The record must not be omitted , for it was none other than that for the first time in the history o f Of kings and the world a reigning sovereign , o wn in his royal person , put a girdle around e th earth . The intrigue It was certainly as inter national as any international intrigue could be . Also , it was equally as dark , while it was precisely in alignment with the future con flic tin f g courses of empires . Mani est destiny n was more than incidentally concerned . Whe 9 1 0 THE NEW HAWAII the manifest destinies o f two dynamic races move o n ancient and immemorial lines toward each other from east to west and west to east l o f along the same paralle s latitude , there is ’ an inevitable point o n the earth s surface where they will collide . In this case , the races were the Anglo - Saxon (represented by the Americans) , and the Mongolian (represented by the Japanese) . The place was Hawaii , the I v o f o ely and lovable, beloved countless many ” as Hawaii Nei . Kalakau a , despite his merriness , foresaw clearly , either that the United States would or absorb Hawaii , that , allied by closest marital ties to the royal house o f the Rising w i Sun , Ha aii could be a brother kingdom n . saw an empire That he clearly , the situation d ei f to ay attests . Hawaii N is a territory o the United States . There are more Japanese resident in Hawaii at the present time than are s re ident other nationalities , not even excepting the native Hawaiians . The figures are eloquent . In round numbers , - five there are twenty thousand pure Hawaiians , - fiv e twenty thousand various Caucasians , - twenty three thousand Portuguese , twenty one thousand Chinese , fifteen thousand MY HAWAIIAN ALOHA 1 1 of Filipinos , a sprinkling many other breeds , of an amazing complexity intermingled breeds , t and ninety thousand Japanese . And , mos amazingly eloquent o f all statistics are those of the race purity o f the Japanese mating . 1 9 1 4 - is In the year , the Registrar General authority for the statements that one American male and one Spanish male respectively married o ne e Japanese females , that Japanese mal - o r - married a Hapa Haole , Caucasian Hawaiian female, and that three Japanese males married pure Hawaiian females . When it comes to an innate antipathy towards mongrelization , the dominant national in Hawaii , the Japanese , proves himself more j ealously exclusive by far than any other national . Omitting the records o f all the other nationals which go to make up the amazing mongrelization of races in this - of o f smelting pot the races , let the record - pure blood Americans be cited . In the same of 1 9 1 4 - year , the Registrar General reports that of American males wh o intermingled their n eleveh breed and seed with alie races , married - five pure Hawaiians , twenty married Cau - casian Hawaiians , three married pure Chinese , - o ne four married Chinese Hawaiians , and To su married a pure Japanese . m the sam e 1 2 THE NEW HAWAII thing up with a cross - bearing : in the same 1 9 1 4 Of e year , over eighteen hundred Japanes women who married , only two married outside their race ; o f over eight hundred pure Cau casian women who married , over two hundred intermingled their breed and seed with races of alien to their own . Reduced to decimals , the females who went over the fence o f race 2 5 ur to secure fathers for their children , of p e Caucasian women were guilty ; 0 01 4 of — Japanese women were guilty in vulgar frac ”! o ne tion, out of four Caucasian women ; one t o f ou one thousand Japanese women . Kalakau a King , at the time he germinated of his idea, was the royal guest the Mikado in a special palace which was all his to lodge in, l along with his suite . But Ka akaua was resolved upon an international intrigue which sa was , to y the least, ethnologically ticklish ; o f while his suite consisted two Americans , one, i i 1 921 b Bi M Stat stics comp led in y the shop useum, of Hono u six i l lu, show that one out of every women of Caucasian b rth in the Territory of Hawaii marries a Hawaiian or part Hawaiian and other figures prove that a large perc entage of part- Hawaiian women - S marry either Hawaiians or part Hawaiians . till another large C c C fi proportion marries au asians or hinese . Further, the gures o c k e a se illustrate that the new st is b tter able to withst nd disea , in i r u and is, that sense, more v go o s than its Hawaiian ancestors, as fic . It c r well as more proli is the creation of a new ra e, st ong, i and c i u - vir le, produ tive ; wh le the p re blo oded Hawaiians steadily c de rease in numbers . MY HAWAIIAN ALOHA 1 3 Colonel C . H . Judd, his Chamberlain , the other , i . Ar Mr W lliam N . mstrong, his Attorney o ne o f General . They represented the race manifest destinies , and he knew it would never do for them to know what he had up his i . 1 8 8 1 k ngly sleeve So , on this day in , he gave o ut o f them the royal slip , sneaked the palace ’ to the back way , and hied him the Mikado s palace .
