Mr.. MORGAN AND Mr., PRATT t
Commissioner of Lands
Shows Why Claim
Is Unfounded.

THE letter of Mr.. Morgan would be
very good one" said Land Conn
missioner Pratt last night, IF it con-
tanned an accurate statement of facts.
That is TO say. if Mr.. Morgan was be-
ing driven out of his home as an old
-kans, or for anybody else, why it
would be a distressing state of affairs
indeed
LAS matter of fact, Mr. Morgan
is the carpenter on the Makee Sugar
Ccmpanys plantation, and the house
that he occupies is the property of the
Makee Sugar Company and is on land
that is under lease to Colonel Spalding,
to do With absolutely as he sees fit.
# Mr.. Morgan has any right to that
land by reason of so occupying it,
then every man employed on any plan
tation on these islands has the same
right to the plantation leased land that
his house stands on. But if Mr.. Nor
gan would lost his job as plantation
carpenter tomorrow, he would lose the
house he lives in, because Colonel
Spalding would move him out to make
room for the new carpenter. Mr.. Nor
gan admitted as much to me himself
and that is the state of the case. any
way. Mr.. Morgan has no lease of that
land, and has nae no lease. He is an
employe of the plantation, and as such
lives in the carpenters cottage, the
same as the lunas and other employees
live in theirs.
EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL.
There is one thing, however. that 1
wish you would bring out plainly. The
Molokans are not aliens. They have
taken out their first citizenship pa
pers, and under the Organic Act are
entitled to take up lands under the
Settlement Association clause of the
Land Laws. If Mr.. Morgan and his
associates, Cr any other citizens of the
Territory or the United States will in
duce Colonel Spalding to open other
lands OF the Makee Company on the
same terms as he has opened the lands
of kapaG to the Molokans, the gov
ernment will give such association all
the advantages that have been given
to the Molokans. And this does not
apply to Kauai alone. We want bona
fde settlers, not men who will take
up the land with a view to selling it
back to the plantations, nor men who
will do no more work on the lands
than the laws compels them to do, thus
permitting the cane lands to relapse
into jungles and causing loss to the
sugar industry and to the whole Ter
ritory.
ITO go back 70 Mr. Morgan and his
letter. The first time that I ever
heard of the Molokans was when I ar
rived home from Sea girt on the 18th of
September last. On that same day
Secretary Atkinson came down from
Kauai with Captain Demens. the ad-
vance representative of the Molokans,
and on the same day left with Cap
tain Demens and Mr.. L. A Thurston
to look at lands on the island of Ha-
Taii. Coming back to Honolulu, Cap
ain Demens announced that he had |
decided that the lands of kapaa would |
De the ideal for the proposed Molokan |
colony. Captain Demens then Went |

Kappa Man Complains
of Receiving Unfair
Treatment.

Editor Advertiser: Four months
ago the environment of Kapaa was as
peaceful and Industrious a center of ag-
ricultural activity as could well be
found anywhere on these Islands. 1t
is true that owing to the anticipated
action by the government in relation
TO the lands under lease to the planta-
ton some acres were dropped cut of
as has since transpired was at that
time thought of, either by the resident
employers or the manager, nor yet
those holding controlling interests in
the Makee Sugar Co. Mr.. J. B. Castle
had interested himself in the subject
of European labor for plantation work,
but all newspaper notices of his pur-
pose pointed to the initiation of a new
sugar plantation on the Island of Oahu
What then was our surprise to see
Land Commissioner Pratt with a num-
Der of Molokan elders make hurried
visit to kapaa, the visit resulting in all
kinds of rumOrs as to the future of
these lands Rumors became moral
certainties when the gentlemen form
ing the board of appraisers came to
hapaa to view the lands in question.
From that moment on all doubt was
dispelled as to the purpose of the gov
ernment to reach some agreement with
the Makee Sugar Co, looking to an
earlier cancellation OF the lease on
these lands for settlement purposes.
Immediately this became evident the
residents OF kapaa assembled to dis
cuss what course they should pursue in
q sItration such as presented itself. 1t
was finally determined to petition the
government for a division of Kapaa
lands among the residents thereof. al
loting to each the premises he had
heretofore occupied as a home and in
addition such agricultural area as
would enable each head of a household
to secure the means for maintaining his
family.
There We're two petitions circulated
and signed by over one hundred resi-
dents of the district, more than three
fourths of the signatures being those
of registered voters of the Territory
These petitions were carried to Homo
lulu on the same steamer conveying the
returning commissioner and duly pre-
sented to the Territorial Land Commits
sioner. Were it not for the presence of
the Molokans at Kapaa at the present
time, the petitioners would still be in
doubt as to what disposition had been
made of this request.
At the instance of number of those
who have made Kapaa their home for
a great many years, [ came to Honolulu
