The third Territorial Legislature
which closes its regular session today.
probably about midnight or later, be-
gan its session February Is. The de-
tails Of the work 1t has done cannot be
known, Of course until after it has
finally adjourned, and the statistics
can be made up.
Both houses organized promptly on
the opening Of the session, the Senate's
proceedings on organization being like
clockwork The House was a little
more turbulent, and a little longer in
organizing but Representative Eric
Knudsen Of Kauai was chosen speaker
on the first ballot. Other officers were
elected promptly and then the flood Of
bills began coming In.
In the House there were 225 bills in
troduced, and about 175 In the Senate.
OF course a large proportion Of these
never got very far i'm the race toward
the status Of statutes, though a great
deal Of legislation, and some Of It Of
the highest importance has been ac-
complished. Both houses have work.
ed steadily. There have been no ad-
journments except from day to day
and over Sunday. on the whole COM
mittees have reported very promptly
and there has been a good deal OF hard
work in committee.
Among the important pieces Of legis-
lation accomplished may be mention
ed, first in order of time, and probably
I'm order Of Importance, the enactment
OF the provision of the statute law q
Hawaii, prepared by the so-called Code
Commission consisting Of Chief JUS
tice Frear, the present Justice Wilder,
and A. f. Judd, and assisted very ma
terially by the secretary Of the com
mission, c. f. Clemmons. This revi-
sion was enacted as one act. and was
put through both houses I'm record
time, and was promptly signed by the
governor who had recommended I'm his
message the early passage Of this mea-
sure as a convenience IN further legis-
lation which It has proved to be.
The next piece Of legislation Of po-
pular interest. in point Of time, was
the so-called Sunday law. This amend
ed the existing laws on the subject Of
the observance Of Sunday, permitting
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-04-26

certain things to be done on Sunday
which could not be done before, and
making more certain some provisions
which were undecided by the courts in
the old statutes. This bill was vetoed
by the Governor but was passed by
both houses over his veto and thus
became law about four weeks ago.
The County act Is I'm some respects
the most important piece of legislation
enacted at this session. 1t provided for
the creation and government Of coun-
ties within the territory 1t was We
toed by the governor but was passed
over his veto by both houses. though
the senate went to work at once TO
amend the bill to meet the governors
objections to it. The principal bill on
this subject is now in the governors
hands. 1t provides for revenue for the
counties, and is thought to be practi-
cally necessary for the operation OF
the county act
Another important measure is the
liquor license bill which was vetoed by
the Governor and his veto was sus-
tanned. Another license measure was
at once put on its passage. and is now
on It's way 10 the governor.
Other measures Of Importance we're
the one fixing the flash test of fuel oil
and creating a Territorial Board Of I'M
migration.
Up to two o'clock this afternoon 65
new laws had been enacted as a result
Of the session. Ninety-four bills had
been passed by both houses ana were
either I'm the governors hands or
awaiting the clerical work which will
put them there. or the bills sent to
him the governor had vetoed twelve
and in eight cases the vetoes had been
sustained.
There Is "A large volume Of business
being finally consummated this after
noon, and before midnight Governor
Carter viii probably receive twenty or
thirty more bills.
Nothing has been done with appro-
prlations during the present session.
and as a result Governor Carter will is
sue a proclamation at once calling an
extra session to pass appropriation
bills, the session to open next Monday
May /.

the Organic Act" said President Castle
indicating one of the principal grounds
on which the Supreme Court viii be
asked to rule. The examination Of
the act by Castle has not yet been
careful as to detail and he will go into
the matter further. He has called a
meeting of the executive committee of
the federation to bring the matter up.
1t is probable that the federation will
proceed to have papers prepared to
submit tie act to the Supreme court.
This viii be done in time to avoid the
pilikia which occurred under the last
county act. when an election was held
and the act was in force for ten days
before it was declared unconstitutional.

FICE AS A TEST QUESTION.

The Civic Federation will probably
undertake the testing of the County
Government act, with a view to finding
out whether it is constitutional or not
before an election is held under It. w.
r. Castle, president of the association,
has taken steps to have the matter
taken up and will have a meeting with
the executive committee to consider
what action shall be taken. He has
been examining the act, and besides de-
Gliding to work for a test has settled
upon some of the grounds upon which
the legal battle must be fought.
ut appears that the act assumes to
take away the office of High Sheriff Of
the Territory which is provided for in

THE PRESIDENT ON RACE
PROBLEn.

President Roosevelt's speech
i'm New York yesterday Mon
day is largely concerned with
the race problem in this coun-
try, which problem consists. it
is held, in so adjusting the
relations of the white and color
ed races that the rights of Meth
er will be abridged and the pro-
gress of both be promoted. The
special position of the South is
appreciatively discussed. Sym
pathy with the South is express
ed Sin the embarrassment of
conditions for which she is not
alone responsible" But a just
attitude toward the negro
should be cultivated, and this
is as much needed in the North
as in the South. "The attitude
of the North toward the negro, "
says the President. lis it far
from what it should be-" 1t is
recognized that 1.-The peculiar
circumstances of the South rem
der The problem there far great
er and far more acute" The eff
forts of public men in the South
to avert lynchings are admitted
and the President notes the de-
creased number of lynchings in
the last three months, though
he omits to note the decrease of
the special crime of which
lynching is the penalty in the
South. Very appropriately the
President calls upon the color
ed people to condemn crime and
to cooperate in bringing color
ed criminals to justice. Their
laziness and shiftlessness, he
suggests, with vice and GRIM
inality, ''are evils more potent
for harm to the black race than
all acts of oppression of white
men put together" Upon the
whole the Presidents speech
has a conciliatory tone and may
be regarded as an invitation to
the South to give him her con-
fidence. Sun.

County Commissioners
Win Case

An interesting point Of law has re-
Gently been decided by the Circuit
Court for Somerset county in the
removed case of Miller and Smart
versus the County Commissioners of
Worcester county. The plaintiffs
sued the Worcester County Commits
sioners to recover a reward claimed
to have been offered by the defendant
for information leading to the arrest
and conviction of the person who burned
certain buildings in Worcester county
The plaintiffs, who are private detectives
of Baltimore. furnished the evidence
which resulted in the conviction of the
criminal The defendants demurred to
the plaintiffs declaration. on the ground
that the offer of rewards by boards of
county commissioners for the prosecu-
tion of criminals is ultra rires; that a
crime is an offense. not against the
county in which it is committed. but
against the State; that the people of the
particular county are not more aggrieved
than the people of any other county;
that the authority of boards of county
commissioners being limited to that
which is specially or by implication
conferred upon them by statute or by
the Constitution, and having no such
authority In this State, the action could
not lie.
The court sustained the demurrer and
thus established the doctrine that CONN.,
ty commissioners In this State cannot
offer rewards for the prosecution of
criminals. Messrs. John W. Station and
William +. johnson were the attorneys
for the County Commissioners and
Messrs. Melvin and Handy appeared
for the plaintiffs.
The question was a new one in this
State. where the practice has been un-
challenged for many years, and is one
of interest now in several counties
where such rewards have recently been
offered. In justice to the Worcester
County Commissioners. the point having
been raised on their behalf. it should be
added that they also had defense on
the merits of the case, but the case
having been decided on the pleadings. it
did not come to trial on all the facts.
