An Open Letter to Congress.


 frage Association has sent memorial to congress requesting that, in the qualifications for voters in the proposed constitution for the new territory of Hawaii, the word finale" be omitted. The declared intention of the United States in annexing the Hawaiian Is- lands is to give them the benefits of the most advanced civilization, and it is truism that the progress of civilization in every country is measured by the approach of women toward the idea of equal rights with men.
 Under barbarism the struggle for existence is entirely on the physical plane. The woman enters freely the arena and her failure or success de- pends wholly upon her own strength. When life rises to the intellectual plane, public opinion is expressed in law. Justice demands that we shall not offer to women emering from bar . barism the ball and chain of a sex dis qualification while he hold out to men the crown of self-government.
 The tread of civilization is clearly in the direction of equal rights for women. Even where equal suffrage measures have been defeated, as in South Dakota and Washington last November. the vote shows a marked gain over former years. Thus. in 1899, Washington defeated woman suffrage by l9,3s6 majority; in 1898 by majority of only 9.Ss2, although there had been large increase of population. THE democrats in the legislature have abolished the board of immigra- tion commissioners, the least objection. able of all the board that have cursed the territory. Now let them follow this up by wiping out the board of control and board of equalization, which the democratic territorial platform pledges them to do.

Alaskan Controversy.

London, June 19.--The officials of the
Colonial Office today We're shown the dis
patch from Washington saying that
Canada had served notice on Great
Britain that she must choose between the
United States and her North American
dominion in the settlement of the Alaska
boundary dispute. They declared the
story false both in substance and fact
and that it can be further reaf!irmed that
a modus vivendi was reached early last
week as cabled to the Associated Press
at that time.
The arrangement, which is verbal one.
deals with the question on broad lines.
One or two minor details are still under
discussion and when they are settled a
final arrangement will be entered into. 1t
may be further said that the boundary
agreed upon follows the SUBMITS Of White

Change in Labor Laws.

Chicago, June I'D. A. Ray, of the
interstate commerce commission, who
was executive officer for the Hawaiian
commission last fall, left Chicago for
Honolulu to continue the work of both
that body and the United States coast
survey, which remains incomplete.
'The mission upon which l am engaged
is of twofold nature" said Mr.. Ray be-
fore leaving. "The labor problem is in a
complicated condition which will require
the greatest patience, and the most care
full investigation to unravel. We under
stand no Chinese have been imported into
the islands since the flag was raised last
July, but we do know that a great many
Japanese have been landed. The condi-
tions under which the raising of sugar
cane, coffee and rice must be carried ON
for fair profit are such that cheap labor
must be obtained from some quarter OF
the world and if our contract labor law
is made applicable to the islands, in the
territorial or colonial form of government
given them by congress, great hardship,
amounting to practical killing of great
industries will result. My instructions
are to investigate more fully this ques-
tiOn and present a report to the commits
tee of congress next December. 1t is
my opinion that the results of my inquiry
and the facts gained by the members of
commission by personal observation will
cause the modification of immigration
laws as applied to the island to the extent
of allowing the importation of japanese
and foreigners, other than Chinese, un-
der contract with the understanding that
they are not to be brought from the
islands to any other state"

little of the gold arriving from any quar-

enough to inspire the belief that ease is
