Japan in Hawaii

- ECENTLi Samuel Gompcrs gave out a
statement vigorously attacking the
policy pursued by the government in the.
matter of japanese immigration to Hawaii
He produced statistics showing that the act
prohibiting tho admission of japanese to
the Islands was being hagrantly violated to
'he disadvantage OF American laborcrs
Under the policy pursued of admitting Jap
ancse. American labor is being steadily dis
placed on the sugar farms.
In support of Mr. Gompers' statement
it was admitted by j. V. A. Murray. chief
OF the State Department division OF Far
Eastern affairs. that Japan had never APP
lIied the restrictions in the agreement To
Hawaii. but had regulated the number Of
lahorers to whom passports had been given
10 iiawal by means OF an arrangement
with the sugar planters. The method. il
was stated, had been proposed by American
emp overs of labor and acquiesccd III by
Japan. Representative johnson, chairman
OF the immigration Committee said y
insist that now is the time to declare Hawaii
a Fart OF the United States with respect
TO Japan and all others
SO Congress now proposes to conduct an
inquiry To ascertain the facts in relation to
the situation. Certainly there is need for
action ii the islands are 10 continue to he
American rather than Japanese IL the
present policy OF admitting these Japanese
is not discontinued, il lis only question
oil time when American laborcrs will he
forced To leave the islands and seek en-
ploymcnt in the States. With the percen-
tase of japanese steadily increasing in the
islands, II is inevitable that occasions for
friction between this country and Japan
would correspondingly increase
True, our relations with Japan at the
present time are not OF tho most cordial
character. but this fact should not be in
torposcd to prevent searching investiga-
tion, with view to the application OF
uniform policy of restriction to all terri
tory under the protection OF the Stars and
stripes. This means that the investigation
should he carefully handled. so as to avoid
unduly exciting the jingoists in either
country.

Stuart Makes Amends; Jnmcs Rcfu~cS

+ oRMER Governor Henry c. Stuart has
made the amende honorable to Harry
st. George Tucker, whom he was reported
to have referred to in public addresses as :,
"bolter' from the Democratic party in 1896
and ''prodgal son" in 1905 In a telo-
gram addressed to Mr.. fuckers campaign
manager the former Governor asserts en-
phatically that he did not refer to Mr..
Tucker in terms that reflected on his party
regularity.
The amende comes graciously from Mr.
Stuart, but it is at once unfortunate and
lnsignif'cent that in printing his telegram
of denial Senator Trinkle's campaign head
quarters quoted him as saying but did
refer to him as a prodigal SON" whereas
what Mr.. Stuart really said, as he sets forth
in telegram of correction necossitated by
the misquotation, was nor did refer TO
him as prodsal son" Senator Trinkle's
managers print tho correction, hut perhaps
they are not altogether unmindful of the
fact that an error. which they claim it to
