JAPS MAY VOTE.

WASHINGTON, February Sin
view of the question that has been
raised as to the correctness of the
conclusion reached by the officials of
the State Department who have been
engaged in the negotiations with the
Japanese government as to the status
of Japanese in Hawaii after annexa-
ton is completed, further inquiry was
made today to ascertain the ground
for the statement that the japanese,
unless there was legislation to the
contrary by Congress, would be enti-
tied to the privileges of naturalization,
if they so desire, and are otherwise
able to meet the requirements of the
law. The officials naturally are re-
luctant to discuss publicly question
of this kind, which must be hypothet-
ical in advance of the disposition of
the pending annexation treaty, and,
moreover, are not disposed to be put
in the position of laying down legal
principles, but in substance their con-
tention is that under the laws as they
exist today, japanese in the United
States are entitled to naturalization.

The speaker considers it impossible

Having made up his mind that the
treaty cannot be ratified, he is anxious
that the vote demonstrating this muy

push the bill through the house in less

REGISTRATION OF VESSELS.
The law regulating the registration
of foreign built vessels under the Ha-
waiian flag is not in accord with the
policy of the Executive. At present,
any owner of foreign built vessel
may have the right to obtain a reg
lister by simply transferring the NOM
inal legal title to a citizen of this
country. There are many objections
to this. The law does not give suffi-
cient protection to domestic enter
prises, for Il vessel although in fact
owned by foreigners. may enter into

INDUSTRIAL AND REFORM
SCHOOLS.

There are number of our bows
and girls who are so incorrigibe that
their parents cannot keep the neces-
sary control of them, or they are the
children of parents who are indiffer-
ent to their welfare, and being left
to their own resources become in af-
ter years an addition to the dissolutc
and vicious element of our popula-
tion>
That this error may be corrected,
it is recommended that n law be en-
acted which will enlarge the scope Of
the present Reform School by giving
authority to the Department of Pub
lie Instruction to commit such boys
and girls as it may consider require
discipline and protection, to an in
dustrial school.
Instruction in the ordinary bran
ches may well be coupled with agri-
culture and manual training in in
stitutions of this kind. and if suitable
they may become partially self-sup-
porting.
The criminal classes or those usual
ly committed to the Reform School.
may be included in the scope of in
stitutions of this kind, but they
should be kept in separate wards so
as not to exert an improper influ-
ence over those who have not become
addicted to vicious habits. The de-
sired end of institutions of this kind
would be to give the inmates a rudi-
mentary education as well as train
ing in some useful trade or employ
ment, all of which would tend to give
them better appreciation of the re-
sponsibilities of life as well as means
OF self-sustenance upon their dis
charge from the school.
