BIS cArsE on DIsAProINTMENT.


Announcement by a Japanese writer who recently
visited here that ne considers the condition of Ha
Faiianborn japanese worthless and hopeless may
Be taken as fairly good proof that the process Of
Amerieanization in these islands is making steady
progress. Ii may he taken with satisfaction in.
stead of with uneasiness by Americans.
The disappointment which this writer. kazan IA.
yahara, manifests is the disappointment of a man
who obviously thinks that the Hawaiian born Japa
nese found here in 1916 should be either thoroughly
Japanese or thoroughly American. Such was the
tenor of his utterances while here and such is the
tenor in the announcement he made on reaching San
Francisco.
The fact that he sees no future" for the Hawaii
anborn japanese Japanese is proof of the sound
ness OF Hawais position with reference to the edu.
cation and training of children of alien blood born
here. 1t is proof that the second generation breaks
away from Japanees traditions ideals and allegi.
nnces TO that extent it is proof that the process
Of Amerieanization is begun.
No student of ethnology and sociology could sin.
cerey expect that overnight Hawaii could assmiate
al alien population several times that of the white
and Hawaiian population; that overnight Hawaii
could turn these aliens into American citizens as
American citizens by long inheritance understand
the term
Kazan Kayaharas disappointment appears to be
that Of man who hoped the Japanese born here
would grow up as Japanese subjects instead of as
citizens pledged to the American republic by birth
right citizens feeling their way toward its re,
publican institutions by the somewhat slow but sure
process Of study, training, ambition and moulding
environment.
The future of the Hawaiian-born japanese is
worthless and hopeless" only if they refuse to
cept the duties and responsibilities of American ct
zens Industrally, the future is bright indeed, for
they are faring infinitely better in labor and bust
ness here than they could in Japan 1t is to theii
material interest to be American citizens and the
third and fourth generations will disappoint tn,
writer Kasahara even more than the second whicI
he studied here

LETTERS
ABOUT THE WATER RATES

editor Honolulu Star-Bulletin. !
Sir: The remarks of Mr.. Richard
vers about the water rates by the
meter measure are very interesting,
md ! hope public discussion will pave
he way to obtain an equitable and
'ust water rate for the taxpayers OF
honolulu. - .-..~ .--.....-.-
There are at present a great mum.
Der of dissatisfied people that are
compelled to pay by the new meter
system. The Honolulu water works

ieclare fat dividends. " -. i
AS | see it the water works be.
'ong to the taxpayers and has been
1uilt up with their good money, and
,urely every taxpayer ought to get
square deal. The meters may be cor
-ect or too low or too high in many
instances. Who can decide? -.
II this new meter rate becomes law
or all we might as we'll throw a sad

tlCurfshing hibiscus hedges. Very

ray the exorbitant high water rates
IS they figure out under the meter
readings. >... IL. 49,. +
The claim is often made that the
water works don't pay. I'm unable to
argue on that point. But I'd like to
tsk. do our courts, our costly wharves
and our public schools, our lovely
Dad department, etc, pay for the big
money we invest in these items?
But this do know: Our taxes in

here is an advance of so per cent in

VOLUNTEER PROMOTION WORK.

If there are any doubling ThOmases remaining in
Hawaii who wonder whether the territory is getting
much publicity abroad, they should subscribe TO q
clipping bureau and take the results Of a weeks

illustrated magazines and trade papers of all sorts.
Even in the latter there frequent articles about
the islands.

of the Wells Fargo Messenger containing a two
page illustrated article by George A. O'Brien one
Of the hustling organizers of Wells Fargo business

probation of the beauties of Honolulu and of the
upto-date aspect of the city in general paying tri-
butte to its American alertness in business way.
His article will lie read by thousands of Wells
Fargo men who know Mr.. O'Brien personally or
know of his high business and personal reputation,
and who are assured that what he writes is unexag-
gerated truth. 1t will reach thousands of others.
1t will be very good advertising indeed for these

place for the tourist TO visit.

holidays in Hawaii was the consensus
of opinion Wednesday afternoon at

The observance of Kalakaua Day
is in honor of King Kalakaua's birth
day and will have for its central fig,

king, and the business houses will oe
asked to cooperate in order that en-
ployes will have an opportunity to at
