X " THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER ' MThe Conditions in the Territory of Hawaii Re- : quire Federal Attention i ‘By JAMES D. PHELAN, Former Senator From California. The conditions in the Territory of Hawaii require federal attention. The “gentlemen’s agreement”—that mongrel thing, neither treaty nor law—which was in- tended to save California without offending Japan, left Hawaii unproteated. - There was no restriction put up- on immigraf_ n there, | . ' Hawaii was abandoned to the Japanese by the blundering policy of our government. How far the sugar planters may be responsible for this is another question. They wanted labor. They spent millions in . immigration enterprises, seeking relief from Portugal, the Azores, the Philippines; and Portp Ri¢o. Some immigrants proved of 1o value. others fled to the continental United States, where the European ‘workers were welcome, Finally the Japanese, beginning in 1885, were permitted to come, and now, by immigration and birth, compose about one-half ‘the entire population of this American territory. The Chinese are barred by the exclusion law. Briefly, the question of Hawaii is: Of what value are the islands to ‘the United States, and to what extent do the Japanese depreciate their ‘value? Hawaii is an indispensable base for American naval operations. The menace in the Pacific is from Japan, ambitious and aggressive. It is in- ‘eonsistent with our national interests to harbor in the islands a people, ‘mow. composing one-half their entire population, who owe loyalty and military service to Japan and cannot be Americanized, The Japanese born on the soil are American citizens by the Consti= ‘fution. .As a matter of fact, Japan claims and holds them to a strict al- \legiance to herself. In the Hawaiian trouble last year, the first opportun- ity for observation, the native Japanese, who professed American predilec- tions, took orders from Japan through the “Imperium in Imperio” pre- sided over by the consular service. A Japanese born on the soil before he attains seventeen years of age can theoretically renounce his Japanese citi- zenship provided Japan consents. That is the joker. Japan, rarely asked, never consents. Because they are born in the sugar plantations of Hawaii a brood of Japanese, formidable in numbers, are now free to come to continental United States, where they can own and lease land and lay deep the founda- tion of an alien colony, already a menace.

C., among the long list of war victims. The American Legion is endeavoring in the person of Sergt. Samuel Glucksman, mem- ber of the Ameri- ean “Devil Dogs” during the war and decorated by al &7 Doth the Ameri- can and allled gowvernments, to assist the unfortunate ex-service men in finding thelr relatives. Haywara Thompson—at least that Is what he is now called—Is one of the most pecullur cases. He hus for- gotten who he is. In his head Is an ugly shrapnel wound. HIs mewmory goes buack to January 22, 1922, when he arrived at a hotel In Denver, with a bill in his pocket from one of the most expensive hotels in Colorado Springs. His memory, he now helleves, lapsed somewhere, elther far bnck fn France or on the trip between Colo- rado Springs and Denver. Thompson remembers having had $1,200 in hls pocket and access to many thousands more, *In searching Washington records for some trace of the lost man, it was found that a certain Hayward Thomp- son enlisted in the Marine corps June 6, 1918, and was discharged Junuary 6, 1810. He had a wife and three children at Flemington, Mo, and a8 mother, Mrs. Louise Thompson, at Chicngo. The man with a shrapuel wound in his head and no memory of any relatives at all, telegraphed in great eagerness to Flemington, Mo, and ‘to. Chicago. He received no answer, Not so0 long ago a clean-cut young man appeared at a Los Angeles hospl- tal. He wore an American Leglon button. When questioned as to who he was he stated he did not know. ] think I am thirty-two years old,” he sald,, “I am five feet, nine inches and welgh 130 pounds. My eyes ure gray’ and I have blond hair.

If any one can tell me who I am, or anything about niy pasty: please let me know.” The Los Augeles post of the Legion is mak- ing. every effort to help the man'find himself. Sy ) A third “unidentified living" lives at 785 North Thirty-first street, Louls- ville. He is known as Leonard Wells, to the neighborhood. His memory is hazy. He belleves that he enlisted in the old First Kentucky Infantry, and with the command was transferred to & replacement detachment and sent to France. His photograph wus for- warded to his company commandef, who recognized the face but did not récall a name. A machine gun Dullet had plerced his abdomen and injured lts spine. Another had injured the left shoulder cap. No compensation or insurance can be awarded to this man, the Veterans' bureau regrets, un- til his identity can be established. " France, it is said, has six of these | “unidentified” living ex-service men. o ——— - - - v cam i - -y o Although born &n Austrin, Sergeant Glucksman enlisted with the marines at the outbreak of the war and al- though too modest to-tell the story of s achievements while fighting agninst the Germans, the American Leglon at Washingtondiscovered that Glucksman fought in geven major en- gagements, Verdun, Bellequ Woods, Chateau Thierry, Marbach, St. Mihjel, Solssons and Mont-13lanc. On the mornlng of} October 3,°1918, Scrgeant Glucksman started out to get waier for his comrpdes. He returned without the water but with 20 Ger- mans and a painful wound. The “Devil Dog” sergeanit captured a lone German and instead!of bayoneting his captive forced him to lead him to the rest of the advancé party. Coming onto the whole batch of 20, Sergeant tlucksman waved-a‘hand grenade and vrdered them all out of the shell hole they were occupying and into the armg of his American comrades. By cxecutive appointment Glucksman is now employed at the)navy yard at Portswmouth, N. H. Savage Tribes Revered:the Cross, From the early days of* the church the cross was a usual emblem of Christian faith and hope. The first Christians showed great respect for its significance, with St. Paal *“glorying in the eross of our Lord Jesus Christ.” They used the gestural sign of the cross extensively. ‘Tertullian wrote in the Second century: “At every step and movement, when we go in or out, when we dress or put on our shoes, at the bath, at the table, when the 1lights are brought, when we go to bell, when we sit down, whatiever it is that occuples us, we mark theyforehead with the sign of the cross.” ’ Even before the Christian era the cross was an object of redigious venera- tlon among savage tribes. “The death of Christ gave it & new meaning. Just to Keep Busy. The son of a well-known physician loves to “play doctor.” The little fellow niakes the:rounds of neighboring houses, inquiring as to the health of the inmates. Usually he has with him an assortment of dolls—his “patients” in lieu of larger ones, Recently he called at & home and asked: “Anybody ill here?” He was answered in the negative. “Oh, well,” he sald, with profes- slonal nonchalance, producing two of his dolis; ‘Ll leave a couple’of ba-: bles. anywayl” " YOUR HOUSE OF HAPPINKSS Take what God gives, O heart of mine, And build your house of happiness. Perchance some have been given more; But you have been given less.

Y. Willlams in Ladles' Home Journal. ROMAN WOMAN, FIRST NURSE On Record in History as Establishing Convalescent Home for the Poor A. D. 380. The word “nurse” s derived from the Latin, and means “to nourish.” There is no reference to a sick nurse in the Bible, although numerous chil- dren’s nurses are mentioned. Fablola, the first nurse recorded lnl history, was a Roman woman who established a hospital and convales- cent home for the poor after her con- version to Christianity, about A. D. 380. She inaugurated a society of rich women, and had them trained 8s sick nurses. Nurses, who are addressed as “sister” on account of the old religious traditions associated with their work, lost their professional dignity in 1544, when twelve women were engaged at St. Bartholomew's hospital, London, to nurse the sick and perform menial work. From that time nurses were un- trained, until the doctors at the New York hospital began to lecture tliem ; on “scientific cleanness” in 1790. Fliedner, at Kaiserwerth, Germany, opened the first sclentific training school for nurses in 1836. Florence Nightingale was trained at his estab- lishment, and introduced his methods into England. “Missing Link” Still Missing. I think every palaeontologist of the world now admits that not a single missing link has been discovered be- low man, and that we know even less concerning the origin of man than we thought we did formerly. . . .

Panallel evolution being a fact, all of us can accept it, even the layman and the orthodox clergyman. All can readily admit, for instance, that every human being has 28 bones in his_cranium, identical with those of reptilia and amphibia. Beyond that fact, no one need admit or deny origin, but merely stand pat or pick out his own ancestor. . . . All past theorles of descent having been abandoned for want of connecting links, we. find our- gelves just where Agassiz left mat- ters, with only his doctrine of mul- tiple origin with which to tle—W.

In 1854 the “Black Warrior,” a steamship be- longing to United States citizens, was seized in the harbor of Havana, and declared confiscated. The proceedings aroused - feeling against Spain, and diplomatic exchanges took place at Madrid, the owners demanding in- demnification of $300,000. The Spanish government proved reluctant and at length the Ostend conference was held to adjudicate the matter. The vessel was finally released on payment by the owners of a fine of $6,000, and amicable relations with Spain were restored. Job Led lIsrael-Out of Egypt. A northern visitor was playing golf on one of the Florida winter resort courses this spring, where the cad- dies were largely colored boys. Most of the boys he found to be deeply re- liglous. It is open to question whether they read the Bible them- selves or nabsorbed most of their knowledge through thelr ears, listen- ing to their clders. The northerner and his caddy were walking down the falrways. “You know considernble about the Bible, Henry,” the player said, “I suppose you khow that when Jonah led the children of Isrnel out of the land of Egypt it took them almost a lifetime to get to theipromised land.” “No," sir,” ‘the colored boy replled, “that wasn't Jonah what led the Israels. Jonah never done that. It was Jo ¢ Personally Delivered Egg. A Saskatchewan farmer don’t know whether it is odd or not, but the other morning on getting up and going to the door, he found an egg on the door- step.

It is convenient to put the relations between the sexes first on the list of subjects about which the French and Anglo-Saxon races think and | behave differently, because it is the difference which strikes the superficial observer first, and which has been most used in the attempt to pro@e the superior purity of Anglo-Saxon morals. But French outspokenness would not be interesting if it applied only to sex questions, for savages are outspoken about those, too. The French attitude in that respect is interesting only as typical of the general intel- lectual fearlessness of France.

'DATES BACK TO STONE AGE English Industry, Still Carried On, Estimated to Be Nine Thou- ® sand Years Old. Hearts Differ' With Individuals. “Phe student insistently demands a description of what he is pleased ta call a ‘normal heart.” There is real: 11y no such entity as a normal heart said Dr, Louis Faugeres Bishop in an nddress before the Medical society of the greater city of New York. “The nenrest approach can be found in a heart which is normal to the person carrying it. The heart of a laborer would be abnormal to a bookkeeper, and the heart of a tall, thin man would be a strange finding in the chest of a short, fat person.” Dr. Bishop was urging the examina- tion of hearts by fluoroscopy, which While sclence and invention have blotted out many of the old and time- honored industries in the country, some still exist which not only date back centuries, but succeed in hold- ing their own against their modern rivals, remarks London (it-Bits.

OLMSTEAD Factory Representative 208 Second Street years ago the dwellers in the Stone and Neolithle ages discovered that the ground in this district was full of flints, which they proceeded to un- earth and fashion into polished tools and weapons. That was at least 9,000 years ago. Today the industry still flourishes, and it is belleved that the Brandon “flint-knappers” are the direct de- scendants of those oldtime workers. In thelr work they use curiously shaped iron picks, closely resembling reindeer’s horns, which, as a matter of fact, were the tools used by the Stone age workers. The flint is found in large blocks. which are left to dry and then bro- ken into pieces ‘six inches square. These, in turn, are shaped with ham- mers, and then trimmed.
