interests of the Territory of Hawaii,
in which am very deeply interested
indeed, desire to express It as my
opinion that at the present time the
interests of that Territory may be
best served by making known the
natural advantages of the Islands to
those now living in the continental
territory of the United States, who
may be DESTROYS of making a change
with view to lettering their condi-
ton. J-E.
After expressing his approval Of
the work already done by the Board
of immigration, Sargent continues:
IT'S is season of business de-
preston. and there; is a great deal
of labor Unemployed, and 1t is my
conviction that IL you take means to
reach this class of our population,
YOU yould have nos difficulty in get
ting a tlaige number of hard-work-
ing, industrious people of desirable
nationalities. There would be no dill
ficulty whatever, SO far as the immi-
grafton laws are concerned, inasmuch
as the people, concerned would only
be travelling from one part Of the
United States to another, and you
should he able to make reasonable
rates with the railroad and steamship
people for transportation.
There is no question in my mind
hut that the experiment would be
successful, and that n few thousand
dollars spent in transportation and
in stimulating immigration to the
Islands from the continental terri
tory, especially at the present time
would be an excellent Investment
and would bring results of lasting
benefit to the future of the Islands
Il make this as n suggestion fol
your consideration, and believe thai
the effort is worth n trial, And
| assure you that in so far as II lies II
the power of the immigration Serv
ice, we shall be glad to afford yol
any information, etc, that may b'
desired"

HAWAII AND IT'S DEFENSE
Washington Postl


Congress has shown very clearly
that It does not intend to do any
thing remarkable at this session, If II
can help itself. II will go up to
June / us quietly and uneventfully
as 1t can. There will be no leglsla-
ton on new and experimental lines
il the leaders can avoid 1t. Per-
haps, under the circumstances, this
course Is wise.
There is one item, however, which
Congress could consider and dispose
of without venturing into untried en-
periments. BY the exercise of fore
sight and prudence in this matter,
this session of Congress might be re-
membered hereafter as not entirely
barren of good fruit. The defense OF
Hawaii is a subject that needs care.
full attention and prompt action. II
is one that need not arouse party
differences. II does not mean that
enormous sums of public money
would be involved. 1t would not call
for the creation OF new Offices or new
machinery. There is nothing novel
in the subject for Congress to balk
at. There is no open door to extrava.
gance or graft in the plan to make
Hawaii safe.
The Post has reason to believe
that the President knows whereof he
speaks when he urges the early for
tifcatlon Of Hawaii The knowledge
he possesses has not been made pub

How many mainland towns would
keep quiet under the coastwise ship
ping law and no ship subsidy, and Il
dwindling merchant marine, If they

transportation? The present status
of the shipping laws chokes the life

Mr. II. p. Wood etc.
"Sir:-It is with great pleasure
Chat acknowledge the receipt of
illustrated pamphlets and booklets of
the Hawaiian Islands. have placed
them in conspicuous place in my
Office where any one interested in
the Islands may readily refer to
them. n
"Adverting to our conversation of
iecent date which took place at El'is
island, concerning the different races
Of people who might possibly be di-
rected to the Islands as settlers,
have to state that in my opinion the
Spaniard, Northern Italian, and 1tal-
ians from Messna would make the
best settlers for your climate, Span
iards do not. as q rule, come in very
large numbers to this country, and
when they do II is rarely the case
that they are accompanied by their
families. The Basques from the
mountainous regions of Spain pre-
dominate, and these almost invariab-
ly proceed TO the big sheep ranches
Of our Western States as shepherd
rrs and like occupations.
"The Northern and other agricul-
turally inclined Italians are more
numerous, and | believe that with
proper representation of the advan-
tages and proper assurances as to the
possibilities, many such families now
located in various parts of the States
could be directed to the Islands.
Another class of immigrant that
is very thrifty is the Russian-Ger-
man. These travel, as rule, in
large families. | have known as
many as ten children to accompany
the parents in one group. They are
farmers and stock-raisers and make
success of all agricultural pursuits
wherever they locate. The difficulty
lably wish to go to some section
where others of their own race are
already located and, no matter what
!nducement may be offered. they pre-
fer to go to the relative or friend. Tt
establish colony of these people II
would therefore be necessary to first
do some missionary work in one oI
their many colonies in the States
and, once you had convinced two ol
three families of the advantage to bC
derived from migrating to the Isl
Gnds, others would follow suit rapid
ly. as this desire to be with theii
friends would attract them to the Isl
ands as 1t now attracts them to Ger
tain locations in the States.
IL do not think that the races
from Northern Europe, such as Scan
dinavians, Danes, Poles, and others
would be so beneficial to you a
those that | have mentioned.

Leper to Have Home with His Family

Plans for Early's future care and
treatment have been discussed by
Health Officer Woodward and DR.. VIII
liam Fowler. chief of the contagious
disease service. 1t is settled between
them that the strict isolation Of the af'
fiicted man is to be broken.
1t is considered likely that some cid
building belonging to the district win
be turned over to the leper and his
family for habitation and he will be in
structed to provide for himself and
keep his own quarantine.
In the event that this building cannot
be procured it may be that Early will
be permitted to live in the house near
the asylum grounds now occupied by
his wife and child. On the other
hand, it may be suggested to him
that he buy small place in the sub
u. lbs.
Physicians in charge of Early are
considering a plan to inoculate him
with the leprosy bacilli, which consti-
tutes the recently discovered Nastin
cure of the malady. This method is
said to have cured the disease In sew
eral instances. when used while the
disease was in its early stage. as in
the case of Early.
Early ciings to the faint belief that
his disease is not leprosy. and that
the physicians have made a mistake
in diagnosing his case. He does not
favor this new treatment.
