said the Secretary.
"On the other hand. J." continued the
Delegate. ''if we cannot find a man
whose social and pol teal position
places him in such a position he cannot
act rs a person should act without con
sidering the Affiliations he is connected
With. then ! believe the Organic Act
should be changed and a man appointed

be possible to select Governor herei"
How to Do It.
."If conditions are to be the same as
they are today, / doubt if the home.
stealing policy will be a success"
" How can we change that7'
~ have my views; encourage home
steading.'
"HowG"
extend your Reclamation Act
here.'
"There is nothing about that except
to appropriate money!
"Get the Territory to do it, then.
HYou are powerful here politically
Prince suggested the Secretary
"Have you made any efforts to do that
yourselff'
~ am powerful so far as my election
J ia concerned" replied the Delegate
j.'but / have no power with the legis

"Have you used such influence as you
have to have the Reclamation Service
brought heref"
"No, except in Washington.
CAN you did was to attempt to get
money to extend the Reclamation Ser

ever, we have not enough money to
carry on the various reclamation pro

The Japanese Bogey.
"I think something can be done,
replied the Prince. 81 know there is
something wrong, but how to do it
dom know. Ny view is | feel we are
drifting to a condition where congress
! will take away our right of citizen
ship.
| HTake the Japanese question, if our
conditions keep on. Millions of dollars
of federal appropriations are being
made to fortify the Islands. The fear
that the japanese question has raised
has been agitated in congress and con
gress had to prohibit any more Japa'
nese coming here. The fear will stay
Nothing is being done to get rid of 1t
or to reduce that danger by bringing in
other people. We have brought in 9th
er people--Portuguese and Russians
/ but they come here as laborers. They
are Just as good as any people you
could get on the mainland. They say
they are going to bring them here as
prospective homesteaders, but they
know that is not right in fact" Here
