FORTY -E IGHT ! i YEAR NO. 26, STABILITY BRINGS PEAGEANDPLENTY TOISLANDERS Ir> this second letter about Hawaii I will give my impressions o f the economic and political conditions which prevail an the islands, us gathered in the few dny3 it haa been my privilege to study them, Hawaii is organized into four coun­ ties with municipal and county gov­ ernment modeled along mainland sys- ' terns; it elects a legislature which makes the lurvs according to provi­ sions o f the Organic Act, the Consti­ tution fo r the Territory that was. framed hy Congress, The Governor of; the Territory and the higher judiciary offices are filled by apointment o f the President o f the United States sub­ ject to confirmation by the United States Senate. The City and County government o f Honolulu is hgaded by a mayor, and municipal laws are made hy a Board o f Supervivors. In may respects the government o f Honolulu is siihilar to that o f San. Francisco, California, where City and County governments are also combined. In 1025, Hawaii will celebrate its 25th birthday as a territory o f the United States. Its growth since 1900, politically, culturally and * commer­ cially is a demonstration that the faith o f legislators who launched the island group on its career as a unit ,of the United States has not been mis­ placed. The local government is almost ex­ clusively in the hands o f Hawaiian's including in this group those of mix- o f Hawaiian and American stock, stabilized by a governor and other o f­ ficers. appointed from Washington. The population figures, show that the native Hawaiians represent less than one tenth o f the total inhabitants, bti they are born politicians and seem to have had no trouble in maintaining their ascendency politically up to this time at least. A few population figures will he . interesting at this point, which will show how complex the political prob lem is. In 1923 the territory had a popula­ tion o f 298,500. .There Were Havvaians to the number o f 21,468; Caueasian- fiawaiin, 12,514; Portuguese, 26,377; Porto Rican, 6,375; Spanish, 2,105; American, British, 35,774; Chinese, 23,714; Japanese, 120,580; Filipino, 38,199;; with many other nations rep resented. It should be remembered that every child bom on the islands since 1900; when annexation with the United States was completed, is an American citizen, with all the rights and pri­ vileges of the ballot and office holding It has been computed that by 1928 the voters o f Japanese ancestry will outnumber all o f the other races com binod, and the question which the local people are asking themselves is, “ What will these Japs then do with their new found power?” I will not discuss this question now. but will reserve it for another letter, bu watnt to say a few words about economic conditions as compared with some other localities in similar climes which it has been my privilege to visit. In my thoughts of conditions her* in Honolulu my mind has often re­ verted to visits which I have made to Mexico City, in Mexico, and to Hav­ ana in Cuba, and I have found the com plirison all in favor o f Honolulu. Compared with the two other cities mentioned, there is only prosperity and little i f any poverty hero. There is idleness, but it ijj the idelncss o f plenty, climatic conditions make life easy here. In the days before civilization came the natives did not work, and now they do not understand why, i f civi­ lization is a benefit, they should find it necessary to toil day after day when it isn't necessary. A s a result native labor cannot be depended on fo r more than a day or two a t ft time, the rest o f tile time being spent in indolence, singing and Iplaying the native songs and living (the life e f ease. I But this situation is being gradually corrected by education, and there aro now many ve.y capable and -inteUi-- gent native Hawaiiana who are stren­ uously urging their people to a strong* er and consistent striving toward the ( preservation o f their race, which nu-j merically has been decreasing very| rapidly until it is now threatened with extinction.

State and federal workers announce this In a review of the past year’s work. The Ohio campaign started in 191S, and to date 08 counties in Ohio have been thoroughly covered. In all, 9,032 plantings containing 262,856 barberry plants, have. been discovered and re­ moved. ■ Scouts are already at work in the northeastern part of the state where the campaign will be carried on this year. ■ ''U In 1922 the estimated loss in Cham­ paign county from this disease . was nearly twice the total cost of to e sur­ vey and eradication work in Ohtq for five years.
