that the labor probers have distorted
the facts and presented the false
arguments of Japanese domination
has completely shattered the writer's
strong faith in the labor leaders who.
he believed, would never misrepre-
sent the truth. In all classes there
are honest and dishonest men. but
the writer did not believe this ap-
piled to the leaders of labor organ
lzations. which style themselves the
creators of a new age"
The Hawaii Shimpo attacked the
declaration of the report that the
Japanese control of the building
trades as well as most OF the small
stores of Hawaii.
1T was pointed out that there are
III Japanese merchandise stores as
compared with Sc American, and 90
Japanese theatres as against Amer
ican." the Shimpo said. How ridic-
ulous to compare an American firm
like American Factors. or 4. II.
Davies and Co, with a small Japan
csc store, or to compare the new
Hawaii or Princess treatre with the
Asahi Or Park Japanese treatres.
THE report, after all. is nothing
but misrepresentation. as far as the
Japanese problem is concerned.
"Laborers in Hawaii can rest as
sured that the labor organizations on
the mainland will not sanction a
measure which will be of great ad-
or benefit to the capitalists.
The so-called Japanese menace is
most annoying to the Japanese labor
crs here, but since the report has
no material effect on the laborers,
they should not be restless and
should keep up their movement for
higher Wages."t

Boil Weevil To
Be Fought With
New Machinery

Chicago, March 16.-CBy A. P)-
Plans to defeat the boil weevil and
help restore prosperity to southern
farmers by speeding up of their
farming system. We're outlined here
today by the National Institute of
Progressive Farming.
The institute believes. after an in
vestigatioh of the evil that yearly
causes so much loss to cotton grow
ers, that the best means Of combat
ting 1t is in the introduction of farm
machinery to replace what it terms
the one mule-and-a-c olored- hand
system" Cooperation with agricul-
tural colleges and experiment sta.
tions. county agents, chambers of
commerce and agricultural high
schools is planned in introducing
higher mechanical standards.
Prof. G. H. Afford, formerly with
the U. S. Department of Agriculture
and prominent agriculturalist, has
summed up the boil weevil problem
by saying that while it cannot be
eliminated, it is possible to defeat it
with intensive cultivation.
EARLY fall blowing buries the pests
before cool weather drives them off
the fields to seek alternating quar-
ters for the winter" he says. Cotton
yields per acre have been downward
for the last sixteen years, last year
being the lowest recorded. Larger
farms and Plantations, manned with
fewer and more highly skilled labor
ers and improved machinery. appears
to be solution.
while the average Iowa farm Is
equipped with SLAB worth Of ma
chinery and the average farm Of the
north and west carries about $1,000

dell expressly requested that he be
allowed to walk back to the Augusta
House whenever he pleased to leave.
Hon. George w. Heselton of Gard
iner, a member of the Association
who had made the acquaintance of
Justice Riddell in Toronto. was dele
gated by the Association to meet the
Justice in the morning at an hour
arranged with the Justice and ac-
company him to the State House and
remain with him while there The
Justice expressed his appreciation of
this courtesy.
Justice Riddell was invited By
Governor Baxter to become the guest
stood that it was because the Gov
ernor finding the Justice was alone
at the hotel invited him to the Man
sion. This very thoughtful and cour-
teous act of the Governor was much
appreciated by the Association. 1t
was most fitting. But the officers of
the Association would hardly have
had the presumption to suggest 1t to
the Governor or to ask 1t. Justice
Riddell came as the guest of the AS
ISOLATION. He became the guest of
the State in a most proper way.
The Secretary accompanied the
Justice from the Mansion to the
State House for the session in the
afternoon to which the Governor was
invited but was unable to attend.
Governor Baxter, a guest of the as
ISOLATION at the banquet, accom-
panied his guest from the Mansion
to the Augusta House and when the
banquet was over they walked to-
gether back to the Mansion.
who would have been glad to have
the Justice stay until a more COM
Portable hour that he had to leave
on that carly morning train. 1t was
necessary. 1t was talked over with
the Justice in the Governors presence
and he most courteously said he
would sec that his guest got away
comfortably.
Governor Baxter is courteous
gentleman and he spared no effort to
make the stay of his guest enjoyable.
SO far as the officers of the ssocia-
zion are concerned everything that
could be anticipated to give the JUS
tice not bad idea but a good idea
OF international courtesy was done.
The last words of the Justice to the
Secretary were that he had visited
many places but he had never re-
ceived such attention for every
moment as here in Augusta. Moth
ing had been left undone.
1t is just such uncalled for. untrue
and unjust statements and semi
truths as contained in the dispatch
that do more harm and hurt more
than can possibly be overcome by any
correction. 1t would have been so
easy to ascertain the truth. Why
couldn't it have been done?
would respectfully ask you TO
make this statement as prominent as
the despatch.
Yours 'ruly.

Game Warden Upton
Gives Good Advice
About Fish Holes

The necessity OF giving and the
following warning has been brought
to the attention Of Fish and Game
Warden Dick Upton:
If Ice fishermen would keep in
mind just before they are ready to
pack up their traps. to place a piece
of brush, or common stick. so
the teaming on ponds. and also
safety for those on foot. Within
few days horsese have stepped into
holes, which have been covered with
snow, and only by clever work of the
teamster. the horses were released
from their perilous position. The
teaming on lakes and ponds Just now
is indeed bad: horses up to their
bellies, fishermen unless using snow
shoes. should at least wear hip boots,
for under the snow there is plenty
of water and when fishermen open a
hole it adds to the discomfort of
break through is about two feet
deep. which naturally covers every
thing under the surface. so Mr..
Fisherman can you see how neces-
sary it is for safety to brush the
| hole you leave when through fishing
for the day. This should be prac-
tised, even when lakes and ponds are
free of snow, for skaters. children
for instance, might skate into them
Camp owners should also bush the
hole they cut as water holes.

roiioWlnS is 4 copy of q letter
written to the Portland Evening Ex-
press replying to a report printed in
that paper March Is, which will be
found self explanatory:
March Is. 1923.
To the Editor Of the Portland Eve
ming Express &, Advertiser:
My attention has been called to a
special dispatch from Augusta in
your issue of this afternoon with ref
erence to the entertainment Of Jus
tlce Riddell during his recent visit on
January 9th and 10th in Augusta at
the meeting of the Maine State Bar
Association concentrating the
Century OF Peace between the Unit
ed States and Canada.
The despatch says, ut is stated
that Justice Riddell arrived in Au-
gusta at midnight and on going to the
Augusta House found that no room
had been engaged for him. Finally
room was found which was cold and
without bath. The Justice remain
ed in the room until the next morn
ing when Governor Baxter learned of
his plight. The Governor sent his
Secretary to Justice Riddell inviting
him to be his guest at the Blaine
House. Justice Rddell at first de-
INJURED but finally accepted the Gov
ernor's invitation, which was I'M
sought by any member of the bar as
ISOLATION. The Governor ac-
companied the Justice to the banquet
and took him to the Blaine Mansion
considerable after midnight. Justice
Riddell was obliged to leave Augusta
that morning at o'clock. The Gov
ernor arose at and accompanied the
State guest to the railroad station
SO that he could get his train. But
for the action of the Governor the
comment is that the visiting justice
would have had a poor idea of inter-
national courtesy"
Such statements would, II true re-
fleet most seriously upon the Secre-
tary of the association who had
charge of the details of the meeting.
That, however, being a personal mat
Pier with him is not entitled to any
great consideration, however much
the consequent hurt. But the state
ment reflects upon the Maine State
Bar Association and l therefore feel
it my duty publicly to state the facts.
When Justice Riddell accepted the
invitation of the Association it was
understood and hoped that Mrs. Rid
dell would accompany him. Reserva-
tons were made at the Augusta
House for them both early in Decem-
Der. But the Justice came alone. ar
irving on the afternoon express of
the 9th. He was met at the station
by the Secretary with a specially or
dered carriage and pair. and taken
to the Augusta House. His room was
most comfortable with pleasing out
look, bath and ample heat. The Sec
rotary remained with the Justice I'M
til the arrival of Chief Justice Cor
nish who as planned called to pay
his respects and renew personal ac-
quaintance. The Chief Justice made
an extended call and then left Justice
Riddell for, as he said, bit of rest.
At Z Il carriage. arranged for by the
Association. called at the Augusta
House to take the Justice to the
home Of Chief Justice Cornish,
where he was entertained at dinner
with other members of the Court and
distinguished guests. among whom
was Governor Baxter. Justice Rid

Mr.. Scion Purinton, the organist of
All Souls church (Unitarian) will
give an organ recital on Sunday aft
ernoon at the church on State street.
This recital will be the musical por-
ton of the vesper service. 1t has
been the custom to hold these SER
vices at 4.30 in order to make a SER
vice at an hour convenient for many
who find a morning service difficult
to attend. and also it has been the
desire to keep these services of a
musical character, primarily, with a
short talk in addition. This service
will be a short talk in addition. This
service will be the next to the last
for the winter. the last one being held
next Sunday, Palm Sunday. The sub
ject for the talk will be: THE Armor

Jap Press
Angered By Report
On Hawaii Labor

Honolulu, T. H.. Feb. o6.-The
report of the federal commission.
which recently investigated labor
conditions in the Hawaiian Islands in
connection with the resolution pend
ing IN Congress to permit the impor-
tation of otherwise ineligible aliens
to counteract an alleged labor short
age. was subjected to considerable
criticism by the Japanese language
newspapers here. according to trans
latlons on file with the territorial at
torney general
The report said the commissioners
had found no labor shortage in the
pineapple or sugar industries, but
that shortage was apparent in the
rice industry. The Japanese news
papers objected. particularly in their
editorials, to the paragraph of the
should be called Especially to the
menace of the alien domination, and
that the present policy of parental
adoption and the importation of
picture brides by the Japanese
should ~'be stopped because these
practices have defeated the purpose
of the 'gentleman's agreement to
curtail common labor by augmenting
the supply to such an extent that it
will soon overwhelm the territory,
numerically, politically and CONNER
cially. The menace from a military
standpoint can be verified fully by
referring to the records of related
federal departments. If these islands
are to remain American, an assured
control Of political, industrial, COM
mercial, social and educational life
must be also American"
The Nippu Jill expressed regret
that 1.-THE members of the labor COM
mission have swallowed the wicked
propa ganda Of the interests and have
harped on the alleged Japanese
menace in their report. We did not
believe that the commission which
Investigated the actual conditions
would make such a report. This is
another instance Of the result of
reckless propaganda, Of men who
care only for the end and not for
the means"
The Hawaii Hochi said that the
report will please the capitalists,
and it impresses one that Chinese
coolies will be imported" Like the
Nippu Jill it believes that the COM
mission "swallowed the materials fed
to it by the agents of the sugar
planters"
