The weather was perfect and gave

before the start of the boats, but the
large number of spectators present,
and the fact that there was pros

Widespread Objection To The
Sending Of Minors to Hawaii. il
Many Complaints Made By
Parents.

Many letters from parents all over
the island have been received by the Secret.
ary complaining of the sending of minors to
Hawaii as workmen on the plantations. The
universal complaint that has been made
has caused the Governor to taxs decided
stand in the matter, and the Secret
AIRY has informed the Hawaiian company
that it is the desire of the Governor that In
all cases sohere minor children are taken the
consent CT the parents or guardian accom-
pany the signing Of the roll. The fact OF the
matter is that the Governor would prefer
that no minor children be taken under any
circumstances.
The matter vas brought to head by the
statement of Mrs Valentine Mangual who
in a letter to the Governor complained Of
her son Ramirez Mangusl having been taken
to the Hawaiian islands without her cons
ent. The Secretary communicated with the
Agent Of the Company Mr.. r. A. Macfe,
and be answered admitting that such a
person as Adolfo Ramirez Mangual had
been taken to Hawaii by the company, and
made an offer to take Mrs. Mangual to her
son free of charge. In answer to this letter.
Acting Secretary McLeary wrote the COM
pany and informed them of the Governors
desire in the matter. No further action has
been taken.

Editorial Comment.

The article in our issue of to-day calls the
attention of the public press to the fact that
tie United States Government is doing ali
within its power to develop the soil ard agrl
cultural resources of this island, and # We
the people of Porto Rico will give the same
attention and effort towards the develop
ment Of our land, and the establishment o
farms where th, adsptibility of this soil fol
the growth of American fruits, vegetables
and other useful food and clO'bing com
modities, can he tested and grown, the fut
ure self support and self maintenance of th's
island is assured In the last paragraph Of
his interview Mr.. Gardner, U. S. Govern
ment agricultural Agent says:
':The chief requisite to the success OF the
station will be the interest and loyal support
of the people, and it is hoped that the lnsul
ar Legislature at its next sessions will roi
hesitate to provide the necessary land OF
funds for the purchase Of the necessary and
suitable land for permanent location" In
matter involving so much to the PEOPLE Of
this island it is to be hoped that it will moi
be ne cessaly to remind our Insular LegiSlat
ure of its duty.
Our agricultural success is Of much more
importance to ourselves than it is to the
United States go7eTnment or its agent.
The home government has CINE forward
with its usual magnanimity and sent an
expert agriculturalist here to assist us in
developing our island, and to to help us on
to success Our Legislature must without
any hesitation and with )ur questioning the
cost, for no matter what the price is it will be
insign ficant compared to the fnal gain,
appropriate lands and money to bring these
experiments to successful issue.
HOur Honorable Governor has on more
than one occasion spoken of our agricultural
possibilities, and has done all in his power
to render all the assistance he can give.
His promise of future assistance and aid has
also been given and is assured us. 1t is
now for the people through the men that
this matter up and make permanent ex.
pertinent station here. The benefits to be
derived are too sCell known by the people TO
require any elucldation here, but the neces.
sty of leg; ;slatiVe action and aid cannot be
dyelt upon too much or too often.
The U. S Government asks through its
representative here the aid OF the people OF
Porto Rico in assisting themselves to bet
ter their condition, to develop great factor
in making themselves selfsustaiaIng and in
dependent, and il is for the people of Porto
REQ to say whether that Cffer will be accep-
ted, or whether we will by lEactivity and in
decision send back aoord to the mother coun
try that we don't want her aid. Let the
prompt action OF the legislature at Its next
session, voice the opinion Of the people that
the projection and aid Of the mother eouc (.
try is asked for and needed, not in gifts Of
charity or the establishment of poor houses,
bnt in teaching Us the lessons of self sup.
port, self help and self respect.
