The semi-weekly messenger. [volume] (Wilmington, N.C.) 1897-1908, 1905-04-28


When R~ojestvensky started out from
Madagascar the Russians bo%astfully
declared that he was in search of To-
COS fleet: that he wanted to find the
latter and attack it on the open sea or
anywhere else that he came up with
it. Now they are Dragging over the
Russian admiraI's skill in fOOling the
Japanese with his decOy golfers and in
thus far avoiding their warships. We
would like to know what that Russian
really wants to do. If the truth were
known we expect it would be found
that neither wants a pitched battle in
the open. The Russian hopes to reach
VladivOstok without sight of a single
vessel of the enemy, and Togo is
watching him and hoping to be able to
take him at disadvantage when he will
be more sure of victory. He is too
willy to risk a decisive battle in the
open sea. Had he desired such he
could have brought it about long ago.
R~ojestvensky deserves no credit for
having avoided the enemy thus far.
When Togo wants to attack him he
will find him.

the channel is a circuitous one. Its
reference TO Southport as having to
reach it's harbor by a tortuous journey
down the stream for we do not know
how many miles makes any u laugh
who is acquainted with the situation
of the North Carolina town. II South
port is not right by the side of its
own harbor'' we do not know whose
farbor it is beside. 1t is surely mighty
close beside somebody's harbor, being
right upon the river bank, with a
broad, land-locked bay with deep
water reaching right up to her
wharves, which are exactly half the
distance from the ocean as are those
of Charleston nearest to it. We agree
with The News and Courier in its con-
tention hat the proposed railroad
should seek for itself a terminus by
the side of the ocean and not stop at
some interior river point. It is for
this reason we advocate the location of
such terminus in Southport, at the
mouth of the Cape Fear instead of Oh
the Ashley or the Cooper river at some
point ten or more miles from the ocean.

BY Pinkham-D Did you not have the
idea that you would put them in your
yard, and send them out into the Set
Element under escort, in small partiesi
McVeigh-Yes; that was the idea.
Witness told Dickey that it was
Abraham Fernandez Of the Board of
Health and Representative Broad who
had first violated the segregation law.
Then he said it was the lepers set to
guard the gate Of his yard who had
been knocked down by n Honolulu
man, and that closed his testimony.
Abraham Fernandez, of the Board of
Health, was called and admitted vio-
lating the segregation law.
And then came Achi, who told Pink
ham that not even Governor Carter
had any power at the Molokai Settle
ment against the power of the Presi-
dent of the Board of Health, under the
law. Pinkham tried to get Achi to ad-
init that he had given away his son g
permit to somebody else, but this fail
ed, as Achi had not done it. After a
pretty sharp exchange between the
man on trial and the head of the COM
mittee. the hearing was adjourned un-
til Thursday. At that time Pinkham
will submit written statement to the
committee, and will appear to be ques-
toned.

VETO OF SUNDAY BILL
BY GOVERNOR CARTER
TINE OVERLAND LinirEo. :.
ELECTRIC LIGHTED

soda water and ice cream on Sundays.
but no argument has been advanced In
favor of allowing the small Oriental
shops all over this Territory that sell
soda water, and sometimes more, to be
open all day Sunday.
The first section of the bill prohibits
all labor on Sunday, except works Of
necessity and mercy, and then goes on
to legalize as works of necessity and
mercy no less than thirty different
kinds of occupation, irrespective Of
their nature.
Section 2, legalizes the playing Of
cards, billiards, and throwing Of dice,
all of which may be classed as ''recrea-
lions, amusements, sports or games"
provided they are not played in such
manner as to commit common nui-
sance.
The third section distinctly provides
that "This Act' (meaning all that
precedes) "shan not be construed as
permitting the conducting of any show,
etc., other than aquariums, museums,
geological gardens, and outdoor ath-
letic sports.''
Now, by turning to Section $3.50 Of
the Revised Laws, we find the defini-
ton of common nuisance applies only
to that which is without authority or
justification by law, and the question
arises as to whether the last section
does not justify by law "athletic
sports" If so, such sports could not
be restricted in any manner.
Finally, the courts of different
states appear to be in hopeless conflict
as to the authority of the Legislature
to draw a distinction, such as is pro-
vided in the third and last section. And
1t is unwise to put law into effect
! where there is probability that the
courts may decide that it denies the
equal protection of the law to all per-
! sons.
After careful study, I am forced
to the opinion that the present law,
with its defects, is better and can be
more readily enforced than this bill In
its present shape.

Hawaii

go, entitled can Act to Amend Sec
tions $3.50 and 3191 of the Revised
Laws Of Hawaii, Regulating the OBJ
servance of Sunday, and adding a
New Section Thereto which I am
unable to approve.
Leaving all religious aspects out of
the question, do not believe there
has been sufficient consideration of the
present Sunday law nor of this pro-
posed act. There is much misappre-
hension in regard to the present law,
which is not confined exclusively to
members of the Legislature; and there
is a general impression that if the
present law were enforced, restaurants
and coffee shops would be closed, street
cars stopped, and all private games and
amusements prohibited.
An examination of the statutes on
this subject in twenty different states
shows that our present law is not as
''blue" as pictured, nor is it strict,
bigoted, or Anticipated. AS a rule, the
New England States prohibit all recre-
alton on Sunday, as well as hunting
and fishing. The Southern States do
not restrict recreation, but Join those
of New England in prohibiting hunt
ing and fishing; while such states as
Ohio and Indiana make their restric-
tions apply to persons over fourteen
years Of age.
1t must be admitted by all that the
present law regulating the observance
Of the Sabbath could undoubtedly be
amended to advantage. The ideal which
should be aimed at is to provide a
day OF rest, recreation and religious
worship, and SO draft a law that each
person would be free to observe the
day in any way that does not interfere
with the observance Of it by others.
The bill is not clear in Its expression
am informed that 1t was the inten
ton to allow laundry to be collected
and delivered throughout the day, blu,
this is not the result.
The bill Is SO framed that its oper
alton will, In some respects, be dis
tinctly hindrance to quiet and rest
and it will certainly reduce the number
OF people who can now enjoy the day
as they believe best.
There has been no public demand fol
vessels to load, ranchmen to work
and trains to carry freight regularly
on Sunday. In all the expression OF
public opinion there has been no OBJ
lection stated to the peddling of wha,
