for the good and benefit of our native
sons. people of our own blood, from Ha-
wall to Niihau, The Aloha Alma is
deadly opposed to this bill of the Dele
gates. BY this bill the once peaceful
homes in the settlement, of the past,
will perhaps have more trouble and sug-
ferings through the influx of foreign
lepers among them.
For this reason. that, perhaps, the

the following is said of Delegate Will

"On the fourth page of this weeks is
sue will be seen the full text of the bill
for the care of lepers to be placed under
the management and care of the Sec
restary of the Treasury's Department of
the United States of America.
This is one of the bills which the Del
egate presented to the Congress of
America. which is to be commended and
for which We should be glad His heart
is full of love for the people of his own
race, which he has shown by the work
he has planned, and is now under way at
the Federal capital at Washington.
No one person or persons perhaps
can say that the lepers at Kalaupapa

the Board of Health from the time OF
the overthrow of the monarchy in Jan

work done by them for the people of the
soil was cruel and inhuman.
when the management of the Board |
of Health was under the Gibson regime |
the work of the Board and its manage

the year 1893 to the present time it seems |
nothing but suffering has been the re-
