Some grand jury reports about the conditions in Alaska Fisheries would rot be permitted in the United States mails. But that is the kind of stuff the Fish Barons expect to build up the country with.
 
 The extinction of the eagle specie is threatened because they destroy too many salmon. That is the kind of propaganda that Scientific ex- perts" hand out as an alibi for the vanton waste and destruction of hun dleds of thousands of salmon by the Fish Trust.
 In these days of high finance it is a greater crime to steal a loaf of 're2d because you are hungry than to steal a million dollars.

EMPHASIZE THE CITIZENS

A friend handed us the Honolulu Star-Bulletin of April 24th, 1924th issue, in which there is an editorial as above entitled. It has proven very interesting to us from many standpoints. It is short and so We reprint it.
 "Governor Harrington, in letter to the Territorial Board of Health, draws attention to the fact that the territory does not class it's residents as "citiZens" and "non-citizens." The board of health statistics are based cn race names. Thus children of Japanese blood, in the board of health records, classified as Japan csc, though they are American citi- zens; children of Portuguese blood are classified as Portugese, though they are American citizens. The same holds true for Chinese, kore ans and other races.
 "As a result, the full extent of Hawaii's citizen population is ob- scured. A guess is made that it is around 100000, this figure being an e;timate on the basis of the 1920 federal census.
 "The method used by the board of health is carried into other fields. It appears in compilation of regis tered voters, in school surveys, and in many papers and discussions of IIaWaii's population.
 "Protests against this emphasis on the race instead of on the citi- zenship have frequently been made. Not long ago The Star-Bulletins letter column contained such pro- test. The writer, a young American of an alien race, objected to being classified by his blood instead of his citizenship. He wanted to be an American, and nothing else.
 "Frequently the statement is made that there are more than 12O,OOO Japanese in Hawaii with no refer cnce to the fact that 50 per cent of these are American citizens.
 "A different method of classifica- tion is needed-one that will put the emphasis where it belongs-on the fact that the large majority of Fawaii's people are citizens of the United States.'
