tions, have stamped their approva
upon this measure.
If the person who wrote the articl
is correct, then Secretary Strauss wa
wrong when he penned tn
following:
These outlying possessions
ALASKA, Panama, Porto Rico,
Hawaii, Guam and the Philip
pinCs) not only differ from the
body of the continental territory
as to their position and needs
with regard to labor, and immi-
grafton, but they differ likewise
among themselves. II is not to
be expected, therefore, that Il par
ticular policy of restriction in the
matter of immigration, especially
designed to meet the situation on
the mainland, should be perfectly
adapted to the needs of insular
communities. Each of these COM
munities has its own Industrial
problems to solve, and the condi-
tiOns In each should be consider
ed before It is brought within the
operation of general rule. The
need of differentiation in the reg
ulation of immigration | believe
to be obvious for the reasons stat
ed. The need was brought home
to me with great force when, dur
ing the past summer, besides act
ually viewing the administration
of the immigration laws along
the borders of Canada and on tho
Pacific Coast, personally visited
the Hawaiian Islands and saw for
myself something of the effect of
these laws upon the occupations
of the people. As a result of this
experience and of the best con-
sideration | have been able to
give to the subject, l believe that
the attention of Congress should
be directed to the question OF i'm
migration into the insular possess
sions of the United States, to the
end that the special conditions pc
culiar to these several possessions
individually may be taken into
account and expressly provided
for by legislation"

ments what could Senator Piles and
Congressman Littleheld tboth having
visited Hawaii last summer) have
meant when they made the following
statements in public:
Il visited the Hawaiian ISL
ands in company with Congress
sional party last summer, and the
people of the Islands were graft
. fed to see us because they felt
that, by our visit in body, the
continental country was at last
becoming personally interested in
their welfare. The people out
there are striving TO make known
their wonderful resources, and to
invite an immigration which will
aid in developing the Islands
along agricultural and other lines
that may be profitably pursued by
small investors"
at ought to be said for the
men engaged in the sugar indus
try, the corporations, that they
have, in my Judgment, exercised
liberal. progressive and patriotic
attitude in connection with the
question of the introduction of
the right kind of labor and it's
proper utilization in Hawaii"
The statement that the sugar
planters of Hawaii do not treat their
labor with the justice and fairness
received by such labor on the main
land is wholly false. Remember, in
the first place. that laborer and the
working members of his family, -
male and female,-can obtain en-
ployment in Hawaii during every day
of the year; that he Is furnished free
of charge a house, water, fuel, and
medical attendance; and, referring
particularly to the European immi.
grant, that his personal taxes OF five
dollars per year for three years are
borne by the plantation employing
him; that the average wage for un.
skilled field hands, on a day-wage
basis, Is s23. per month; that If he
desires to make his home on the plan.
tation employing him, for three
years, he may, at the end of that
period, acquire in fee simple, without
cost to him, an acre of land at an
average valuation of say one hundred
dollars, and house thereon costing
not less than four hundred dollars
that during the tire such laborei
lives in this country he must send his
children TO the public schools, which
are conceded TO be equal to the pub,
lie schools of any other part of the
United States; that his expenses fol
clothing and food are light wher
compared with such expenses on the
mainland. 20. ''
Compare these conditions with
those existing on the mainland fol
unskilled field hands, with no settled
MONIES, WORKING steadily but siA
months OF the year, and we doubt II
any unprejudiced observer would say
that employment on the mainland
even at a higher rate of wage is pref
cradle to employment in Hawaii.
In conclusion, one further thought:
r The beet and cane sugar Industries oi
the mainland, and the cane sugar in
dustry of Hawaii, have much in com,
mon, and cooperation in many mat
ters would be mutually beneficial;
but such cooperation will never be
brought about, and no mutual under
standings will ever be arrived at, sc

perhaps, but, nevertheless, very vi

to be such whether the beet and cane

New Yorl1-Two hundred and fifty pieces of the theatrical wardrobe of Ed win Booth, the tragedian, and nearly as many pieces of furniture and bric-a-brac from his collection were sold at auction here today. Scarcely a hundred people were present and the prices paid for the various articles were considered small.

THE NEWLYwEDs," STAGED,


 Rochester, N. T., Dispatch to the New
 York Evening World.
 Napoleon Newlywed" walked into a big success at his debut at the Lyceum Monday night, where a crowded house applauded and encored continuously showing it's approval in most positive style From the start the comedy went with vim.
 George McManus, the artist creator of the Newlywed pictures, was in box, an dafter the uproarious ending of the first act the audience demanded a speech and the embarrassed young artist spoke briefly.
 The Leffler company staged "The Newlyweds and Their Baby" in elab- crate style. The book Is by Aaron Hoffman and Paul West, while kthe music and lyrics are by Seyriour Brown, Nat D. Aver and John w. Brat ton.
 The first big hit that brought pro longed applause was "The Boogie Boo" sung by William Clifton as New lywed. and a pony ballet of eight girls in nigh ties and lace. Half dozen times they were recalled. "Sleepyland,' by Flavia Arcaro and chorus, also was wildly received. Ruby Ray, as Mrs. Newlywed, filled the part which Artist McManus has made famous in whally delightful manner.

CONGRESSMAN WILEY.

From the Washington Herald
 The Second Alabama district seems to belong to the Wiley family by in heritance. Ariosto Appling Wiley rep resented that district for eight years nearly, and at his death, less than a year ago, Oliver Cicero Wiley was elected to succeed him. The Wileys were men of ability, had made good, and the Alabamians of the Second district were satisfied to continue them in office. Oliver Cicero is well equipped to carry out the work started by his brother for the remainder of the Sixtieth Congress. His life has been one of achievements. For five years he was a member of the town council of his native heath, Troy He was chairman of the democratic state executive committee for two years, president of the Alabama Midland rail way during it's construction, and is connected with the directory of the State Normal college.
 Representative Wiley is a business man and interested in many enter prlses. Unless the life in Washington proves unusually attractive to him, he will retire March to attend to his personal affairs.

A PERFECT FIT.

From the Washington Herald
 'Maude odell, the English beauty, has a perfect hgure."- Scranton Tribune.
 Indeedl Important if true! But what is a perfect figure?" Is it tall or short. large or small, modelled on straight lines, CT fashioned in curves?
 Tastes will differ, we apprehend. Points of view will control individual opinion. The Venus de Milo may be a fine ex ample of the perfect figure, but the styles of this day and time do not bear out the assumption. To those who revel in beauty au naturel as it were, this Grecian specimen is the exempliflcation of an ul- innate type not to be questioned. It may be that this is the only true atti tude from which We should view the prob lem. Certainly, the Venus cited is ap- parently satisfactory enough from physiological standpoint, if not from the arbitrary standpoint of the fashion-fixers.
 Beauty as has been observed, is in the eye of the beholder; very, very much in that eye, we think. If it were not so, we should be iE q bad way for an equitable adjustment Of things in this world. Cleo Iatra appealed to Antony, and many of his esteemed contemporaries wondered at his taste, no doubt. Elizabeth attracted the eye of Raleigh, Anne Boleyn the ann orous glances of Bluff King Hal," and Louise de Ia Valerie upset the young emotions of the great Louis of France; but 1t does not follow that any of these women woull have been rated beautifully by plain, everyday John Smith, whose concerted and syndieated opinion is the final verdict always.
 AS beauty is only skin deep, so are types but things of the moment. Helen o: Troy was blond or brunette-nobody knows which. Therefore, every man con- ceives Helen to have been a creature after his own ideals of loveliness. Wheth- CT her locks reflected the scintilating rays of the monday sun or the midnight dark ress of the ravens wing is not impor- tant. She is universally conceded to have been a woman of surpassing physical at- tIactiveness, more especially because ske status than otherwise.
 Says Edward Young, in "The Love of Fame:'
 What female beauty, but an air divine, Through which the minds all-gentle
 glances shine?
 They, like the sun, irradiate all between; The body charms, because the soul is
 seen.
 Hence men are often captives of face, They know not why of no peculiar grace. Some forms, though bright, no mortal
 man can bear;
 Some none resist, though not exceeding

Maine Initiative and Referendum

At her last state election the far eastern state of Maine boldly accepted as part of her fundamental law the policy known as the initiative and referendum. Under the constitution as it now stands no law goes into eff feet until 90 days have elapsed after it has been signed by the governor. In that 90 days a petition of 10000 of qualified voters will refer it to the people. The 10000 are initiative and the people are the referendum. When a law is referred to the people it's op- eration is stayed until the next gen. eral election, when a majority vote can make 1t law.
 Nor is this all If 12,OO0 voters ask the legislature to pass any desired measure, the measure must be intro duced. If the legislature rejects it the people may demand a referendum at the next general election, and majority of the voters can then make it law despite the legislatures re- fusal to pass it.
 This example of direct legislation by the people of an eastern state will be closely watched and criticised by the bosses and machine politicians of that section of the country. Between the primary and the initiative and referen- dunn the politicians see their power for plunder and for making objectionable laws disappearing, and they will en- deavor to render the new Maine law inefficient. Maine is, however, stub born state, and she can be trusted to test constitutional provision fully and fairly. The chances are that the initiative and referendum has gained in the east permanent foothold.

BiTmln9ham'S Public Spirit

The rapid development of public spirit in Birmingham is remarked by citizens in general and 1t Is putting everybody in a good humor. Time was when public spirit was little in evil dence in this town. Nature had done so much for the Birmingham district, and coal and iron had so advertised Birmingham throughout the world that there was not the same urgent need of cooperation and civic pride on the part of our people in the early days as was the case in less favored communities. But few years ago q score or more of Birmingham's pro- gressive citizens started up a campaign of education along public-spirited lines "a campaign for doing things for the city's good and for enhancing the repu- tation of Birmingham as a metropoli. tan city.
 The splendid success of the Confed- crate reunion last June was the result of hospitality and public spirit com bined. The success of that great event was so pronounced indeed that it was a revelation to the people of Birming- ham themselves. It showed what could be done by cooperation and we'll directed effort. The reunion marked new era in Birmingham's onward march and out of it came the public spirit that is now giving us a magnifl- cent chamber of commerce building. And out of this recent public spirit is coming, too, the music festival on a large scale as an annual institution. Not only will the festival be educative and delightful, unsteady considered, but it will draw hundreds of visitors to Birmingham and will rebound to the city's credit from every point of view.
 We are reaching the stage when the pull-together spirit must become pro- verbal here. Nothing can unmake Birmingham, but the new public spirit will cause it to bound forward at a rate such as our old prophets never dreamed of. The chamber of com- merce we have in sight and the per manent music festival will have it's initial performance on the 9rd day of May next.

CANNED TRoussEAU.
Wedding Gown Treasured By Petruccio
 Tn Sealed Tin.

From the New York World.
 A canned trouseau is the latest in the line of timed goods When the customs inspectors came to open the trunk of Dominica Petruccio. passen- ger from Italy on the Koenlgin Luise, yesterday, they came across several tin cases carefully sealed.
 A can opener was produced by the carpenter on the pier. The first box was about IS inches long, 10 inches wide and two inches deep. When part of the lid had been cut away there was disclosed an antique garment of red silk and lace.
 Petruecio handled the dress rever- ently and pressed it to his lips, It was the wedding gown of his mother and had been also the wedding gown of his grandmother, t-grandmothe and several grandmoth CTS preceding.
 In other cans were faded slippers, corsets and various articles of femi- nine attire.
 In Fl Paso, Tex, Petruccio explained, was Maria Consentino, his adored, who was going to wear the ancestral bridal outfit next week.
 The appraiser said the entire ward robe was worth $23O and Petruecio need pay no duty to Uncle Sam.

TUNE FOR LOEB.
Will Edit Paper In St. Paul to Down
 Johnson.

Special Dispatch to The Cincinnati En-
 quirer.
 New York.-If Secretary Loeb takes the editorial helm of the St. Paul Dispatch it will be only on the assurance that republican capitalists have constituted and organized a fund ample enough to warrant liberal and unrestricted course in the publication of that newspaper for at least four years to come.
 Efforts are making in this city by agents of the administration and friends of Sec retary Loeb to garner that needed pile Republicans of wealth, as well as repub- lican officeholders, are being asked, How much will you give toward the Loeb fund? and this explanation follows:
 As a reward for his services Loeb is to be given absolute control of the St. Paul Dispatch for the prime purpose of down. ing the presidential aspirations of dem- ocratio Governor Johnson of Minnesota.
 When Johnson carried republican min nesota overwhelmingly last election the Secretary Loeb was foremost in declaring that "something must be done" Then came the proffer to him of the manager ship-business and editorlal-of the St. Paul Dispatch.
 Every available republican moneyed source is being actively tapped to take care of Loeb.
