A Record Case.

What in many respects is the
most remarkable criminal case in
the history of the United States has
reached a climax in the conviction
of murder in the first degree in
Boston of nine defendants charged
with instigating and committing the
crime that resulted in the death of
four Orienjals in Chinatown last
August. But for the death that
occurred in the Tombs last week,
the number of the convictions
would undoubtedly be ten. The
ease, measured by the extent of the
verdict, is even more remarkable
than that involving the anarchists
tried in Chicago in 1887. In that
case the number of men convicted
was eight. Four were hanged, two
went to prison for life, and one for
fifteen years, and the eighth com
mitted suicide.
The Government appears to have
established its claim that the crime
through which these nine Cinnamon
now face the electric chair arose
from the effort of a secret society,
the Hep Sing Tong. to levy tribute
on members of the Yellow Race in
and around this city. According to
the verdict, one of the defendants.
a former Government inspector and
court interpreter stands convicted
of designing the foul and atrocious
murders" This man is one OF the
comparatively few Cinnamon in the
country who have the privileges of
citizenship.
Of course. the chief interest in
the case is that each of the con-
pirators has been found guilty as a
principal of murder. But it is hardly
less to be noted that these princi-
pals were Cinnamon, that for once
their Oriental seeretiveness did not
avert conviction, and that the com
plete foreignness of their language,
customs, and affiliations did not pre-
vent a jury of plain Americans from
fastening on them the responsible
ity for their crime. Every city with
a Chinatown looks on at the com
mission in that town Of offenses
wholly disprcportionate in number
to the population, and a record Of
failures of justice not less out of
reckoning. 1t is, indeed, remarkable
that the record case should have
dealt with settlers of this race.

TO AMEND THE CONSTITUTION
AMBITIOUS PROGRAMS ADOPTED
By OKLAHOMA.
Youngest Of the States Tries to Show
the Way Of Reform to It's
Older Associates.

Oklahoma. the. newest state in the
Union through it's governor. c. N. Has
kell, is leading the van Of reform and
proposes by precept and example to en-
deavor to get her sister states lined up
in support of five proposed amendments
to the Constitution of the United States.
In an executive proclamation under
date of April 70, Gov. Haskell declares
Thursday May I. a legal holiday through
out Oklahoma. and in order that. with
the suspension of all legal business. our
people may assemble and confer together.
l urge that all advocates of good govern
ment-the farmers in their lodgeroofns,
the commercial clubs in their halls, the
laborers in their unions. all societies for
the promotions of morals and intelngence.
all YOU who believe that the laborer IL
worthy of his hire, that the home is sa-
cred and that domestic happiness snouio
be prometed-may assemble and adopt
resolutions demanding your congress
mans and senator's support or tneSe nNe
amendments to the Constitution. and ne
fore you rest mail your resolution ~

tical manner; all promise and no results

government-that our sister s. .ae;T
power Let us hope that from ocean 10
ocean the voice of such people, assemcAeo
i'm every community in every state, may
add it's command.
Down at the bottom of the proclama-
ton in great big letters appears the ad-
monition do it now! Action deferred is
opportunity lost.
The five proposed amendments are to
elect United States senators by direct
vote to legalize an income tax. to make
constitutional an employers liability law,
to provide against interruption of the
states in the regulation OF carrying
charges within the state and the prohibi-
ton of merging of competing common
carriers. and to leave to every state the
right of it's own people to enforce moral
ity and protection to honest labor without
federal aid.
The proclamation is somewhat strik-
ing document Shall the creatures of
God or the creatures of the legislature
rule the country?" it asks. The past
and the present warn us-the general gov
eminent must be brought nearer the peo-
Pile. Bring the United States Senate near
er the people. that just laws may be given
us. All pledges of future action are stale
with age. and the path of the past is
strewn with the wrecks of the peoples
fondest hopes. Loud acclaim and fierce
denunciation still leave the people with
empty hands.
