Governor Approves Of Japanese In Schools
Department of Justice
Will Pass
On Immigration Act
SARGENT THINKS LAW NOT VIOLATED
"An a result, of my Investigation I
am convinced that nil the provisions
of the Territorial Immigration Act
have been compiled with In tho bring
ing of theso Portuguese Immigrants to
Hawaii. I do not bcllcvo that thcro
lias been any violation of the contract
labor law. But that is not for me to
pass on. Tho Department of Justice
will decide as to that. If there is any
question as to the propriety of bring
ing the immigrants here, It lies In tho
-validity or invalidity or the Territorial
Immigration Act. That will conic up
beforo the Department of Justice.
"I havo mado a very exhaustive In
vcstlgatlon Into all matters connected
with tho Importing nf theso Portu
guese, and especially Into any possible
violations of the contract labor laws.
I havo made searching Inquiries Into
whether or not these people come
here under contract to go to work for
any particular person or Arm, and as
to whether or not they aro free to go
where they please and to work for
whom they please. My conclusions
aro that they havo been brought hero
by tho Territorial Hoard of immigra
tion under tho special Immigration act
passed by tho Legislature. The mon
ey to pay for bringing them hero was
raised by subscription,, and they arc
free to-do as they please, now that
tho aro bcreT They aro undcr.no obli
gation, to work for anbody in particu
lar. They' signed no contract on tho
other side. Tho circulars which wc;o
distributed over thoro wero issued by
authority of tho Territory and merely
stated the prevailing rato of wages in
Hawaii and the inducements that were
offered Immigrants to conio to the isl
ands, go far as I can sec, everything
Is satisfactory In that respect,"
The above Is tho statement mado by
Immigration Commissioner V. P. Bar
gent this morning. Mr. Sargent has
practically concluded his labors hero
and -has had time to size tho situation
up fully. His Investigations, ho says,
have been very complete,
"I have taken testimony from every
body In any way connected with tho
matter, and all the testimony has been
given under oath. I have had before

In view of President Kooscvctt'K attitude nn the Japani'so question, and particularly In regard
to the education of Japanese children in tho American public schools, It Is of Interest to be able to
quote Governor Carter's Ideas on tho same subject. This Tho Bulletin Is enabled to do from the
Governor's Annual Report to tho Secretary of tho Interior, which wns sent to Washington seven
weeks ago, and which tho President has probably never hi en. Tho Governor says:
"There la nothing to deplore In the Increase of Japanese children. The Japanese are here pro
bably In large proportion to remain. Their natural Increase has besn very great and, as eight
years have elapsed alnce annexation, a large number of the Japaneie children now crowding Into
our schools have been born under the American flag. When these reach maturity they will have the
right of claiming American cltltenihlp. It Is, therefore, most Important that they should have full
opportunity of becoming equipped with the knowledge and habits of thought requisite to good
American citizenship. Apart from that consideration, It must be conceded that It Is the Inalienable
privilege of every child under the protection of the flag to enjoy the benefits of that public school
system which Is one of the chief glories of the American Commonwealth, and which, moreover, Ha
waii took as an Ideal long before admission and continues, as a part of the Union, with best endeav
ors to maintain."

AT WAIII BEACH
Plans For NewYear's Day

Formed
Commissioner of Immigration Sar-
Rent was asked this morning to give
tils Interpretation of that part or the
President's message which refers to
Hawaii, In which President Roosevelt
says that "whenever tho leaders In
the great industrial Industries of the
Islands adopt our Ideals and Join In
developing a middle class of substan
tial citizens, a way will bo round to
deal with tho Industrial and commer
cial problems of tho Territory."
A middle class of substantial citizens
Mr. Sargent Interprets as meaning in
dustrious people of small or modcriite
means, who shall own their own houicj
and bo good American citizens. "1
think the President means," said he,
"people such as those who have Just
arrived on tho Suverlfc, not merely
laborers who come to Hawaii to woilc
on the plantations. The President be
lieves in small land holdings, where
each man cultivates his own land and
makes his own living Hn wants peo
ple to coma here nnd ralso something,
besides cane. Ho wants them to bo
Independent. Ho thinks that the fu
ture of tho Hands depends upon hav
ing such n class, and ho Is ardently In
favor or Immigration to tho Islands
that will provide such n class. If Ha
waii will become a Territory semen
by this kind of people, she will bo
TREATED rightly by tTto President
end tho United 8tatci."
Mr. Sargent expressed regret that ho
had not had a chance to read tho wholti
of tho President's message. "I know
that It Is a strong nnd lgnrous one,'
he said, "and that President Roosctelt
has been deleting lots of tlmo and At
tention tu It for scvcrnl months, i t
hope that the peoplo or Honolulu will
not pass Judgment on it until lh!t-y
have had opportunity to read the
whole or IL I think they will find that
it is tho President's Intention to treat
Hawaii all right."

Applauds Sentiment As
Expressed By

"The President's message In regard
to the naturalisation of the Japanese'

country."
This was thi remark mado by Gover
nor Carter t i morning In response tu;
a question f ing what he thought of
the publlp' 1 accounts or President,!
Roosevell'j message to Congress lu

to say
"I am heartily In accord with tho
