CORDOVA ALASKA
HONOLULU, T. H., June 20.—Sec
retary of the Interior Franklin K.
Lane and Assistant Secretary of the
Interior E. C. Bradley have arrived
in Honolulu, chiefly for the purpose
of making a thorough study of the
land stiuation in the territory and de_
vising some means of coping with the
difficulties that have arisen, partly as
a result of the war.
Of the public lands of Hawaii suit
able for cane-growing, virtually all
are, or until recently have been, in
the hands of the sugar planters on
long-time leases from the territory,
generally at very low rental. A few
of these long leases recently expired,
and several more are due to expire
shortly. This has given rise to a sit
uation wfeich is said to threaten to
reduce the sugar output of the islands,
regarded as essential for war pur
poses.
The organic act of June, 1900, under
j which the territory of Hawaii was
I created, provides that “whenever
twenty-five or more persons having
the qualifications of homesteaders,
who have not heretofore made appli
cation under this act, shall make writ
ten application to the commissioner
of public lands fo rthe opening of ag
ricultural lands for settlement in any
locality or district, it shall b<},#»e
duty of said commissioner to proceed
expeditiously to survey and open for
entry agricultural lands, whether oc
cupied or under lease with the right
of withdrawal, sufficient in area to
provide homesteads for all such per
sons. . . The lands to be so
opened for settlement by the com
missioner shall be either the specific
tract or tracts applied for or other
suitable and available agricultural
l&nds in the same geographical dis
trict, and, as far as possible, in the
immediate locality of and as nearly
equal to that applied for as may be
available: Provided,^ however, that
no leased land under cultivation shall
be taken for homesteading until any
crops growing thereon shall have been
harvested.”
It is this clause of the organic act
that is worrying the sugar planters,
and that has worried them for years.
\ arious efforts have been made to
have it repealed, but they were un
availing.
The new governor, Charles J. Mc
Carthy, has already declared himself
as heartily in sympathy with the
homesteading of the public lands, and
it is expected that he will advise with
Secretary Lane in regard to any revi
sion of the land laws. The Hawaiian
legislature can do nothing more than
suggest to congress, the organic act
providing that congress ahall control
the public lands of the territory.
Secretary Lane and Assistant Sec
retary Bradley and their party expect
to remain in Hawaii about three
weeks, and every effort will be made
1 to take them over as much of the
territory as possible and let them see
conditions for themselves. It is gen
erally recognized that some revision
j of the land laws is needed, but just
what changes ought to be made are
a matter of wide difference of opinion.
Meantime, however, it is generally
conceded that the most important
thing is to keep up the production of
sugar in the silands. Food Adminis
trator Hoover having notified the ter
! ritory that every pound will be needed
that can be raised.
The announcement that Secretary
Lane would visit the territory came
when the land discussion was at its
height. It was at once conceded that
it would be best to t«ke no radical
action until his arrival.

COLOGNE VOLKSZEITUNG
URGES USEOF GERMAN
AMSTERDAM, May 6 (by mail).—
What the newspaper characterizes as
“the filthy and treacherous Teutonic
habit of speaking English instead of
good, honest, beautiful German,” is
condemned by the Cologne Volks
zeitung thus:
“Thousands among us would rather
tie their tongues in a knot over an
‘Irish stew’ than use the good Ger_
man word ‘gulasch.’ Is it really in
dispensable that the English should
teach us how to eat and drink?
“In our dwelling houses there are
‘stores’; there is a ‘dining room’; we
still encumber ourselves with ‘shawls,’
‘slips,’ 'sweaters’ and other ‘fashion
able’ things. The German young
woman knows exactly what is ‘fair’
and what is ‘shocking.’ Her school
friend addresses her as ‘my dear,’ and
the honest German ‘handedruck’ is
degraded into ‘shake hands.’
“At parting it sounds so much more
distinguished to say ‘farewell’ than
‘lebewohl,’ and on returning it is the
correct thing to say ‘how do you do?’
in answer to which instantly comes
the retort, ‘very well,’ which is sup
posed to be more cordial than our
‘vorzuglich.’
“These lamentable lapses could >
multiplied into the infinite, for there
is not a single department of German
life which they have not invaded. Ger
man people, pray, oh, pray Ho honor
your own glorious German tongue and
uproot the vapid English from your
memory.”
