lincourage The absence of homes and home life such as pre
liome Building, vail throughout the United States is the most
striking condition that appeals to the average American, and is
the matter that most deeply impresses our statesmen from the
mainland.
Our population here is of the two extremes U here is an over
whelming number of common laborers ns compared to the middle
class, while the heads of the grout industrial enterprises are uble
progressive men.
It is absolutely essential that we'havethe common laborer here
in great numbers for the purpose of carrying on the industries of
this country. It is essential that we foster these industries and
do everything possible to encourage their continued prosperity
and further progress, but while this is being done it must not be
forgotten that we must have a large percentage of independent
home owners who directly gain their sustenance from the soil
owned by them in fee simple.
Much has been written of the small farmer. Some of the su
gestions were intelligent many were otherwise. About the first
thine that a nractical man enquires for is to see the results of the
successful farmer before he buys land for the purpose of farming.
If ho is told that there are no successful farms here but that all
are experimental he will very wisely move on.
Until recently this was true of nearly all agricultural enterprises
in the territory except as to cane, taro, rice and small truck gar
dening. Recently pineapples have becomo a source of revenue to
those engaged in that line and there seems to be good reason for
believing that tobacco and rubber will be a source of profit to
those engaged in those lines.
There is no question but that coffee would be a source of profit
if a protective tariff were placed on the commodity as is the case
with sugar.
The sugar industry would soon go to the wall if the tariff were
removed. The coffee industry has gone to the wall as a result of
the failure of Congress to pass a protective tariff. A tariff on coffee
would be the means of inducing hundreds of families to settle here
and fill a void that is most apparent. It may be idle to urge the
passage of such a measure and yet it is the solution of one of the
most difficult problems which confronts the islands today.
The encouragement of those industries that may be carried on
by the industrious tiller of the toil is the greatest need of Hawaii
and the one thing that must be done if Hawaii is to become in
truth as well as in name a part of the great republic to which she
belongs.
The Strike. The Japanese laborers at Aiea and Waipahu have
pone on a strikef at what seems to be clearly the dictation of agita
tors who have everything to gain and nothing to lose. It is un
derstood that these agitators will receive a certain percentage of
the increased wages that the laborers may receive if they should
receive an increase. If there is no increase then the agitators are
just where they were before while the laborers will not be.
The planters will not be dictated to by the Japanese or any other
class of labor nor should they allow such a condition.
It is safe to say that most of the plantation men would listen to
any just complaint and treat the laborers fairly, but for the labor
to dictate to them what wages shall be paid, and who shall be dis
charged and who shall not, will never be acceeded to by the plair
tations.
The Japs on the striking plantations will probably be ordered to
leave the camps where they are now in idleness and their places
will be filled by persons of other nationalities.
The Japs may be doing the country a good turn by being the
the cause of extra efforts to get into the country a different class
of labor to what we, now have.
A few thousand more Portuguese laborers would be a great
boon to Hawaii.

Strike Gold
Charles Bailey Locates Rich
Vein.
News has liccn received here of a
great strike of gold made in Nevada
by a numlxTof Hawaiian-liorn men,
who have lcen rewarded after years
of effort spent on a mine near Grass
Valley. Their operations were fi
nanced with Hawaiian capital,
Jeorge Wilcox of Kauai licing, it
is understood, one of the principal
backers. The Superintendent of tlu
mine is Charles Uailey, horn on
Maiii, who is the son of Father
Uailey. who for ninny years was
ngaged in missionary work on Maui
during the early days.
The Morning I'nion of Grass Val
ley and Nevada City, in its issue of
April 10 contains the following ac
count of the strike:
Yes, we are still taking out r
little rock every day," said Super
intendciit Bailey of the Central-
Consolidated yesterday, smiling hap
pily-
His answer was in response 'to
question regarding the rich pay
chute struck in the big property
April 1st- Mr: Bailey's answer and
his beaming countenance conveyet
far more than apiicared on the sur-
. He is the last man in the
world to Inmst, ami his guardci
statement only tells a portion of the
story, as it is known that rich speci
men ore is being extracted, as stated
by the Union yesterday.
Mr. Bailey confirmed the state
ment in yesterday's Union that the
ore is being sorted and a portion
sacked for shipping to a smelter
The rock which demands this treat
ment carries big values which can
not be obtained to advantage by
milling. The ledge is a big one, as
are all the veins in the Central-Con
solidated, and a good portion of the
hanging wall is left intact, taking
the place of timlx'rs.
During the course of his niter
view iUr. Uailey stated that lie was
just getting in where he wanted to
be five years ago, his early tunnel
work haviug convinced him that
the once famous Duval ore chute
lay in the ground which he is now
breaking into south of the shaft
where an immense territory of vir
gin ground lies wholly unexplored
Mr. Bailey has great . faith in the
property, having taken hold of it
nine years ago, somewnat prior t
the time the present company or
ganized and procured such an ini
mense acreage. The twejity-stamp
mill is running constantly on ' good
ore and every indication points to
the full realization of the plucky
superintendent's highest hopes. In
teresting developments in the shape
of plans for increased activity at the
mine may be expected before a great
while.
