McCandless declares that he, and not
the territory, is the owner of 1872
acres of land at Waholoa, Waimalu,
over which litigation has been started

,Attorney-genera Stainback has filed
in court, on behalf of the territory, Il
suit for ejectment, McCandless being
named as the respondent. The suit
alleges that the land is the property
of the territory and that, during the
last eight years, McCandless has I'M
lawfully been leasing it to Japanese
on share and share basis. The terri
tory asks that it recover the land and
receive $3.50 as damage done to the

Your Excellency:
| Il take much pleasure in giving you
the information which you requested
of me in your recent communication.
In the commonwealth of Massa-
chusetts, members of the National
Guard are frequently elected, and
serve, as members of the Massachu-
sets legislature; indeed. the commit
tee on military affairs Of the legisla-
ture is usually composed of several
members of the National Guard. Dur.
ing my terms of office as governor, /
recall in particular that the floor lead
er of the majority party was com
manding officer Of the Field Artillery
branch of the National Guard. ! also
know several members of the judici-t
airy, and particularly the municipal
court judges, who are members OF. the
National Guard. The colonel Of one OF
the infantry regiments is a justice Of
one of the municipal courts OF the
city of Boston. ..a:.
Many similar instances might be
cited. / have never heard any obJec.'
ton made to members of the Nation
al Guard serving as members OF the
legislature or in the judiciary. On the
contrary, / think it has worked very
satisfactorily. and has been of con-
siderable advantage to the state to-
have members of the National Guard
serve IN the legislature, where .ques-
tons relating 10 that branch of the
government service are presented by
men intimately acquainted with their
problems. ......:.... .. -. - ~

Emperor Signs Bill: Sew in
Hawaii Will Swear BY
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Especial Gable to Nippu Jill

TOXIC, Japan, March 1S.-The
measure which was recently passed
IN the Japanese Diet TO do away with
the double nationality question has
been signed by Emperor Yoshihito,
and will go into effect on June / The
government has issued a bulletin stat.
ing that all Japanese who were born
in a foreign country may announce at
the. aga of - years whether or not
they wish TO become Japanese sub
iects. M .--s.
THE recent law passed in Japan will
be welcome among the japanese in
Hawaii said K Kawamura, city edit
or OF the Nippu Jill today. The law
states that the young man must de-
clare his intention at the age of 10
years and must have the consent Of
his parents.
When asked whether or not the fact
that many of the parents were born in
Japan would lead them to urge the
young man to claim allegiance to
Japan, Mr. Kawamura said:
Times Have Changed. .=s.
THAT perhaps world be the first I'm
preston. but il is far from the cor
rect one. Fifteen years ago this
might have been true, but at the pres.
ent time Japanese who are now living
in Hawaii intend to make their homes
here, and am certain that all Japan
csc children born in this territory will
be urged to claim the United States
as their own country.
Years ago the japanese who came
70 Hawaii often. returned TO Japan
with their savings. but you do not find
this condition today. The japanese
here have built homes, have educated
their children in the public schools
and many have adopted the ideas of
the Americans
Thousands Loyal to US.
Il coald not cite single case where
the young men born in Hawaii will be
urged to claim allegiance to Japan.
The Japanese have their. homes, their
social organizations here, and they are
playing a big part in the development
of Hawaii. When this law goes into
effect. you will find thousands of
young Japanese announcing that they
wish to become citizens under the
Star-Spangled Banner.
This is certain. and the mothers
and fathers are looking ahead TO this
point. They live here. enjoying the
blessings of Hawaii. and they intend
to die here. You can safely say that
there will be very few. Japanese who
viii not take advantage of tho law to |
renounce the double nationality and

more may be voters. This is some

even better, having certain warmth

FROM THE PEOPLE

Editor the Beacon:
Well, the strike is settled. We had
inside information days ago that it
would be. Had it not been an election
year it would have been settled much
sooner. But the big interests that are
fighting Wilson urged the rail heads
on and they made the strongest bluff
they dared. We have good reasons to
believe that Chicago, which sometimes
goes over hundred thousand Republi-
can majority, will so for Wilson by
from 80 to so thousand; this effect due
to the labor vote which is tremendous.
John Sharp Williams interview in
which he said he just knew, just felt
there would be no strike, though his
intellect did not tell him so, sized up
the situation. There were any num-
ber Of reasons for thinking the strike
would come, and yet positive convic-
tion that it would not. 1t was tre-
mendous moral victory for Wilson.

Mr.. Cochr an, our chief, was telling
me the other day about Senator Will

cloak rooms that he is speaking all get
up and go in to hear. He praises the
senator's ability extravagantly, but it
is deserved. Sometimes MIR. Williams,
when Republican is speaking, will
come to the senate chamber door, put
his hand UP to his ear and listen for q
