Hawaii Her.

WILSON 8
From the San Francisco Bulletin, the
paper edited by Fremont Older, the So
.licitous and devoted champion of Abe
Ruefs appeal for release from prison,
we quote;
"The people must decide whether they
shall rely on Governor Wilson's per-
sonal progressivism and his skill as a
leader to force progressive measures
down the throats of reactiohary poll
ticians to whom he owes allegiance, or
give their support to Colonel Roosevelt
with the assurance that both the lead
er and his army will be conseerated to
the peoples cause"
