Is the Exclusion Act CONSTITUTIONAL

Is the Exclusion Act CONSTITUTIONAL
The Chinese laborers in this country are
not bothering themselves about that pro-
vision of the Chinese exclusion act which
requires them to secure certificates of regis
tration and have photographs of themselves
taken by May l, for the purpose Of identifi-
cation. A few days ago the Secretary OF
the Treasury announced that it was not
necessary to have photographs taken, that
certificates Of Identification were all that
was necessary, but the Chinese seem to
think they will not be disturbed if they do
not take out certificates. The leading
Chinese, those who do not come
within the law, are advising those
affected by the law not to do anything be-
fore May l. They evidently have been adj
vised that the law is not constitutional,
and that no attempt will be made by the
authorities to send Chinese back to China
unless the supreme court declares it to be
constitutional.
1t is said that a session OF the supreme
court is likely to be held in the latter part
Of May for the purpose of passing upon the
constitutionality of the law. This step, il
is said, will be taken because of the repre-
septations that the Chinese government hal
made against the law.
1t is difficult to see how it will be possible
to avoid the enforcement of the law after
May l. Perhaps ii is the purpose of the
Chinese TO have the question of the consti-
| nationality Of the law tested by a habeal
corpus proceeding II a Chinsman should b,
arrested for the purpose OF returning hin
| to bis native land. 1t would not be sur
prising il 1t should be found that som,
featurss Of the exclusion act were. not a
carefully considered before adoption as they
| should have been.

The stare supreme Court.


Il will not be denied by any one qualified
to express az opinion on the subject that
the supreme court Of this state is overs
worked and uUderpaid. There are only
three judges ana the salary Of each is but
Sd. OlU. There IL no other sta e in the union
in which the judges OF the highest court
have 50 much to Do AID are 80 poorly paid
The bust ess before the supreme court has
increased immensely siuce the number and
salaries Of the supreme court judges were
fixed. Is i. the vii of the people o, Georgia
that their iu1ges shall have Additional bur
deus placed upon them without additional
compensation. or that they shall be over
worked We do not believe it is. 1t is TO
their interest that their judges shall have a
fair compensation, and that they ssall have
no more work TO do than they can do we'll
The truth about the supreme judges Of
this state is this: They are required TO hear
aud decide more cases than they can with
credit TO themselves and justice to litigants.
They are so pressed for time that they cam
not give that careful attention TO cases they
should. Unless they should act promptly,
however, htigants would have to
wait for years for settlement of their
cases. The delays that would occur would
amount almost to denial of justice.
We do not mean to be understood as say
ing that the decisions Of the supreme court
Of Georgia do not compare favorably with
those OF the highest courts in other states.
We do not know whether they do or not
But if they do it is because
the judges apply themselves to their
duties more closely than they ought. They
haven't time for study and careful reading.
They must find it difficult to keep up with
the decisions rendered by the courts OF other
states. New questions are coming up all
the time-questions that require the most
careful handling, because they affect large
interests. Much time and thought must be
given to these questions in order to under
stand them thoroughly. What time has the
supreme court OF Georgia TO give to thems
This question OF more judges and higher
salaries for the judges will come before the
legislature in some shape next fall-perhaps
IN the shape of a constitutional amendment
and be referred to the people. The people,
therefore, ought to consider the matter
carefully, so as to be ready to vote upon it
intelligently.

Better Quarters for County Convlcts.
The action Of the county commissioners
In favor OF providing better quarters for
the convicts Of the county is to be COM
mended. The present quarters are lack
ing in comforts and sanitary arrangements,
and it would not be advisable TO undertake
to improve them. The plan adopted by
the commissioners, namely, to build en-
tirelY new quarters, is much the better
one. The old board of commissioners had
already considered this matter, and it was
their purpose to do this year what the new
board has practically decided to do. Their
idea was TO have plans for brick building
that would answer for prison and a re-
formatory prepared and to build wing of
it at once that would be sufficient to meet
present requirements.
The site that was regarded with favor by
the old board is the one that has been chosen
by the new board namely, the old planta-
tion homestead on the Montgomery cross
road gust east of Hanna's bridge. In the
very near future the county will require a
large aims house and reformatory prison,
and it is just as we'll TO use what money ls
now appropriated for permanent improve
ments in build ing needed county buildings
on a well-considered plan. In constructing
new quarters for the convicts this should be
kept in view.
For many years to come, as the necessity
for the enforcement OF the vagrant laws be-
comes greater, there will be a steady
increase in the number OF county prisoners
In fact, for several years, the ohsin-gang
has been growing larger.
There is already in sight enough public
work in the county to afford employment
for the county convicts for half century
The drainage of the county and the building
Of county roads have only been just begun.
The policy of the county commissioners,
therefore, should be. in adopting plans for
! improvements, to take into consideration
the needs OF the future and the conditions
that will probably be developed as the
population Of the city and county increas es.
The commissioners are animated by the
right spirit In accepting those ideas OF the
old board that are clearly for the public
welfare.

that nobody spins fax on q distaff in these

the chances are that the women for whom

Recently Attorney General Olney ruled
that part of the souvenir half-doller ap-
preparation made by congress for the
worlds fair may be retained by the govern
ment to recoup itself for the money expended
in paying the judges Of awards and other
odds and ends. The amount involved is
$570,SS0. The Chicago people are said to
be anxious to have the opinion acted upon.
They hold that the retention OF a part of
the appropriation by the government would
be q plain violation Of the contract requir-
ing them to keep the gates Of the fair
closed on Sundays. They say that if the
government should violate its obligation
they would hold themselves at liberty to do
the same thing, which means they would
open the fsir on Sundays. 1t is said, how
ever, that the Chicagoans had previously
determined to open the fair on Sundays
anyway. The management is OF the opin-
ion that more money would be lost by keep
ing the gates clo.ed than any suit at the
hands OF the government could possibly
cost.
