Newspaper Page Textf TITE MORXIXG OREGOXIAN, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 17, I90S. JAPANESE QUIET THE ISLANDS Bishop Moore Finds No Basis for Alarming Reports From Hawaii. UPRISING IS NOT FEARED Methodist Churchman Discovers Nothing to Indicate That Mi kado's Subjects Are Hostile or Organized for Possible War. That there Is no apparent feeling of hostility toward the United States on the part of the Japanese residents of Hawaii, and that there is no offensive organization among them, is the opin ion expressed by Bishop David H. Moore, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who returned to Portland yes terday from the Hawaiian Islands, where he. went to Inspect the Methodist missions maintained at various points in the group. He was in the islands six weeks. Bishop Moore also says that the visit of the United States bat tleships to the Pari lie Coast is ap proved by all classes in Hawaii, the Americans believing that the fleet should be stationed permanently in the Pacific to protect the Interests of the Western Coast and the insular posses sions. Bishop Moore also expresses himself as pleased with the condition in which he found the Methodist missions, the plantation managers appreciating the economic value of the missionary influ ence and giving It their entire support. Bishop Moore was accompanied on his trip by his daughter. Telling of his observations in Hawaii, Bishop Moore said: "As to tho Japanese situation In Ha waii, there oeems to be no disturbance in the minds of the people on any of the islands that I visited. They are well aware that the Islands are unpro tected, and that at present they are open to an attack by any hostile power. They do not seem to have any appre hension whatever that Japan has any unfriendly purpose with regard to the islands. More than a third of the pop ulation of the group is Japanese about 72,000. I inquired carefully as to whether the reports have any ostensi ble foundation which occasionally reach us to the effect that the Japa nese are armed and organized and that such organization contains many vet eran soldiers. Japanese Nonorganized. "While they admitted that there were men working on the plantations who had served their country In the late war and were thoroughly trained ac cording to Japan's mllUary require ments, they did not believe the Japa nese were organized with reference to any hostile act, either against the Ter ritory or the United States; certainly not toward any of the other nationali ties represented in the Islands. "On all of the Islands except perhaps Oahu, the landing of arms would be practically an Impossibility. Every thing Is subjected to a most rigid scru tiny, the managers realizing the im portance of harmonious labor condi tions. Theerfore, the arming of any portion of the population would be inimical to the peace which Ss essential to the economic development of the territory. There Is a very heterogen eous population in the Islands Chi nese, Japanese, Coreans, Portuguese, I'orto RIcans and a few Filipinos. These literally dwell together in unity. There is no unfriendly race feeling whatso ever and no combination of any race i resist due process of law against any offenders. "The Japanese are as submissive to lawful arrest as any of the others, and the impression given me was that there is no such thing as an organiza tion of the Japanese. "If there is. It has been carried on so covertly as to escape the lynx-eyed officials, who are widely concerned in preserving and promoting peace. "I have reason t,o believe that the Islands are quite well prepared to take care of any Insurrection. The white men who are In official or commercial author ity are unusually able. There is. of course, an army post near Honolulu. There is besides a foundation of militia, well organized and equipped and capable of speedy and extensive expansion. The islnnds are fortunate In having ex-Chief Justice FTeon for Governor. He Is a statesman of the first rank, possessing the instincts of the soldier and com mander. Tho peoplo of Hawaii are not borrowing trouble; their sleep Is not dis-. turbed: they do not suspect" Japan; and they havs unbounded faith in the United States Government. Approve Fleet's Coming. "As to the coming of the fleet, the pre vailing attitude Is one of entire approval. While there is no apprehension of dan ger, the feeling Is general that the best way to insure the peace of the Islands Is to make it exceedingly unpleasant for any power to Interfere with their rights and interests. I heard one missionary express the opinion that the coming of the fleet was a sort of fighting-cock ex hibition, as much as to say: 'Here I am; now come on." He deplored and de claimed most vigorously against the whole expedition; but what he said was noticeable chiefly because it was In lone some contrast with the prevailing ex pressions. "The great majority hope that the fleet will not only arrive In safety but that it will be found Inconvenient for It ever to sail out of Pacilio waters; In other words, that It will be left to guard our extensive Pacific Coast and Island pos sessions and that the Government will create another equally formidable fleet to protect our Atlantic Interests. "The crops this year are in splendid shape. The attention of the territorial officials and many of the most prominent business men is being directed, as never before, to the Introduction of new Indus tries. The Governor Is using his influ ence to secure the occupancy of public lands by small farmers, realizing that such an arrangement would be an added assurance of the permanent security and prosperity of the territory. Churches Are Prosperous". "All of the churches. Including the Methodist, arc actively at work on all of the islands and are receiving the earn est support of the plantation managers. The economic value of missionary work has Its demonstration In the cane fields and sugar mills of the territory, the managers bearing witness to the fact that the whole tendency of the mission ary influence is to make the laborer more conscientious, more steady and more re liable, and therefore more productive. "Our work, besides a very successful congregation in Honolulu, Is confined principally to the Japanese and Coreans on four of the islands. I visited our mis sions on the islands of Hawaii, Maui and in the interior of Oahu, but owing to lack of time did not reach Kauai. All of the churches are in splendid condition. The Islands have more remarkably strong and remarkably good men than I know of in any territory of equal size." FAVORS POSTAL BANKS George S. Shepherd Speaks Before the People's Forum. George S. Shepherd, candidate for rep resentative in Congress from the Second Congressional District, favored postal savings banks In an address before the People's Forum In the Muikey building yesterday afternoon. Aside from pro viding absolute security for deposits, Mr. Shepherd contended that savings banks, backed by the Government, would encour age thrift and economy among the peo ple. They would exert a still greater in fluence, insisted the speaker, by discour aging the exploitation of wildcat enter prises such as had been disclosed In the failure of the Title Guarantee & Trust Company. Mr. Shepherd prefaced his remarks by saying that 'the large number of bank failures resulting from the disturbed financial conditions last Fall had served only to Intensify the feeling of distrust in the banking Institutions of the coun try, and as a result there was a general demand among the people for more secure depositories or their earnings. Postal savings banks, he said, were not an ex periment, one such an Institution being maintained in the Philippines while the same banking system was in operation In many European, countries. Mr. Shepherd admitted that the opera tion of these savings banks backed by the Government, might discourage the invest ment of capital 1n private banking in stitutions, but he considered this effect would prove more of an advantage than otherwise, because he did not regard a savings bank run by private Individuals to be a good business proposition. The speaker then showed that where savings banks offer 3 and 4 per cent interest on deposits, it is necessary for such banks to loan all funds at a high rate of In terest. This, he argued, leads to the financing of questionable enterprises. The banking system of the country was criticised particularly as relating to Na tional banks, while that of Scotland, where the stockholders of a bank are held personally liable for every cent of the deposits, was commended. Reference was made to the fact that under this sys tem there had been but two bank failures in Scotland in 200 years. Several others participated In the dis cussion, all favoring postal savings banks with proper regulations and limitations. HELPING THE UNEMPLOYED Councilman Concannon's Rejoinder to Councilman Vaughn. PORTLAND, Feb. 16 (To the Editor.) I am in favor of helpinr the unemployed of this city If It can legally be done by the City Council. But I cannot see how the City Council can appropriate a ium of money to be used for city work on streets and parks If the charter Is lived up to, as the charter plainly says that city employes must pass civil aervlce examinations. I understand that there are over 100 aoplloants waiting at the present time to so to work for the city who have passed civil service examina tions and I think those men ought first to be employed, according to the charter. If not. the city may have trouble with them. I do not want personally to be held responsible for money voted away by the council. We: as councilman at the city of Portland, should be vory, very care ful how we vote away taxDayera' money. We are "going some" already with regard to voting for a raise of salary of men em ployed by the city. The poor man never seta too much waxes If ba la a good. In dustrious workman. My Idea in regard to a commission, as proposed by council, to expend this money causes a great deal of hard feeling towards this commission, for In every ward In the city there are more or leaa men with fam ilies unemployed. As aoon as people would ascertain that the City Council had voted to appropriate tlO.000 for the unemployed of this city every councilman would be bealesed by dozens or more applicants to obtain work for them at S3 per day. Each councilman Would recommend to said commission his applicants and the result would be that Councilman Conconnon'a applicants would all get employment, so that they could pay their grocery bills In fulL and Councilman Vaughn's applicants would all be referred back to Councilman Vaughn with the state ment that there Is plenty of work on De kum avenue for hia unemployed. T. J. CONCANNON, Councilman First Ward. Public Hall for Harmony. HARliO.NY, Or., Feb. 16. (Special.) A movement Is on foot here for the erec tion of a public hall by the citizens of this town.

ATTITUDE IN , GAMBLING Alleged This Is Responsible for. the Trouble) Editor of News Is Bit ter Against Gamblers and the Feeling Reaches Fever Heat. WARDNKR, Idaho, Feb. W. (Special.) What was said to be an effort to storm the office of the Wardner News, to ride the editor, W. I. Penney, oirt of town on a rail and to demolish the presses and other furnishings, was thwarted Jast night after the town authorities had been told of the brewing trouble and the formation of a mob of enraged citizens. Extra po licemen were sworn in and stationed at advantageous places in the line of attack. At 2 o'clock this morning the mob, which, it is alleged, was formed of sym pathizers of the move in favor of open gambling, had not made an attack. The regular police officers were stationed at the printing office, and it is this precau tion .that nipped the move in the bud. For three months Wardner has experi enced a red-hot fight over the gambling question, the News taking the anti-gambling side and supporting H. W. Van Nor man for Mayor, to take the place of Dr. Hugh France, resigned. At a meeting of citizens alleged to favor open gambling, held recently, Mr. Flalg was indorsed for Mayor. Because of the resignation of Dr. France, the "City Council will appoint a substitute. At the first session in Feb ruary an Ineffectual attempt was made to appoint Van Norman. Editor Penney says he firmly believes the mob was composed entirely of the gambling element, which he has repeat edly burned In the columns of his paper.

Whatever Is truly great has an Interest that is inexhaustible. Again and again we re turn to Mt. Hood, the Paciflo Ocean, the writings of Shakespeare, the oratorios and symphonies of Mozart with an ever deepening appreciation of their Influence over us. And so It Is even In a more eminent de gree with the life and character of Abraham Lincoln, whose birth is celebrated with perenial Interest. Entirely familiar with the story of his life we come back to It once a year, fasci nated by the majesty and the mystery of his powerful personality. The well-known sombre hue he wore we now understand was only the Indication of the mass and height f his great soul which could have little concern with convention alities. Generally speaking, the man of genius is a lonely man. His humble birth and the little education he got along with his first occupations only seem to deepen the Interest and the mystery of his life. To stand, as did the writer not long since, by his tomb at Springfield is a patriotic and moral tonic. C. E. CLINE. The Man and His Country. PORTLAND, Feb. IS. (To the Editor.) The views expressed In The Oregonlan's re cent editorial on "Plutocratic Rule" are quite interesting, but I do" not see how one could expect anything else. Our Govern ment is all right and there is nothing wrong with it. Every American citizen Is still entitled to his 160-acre homestead, and he has a right to all he produces on the 160 acres, with the exception of a tax, which usually is not unreasonable. The fault is with the man himself. He Is trying to whip his own country. The man who forgets his God forgets what country means, and, really the truth is man gets his own laws and makes them according to his understand ing. We aren't boys. VIOLA BURNS. Rugs Any Size.
