I strong, the practice is in the epposits
direction II is insisted BY enterprising
and prominent men that. under tbs
guise of protecting the forests. large
areas of land are withdrawn that might
be and oughtrto be available for horti-
cultural and agricultural purposes
Many observers argue that the reserve
ton OF forests on the mainland and in
this Territory are two distinct questions
that require different Treatment. 1t is
urged, with vigor and pertinacity, that
here rains are precipitated from the
ocean and are controlled by the winds
and not by the forests, which are
chiefly serviceab1e in retaining the mois-
ture, after it has fallen, and, there
fore. that the woods on the mountain
slopes do not originate the rainfall,
though potent influence in its gradual
and economic distribution.
These are questions that the local
government should treat with gravity
and with thoroughness. No one doubts
ton. But, if under this pretext, large
bodies of land are withheld from men
who desire permanent settlement and
have the means and the experience to
increase Territorial population and
wealth, such a policy should be prompt
~ modified. 1t is the dividing line be-
tween reservation and settlement that
is in dispute. If the reservations run
too low down on the mountain sides,
they should be contracted and the
eupidfty and sel1shness of either in
dividuaIs or corporations that repre-
sent special interests and are inimical
to the general welfare, should not be
allowed to stand in the way.
The present local administration has
shown an inclination to consult the
actual necessities or wants of the is
lands. 1t now has an opportunity to-
prove the breadth of its capacity by
cooperating with the Promotion Conn
mittee in a direction that means per-
manent enlargement of OUR resources
and the addition of intelligent and sta
BILE elements of citizenship.
Americanization, surely under Repub-
lican administrations, does not mean
playing into the hands of accumulation
for the benefit of the few and treating
the many with paterna1 benevolence,
but the. growth of individualized citizen
ship. equality of opportunity under the
law, the full recognition of sturdy and
independent citizens, of whom small
farmers are probably the most stalwart
class.

SMALL FARMING.

In the weekly commercial resume of
the Advertiser on Sunday last there
were some observations that deserve
the serious consideration of the Terri
torial government. The gist of the
paragraph referred to is that "a spe-
cialized branch in charge of a sub
committee or an auxiliary bureau of
the Promotion" organization, should
cooperate with the land department in
facilitating immigrants who desire TO
engage in small farming. This sugges-
ton is timely and important.
In different parts of the islands, and
especially on the island of Hawaii, it is
believed that the development of small
farming, which in North and South
Kona and in many other districts is
quite feasible. is hampered, not only
by the private holders of large tracts of
land, but by the land deoartment it
self. 1t is claimed that, if the Federal
Government does not take over the
management of the public lands, our
local policy should be at least ASST
inflated to the Homestead Act, but that.

IAugEA FOR CONGRESS.

The great question with the Demo-
Gratis, now they have named Iaukea for
Congress, is whether they can keep him
Democratic until the end of the cam
paign. He has belonged to all three
parties within year and back of that
had a now-you-see-it-and
don't record which would have scared a
chameleon.
Queen Emma had the honor, such as
it was, of bringing Iaukea into public
wart youth but at the first good OPP
portunity he deserted her party for that
of Kalakaua. The King kept him
amused with decorative trifies and
Iaukea was fairly loyal to his second
benefactor, but when Liiiuokalani came
to the throne he turned against her
and became one of the few natives who
supported the P. G. During that period
he. went to Washington as an attend
ant of President Dole whom he subse-
utlentIy opposed. Upon annexation he
became an ardent Republican but fail
ing of office he Joined the Home Rule
party and ran on its county ticket last
fall for Assessor. Before long he be-
came a marplot in Home Rule counsels
and then went over to the Democrats.
Where he will go next even he can
not guess, but those who know him
best put least reliance in his Demo-
cratic professions.

POLITICS ON 4.MERlcAN LINES.

Ever since 1899 the Advertiser has
been in favor of the constructive par
fy work which is now being done by
the Democrats. 1t was humiliatng
from from an American standpoint 10
see an historic continental party OF
the United States playing second fiddle
to such an aggregation of insular ignor-
ance and spite as the Home Rule par
II. This paper has often urged the ma
tive citizens to join one American par
4v and the other, originally pointing out
that even if the Home Rule organiza-
ton elected a Delegate to Congress he
would have no political affiliations and
no standing there. The effavement of
Wilcox proved the truth of the pro-
phecy and since then the purely local
party has been losing numbers and in
fuence. Coincfdent with this has been
the growth of the Democracy, and now
that party promises to take its natural
and proper place as the chief and prob
ably the only opponent of the Repub-
Iican party IN the Territory. 8
This is a step forward in the work
of Americanizing Hawaii. There is no
political teacher like a political party
In America it is a training school for
citizens where the history of the CONF
mon country is studied, living issues
taught, a loyal spirit fnculcaGed; where
men learn what self-government means
and how TO exercise it. One Of the most
vicious things about the Home Rule
party is that it lives in the foiynesian
and not the American state of mind
and would, if it had a chance to de-
eide the issue, cast a solid vote in
November for the restoration of the
throne So far as it is a teacher at
all, 1t teaehes race prejudice and hos
fifty to the United States and resist
ance to destiny. Such party has no
place under the American system: it
is well that it is disintegrating and
finding in the Republican and Demo-
cratic parties the natural outlet for it's
political aspirations under the Ameri-
can flag.
