run with Preacher kcnney, and the

Holloway barely held his own on

CALL OF The HOME.

John c. Lane appears to have
struck the keynote with the Congress
sional visitors when he put forward
the idea at Waikiki that the all-db.
sorhing land problem Of this Terri
tory should be solved by the people Of
the Territory Of Hawaii; that the Leg.
isluturc should pass o land law which
they believe meets conditions and this
should be passed on to Congress for
confirmation or revision as seems
best
This satisfies the ideals of local self.
government beyond the privileges of
any state in which Government land Is
located, ana it guarantees a proper
safeguard against too speedy and i'll
considered legislation.
No one can doubt that the call FOR
the home is paramount. 1t is heard
on every hand. though there is a great
divcrsihcation of opinion.
The Cist of the whole situation Is
this: The question is now being sui
fclently well agltated to start even
the lullard and the Indifferent one
who believes politics are "nawsty" &c
thinking: the agitation has continued
long enough to warrant the belief that
public opinion should be sufficiently
well clarified to secure wise action a
the next session of the Legislature.

RUSSIAN EMIGRATION.

Hawaii Is in fair way to learn
something OF the attachment of the
Russian emigrant to the soil OF ST.
IBERIA where A. l.. G. Atkinson iep-
resenting the Territorial Board OF
Immigration has gone on voyage
of discovery. The taxpayers great
hope is the education will not be
too expensive. though they are Will
ing to pay well for results.
At the present time every Euro
pean colonist arriving in Siberia re-
ceivcs 81 acres OF land free, paying
no taxes on this land for the first
three years, and only half the regu-
lar taxes for the next three. Penni-
less emigrants have their passage
paid by the Russian Government,
and wood from the Crown lands 10
build their houses,
The Government has established
depots for the sale of agricultural
implements of all kinds to the immi'
grants, often selling them at reduced
rates and ON easy terms of payment
During 1907 over 100000 persons
according to the latest official fig
ures. emigrated from European Rus
sia to Siberia, and of this record
breaking number fewer than evei
before returned to their formei
homes.
On December 10, 1892, the Trans
Siberian Railway committee was ere
ated to colonize the land opened b,
that road, and generally to promote
the economic development of Siberia
mote emigration from European Rus
STA to Siberia, and as result of thei
endeavors, not merely did the mum
bers of the emigrants greatly in
crease, but their mortality rapid
diminished. In 1894, of $4,000 emf
grants, 5000 died on the way; Will
in 1893, of 100000 emigrants, onl
300 died on the way. From 1851 {
1892, $4,000 Russian farmers en-
tered Siberia, while from 1898 I
1899 these figures rose to 1000, 00C
This great increase was due not onl
to cheaper and better methods @
travel, but to the better terms o
which land could be obtained, an
to the constant care and watchfuI
ness of the committee mentioned
! Before the Russo-Japanese war mos
of the emigrants did not go beyon
