CALL OF THE HOME.
Jnlm C. I.niii- appears ti) have
I struck tin
I ilunnl vli
'J 11)0 liloa
the key-note with the Congrcs
Isltors when ho ptu forward
nt Wnlluku that llio ull-ab-
toiblng hind problem of tills Terrt
ti)ry should bo solved by the people of
the Tenltor) ot Hawaii; that the !.
Islntiirc should pass a laml law which
they believe mectB conditions .rid 111!
hhoulii bo passed em to Congress foi
connriiintluii or revision as Henna
lest.
Thin satisfies the Ideals of local self,
government boond the privileges of
cny State In which Government laml In
located, ami It guarantees a proper
safeguard against too speedy anil Ill
considered lobulation.
No one can doubt that the call for
the homo Ib paramount. It In heard
on every hand, though thero la n giout
ft. diversification of opinion.
Tho Rlnt of tho wlinlo situation is
this: The ipiestlon Is now being tuf
flclontly well agitated to start even
tho jlullnrd nuil tho liulirtcront one
who believes politics are "nnwsty" to
thinking; the agitation has continued
long enoiish to warrant the belief that
public opinion should be sufficiently
well clarified to secure wise action al
tho next session of the Legislature.
RUSSIAN EMIGRATION.
Hawaii Is In a fair way to learn
something of tho attachment ot the
', itusslau emigrant to the soil of St-
1 lierla where A. I.. C, Atkinson lep-
. resenting the Territorial noaru m
Immigration .has bouc on a vnyngo
of discovery. Tho tuxpaycr'B great
hope Is tho education will not bo
too expensive, though they aro will
ing to pay well for results.
. At the present tlmo every Euro
pean colonist arriving in Slbciln re
ceives :i" nercs of land free, paylnK
no taxes on this land for tho first
three years, and only half the regu
lar taxes for the next three, Pcnnl
Jess emigrants have their passage
paid by tho Russian Government,
mid wood from tho Crown lands to
build their houses.
Tho Government hns established
depots for the sale ot agricultural
implements of all kinds to the Immi
grants, often selling them at reduced
intes and on easy terms of payment.
During 1907 over GOO.OOO person!,
according to the latest ofllclal fig
ures, emigrated from European Rub
bin to Siberia, and of this record
ln caking number fewer than ever
beforo returned to their former
liomca.
On December in. 1892, the Trans
Slberlnn Hallway commltteo was cre
iitcd to cuIouUo the land opened by
ii that road, and generally to pi emote
tho economic development of Slborln.
The commltteo began at once to pro
moto emigration from European Itus
ida to Siberia, nnd as n result ot their
fiideavorB, not merely did tho num-
liers of tho emigrants greatly In
crease, but their mortality rapidly
diminished. In 1894, of SC.00O emi
grants, 3,000 died on tho way; while
In 1899, of 220,000 emigrants, only
.TOO died on tho way. From 1801 to
1892, GDO.OOO Russian farmers en
, tered' Siberia, whllo from 1893 to
f 1899 theso figures roso to 1,000,000.
This great lucrcaso was duo not only
to cheaper unci better methods ot
ft travoi, nut io mo ucitcr terms on'
f ' which land could bo obtained, and
. . . ... .. . .
to tho conslnnt enro and watchful-!
'nesB nt tho commltteo mentioned.
Ilcforo tho Itusso-Japancso war most
Si of tho emigrants did nqt go beyond
fVJ.nlCo llalkal, icnmliiing In tlio gov
1 rnmcnts nf Tobolsk nnd Tomsk and
In tho district of Akmollnek, where
they found tho toll much better, on
tho nvernge, than t Ii tit of those parts
of Hussln whenco they came.
Since tho war they havo been mov-
'Mng tnwaul tho Pacific and it Is pie-
mimably from theso tlint forty fami
lies will bo enllstod for Hawaii. It
indro-than forty nio secured and they
jirovo n, success In these Islands, n
liu go percentage of our citizens will
bo agreeably gurpihcd.
GRAFTERS IN MONTREAL.
Americans havo been so busy
.cleaning up the dressed-up thlovcs In
municipal oflU'i's, they havo culled so
nijnuy spades, found to many.blaclc
legs In good citizen clothes that nn
Impression has gono abroad that ours
arc the only misgoverned cities on
earth and we have tho only dishon
est officials.
Consequently when some of tho
outside Pharisees go wrong, we take
notlie nnd nt least have the satis
faction that our city governments do
not support all the criminals.
Montreal one of the general ac
cepted model cities, has llnnlly wak
ed up to tho fact that It has lost
millions of dollars In contract work
nnd official positions have been
bought and sold for jcars. Humors
of corrupt practices caused the pro
lnclal government to make a thor
ough investigation Into the nffatrs
ot the municipality. When this Is
closed on Sept. 1." It is expected that
Indictments will 'be recommended
ngalnst men prominent In polities'
nnd business. I.Ike certain American,
cities, the Canadian community hns
loino under the liilliicnco of men who
aic using positions of trust fur self
enrichment. The widespread discovery of grntt
In public nlTalrs lias caused the Im
piesslon Hint men are more corrupt
today than they were n quarter or n
half century ago. Hut this Is not
hi. It may be that the opportunities
for the stealing which has been call
ed grafting have Increased with tho
extension of public affairs; but, In
1 United Stntes .at least, there Ts
better understanding ot tho ro
( ulrement of good citizenship than
eer before.
In the past tho spoilsman In city,
state and national affairs was in evi
dence. His opportunities, however,
were limited, Expenditures for pub
lic services wcro far from being ex-
tnivngant. Public services In tho
hhnpc of pavements, buildings, bridg
es, street i ii 1 1 ways, sewers, nitration
plunts, etc, weie little In evidence.
Consequently, thero wero not tho
heavy expenditures which In recent
ears have enabled tho officials of
many communities to revel In grnft.
In tho sixties New York Stnto hml
Its "canal rats." There nlso were
rodents in other public winks. A
clamor for reform resulted in many
politicians being lot I led to public
life. Tho Stnto Capitol at Albany
was as prolific n rourco of graft to
men who had sworn to faithfully
teivo tho people as the notorious
Pennsylvania capital has been In ic
cent jears. So Intent weie the New
York senntors and assemblymen up
on lining their pockets with 'tho tax
payers' money that they neglected
to mako tho repairs which would
havo saved tho Hunt paintings on
tho waits of tho Assembly chamber.
When they, finally made tho neces
sary repairs in tho neglected apart
ment they stole thousands ot dol
lars by causing paplcr-macho In
stead of carved oak to bo Inserted
In tho celling. A speaker of tho As
sembly and other public men wero
driven out of the offices which they
had misrepresented.
It is wall to glance back on tho
past for tho purpoto of comparing
present misdeeds with those which
wero In ovldenco In tho days when
opportunities for unlimited graft
wero restricted. Wo aro not ns bad
ns we havo been painted. An awal;
cned public conscience makes venal
offenses nppear vvorso than they ap
peared to tho folk back In tho six.
j tics or the seVcntles.
Thero probably always will bo
spoilsmen In office. Hut they can
1 enforce tho order which should mako
I graft nnd grafting ii very scrloitB
.business. Perhaps It might bo well
I for tho American public to follow
tho present Inquiry, of corrupt prac
tices In Montreal. Suclf attention
might give sonio idea of tho mnnnor
In which a neighbor which ts Je.i
Ions of Its honor deals with men who
Lctray their tiust.
