THE PRAYER OF HAWAII.

Los Angeles Times: The greatest
need of Hawaii Territory is larger
citizen population Her sugar fields
are necessarily cultivated with Japan
csc and Chinese labor But in the
cultivation of coffee, of sisal and Of
vegetables, fruits, cereals and grasses
there is ample opportunity for Ameri-
can farmers. 1t is the desire of the
citizens and authorities of the islands
to encourage the incoming of emf
grants from the mainland and so pro-
mote the development of a community
distinctively American in its charac-
ter
Such assistance to emigration from
the mainland as it was in the power
of the Territorial Legislature to eX-
tend under the restrictions of the
Territorial organic law has been ac.
corded to the extent of bringing in
nearly 10000 Caucasian farmers and
farm laborers. If Congress will
amend the organic law so as to re-
move the present restrictions against
assisted emigration it would quintu-
pie the Caucasian citizenship of the
islands, for there is an abundance of
agricultural land there.
The Hawaiian Legislature hasepeti-
toned Congress to so amend the or
ganic act of the Territory as to allow
