 With the greatest reluctance gave up these lifelong companions, and drank milk, milk-until the very step of the milkman grew hateful.

ism. The treaty of peace concluded by Schmitx, Roosevelt and the Mikado In the notifications of the immigration bill conclusiveIy demonstrates this fact, and further, that Sand Lottism has had its way. Japanese children able to speak English are not to be excluded from white schools. Adults and those unable to speak English are to go to schools specially provided for Orientals, arrangements to which no one at any time objected. All this high talk about preserving white chil- dren from association with these con- dominating little Orientals vanished like mist when the labor union Mayor and School Board of San Francisco bluffed the President of the United States into a stultifying agreement that laborers of Japan shall be exclud- ed from the continent. People on the Pacific coast who want to employ labor must now submit to have it's quality, quantity, price and hours dictated by one of the most corrupt and ignorant and rapacious monopolies that ever cursed this continent.

ALL MUST FARE ALIKE.

In the sse of Smith vs. L. and N. R. R. Co.,, 75 Alabama, 449. the Supreme Court of Alabama. held. Tt is not competent for the Legislature to sub ject corporations or private associa- tions to @ liability to which natural persons are not subject. The statute, Code of 1876. Section 2s99), subjects corporations or private associations to a liability for a wrongful act or omis- sion, causing the death of an infant, is unconstitutional" In that case the statute gave an action where the wrong or omission was by corporation, and did not give any if 1t was by private liverad the opinion. In the course of it, he said: Tt will be observed that un- der the statute the action lies only against certain classes. corporations and private associations of persons. These are held accountable for the wrongful act or omissions of their of- ficers and agents. Individuals engaged in the same business having the same description of officers or agents, may cause the death of a minor child by the wrongful act or omission of such officers or agents. and there will be no liability for such death. To Illustrates: Manufacturing establishments in all their extensive variety. mining enter prises,g cotton congresses, mills steam vessels. and even railroads. may be opened and operated without incorpo- ration by single proprietor. These, however, are not within the law and for the death of a minor child, caused by the wrongful act or omission of an agent of such enterprise, neither the father nor mother can maintain suit If, however. there be more owners than one. or if the enterprise be incorpor- ated, then the statute gives a right of action to the father, if living, and to the mother. if he be dead. This is the precise difference that the statute makes, although the character of busi- ness and the wrongful act or omission of the agent be in each case the same. How this will work will readily suggest itself" In drawing up bill reguIat- ing suits for damages, it would be well for the regulators In the Legislature to read and consider the above opinion written by one of Alabama's greatest jurists.

Director North and Secretary Straus
 Continue To Dodge Labor.
 Washington, Feb. 22-More corres- pondence on the question of what bu- reau of the government should take up the investigation into the conditions of women and child labor, was made public at the White House today.
 The House yesterday decided that this work should properly be done by Director North had expressed to the Appropriations Committee the opinion that the Bureau of Labor of the De- partment of Commerce and Labor should conduct the inquiry. The cor respondence given out today consists of two letters from Secretary Straus of the Department of Commerce and La Dor, one addressed to the President, agreeing with him that the inquiry should be made. by the labor bureau, adding that the researches contem- plated, which will be largely socio- logical in their nature,' should be per- formed by that bureau; and the other, addressed to Chairman Tawney of the Appropriations Committee, taking the ground that the further investigation directed by Congress on this subject both on account of its nature and the character of the investigation required, belongs properly under the Bureau of Labor.
 He expressed the hope that the pro- visions of the bill. which made an ap- propriation for carrying out the work under the Census Bureau, would be amended so as to permit it to be car ried out by the Bureau of Labor, with the corporation of the Census Bureau in any case in which this cooperation can be made effective.

The sense of fairness and justice inherent in the American people will revolt at the conduct of District At torney Jerome in New York in his treatment of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. In her direct examination, she testified to certain things which she had told Harry Thaw. his attorneys seeking to show that the statements had led to his temporary insanity. In Alabama, if we are not mistaken, no Judge would have allowed a prosecuting officer to force her to go over the minutest. even most disgusting details of her life, but would have confined effort to proving that she did not tell her husband the story she says she did. No matter what her past may have been, if her effort since her marriage has been to lead proper life, she should have been encouraged to put the past behind her, and not been forced to tell 1t from her own lips. It looks more like demonism than justice to treat her as she has been treated In the cross-ex- animation.

The negro conference at Tuskegee, at its second days session, adopted resolutions which directed attention to the vagrancy prevalent among young negroes and urged concerted effort to break it up. The paragraph in yester- days Advertiser was written without knowing of this action. It rests large ly with negroes themselves whether this Vagrancy evil is broken up or even mitigated.
