SAYS
Uofore an nssombly of fifty mon
who dined nt tho Y. M. C. A. Sundny
night, Georgo Glenson, a Y. M. C. A.
worker stationed in Osaka, Japan, ox
piosscd very decided views upon tho
Japanese-American war scaro nnd
gave substantial proof of tho utter Im
possibility of a war, wero tho Japan
ese inclined to promote friction.
"In tho first plncc," said ho, "the
regard which tho Japancso have for
America is gcnulno and sincere. They
look upon tho Amoricnns as tho peo
ple who opened up tholr country and
brought it into contact with Western
life. In tholr eyes Wo assume the
status of touchers, and a war with iu
would bo a breach of tho fundamental
ethical conceptions of tho people.
"In the second place, it would be
financially Impossible for npan to carry
on an extended campaign. Tho debt
upon tho country is about $1,000,000,
000, or $20 per capita, and it must be
remembered that tho average annual
Income In Japan among tho working
people 'Is not much above $20."

Fort Shatter a year ago, changed his
mind about fighting the case. After
considering tho array of witnesses
against him and the fact that the Gov
ernment had brought one of them from
Utah, he threw up his hands this
morning and decided to tako his medi
cine. Tho caso was set to be tried today,
but Alonzo came into court and with
drew his plea of not guilty, substitut
ing a plea of guilty. Judge Dole sen
tenced him to three mcnths in jail
and to pay a flno of $1 nnd costs.
Tho costs will amount to several
hundred dollars but Alonzo, after
serving his three month sentence, will
probably take tho poor convict's odth,

be released.

SIDEWALK BLOCKED.
Some day, perhaps, a long-suffering
Honolulu public will demand that tho
excellent sidewalk on Queen street,
now utilized as a storing place for tho
City Mill Company's lumber, bo put
to its proper aiso. For months now
tho City Mill Company has rendered
this excellent piece of concreto side
walk Impassable by blocking it with
their lumber. Tho street has always
been in a disgraceful stato and pedes
trians using it either had to wado
through mud or tramp through dust.
Now the road is torn up and in a
shocking condition. To make It worse,
a pump is at work sucking water out
of a hole, which renders tho street
Impassablo to vehicles. Pedestrians
going to tho Tenyo Maru this morn
ing had to walk into the street to ?ot
around tho obstructing lumber of the
City Mill Company. The company
put out planks for people to walk
on, but tho planks wero wet and
muddy and It was Impossible to get
across dry shod.
THE GREATEST MISTAKE. I
Editor Star: In tho Sundny edition
of the Advertiser of yesterday's date .
there is a letter supposed to havo
been written from tho Delegate to the
Bev. Stephen L. Desha re politics. In
my opinion it Is a call for Hawailans
to rally againtt the "whites," or other
words "race prejudice."
This is tho greatest mistake the Ha
waiian could over make, and in the
course of a few days It is my inten
tion to write to some of tho leading
Hawailans drawing their attention to
this fact. ' As a resident ot these is
lands for nearly threo decades, my in
tention is to promote tho best of har
mony between all races, but let the
race issue increase it will he tho Ha
wailans who will suffer.
