A COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION.

Carlos Longs proposal of a salaried
Commissioner of immigration, strikes
this paper as being a sound one which
the Legislature would make mistake
not to adopt.
II we are going to have useful eifort
to get immigration it must be sys-
tematic and intelligent. Somebody
must be specifically charged with the
work, for what is everybody's business
is nobody's business.
1t is the right idea to have immigra-
fion of any kind in charge of the Gov
eminent; for the latter can do what, IN
the case of private individuals, the law
would not permit.
The United States statutes governing
immigration recognize the right of the
commonwealth to seek immigrants,
realizing that each State or Territory
knows what 1t can assimilate and care
for in the way of alien population.
This knowledge, this prerogative can
not be delegated to a private individ-
ual and therefore the immigration ana
contract labor laws strictly prohiblt
the making of overtures to any alien by
a citizen Coming from an officer OF
the government the solicitation is per-
MISSILE; from citizen reprehensiple.

THE EIGHT HOUR LAW.
1.-THE omcial and Commercial Record ]

The Territorial legislature has pass
ed law requiring all contractors
doing government work to work their
employees but eight hours day.
About the same time that the legs-
lature OF Hawaii was enacting this
law, the Court of Appeals of the State
OF New York was delivering an opin-
ion that a similar law recently passed
lated the fourteenth amendment to the
Federal constitution, and was there
fore void
The constitutional provision violated,
guarantees equal protection under the
laws TO all citizens.
The reasoning by which the law in
question is held to be inconsistent with
the constitution, is that the law allows
one person to lawfully contract with
a private individual to do certain
work under certain conditions, but
prohibits another person from doing
the same kind of work, under like con-
ditions, for the government. This
places the second contractor under a
disadvantage as compared with the
first. In other words, the law is I'M
equal in its effect upon the two citi-
zens, discriminating against the lat
ter.
The New York decision appears to
be sound. The same reasoning applies
to the Hawaiian law, and 1t would ap-
pear TO have died "a bornin."
The penalty prescribed by the Ha-
waiian statute is n fine of not less
than $40 nor more than 800.
The law can be tested at any time
by contractor exceeding the eight
hour limit, and a prosecution being
brought for violation of the statute.
1t is in the public interest to have
the law tested at an early date, as
government work will cost consider
ably more under the eight hour limit
than under the usual nine and ten
hour working day, which hours have
heretofore prevailed throughout the
Territory.

THE NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE.
1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.l

1.-THE Official and Commercial Record.l
The Northern Securities case has
come to the surface again in a new
phase. 1t will be remembered that n
few weeks ago the four judges of the
u. S. Circuit Court decided that the
purchase by the Northern Securities
Company of the control of the stock
of the Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern Railroads was unlawful. as
being in restraint Of trade, by reason
of the two roads being competitors be-
tween common points. An injunction
was issued prohibiting the holding COM
pany from dealing with the two roads
Among other acts covered by the in
junction was the payment of dividends
The Securities Company applied for a
modification of this portion of the in
junction and against the opposition of
the Attorney General of the United
States, the modification has been
granted. The grounds for the modifi-
cation seem reasonable. They are that
the law does not prescribe any forfeit
ture of the property OF the Securities
Company; that it simply provides that
it shall not carry on business in such
manner as to arbitrarily restrain the
freedom of trade.
II on appeal the supreme court sus-
tains the decision of the lower court,
all that will be required is that the
stock in the two railroads shall be re-
turned to the original owners thereof.
Or in other words, the decision will be
practically an annullment OF the agree
ments of the sale to the Securities Com
pany, the ownership of the stock re-
manning as it was prior thereto. AS
the same persons who owned the rail-
road shares own a pro rata amount in
the Securities Company, there Will be
no confusion and the money paid out
as dividends, whether ii Is paid direct
to the owners as stockholders in the
railroads, or indirectly as stockholders
in the Securities Company, will go to
the same people and in the same
amounts.
Under these circumstances the court
has held that it would be an unneces
sary hardship to the stockholders to
keep the dividends tied up, pending the
decision of the Supreme Court, no prin-
ciple being involved either in the with
holding or payment of the dividends.
The payment of the regular monthly
dividend of the Securities Company will
therefore continue, pending final deci-
sion of the Supreme Court of the United
States.

EDWIN r. NEWMAN.

The suicide of Edwin r. Newman was
a shock to the community for which
nothing in the young mans life had
prepared it. Mr.. Newman was of a
sunny nature, had come to resume what
had been successful business life in
Honolulu and had shown faith in his
prospects by sending for his family. 1t
is twenty-one years since the writer
came to know him at Ithaca, New York,
and in all that time his esteem for Mr..
Newman had never been diminished.
Diligent, capable, honest and of plea
SAINT manners, Newman seemed destin-
ed TO worthy career and a happy end
ing of his life. The worthy career was
his; the ending was tragic and pitiable.
What impelling causes led to the sui
eide we do not know. Stories are told
which would seem TO leave others much
to explain and these are being investi-
gated, The Advertiser will not jump
at conclusions; but it hopes to be able
within the next twenty-four hours to
get at the truth or falsity of current
rumors.
III tllc hltbNlllIle tHeTe are tHe WluoN
and children for whom the world holds
small comfort and to whom even the
kindly ministrations of friends yield but
feeble solace. Such n death as this
of Edwin r. Newman projects long
train of evil consequences that most
atiiiet those who are least able to bear
them. 1t is not enough TO say at the
grave OF the dead Peace to his
ashes!" One must hope also that the
living may find peace.

The story that John Wilkes Booth
was not shot by Boston Corbett and
that he killed himself the other day in
Oklahoma, having escaped after the
tragedy at Ford's Theater, would be
more interesting If true. Booth was as
we'll known in Washington as a star
actor in a small city usually is and
when his body was brought to the Old
Capitol prison II was identified by sew
eral army men who had known him. 1t
had to be identified before the reward
could be paid. The Provost Marshal OF
Washington at that time, a gentleman
who visited Hawaii in 1894 and gave n
lecture on the subject in DR.. McGrew's
drawing room, saw and knew the body.
There is recognizable Booth look
about the Kansas man which may be
accounted for by the fact that Junius
Truths Booth, father of Edwin and
John Wilkes, had natural sons. The
strain of insanity among the Booths
may account for the Kansas mans hal
lucination in his latter years.

How Charles Frohman got his real
start as a theatrical manager is thus
told in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Incl
dentally some light is thrown on the
early history of several other managers
of prominence.
Quite a collection of managers in the
office of the Grand the other evening in
dulged in theatrical "reminiscences. In
the party were f. d. Stair. manager in
the popular price field; Gustav Froh-
man. who is looking after the business
of William Faversham's tour; John
Havlin, the.owner of half a dozen thea
tiers, and Manager Harry Rainforth.
Nearly all of them started in the busi-
ness about the same time. John Bav-
lin began his career as an assistant
treasurer, While his partner. Mr.. Stair.
drifted from the printers case to re-
porting and then to theatrical posi-
ton. Gustav F'rohman, perhaps, the
longest in harness, began his experience
as the manager of a negro minstrel
troupe. and Harry Rainforth grew up
on the stage, his first start being as an
actor Ali have climbed up to spOnsi-
BILE positions and have amassed no small
amount of this worlds goods.
Mr.. Frohman told the story of another
business partner of Stairs A L. Will
bur and how he got into the theatrical
business. It was way back in the early
'70s, and F'rOhman was plotting the Cal
lender minstrels through the country.
At Vicksburg, Miss. the idea of pre-
senting a troupe of negro performers al
most precipitated a riot.
I was on the door," said F'rohmani
"and was having a siege of it when a
little drummer had met several times
stepped UP to me and inquired if 1 need
ed any help. Well we got out of that
scrape all right, but it left a warm spot
in my heart for the drug salesman who
had offered to come to the rescue. That
was A. L. Wilbur. and when I met him
again he told me he was anxious to in
vest in the theatrical business, as he
had made and saved a snug little sum
