Job Printing a Specialty hi the Bandon Pont<• ilice THURSDAY The New Hawaii Within the next decade, or a lit­ tle more, Unce Sam is going to find a curious situation confronting him in the Hawaiian Inslands unless conditions are greatly changed by an influx of whites. He is going to wake up to the fact that a majority of the voting citizens of one of his territories are Orientals. This is not true as yet. In fact the proportion of Japanese, Chinese and Koreans who hold the right o' franchise is comparatively small. But by far the greater part of the total population is composed ol Orientals. There are about 70,000 Japanese, 30,000 Chinese and pos sibly 5,000 or 6,000 Koreans in the Territory, with only about to,000 white people and 45,000 Hawaiian* The adult Orientals, of course with the exception of the few who were naturalized under the kingdom, are not American citizens* But their children born on American soil may, if they so elect, become American citizens. As a consequence there is a probability that when those born in the islands attain their majo ity the Orientals will be able to control the situation. —Edward P. Irwin in November Pacific Monthly. The Friendship of Nation» Peace is one of the universal hopes of the human heart, it is in every philosophy in all poetry and in every religion. The heaven of the American savage, or of the fierce Viking, or of the poetic Greek, or the contemplative Buddist,—every heaven ever born out of the long ings of man’s heart is an abode of peace. He that thinks man has n it struggled very far on the road toward his ideal, knows very little of the history of man Whether one turn to China, or Japan, or to Europe, one can within the period of history begin with the time when every stranger was an enemy. Nations are only aggregations of individuals, and what is essentially good fot the individual is good for the nation, and what is essentially bad for the average individual is bad for the nation, and as fighting and waste of property and debt are admittedly bad for the individual, they must also be bad for the na­ tions and the only question is one of time when the nations will find a cheaper and more effective and more sensible method of settling their disputes than by war. In fact, at the end of every war, the disputes are finally settled by a conference, anyhow.—Charles Erskine Scott Wood in the November Pacific Monthly. hh Second Claaa Matter.
