MAY STAND
OFF SCHOOL

Il
permission for the erection of school
building upon the land which the Molo-
kans had surrendered
1t will be remembered that in the
agreement between the Government
and Col. Spalding. tile latter engaged to
waive the unexpired time of a portion
of his leases providing the Molokans
would cultivate cane on the land af-
fected. This engagement is of course
no more binding since the surrender
of the land by the Molokans.
Therefore Col Spalding can do what
he pleases with the land until the par
, ticular lease expires. If he does not
choose to allow schoolhouse to be
erected upon II in the meantime 1t is
his privilege to refuse the concession.
Perhaps Col. Spalding is using his
power i'm this matter as leverage to in
duce the Governor to concede his claim
reported some days ago, of the right
to stay upon his leaseholds until all of
the cane planted for the 1907 crop has
been harvested.
w. H. Babbtt, Superintendent of
Public instruction, stated that he had
received letters from Kauai on the sub
Ject, and when asked whether Col.
Spaidins had stated that under the cir
cumstances he did not desire a school
to be built on the lands vacated by
the Molokans, he replied:
We'll. Col. Spading did not state
positively, as l take ii, that he would
refuse to permit "A school building to
go up. / don't believe that is his final
decision
