Senator Ben's Profitable Fun.


Senator Tillman has been having
lot of fun with the yankees the past
summer 1t was expensive fun for
the 'Yanks;" profitable fun for the
statesman. Senator Ben gathered in
about $4,000 from the Chautauqua
field and bought farm or two more
in South Carolina. Though it was
not his first season as a lecturer
probably it was his best, for the eff
feet of the advertising he gets is
cumulative.
They thought they were having
fun with me. Well, maybe they
were," said the senator with a
chuckle Il made them pay me $3.50
a night for telling them some things
about this Niger question they had
never heard before. Maybe they
didn't like it. Maybe they did.

els"

10 Triton Gazette.

From the Triton Gazette.
Congressman Griggs introduced
bill in congress Monday providing
for a limited parcels post. 1t is
thought this bill, the fruit of years
of experience on the house committee
on postofices and postroads, will
prove happy solution of the vexed
narcels post problem, giving to the
peoDle of the rural districts the bene-
fits of a cheap package mail delivery,
but at the same time keeping the
mails closed to the big mail order
houses that are so badly feared by
the local dealer, as 1t confines the
privilege strictly to the town from
which packages originate.

an INJUSTICE HAS BEEN DONE.

Congressman Griggs has in
PRODUCED a bill providing tor
parcels post system. Merchants
outside of the large cities are
generally opposed to TINS meas,
ure, believing that it Will pullu
mn the trade of mail ordeI
houses at the expense OF small
merchants Cuthbert Leader
We do not believe our Cuthbert
contemporary would Intentionally DO
Congressman Griggs the injustice 1t
has done him in the above paragraph.
Our neigbbOr has no doubt criticised
the measure without having read H.
or knowing what it is. The fact Is,
If will not only not do the very thing
The Leader insinuates it will do, but
will effectuaIK prohibit it. 1t not
only will open the rural mail routes
TO the home merchants, but Will
close them to the mail order houses.
The following extract from section
one of the bill is very plain on that
point;
Said parcels post shall be con
fined exclusively to the rural
route upon which the parcel
originates and its rural route
connections, and shall not eX-
tend beyond said route upon
which it originates and routes
with which said route connects
without the intervention of rail
way mail service, star route,
messenger or any other form of
mail service.
We are satisfied The Leader VIII
now do the proper thing by Congress-
man Griggs.

THE FARMERS UNION.

The Houston Home Journal in
speaking editorially of the Farmers
Union, an organization whose posi-
bilities for helping the agricultural
interests of the south are great if it
is properly supported, says:
The Farmers Union pro-
poses to help the farmers, and
all the farmers should cordially
cooperate to help the Union.
The members of the Union are
units in the proposed good work,
and the onus is upon them to
prove the value of the organi-
cation to their neighbOrs. Each
member should determine that
this year he will do better farm
ING than he did last year, for
all the theories are worthless
unless they are used to produce
better results.
The Home Journal makes the same
suggestion that was made sometime
ago nv President j. H. Smith OF the
Rronwood Union of Terrell county
that each local Union engage IN pre-
mimi contests for the best yields
If corn and cotton on one or more
acres of land. Such a contest, as
our contemporary says, cannot fall
TO give good results.

HAWAIIAN-BORN JAPANESE
ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS
Interesting Statements of Law on Subject by
Governor and Secretary---Prominent Japa-
nese Having Children Certified.

from citizenship through naturaliza-
ton
Governor F'rear, who was member
of the Hawaiian Commission that
drafted the Organic Act and aided in
shaping it's final form at Washington
made an interesting statement to the
reporter upon the subject. He showed
that a phase of the question is still
undetermined by judicial interpreta-
ton
CAS- first drafted" the Governor
said, "the citizenship section of the
Organic Act excluded Chinese and
japanese While appearing before the
Senate committee I suggested that it
might as well include all nationalities,
and was asked to draft an amend
ment I did so and it was adopted
The Governor mentioned that the
citizenship provision of the Republic
of Hawaii's constitution was identical
with that of the United States, ex-
cepting in name of country of course.
Hence the Organic Act is harmonious
with the Federal constitution on the
subject of citizenship.
"What does that mean?" Governor
Frear asked ''The question arose in
the case of Wong Kim Ark just be-
fore annexation. 1t was held by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
five to four. that a person who was
born in the United States of alien
parents who were permanently domi-
ciled in the United States were citi-
zens.
"The court did not pass upon the
question of the citizenship of a person
born of alien parents temporarily in
the United States. SO that question
remains OPEN
Hence, it is possible that a case from
Hawaii may lead to a determination of
that open question. If the decision of
individual cases should have to turn
on the question of permanent or tenn
porary residence of parents there
would be frequent openings for hotly-
contested fights in the courts on that
question of fact.
Governor Frear went on to discuss
the size the general question might
assume in Hawaii. He stated that
japanese children in the schools now
outnumber those of any other nation
ality. unless Hawaiians and Part Ha-
waifans were counted together against
them. They probably formed about
one-fourth of the school population to-
day, having increased very rapidly
within the past six or seven years.
Before that time there were very few
japanese children in the schools.
Another thing the Governor remark
ed was that there We're more married
people among the Japanese than any
other nationality in the Territory.

~All persons who were citizens of the
Republic of Hawaii on August II, 1898,
are citizens of the United states.
''The constitution of the Republic OF
Hawaii made all persons born or nat
uralized in the Hawaiian Islands and
subject to the jurisdiction thereof citi-
zens of that republic. And the Organic
act says:
That all persons wIIo were citizens
of the Republic of Hawaii on August
twelfth, eighteen hundred and ninety
eight, are hereby declared to be citi-
zens of the United States and citizens
of the Territory of Hawaii. And all
citizens of the United States resident
in the Hawaiian Islands who were
resident there on or since August
twelfth, eighteen hundred and ninety
eight, and all the citizens Of the Uni
ted States who shall hereafter reside
in the Territory of Hawaii for one
year shall be citizens of the Territory
of Hawaii" !"
Such was the answer given by Sec
retary E. A. Mott-smith to an Adver-
tiser reporter seeking an authoritative
definition of the status of japanese
born in Hawaii before annexation.
1T was held, in 1ss U. 5. 64s," the
Secretary continued, that a Chinese
person becomes citizen of the United
States when born in the United States
no matter what the citizenship Of his
father and mother, provided the pa
rents are domiciled permanently in the
country and doing business there not
connected with the Chinese diplomatic
or consular serviceS
MIR. Mott-Smith presumed that nat

apply to japanese as well as to Chi-
nese. 1t is a different question from
