The announcement that Governor
Carter had sent his resignation to
President Roosevelt by the steamer
that sailed last Wednesday, was the
political sensation of the day. 1t was
discussed everywhere, and by all class
es of citizens. 1t was discussed from
every point of view and from every
phase of political opinion and bias. 1t
gave rise to all sorts of suggestions as
to it's motive and purpose, and all sorts
of speculation as to who would be
Carter's successor in case the resign
alton was accepted. From the number
of men suggested it would seem that
there is no lack of gubernatorial ma
terial in the Territory.
Generally speaking the sentiment
that seemed most widespread was one
Of surprise that the Governor should
have felt called on to take the action
he did There was also much regret
expressed among some elements of the
community. But there was an almost
universal feeling that there was album

While in Washington Secretary At
kinson devoted a lot of his time to
study of the immigration problem, and
he has secured much valuable infor-
nation which he will submit to the
new immigration board when it meets.
Atkinson is chairman of the board, and
was largely responsible for the law un-
der which it was created. His efforts
have been with view to securing more
settlers for the islands, and he says
that one of the prime requisites for
the accomplishment of this purpose is
liberal land policy
ut is necessary for the prosperity
of the Territory" sald the secretary
that we secure permanent settlers.
But 1 would not encourage one white
man to come here and settle unless 1
knew that there was land for him.
Land will have to be offered first If
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-06-23

the plantations have all the land they
will have to give it up.
Il believe in liberal land policy.
The only immigrants we have been
able to induce to come here and settle
and become good citizens are men like
the Portuguese, to whom. the govern
ment gave either title to land or long
leases. If we want settlers we must
have land for them, and that is, be-
lieve the first thing for the immigriL-
tion board to inquire into"
The immigration law as it stands was
a suggestion of United States Commits
sioner of immigration Sargent, made
to Atkinson when the latter was in
Washington on a former trip. At that
time Sargent expressed the opinion
that Hawaii could get plenty Of white
settlers who would become citizens,
and he outlined a plan which has been
embodied in the present law.

which to select a capable and satisfac-
tory successor, and the thought of the
community seemed to address itself to
this subject.
a few men thought it would be best
if a governor from some other state or
territory were appointed, wholly free
from local prejudices and bias, but as
the organic act requires the appointee
to be a resident of the islands, this
movement soon run itself out.
There was talk of meetings of vari-
Gus quasi-public bodies to discuss the
situation, and a meeting of the Mer-
chants Association was called, but af-
forwards the call was recalled.
1t is expected that a meeting of the
Republican Territorial Central Com
mittee will be called very soon to dis
cuss the matter.

of Representatives is prominent among
those mentioned for governor in the

Considerable doubt was expressed in
Honolulu today of the acceptance of
Carter's resignation by President
Roosevelt. The statement given out
by Carter shows that there has been
cable correspondence on the subject of
the resignation, and this is taken to
mean that Roosevelt has replied to the
suggestion of a resignation by urging
Carter to hold on. The fact that Car
ter is going to Washington to have a

and it has been understood for some
time that he would be likely to succeed
Carter. In fact it has been stated that
there was a sort of understanding that
Carter would recommend Atkinson.

Hnson is old enough legally to take the
office is not regarded as an insur-
mountable obstacle The Secretary is
