HAWAIIAN NATIVE

R, M. Irvine Has Just Re-
turned From Islands After
an Extended Visit,

Hwli the land of romance. Ik a
queer combination of Orient and Oc
cident. Assembled In the cities are
race representatives from the whole
Pacific-America, Aula, Australasia and
the Islands of the f .r South sea. R. M.
Irvine found It by far the most Inter
esting place he has ever visited.
Mr. Irvine returned from an ex
tended business trip through the
Islands only a few days ago. He vis
ited the crater of Kllauea and gazed
dcwn Into the fiery caldron from the
vt-ry riin.
Ha traversed the great sugar plan
tations and pineapple fields, where he
found men. women and children toll
ing side by xlde people of all races.
' happy In their work and contented with
their wage.
Many Stores Observed.
In the city of Honolulu Mr. Irvine
was struck by the great number of
lores.
Mr. Irvine found, with all the quefr
admixture of races, th.it the native
Hawaiian) are decreasing at an enor
mous rate. And this is a matter of
aadness Lo the American people who
have lived there Ion;,', because - the
Hawaiian is looked upon as the ex
emplification of aU that Is kindly
nd noble and nond. Kven before civ
ilization spread to the Islands, tho
natives never had savage Instincts
Ilka so many other Islanders. Kvery
day of Mr. Irvine's stay, he scanned
the papers to see the long lists of
death notices. Fully R5 per cent of
the decedents, ho said, were Ha
wallans. "But there Is no danger of Hawaii's
becoming depopulated," he said. "1
lever saw so many children In my
life as on this trip.
Woman Taka Children Along;,
"Every plantation which employ
. many workers Is fairly alive with
children. I saw one Japanese woman
working awuy with two babies
trapped to her back. Others were
playing about her."
It wa during the Portland man's
visit that the "floor" of the big vol
cano dropped down. This caused
quite a stir, as It was Instantly fol
lowed by the eruption of a volcano
far remote which had been thought to
ba extinct for years. Mount Lassen
resumed Its eruption about the same
time and some think there Is a con
nection, Mr. Irvine believes there Is a great
opportunity for Increased trade with
Hawaii and that Portland could profit
by closer relations.

Should School Open
Labor Day? Question
S. Benson Bands keUer to School Board
Opposing Bequest of Labor Council
That It Be a Holiday.
Should the coming school year be
opened on Labor day is a question to
be decided by the school board.
At yesterday's meeting of the board
communications were received from S.
Benson urging that school be held on ;
Labor day and from the Central Labor
council urging that the day be a
holiday.
"'In the matter of the petition of
the Central Labor council to postpone
the opening of the public schools un
til after Labor day, September 4,"
wrote Mr. Benson, "I wish to say
that I oppose the, closing of the public
schools on Labor day.
"Of all the days of the school year
this day will be the most appropriate
to teach the rising generation in our
public schools the lesson of good citi
zenship, law and order; that labor Is
property; that life, liberty and the I
pursuit of happiness Is a principle of j
our republic, although sadly handi
capped by the unlawful acts of many
members of the local labor council;
that forcible prevention of the free
right to labor is the act of a high
wayman; that no country, city or com
munity can prosper or civilization pro.
gress unless labor and the right to la
bor Is free and unrestrained.
These principles will not be taught
to many children at home or at labor
picnics on that day under present local
lpbor conditions."
The matter was referred to a com
mittee for action.
