Soma of them go to the Is lands, work there awhile nnd then come to the state. Once In Hawaii there Is nothing to prevent them com lug to the mainland of the United States. The Immigration authorities have discovered that sotno ot tlm Japanese hotcl-hcoiors lu Honolulu make n bus Iness of Inducing Japanese laborers who land on tho Islands to come to the United States, Indicating to thorn that they can get very much better wages lu the states than they can on the Istsnds. in Hawaii, laborers on limitations receive n maximum of $18 n month.

Tho Hawaiian hotel keepers who net as contractors nro a pretty thrif ty lot. They sometimes get a coin mission from the Immigrants thcni' selves for procuring them "Job's' In this country and they nlways arc paid n stiff commission by tho steamship companies which curry the Imml grants from Hawaii to the statos. Their trade, while It may bo unlawful, Is comparltlvcly easy to ply and they aro enabled to mnko good their prom ises to the Immigrants, because the Industrial conditions prevailing at tho present time, particularly In the Htato of Washington and In Alaska, creates an enormous demand for labor. What action, If nuy tho government may tako to put n stop to tho practice of tho Hawaiian contractors hat not been determined. It Is recognized tli?t many dimcultlcs aro In the way of cf fectlvo action, because ot tho pructl nil Impossibility of obtaining direct evidence ot u violation of Inw.

T)iero Is much political activity In Oklahoma Incident to the prelimina ries of organizing the now State. Uoth democrats nnd republicans are organ izing for the prent battle ahead which will decide the control of the new State government, but not uninter esting Is tho contest over the Inevlt nblo liquor question. Under tho ena bling net passed by tho recent con gress, tho Indian Territory part of the State will remain dry for n num ber of yenrs. but Oklahoma has dur ing the terrltorln period enjoyed lo cal option. Now the anti-saloon league will en deavor to have prohibition written In the constitution and the Issue Is easily the most trouhloftomo one which has so fnr mnde Its appearance. Since, con gress ahs forced prohibition upon nearly half the urea of the now. State, It Is argued that the members oi tnc constitutional convention from the In dian Territory will Ignore the real principles Involved and combine with the Oklahoma prohibitionists for the purpose of placing every foot of the new state nix) tithe wiino basis, as regards the liquor traffic. Otherwise It In argued, Oklahoma City will en- Joy advantages that will eventually tll ((gainst Muskogee, Adinore, and other cities In the regions made dry by congressional enactment. (V .We do not know, of course, Just how weighty such arguments may; prove, but It Is a well known fact that In many n Texas county which ho gone "dry" the result nas been brought nbout lnrgely through the votes ot the nntl-prohtbltlonUts of the smaller towns who were nctu ated by no motive other than forcing prohibition on the entire county to keep trade from being drawn from "dry" towns to "wet" towns. It may be that the nntl-prohlbltlonlsta of tho Indian Territory region will net upon similar motives. Nevertheless, In commencing her new enreer, Oklahoma might well un dertake n more pormancnt nnd satis factory solution of tno liquor prob lem. It. might, for Instance, try tho experiment of precinct local option, n plan which would put nn end to tno frequently recurring county elections. TIiIb would nt leaBt give real local self-government, upon which principle the local option plan Is supposed to rest but n principle which Is violated whonevor one precinct Ib enabled to forco Its' wIsIiob on somo other pre cinct. There has been so much noise, con tention, distraction and turmoil over tho liquor question, that Oklahoma would perform n great national ser vice uy devising n law rendering full Justice to all concerned and thus set an oxiimnle by which other states might profit In tho direction of law. order, poaco and good will. There can bo no doubt thnt the new State Is splendidly equipped with construc tive statesmen, gathered from all parts of the country, und it would seem that mil of the councils of these men ome rntlonnl solution of n great problem might be confidently looked for.
