Territorial immigration Off,
Gals See Benefits From
Hawaiian System

Havairs labor bonus system has
done much to settle the living condl-
tions of immigrant families, making
them content to remain on the planta-
tions rather than seek new places OF
work in the city, in the opinion OF +.
II. Wodehouse, chairman of the terri
torial board of immigration, labor and
statistics.
Similar views are expressed by
Ralph A. Kearns, former commission
er of the immigration bureau, who was
in close touch with the labor element
for number of years as territorial
official. Mr.. KeaTns says he believes
the bonus system has done much to
settle the working man on the planta,

Only Europeans we're imported by
the immigration bureau during the
years they were actually operating, but
no importations at all have been made

since then has been the repatriation of
persons physically incapaciated for

homes in Europe at the expense OF the
territory. Since active work OF the
bureau was stopped by the legislature,
nothing at all in this line is now being
done.
81 think undoubtedly much benefit
for the plantation laborer has been &C
complished though the bonus system,
saws Chairman Wodehouse.
'One needs only to pause for a
moment and consider what an addi'
tional rs per cent to the. years wages
would do for them. ..a- +.
1T was formerly common for labor
from the plantations to come to the
city where life was more a-stir, be-
lieving that as good jobs could be
found here as they were leaving. But
since the bonus per cent has begun
to increase more and more each year
common sense has ruled for the most
part and kept them steadily at work
in the country. Two years ago there
was a considerable demand for labor
in the city but this condition did not
hold constant and stranded people
often came to the immigration office
for help. Men whe were able to work.

manenCy of Service,
Says R. A: Kearns

Speaking without prejudice, and as
one who has long been resident of
this territory, l should say that the
new bonus will have a most salutary
effect on labor conditions upon the
plantations, said Ralph A. Kearns,
for several years commissioner, and
secretary of the bureau of immigra-
ton, labor and statistics for the ter
ritory. Judging from the past, when
far smaller amounts were paid, this
bonus has steadying effect upon the
laborers 1t has a tendency to make
them, that is, the majority Of them,
want to stay with the plantations, and
work harder than ever BEFORE 1t
puts heart into. them, and into their
work. They feel like it is worth while
trying D do their best, because it
brings them actual results in money.
OF course among the laborers will
be found those who cannot stand pros
perity. In some of this class no
madic spirit will suddenly develop,
and they will want to take themselves
Oh to new pastures. Others will want
to get rid Of their money as fast as
they can, and will spend it foolishly.
These spenders and wanderers are not
confined to any one race, but have
their representatives in all races.
However" continued Mr.. kearns,
81 should like to say fo- our largest
laboring class, the Japanese, that few
MASTERS are found among them. They
are a generous people, but they are
not an extravagant people, nor does
prosperity turn their heads. This
bonus undoubtedly is proving true
bonus to them. They will send some
of it home to their families still re-
naming in Japan, but lot OF it will
be invested with the merchants in
the territory for greater living COM
forts, some of it will go into more
lasting investments, a lot OF 1t will
90 into the BANKS, and some OF 1t
will be spent on Injuries such as auto
mobiles end musical instruments and
presents for the children.
Heretofore the bonus has proved
itself good thing for the planter, be-
cause it has made better workmen OF
his laborers, and for the business men
by increasing the amount of spending
money, and for the -laborer, by Civ
ing him greater seI1-respect, as well
as more money, and l believe that the
greater the bonus. the greater the
good to the community. @

SENATOR KING i.
AGAINST MORE
FAR EAST LABOR
Utah Scion Wants to See More
Real Americans Come Here
to Make Homes:

Senator King of Utah is not enthus-
iastic over the agitation to admit more
Oriental labor. into the Hawaiian is
lands. He is not prone to give encour'
agement to the plan carried to Wash.
ington some months ago, or to the
present agitation for the lifting Of the
bars that would admit 10000 Chinese
Iaborers into the territory. He has
been approached on the subject while
he has been on the islands and while
not giving his emphatic disapproVal to
the plan he believes the plantation in
terests and others should make every
effort to get along with what they
have.
From what / have SEEN said Sen
ator King before he left for the
mainland, q judge the demand for
more Chinese labor to cultivate your
rice fields is really not due to labor
shortage. Your rice markets and your
rice crop may be the result Of sitter
competition and more modern meth
DDS which you have failed to meet. 1t
seems to me an improvement in meth
DDS might adjust your problem"
While at Kailua Senator King was
greeted by delegation Of kona Jap
anese who desired to impress on him
the value of the coffee industry here
and urged that some steps be taken
to make the states a profitable mar
ket for island coffee. They expressed
the hope that no duty imposition
would be made. Before leaving they
presented him with the following com.
munication: -
''To our respected members of con-
gress:
mo honor could be conferred upon
us than to be accorded the privilege OF
meeting you the most honorable body
today and we take this opportunity to
express our sincere greetings to you.
CAS- the proverb says, 1T is better to
see once than to hear hundred times
This adage stands true even today, in
this age of improved communication
facilities, and we are aware of the
truth of the vast difference, in the
matter Of arriving at the real truth,
between what we read and what we
observe with our own eyes. In this
sense We are very thankful as we'll as
fortunate to have you gentlemen here
to personally see and study the real
conditions of Hawaii, which will, we
have not the least doubt, to have a
far reaching effect advantageous t.
Hawaii and it's residents.
1--WE sincerely hope that you will not
fail to observe among many other
things how the japanese residents
here are for every moment striving
under the Stars and Stripes for the
betterment of Hawaii, and more so
have us realize the significance of our
position? p
In conclusion we have the honor 10
add and with emphasis that particu.
Iarly during the continuance of this
war, we, the Japanese residents here,
shall be and are always ready to ex-
press our loyalty in whatever form to
the Stars and Stripes to which We owe
cur lives, prosperity and freedom
which we now enjoy.

FLAG OF THE MINUTEMEN.

The Banner Under Which the "Embat-
tied Farmers" Fought.
Under what flag did the "embattled
farmers" fight? There was no nation
al flag then, no state or provincial flag
even. But, says Peleg d. Harrison in
"The Stars and Stripes and Other
American Flags" there was a flag
there nevertheless.
The farmers of Lexington carried the
cornet or standard of the Three Coun-
ty troop. That banner designed
for a local company Of cavalry raised

the drills. At the midnight alarm Cap
tain Page snatched up the standard
and carried 1t with him to Concord,
where it waved above the smoke of
that battle"
The flag is now preserved under glass
in a flreproof safe Of the Public library
at Bedford, Mass, and can be seen by
arrangement with the librarian.

pull upp cried Peter to his wife.
Sonia drew rein and at the same time
several men emerged from the wood on
one side Of the road.
I'VE are just In -time," said one of
them.
But Peter did not hear him; he was
locked In ON embrace with his wife,
while the horse stood painting. Then
the mother took little Peter in her
arms, while tears of relief flowed fast.
A party of woodsmen working near
the road had heard the yelping and the
shots and, surmising the cause, had
ran toward the approaching din. Hav-
ing guns and ammunition, the driving
off Of the remaining wolves was an
easy matter.
There was thankfulness In the hearts
of Peter and his wife while completing
their journey, and as soon as they had
reached their home and put little Peter
In his crib they fell on their knees side
by side and with their arms about
each other.
Peter Nich!alief's farm was besieged
war waged so far from them that
they got no news of 1t except when
some discharged soldier came home,
usually broken down in body and some
times in mind, to tell them about It,
Peters accounts were listened to in
wrapt attention, but on telling OF his
adventures he always wound up by

fire he had never encountered anything
so appalling as when the only remain
ing defense for his wife and boy was
his own body thrown as meat to the
wolves
Not long after Peters return another
discharged soldier brought the news
that the Little Father had abdicated
the throne, and new era had opened
for the Russian empire.
BY this time Peter, having become
strong again, was seized with desire
to go back to the firing line. That is
the singular feature of soldiers life.
While mourning danger many man
pines for safety and the comforts of
home, but let him remain inactive for
a short period and an irresistible de-
sire comes upon him to get back into
those very dangers that had been so
intolerable.
Peter would have gone back at once
had not Sonia begged him not to leave
her, not to tear himself away from
their little boy.
Peter listened to her appeals till the
import of the stirring events came over
him. In the deposition of the car, the
entering of the United States into the
contest, he saw struggle between i'm
perialism and democracy. He believed
in the rule of the people, and as one Of
the people he deemed it his duty to &C
on fighting for their cause. Then he
went back.
