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.

SAVED RAIL RIDE
Mob in Wardiier Would Drive
Editor From 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.

Abraham Lincoln's Birthday.
PORTLAND, Feb. 18. (To ths Editor.)
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.
