More Than Eight Thousand
From the above table, the total
number Of Japanese who did not come
back to the Territory Is $3.50, and when
we add to this. figure the number Of
departures less arrivals during June,
July and August Of this year, the total
figure will be somewhere near 5000.
Cannot Now Return
Nov, the question IL whether these
nine thousand Japanese do not desire
to come back to Hawaii any more }
II is not that these laborers do not
wish to come to Hawaii again. In real.
ity they are wishing TO come back to
Hawaii, but they are prevented to do
so by the rules of the japanese foreign
department, which require any person
returning from any foreign country to
ask for a passport in one and one-half
wears from the date of his return II
he wishes to leave again. Those la
borers have permitted this time limit
imposed by the foreign department to
lapse and they are assuming various
occupations in Japan, having no chance
to get passport to come TO Hawai-.
This fact is clearly proven by numer-
Gus letters they are sending to their
friends in Hawaii asking for the lat
tprs' help 10 secure for them some way
of getting n passport. There is no
doubt that the Japanese are liking Ha,
wall.

Labor Needed Now

Of labor arising from departures of
European immigrants and the eonserip
tion Of drafters has come 10 be fPlt
throughout America. Hawaii has no
escaped from this tendency and now
labor shortage has arrived.
Every person wishing for the de
vrlOpmpnt Of Hawaiian industries is
studying this labor problem, and Ps-
pcciaIly the Hawaiian Sugar Planters
Association. which represents the most
part of the capitalists in Hawaii, is
eagerly concerned to find a measure to
supply this local shortage Of labor,
There are some who propose to import
Porto Rirans. Some are inclined to
bring Mexican labOrers, while some
others want to import Chinese coolies
Notwithstanding. there was none who
could see the advisability Of inducing
the return of those Japanese who had
been in Hawaii once before, and even
il there was ANYBODY who saw to il he
did not venture to propose it. This

"Mr. Albert Horner, Hawaii repre-
sentative of the War Trade Board,
has advised the central government to
import Chinese labOrers into Hawai-
II is said that his ground for this pro
posaI is that China has superfluOus
labor and therefore the importation Of
Chinese is easy, while Japan is feeling
shortage of labor. At a glance his
reasoning looks plausible, but a closer
examination reveals that his ground of
argument is very weak from the start.
Although the mines and factories in
certain districts in Japan have felt
shortage of labor, and welcomed Ia
bOrers from Korea and China, Japan
as a whole does not feel any labor
shortage. The reason why this short
age was felt in certain districts is due
to the fact that japanese laborers do
not like to work in those mines and
factories because the wages paid are
very low while the work to be done is
very severe When once granted the
right to emigrate, the Japanese labor
ers win certainly prefer to go to for.
eign countries than to remain in home
country. As practical example, the
number Of emigrants to South Ameri'
ca now reaches a large figure. This
shows clearly the true situation.

NOTA RICH MANS WAR

The charge that this is a .rich mans war In the
sense that in connectiops withsit the wealthy are exempt
ed from bearing their I'll share of the personal and finan-
cial burden has been SO thoroughly exploded that it is
strange that anyone should be SO foolhardy as to repeat
it, Yet the charge is repeated from time to time by un-
truthful and seditious persons. and occasionally these per-
sons find some who. in the absence Of other information.
will believe them.
The government has taken steps to dispose Of this
mediums of communication the services Of the Four
Minute Men all over the country. These Four Minute
Men are serving under the direct supervision of the gov
eminent. 1t is their business to make brief talks on
various occasions, and. while each speaker arranses his
discourse in his own way, the facts which he presents
are supplied to him directly by the government. and he
is required to present them without modification or var
iation. y
One series of these talks is devoted to the income
tax. 1t is shown that, with the tax starting at the mini
mum, its rate increases with the increase of income. un-
til instead of the 2 per cent which is paid by the man of
small income on that portion of his income which is tax
ed. the tax reaches the enormous rate Of over 60 per cent
for the very wealthy.
1t Us interesting, also. to compare our income taxes
with those of England. According to figures furnished
by the treasury department, in comparison with the tax
levied in England our own income taxes are moderate,
indeed.
In England the tax on incomes Of $1,000 is IL

In England the tax on incomes of $500 is 6 1-2
per cent; in America nothing for married men or heads
of families, and 2 per cent on $500 for an unmarried
man.
In England the tax on an income of $4,000 is { rs

AN EASY

from the returns thus far available it appears rea-
aenably certain that in the Wisconsin senatorial primary
EDnroot has won the Republican nomination by a small
narstn over Thompson. If that proves to be the result
fhs contest at the fall election will be between Lenroot,
Republican, and Davies, Democrat, bothHclean and cap-
able men, and both of unquestioned and. rugged LOYALTY.
The result Of that election will hinge on personal and
party preferences. Patriotism will not be an issue as
tseween these two men.
Should the contrary result prove to have been
1saohed . different situation will confront the voters:
On the one hand they will have the Democratic candi-
date. capable and loyal to the nation and thoroughly
committed to the. cause in which the nation is enlisted.
9n the other hand they will have Thompson, the per-
qenal selection of Robert M. LaFollette, whose nomina-
4on, II 1t has been made, will be due to the support of
1ro-Germans, Socialists, and the disgruntled and disaf-
4cted generally,
Under these circumstances it will not be dimcu1t
pr the loyal American to make his choiee, no matter to
What party he belongs. It is putting the party cloak to
a Ill use to make of it a covering for sedition. If it
proves that the nomination has gone to Thompson. who
sands in this. instance as the representative of that
which is most Objectionable in our public life and most
dangerous to the nation, then the loyal Republican will
lave no chpice other than to cast his vote for the Demo-
cratic candidate who stands. first Of all, for LOYALTY to
the nation.

BOYS WORKING RESERVE

Among the activities due to the war is the creation
of the Boys Working Reserve. Many societies and organ
iations Of various kinds have been the outgrowth. of war
conditions. but there is none which seems to have been
more happily conceived, or to have greater prospects of
usefulness than has this society Of boys enlisted in the
service of the nation in the performance of essential work
behind the lines"
The character of the, organization will be understood
from the description of it given in an official folder. This
description reads:
The U. S. Boys Working Reserve is a registered
army Of patriotic youths between the ages of sixteen and
twenty-one, organized under the U. S. Department of La
Dor to help the nation where most needed to win the war
IN field and factory, Every boy physically fit, of proper
age, is eligible for this non-mintary civilian army. To en-:
roll, the young man applies to his Federal State Director.
whose name and address can be found on the last page
of this pamphlet, fills out an enrolment card, obtains
the consent Of his parent, takes the Oath Of Service and
receives a certificate bearing the Great Seal of the Unit
ed States and an Enrolment Badge He can xerve his
country in three separate units of the Reserve. If he
goes into the AGRICULTURAL UNIT, he will probably
work on a farm from a camp, or live in the farmers fam
lily, and after sx, weeks Of satisfactory service he will
receive a Federal Badge bearing the Great Seal of the
United States If he worksin an industry which is essen
tial in helping to win theEWar. he enters the INDUS
TRIAL UNIT. and gains the Federal bronze badge when
he has served ten weeks subsequent to enrolment The
Ee"'rve recommends that all boys who are at school re-
main there and use their spare time in preparing them
vocationally for some essential occupation The
roy who thus trains himself and goes into active service
in a w:r-essential occupation as a member of the vocA-
T1oNAL UNIT. is awarded the Federal Bronze Badgs on
taking employment" X
This purpose is surely a worthy one. The plan is
also effective. The society was organized in May, 1917.
and during the last year it was instrumental in saving
great areas Of farm crop, and in the performance OF other
needful work It has the endorsement of the president,
and Of public men seneraAy.t It provides an opportunity
for patriotic service, and at the same time, its influence
on the character Of its members is bound to be of the
highest value. N
