R00SEVBLT AND IMMIGRANTS
FROM EUROPE.
So the European-Immigrant propo
sition, In cither ten thousand or ono
hundred thousand lots, is a fako?
And the European Immigrants
which Hawaii Beeks are the lnzzaronl,
the loafers, ot Europe?
This seems to he the gist of the
proclamation Issued by tho aggrega
tion parading Itself during the stay
of Secretary Garfield as the only
Simon-pure, dycd-ln-the-wool, life
branded RooscYcltlan Americans of
the Territory of Hawaii. Incident
ally these same persons declared that
the California mechanic nt Pearl
Harbor might do the community moro
harm than good.
Uut let us understand about this
fake European-Immigrant business.
Very recent history records that
President Roosevelt took n very act
ive personal Interest in the European
immigrant for Hawaii. '
There Is no disputing the espclal
efforts put forth jy the Federal Ad
ministration to assist Secretary At
kinson when he first went east on
the first European-immigrant mis
sion. We cannot be deceived as to tho
.intentions of the Federal Adminis
tration, when we know so well how
the President, the Secretary ot the
Treasury, and the heads of the bu
reaus did their utmost to make the
trip of Collector Stackable to Europe
a success.
There Is no fake about Hawaii
having expanded nearly n quarter of
a million dollars in enlisting nnd
transporting European immigrants la
Hawaii,
That Commissioner Frank P. Sar
gent has earnestly advocated tho Eu
ropean Immigrant for Hawaii and
made more than ono visit to tho Isl
ands to assist and promote the cause,
Is no dream.
Administration backing ot Euro
pean immigration has been openly
and actively in evidence all along
the line. Therefore, it it be true
that nothing can be good or right or
Just or American until it bears tho
'"OK" of President Roosevelt and the
executive department ot the Govern
ment, the 100,000-European-imml-grant
proposition is "there with the
goods."
As for the Iazzaront end of It, Mr.
Wheeler of California, the newly ap
pointed officer ot the Department of
Commerce and Labor, In a carefully
prepared address before California
business men, laid special stress ou
the fact that the Immigrants coming
from Europe today are, not tho dregs
of the several countries, but tho
young men, the best blood, of the
nations.
Now all this may bo n fake, but
we doubt It. More than that, the
record proves it to be very true.
We should have moro confidence In
the good Intentions ot the men who
are blown-tn-the-bottle Americans for
the benefit of Secretary Garfield, It
their record were more clear from
taint, and they did not find it neces
sary to build up their own cause by
attempting to tear down a movement
'that has been endorsed by our people
through their Legislature, tho bus
iness men, the largo interests, the
small interests, 'nnd tho Administra
tion In Washington.
The Territorial Board of Immigra
tion, organized under on act ot the
Hawaiian Legislature, Is the clear
record ot what tho people ot this Ter
ritory think of European immigra
tion. The employment ot Mr. Trenor
is proof ot the determination to make
every effort to get the 100,000 Im
migrants from Europe by one route
or another.
The closer one gets at the facts of
'the situation in Hawaii, the more
certainty there is that the people
who, are striving to plume them
selves with all tho virtues of Amer
icanism are making a. mighty poor
fist of It when they 'feel called upon
to attack the European immigrant In

10,000 nnd 100,000 lots for tho Ter
ritory of Hawaii.
Let us not forget that these Amer
icans who condomn the European im
migrants ns loafeis arc tho Identical
persons who have turned on tho tour
ist with the "one-lunger" Bneer, de
cided that the California mechanic
might do the community mora harm
than good, nnd naively suggested not
long ugo that "tho Hindu is a pretty
good laborer."
Tho European immigrant does not
shut out tho American farmer, nor
does ho prevent tho cltlzons ot Ha
waii from obtaining.lana.
The alleged Americanlzers of Ha
waii, when analyzed down to their
real hopes. Intentions, and aspira
tions, don't want Hawaii American
ized, and they know It.
Taking it all In all, wo fall to note
that 100,000 tourists nnd 100,000
European Immigrants for Hawaii call
forth any Bnorts of rage from tho
men who want to promote tho devel
opment ot these Islands on tho tra
ditional American lines.
It is a pretty good platform to
Btand on.

NEW LAND LAWS
(Continued from Pace 1)
numerous Instances tho skilled
branches of field and mill work Is be
ing performed by Asiatics much to tho
detriment and discouragement of the
citizen-laborers who havo been thus
superceded. We believe tho existence
nt this system on American soil, asso
ciating as It does, servility with labor,
Imposes an Insurmountable obstaclo
to the healthy development of tho is
land on tho traditional American
lines.
Wo bollevo that tho correction for
theso abnormal conditions lies large
ly In tho radical reformation ot our
land laws. These laws, which aro n
heritage from the oligarchy which

nourished hero tirlor tn annexation
olid which tuo notoriously ini-Aiiiorl-can,
were shackled upon us by tho
Organic Act. They invest the Execu
tive of the Territory with Inordinate
discretionary powers In tho adminis
tration of tho public domain. Olicro
tlonary and discriminating being In
this InBtnnco nt least, correlative
terms,-It can bo readily Imagined that
abuses havo been extensively prac
ticed under such n system. That this
Is not altogether a mntter for tho Im
agination, however, we can cite num
erous Instances, attested by such au
thentic documentary evidence us de
partmental records nnd, exccutlvo re
liorts. These abuses consist In the diver
sion of flow and freshet waters from
their natural courses under long-term
leases and tho subsequent sequestra
tion of largo areas of tho choicest ag
ricultural landB of tho public domain
contiguous to waters so diverted nt
merely nominal lentals, In tho hands
of corporations iilready holding nreas
of land greatly In excess of that con
templated by the Organic Act.
Another schemu Is tho auctioneer
ing of leaseholds of land In such largo
areas na to be bcund the capacity .of
the ordinary man's pocket-book, both
ns to tiayment ot the annual rental und
tho finances necessary to develop tho
tract, tho result being Hint taw largo
corporation secures It without a sin
gle competitive bid. This method nag
been given Immense Impetus by tho
recent extension by Act ot Congress
ot tho leasehold period from five to
fifteen ycarB.
Another sclicmo consists In the salt!
by auction of parcels of land In tho
vicinage of limitations, ostensibly for
homestead' purposes. This land Is
secured by emplojecs or others con
nccted with tho plantation and finally
comes under its control.
The wide disparity In tho annual
jcntal received pe,r ncro by tho gov
ernment from largo teased aieas of
cano land and that received from land
devoted to rice-grow lng Is so glaring,
in view of the lack of disparity In tho
quality of tho land, Hint no better ar
gument Is needed than theso transac
tions present to prove tho discrimin
ating methods employed In behalf of
the planting Interests.
In numerous Instances rlcc-lnnds,
under competltlvo conditions, havo
brought from $20 to $40 per acre,
whereas sugar lands of equal quality.
but lying within or tn the vlclnago of
irons controlled by corporations (us
ually offered In largo areas, thereby
precluding tho possibility ot competi
tion), has brought but S3 per aero, ap
proximately, tho slight nominal ad
vance ot the successful bid being in
some instances less than one cent per
acre, and In raro Instances in excess
of two cents per acre over tho upset
price.
A moro insidious method of nllennt-
Ing public l(inds Is tho exchange sys

that tho deals on which exchanges are
