The large political issue in Hawaii is that of Statehood. The Democrats declared for it in the last campaign and at the election in November made inroads on the overwhelming Republican ma- Jority in the Islands. It is freely stated by close observers that had the campaign continued for ten days more, Lincoln McCandless, the Democratic nominee for Delegate to Congress, would have de- feated Victor S. K. Houston, who was re-elected to that office as a Republican. Delegate Houston took notice of the growing sentiment for admission to the Union, and de- clared that he would be governed in Congress by the Republican Territorial Committee. A meeting of that organizatitn held last winter at Honolulu declared in favor of Statehood, and the Delegate introduced a Statehood bill in Congress. The Ter- ritorial Legislature passed a Statehood reso- lution before it adjourned in April. Gov. Judd vetoed it, so the issue will be livelier than ever. Statehood is opposed generally by the so-called “big interests”—the sugar and pineapple ‘“barons.” ‘Their objection is based on the preponderance of Orientals in the Territory. They do not fear that the Orientals would cause international trou- bles on account of their racial connections with Asia, but allege that they detect symptoms of radicalism among them. It should be said hers that the “big interests” are by no means unanimous in their opposition to Statehood. Lincoln McCandless, Democratic leader, who is in the front rank among the Statehood advocates, is heavily interested in sugar, pine- apples and land. He is a member of the famous ., McCandless brothers, of whom one is “Sunny Jim" McCandless, who not long ago, when supreme head of the Shriners, made a speaking tour throughout the United States and attracted wide attention to the Islands, their resources and attractions, and to himself as a wit and humorist as well as man of affairs. Lincoln is said to be the largest individual land owner in Hawail. The general feeling in Hawail is that the resi- dent Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, etc., who are American citizens, are as loyal to the United States as are the whites. In spite of what has been said to the contrary, a visitor in Honolulu detects not a symptom of disloyalty in the yellow races over there. There are few of them who have not attended American schools. More than half of those now attending school in the Islands are Japanese—39,115 out of a total of 73,180. Other races in the schools are: Hawailan and part Ha- walian, 11,000; Chinese, 6,706; Portuguese, 6,091; Fllipinos, 3344; Anglo-Saxons, 2993; Porto Ricans, 1,163; Spanish, 258; others, 7T91. Both of the English language daily news- papers of Honolulu fayor Statehood. They profess ultimate confidence in the patriotism, good faith and good sense of the Oriental citizens. The prevailing language among the American born people of all races is English, Those who at- tend schools are taught patriotism and loyalty to the United States just as are the school children in the States. The school system is admittedly sec- ond to few, if any, under the American flag. They have schools everywhere including magnifi- eent high schools and several colleges and uni- versities. Many of the leading lawyers, physiclans and surgeons, teachers, college professors, news- paper writers, bankers, merchants, etc., are of the Oriental races. There is, in fact, little or no dis- _ tinctions on account of race. The races intermarry and mix socially to a growing extent. This applies | probably, more particularly to the native racial ' Hawaiians than to the Orientals. There are more ‘part Hawailan than full bloods of that race, ac- cording to the recent census reports. There are more of Anglo-Saxon and Hawallan mixed blood than of Hawalian and Oriental mixture. : The Legislature of Hawaii usually contains mem- | bers of all races and nationalities; Anglo-Saxons, . Hawaiians, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese, etc. However, the voters do not divide according to race. Legislative districts that are preponderantly Anglo-Saxon frequently give majorities to Japanese or Chinese candidates. Districts that are prepond- \ Sfintly Oriental usually give majorities to Anglo- s or Hawalians. /4 However, it will bg noted from this brief sum- ‘mary that experimentation is not wholly removed from among governmental problems in Hawail. Recognition of that fact makes a large part of the " business people, of all races, doubtful of the ex- . pediency of immediate Statehood, notwithstanding that the politicians of both parties are now com- " mitted to it. 3 Questions of resources end volume of business . and education and institutions of civilization are not involved in the Statehood issue. In all these i respects the Territory takes high place, and she " is growing fast and is prosperous. Her people are ! and devotedly attached to their Islands. pants—a sort of slow race, as it were, for the Reds, | Browns and India Manners. (The Commonweal) Prohibitionists—or some similar word descrip- tive of a pathological condition approaching if it does not actually cross the line separating normal mentality from aberration—may yet become a sub- ject for scientific study, if some recent performanc- es of the more extreme type of the Volsteadians may be regarded as typical. An Associated Press despatch from New Orleans, for example, described how at a luncheon in honor of Dr. McBride, sup- erintendent of the Anti-saloon League, the Rever- end E. O. Ware, another official of the Anti-saloon League, “sald he did not think it would be sinful to pray for the death of all the ex-brewers in the United States.” “What we need,” he added, “is more first-class funerals among the enemies of prohibition.” Well, many of the prohibition agents are doing what they can to oblige the Reverend E. O. Ware. But perhaps the most astounding case of the one-sided view of the prohibition prob- lem taken by its champions is afforded by the ac- tion of Senator Jones who, in distributing a rabid dry statement by a Dr. Arthur MacDonald, of Wash- ington, D. C., published in the Congressional Record of March 4, actually prints on the outside of his tranked envelopes the following Christian descrip- tion of all who venture to hold other opinions than those of the fanatical drys: “All criminals, bandits, ex-convicts and thugs; all street-walkers, harlots, prostitutes, and degenerates are against prohibi- tion. But the good church people, the humani- tarians, those who try to uplift and help others are for prohibition. Therefore, do not split hairs; (join one crowd or the other. As the Bible says, ‘Ye cannot serve God and mammon’.” Prohibition Chicago Methods in London. (New York Times) The stories of gang warfare which come out of Chicago have been regarded in England witl something of the attitude of a small boy toward a penny thriller—a combination of horror and en- tertainment .In commenting on the defeat of “Big Bill,” The London Morning Post congratu- lates Chicago on this gesture condemning the old lawless regime, but warns Londoners against point- ing the finger of reproach at Chicago. Various raids in ‘the Chicago manner have recently occurred in that city. One took place in the early morning in Kingsway, a main thorough- fare in the heart of London. A road-sweeper was held up at the point of a pistol, while two men smashed a shop window, snatched a number of watches and escaped in a waiting car. the fourth of a series of raids at the same place within the past six months, and there have been similar hold-ups in other districts of the city. The most alarming feature of this outbreak is the fact that the robbers have drawn guns and threatened to use them . In London, policemen do not carry firearms, the truncheon being their only weapon. So far they have proved extraordinarily efficient in maintaining order. The flourishing of pistols in the law-abiding streets of London seems almost incredible. The speed of the automobile getaway is a factor of such hold-ups to encourage bandits and baffle the police. But in her pursuit of criminals England has two aids which Chicago lacks—Scotland Yard and Edgar Wallace. A Friendless Tariff. (New York Times.) General Atterbury is the latest prominent Re- publican to take up his parable against the Hawley- Smoot tariff. To be sure, he did not mention that sacred document by name, but spoke emphatically about the folly of building tariff walls which “tend to separate the different countries into hermetically sealed compartments so far as commerce is con- cerned.” Even more emphatically he asserted that, of all countries in the world, the United States should be the last to fall back upon the complacent assumption that it is wholly “self-contained,” and has no need of exchanging products with other na- tions. Indeed, General Atterbury, who was dis- cussing. the business outlook, had no hesitation in declaring that “impediments to international trade are one of the greatest obstacles in the way of commercial recovery.” Such an utterance from a powerful Pennsylvania Republican ought to be cut out and sent to the two United States Senators from that State, with the request that they paste it in their hats for future reference. Other influential Republicans have expressed horrid doubts about the wisdom of the tariff which their party put through Congress and which their President signed. Even a man like Representative Snell, prominent in the House, and now a candidate for Speaker in the next Congress, has intimated that if he had to do it over again he would not vote for the high rates of the existing tariff law. Almost one is tempted to say that it has not a single friend left. publicity he got from his visit to the White House is groundless.
