THE AMERICA MARU.

The T. X. K. steamship America Ma
ru arrived from San Francisco and de-
parted for the Orient yesterday on
what is supposed to be her last run
on this route. She is the oldest of the
three I. X. X. steamships on this run,
and will probably be put on one of
the South American routes of the com
pany. She will be replaced by the
Tenyo Maru the first turbine steamer
ever built in Japan The America
Maru arrived at 230 in the afternoon
and sailed at clock Alongside of
her as she lay at the Haekfeld wharf
was the Kasato Maru, which until
last June was commanded by Captain
Filmer, the younger son of Captain
Filmer of the America Maru. When
the America Maru was in port last the
Fort George was here, vessel of
which the son was once chief officer.
FILIPINO WIVES OF NEGROES.
The sailing of the transport sher-
man yesterday afternoon attracted more
attention and interest than the sailing
of transports usually do. There was
a very large crowd at the wharf to-
see her off. The Hawaiian band. under
the direction of Captain Berger, play
ed a concert for two hours before the
vessel sailed, and this was much en-
joyed. The applause was hearty and
frequent

A PerniCiOuS Measure.

Senator Hepburn is to be commended for his
opposition to the Smoot Bill allowing settlers to
take up 800 acre homesteads. The tendency very
properly is diminish the farm unit to increase
it. The Smoot contention is that these lands are
dry farming lands. 1t proposed at one stage of
the bill to confine entrymen to citizens of the state
This contrary to the spirit and intent of all
land laws that the idea has been abandoned.
This bill is not in the interest of the settler from
other states. What we need is immigration from
the older and more thickly settled statesmen of
family and some means who will come here to make
homes We do not want to encourage land speCula-
tors, and our farm units should be kept small. 1t
looks as though, under the BILL lands can be taken
up along streams for a considerable distance thus
controlling the range
The bill is not in the interest of or for the
enlargement of the homebuder. We think Senator
Borah and Congressman French should join with
Senator Hepburn in opposition to this measure.
1t appears that Senator Hepburn has eliminated
Idaho from the provisions of the bill, if it passes,
and that Senator Borah and Congressman French
trying to have Idaho brought under the operation of
the Act
There may be some peculiar why Sen
ator Smoot this legislation for Utah, but there
are no sound arguments for doubling the amount of
Idaho.

A Proposed Amendment.

During the last legislative session in Idaho a
resolution was adopted for constitutional amend
ment of than ordinary Importance, and upon the
proposition to amend the constitution the people
to vote in November
The proposed amendment provides for the abolition
of district and probate courts and the
tan of superior courts The superior courts are
to have the jurisdiction of district courts and of
probate courts and there is to be judge for each
county.
The proposed constitutional amendment contem-
plates radical changes in existing methods that
of such great Importance that they ought to be we'll
considered before the time arrives for voting 1t
may be that there is not yet much business for pro-
bate courts in this state but the time is not far dis
tant when they will have plenty to do.
In many of the newer states, instead of dscontin-
uing probate courts, their jurisdiction enlarged,
under the of county courts, and they
thorized to relieve the district courts of the minor
business that comes before those tribunals dividing
the work between the two and giving the lesser
courts some thing to do when not engaged with pro-
bate business.
The district Cor circuit) court is a we'll estab
lished institution and unless there good reasons
for its abolition the people will probably prefer to
retain it.

Invited to Japan.

In response to an invitation from the Mikado the
American batt1eship fleet is to visit Japan and there
receive the honors of the dominant power of the or
lent When the fleet started upon its cruise, vivid
public imagination assigned to it mission of war
against Japan while it was the conservative belief
that the movement of the ships intended to i'm
press Japan with comprehension of the naval
strength OF the western Republic
Instead the western Republic is to be the guest of
the eastern monarchy and fluctuations will be
changed and the past reviewed, dating back to the
arrival at Japan of that other American fleet the
one that bazed the way to Japanese civilization and
its final controlling position in the east.
There have been many unprovoked and unneces-
sary reports of strained relations between the United
States and Japan which these friendly overtures will
dispell The interchange of courtesies will be pro-

in Japanese waters about week and will visit the
principal ports
At the close of the review at San Francisco Rear

recton and he will be succeeded by Rear Admiral
Thomas who will remain in charge until the cruise
of the Pacific coast is completed.
The fleet will depart on its cruise around the

March. 1t will visit the Hawaiian Islands, Samoa,
Melbourne, Sydney, Manila, Japan, China and re-
turn via the Suez canal.
