THE MARIETTA JOURNAL.

Among the weekly papers of the state
none of them excel, perhaps, 1.-THE
Marietta Journal edited and pub
lished by Editors Neal and Massey.
The paper is always trimming over
with local news and state matters of
general interest, and is, editorially, re-.
portorially and geographically a splen-
did paper.
Editors Neal & Massey have just is
sued an industrial edition of the paper,
which certainly reflects great credit
upon them.
1t is devoted to the social and indus
trial development of Marietta and Cobb
county, and is handsomely illustrated
throughout, exquisitely setting forth in
picturesque photographers the likeness
of distinguished citizens, elegant
homes, magnificent public buildings,
industrial scenes and manufacturing
enterprises.
The issue emphasizes the fact that
Marietta is one of the best towns IN
Georgia, and that the Journal is one of
the best papers in the state.
And it is very evident that the BUSH
mass men of Marietta appreciate the
Journal, for the paper is well patron
lied by advertisers. In referring to
this feature of the industrial issue it
said editorially: "We are highly
pleased to refer to the unstinted sup
port of Marietta in publishing the
work, coming together of the people,
which alone made the success of the
edition possible"
We always read the Journal with
great pleasure, and have enjoyed our
perusal of the splendid industrial edi-
tion just issued, ind extend very hefgt :.
congratulations to Editors No4ts
Massey upon the great sun
have achieved in it.-AGns ~, W. ~

(From Sundays Daily.)

No word has yet been received from
Washington as to the Tanbara case.
The dispatches say that just before
Roosevelt left the capital he granted six
reprieves and denied seven applications
for executive clemency. The Tanbara
case may have been among these, but
If so, no word was sent to the local
authorities.
The nine months old son of John D.
Seabury died yesterday at the home of

came down from Puunene last week to

little fellow took cold, which developed
into pneumonia. The funeral will take
place from the family residence this
afternoon, the burial being from the
Catholic cathedral to the Catholic ceme-
terry.

NEW TERM OF
SUPREME COURT

A new session of the Supreme Court
was opened yesterday morning and will
continue for the remainder of the week
During the day the court disposed of
the case of Oahu College VS.. Tax AS
SCISSOR; and the Territory OF Hawaii vs.
a. Fernandez. The latter case is a test
of the law for protection against eX
plosives. The defendant was arrested
for storing kerosene, and was fined for
keeping explosives in greater quantity
than allowed by law. The question ar
gued before the Supreme Court, was as
to whether or not turpentine is an ex-
plosive.
Among the important cases on the
calendar for the session are the Ferris
and Dengiro murder cases. The Motley
will case is also on the calendar.
The case of Territory VS.. Aki is to
be submitted on briefs.

EXTRA SESSION

Again the Territory will hive to pay
for an extra session Of the legislature
This Is practically settled, as much 90
as anything that has not come TO pass,
and the prospect is just as good, that
the men who have forced this condition.
will fail to convince the executive that
they should have an extension OF the
session that they may consider general
measures.
When the House Committee on FL
nance yesterday decided to not report
Immediately the appropriation bills the
seal was set on the ending of the sixty
days without decided attempt to COM
plete the work for which Congress set
apart the two months of the legisla-
tive period. Thus will the Legislature
have shown in two direct instances the
contempt that is felt for the United
States Congress. After the National
Legislature had refused statehood to
two territories in which languages 9TH
er than the English are used largely,
the Hawaiians passed a resolution ask
ing that their language be made an
official: tongue here. And again, when
Congress had given to this Territory
the same length of session that Is de-
manded for the business of the major
ity Of the States of the Union, they
simply decline to be guided by the wish
of the supreme lawmaking power and
declare that it is obligatory that the
Governor call an extra session when
they fail of their duty. So they will get
the extra time, and the extra months
pay as well.
Our nearest neighbor California,
with more than ten times the pOpula-
ton Of Hawaii. with a senator to elect,
and that means lot of pulling and
hauling about manages to get through
it's legislative work in sixty days. The
same is true of the great states of the
Middle West and of some of the largest
states of the East and South. Yet here,
with small population and small inter-
ests, more time is needed.
There is no showing on which the |
Legislature, now past the period dur |
ing which it could pass bills, and make |
them law despite the veto of the Gov
ernor is entitled to be considered as |
willing to pass laws for the general |
good If permitted to continue in ses- |
sion. The fiscal legislation is neces-
sary therefore they must be given
added time But further it is not like
ly the Governor will go.

on her SEVENTEEN birthday next year
the Empress Dowager OF China should
receive present of 100 golden Bud
dhas, the same thing having been done
las the Nc. Daily News explains) up
on the attainment of the SEVENTEEN
birthday anniversaries OF the Emper-
ors K'aug Hsi' and CHEN Lung. Then
the weight of the golden Buddhas was
no less than, say, fifty taels' weight
each, but the impoverished state of the
exchequer in Picking and the exceed
ingly high price of pure gold preclude
this at the present day, and so 1t has
been suggested that from their an
cestral hoard and the golden boards of
their husbands, Manchu and Mongol
Princesses and Duchesses shall con-
tribute the precious metal for the cast
ing OF the Buddhas i'm question, but,
of course of a size much smaller than
those made over two centuries ago.
