No Delegates from Hawaii.

1t was expected that the delegates
of the Hawaii japanese. to be sent to
lay the desires of their fellow laborers
before the local officials of the Planters
Association, would have arrived here
yesterday, it being known that the de-
mands have been refused by the plan
tatiOn managers, who in every case re-
ferred the delegates to w. o. Smith
They did not come, however, and it is
stated now that they will not reach
Honolulu until after July l. AS the
Hawaii laborers have agreed not to
strike or lend assistance to the strikers
before their own demands have been
considered and answered, the delay is
| helpful to those desiring to put down
the Oahu strike.
Some inside information which has
| reached town regarding the meeting of
| the Hawaii labor delegates in Hilo is
| to the effect that at the meeting it was
| debated whether it would not be adj
| visable to ask Editor Sheba to present
their case to W. o. Smith. If the in
formation be correct it would indicate
! that the Hawaii. Japanese are less in
sympathy with the Oahu strikers than
has been suspected. In any event, they
show better judgment IN desiring to
have their case presented by a respon-
! sible and conservative man than they
would have if they had wanted to con

resolution declaring that every

government relative to any subject
over which Congress has control

was a rebuke aimed at President
Roosevelt for instructing the
Attorney General not to give in
formation for which they had
asked. In speaking of this reso-
luton Mr.. Bacon said: This is

4 llAW txAlti,

The recent controversy IN Coo
gross has brought forth some
revelations that are startling. to
say the least Of t. Not only has
Senator Tillman shown that the
President,i in his over-zeaIous desir
to vent his spleen on those who
have opposed and criticised his
policies and methods. but he has
used the detective force of the
government to invade the personal
effects of those he arraigned in
order to seek private information
on which to base his accusations.
Never in the history of the United
States has it been koown that a
President has used this source TO
shadow and collect evidence to
make cases against any person in
public and private life against
whom the President might have
/ grudge, OF whose hostility he
might have reason to fear" The
New Orleaus picayune. in COM
menting on this phase Of this con-
troversy. further adds:
This is precisely tn, function oil
the infamous third section" oil
the secret Russian police. whose
existence and acts have done more
Than anything else to cast odium
upon the Russian despoti>m and
to deprive the people oi all sense
of security and protection in their
homes.
Never before has the u ed
States Secret Service been known
TO be employed in shadowine
Senators. Representatives in Con-
gress and other high public eff
Gals for any purpose, but, how
ever hateful and norrifying the
practice may seem, its hideous-
ness is intensified by The idea that
this national secret police force
was specially used to keep watch
on the Presidents political an
personal enemies Every senator
and representative in Congress,
and even judges of the Federal
Courts. are likely to be oppressed
with the thought that their every
act and movement is under police
surveillance and inspection.
1t would seem that the Russian

marvelously alike.

Defining State Lines.

The proposal to enact legislation in
congress this winter to define the
limits of state from national authority
is apt to prove n of the most diff
cult as we'll as most interesting efforts
of the session. So frequent have the
discussions been of late concerning the
overlapping of state rights by federal
authority that ONE such movement is
not to be regarded as unusual.
Although the broad safeguarding Of
state powers is provided for in the
constitution, some specific subjects
seem to call for illumination. The
question of the extent of the obligation
of governmental treaties with foreign
nations is still a possible source of con
fict, as witness the recent case when
the national administration had to
seek an adjustment of local legislation
with San Francisco governing the
Japanese in the schools. In this con-
nection 1t is suggested that state" or
municipal authorities should be held
to accoun as offenders against the
United States If they enact regulations
infringing upon treaty rights or obliga-
lions.
With the existence of such wide To-
cal variations of sentiment, 1t would
be well to have it finally understood
how far school OF other laws may go
affecting racial feeling, for 1t would
be unfortunate to have another such
dilemma arise as that in California.
The treaty powers of the nation are
well defined, and no state need have
any real fear that its commonwealth
rights will be infringed, yet any pro-
posed law to punish city or state au-
thorities for violating treaty obliga-
lions will surely be combatted by those
fearing a restriction of commonwealth
authority.
Certain state prerogatives will be
vigorously asserted, such as water
power rights, whose conservation each
state will continue to regard as largely
local, and the very thought Of
federal encroachment on states rights
will elicit hostility from many quar-
tiers. The fact, however, that Senator
Root, who is supposed to be fathering
the proposed legislation. has already
recorded himself firmly for no sur
render of state rights, should have a
reassuring effect. Probably all that
will be sought in this attempt to define
a line Of cleavage between states and
federal government will be a mutually
satisfactory understanding which shall
serve to prevent unnecessary friction
from overlapping state and federal in
terests.

A Man of Mystery.

The mysterious vanishing of DIT.
Cook. quondam explorer Of peaks and
poles, affords a theatrical revival Of
interest in a personality that of late
had become somewhat submerged.
There would be nothing strange in the
fact that the Peary con%troversialist
had sought sanctuary with the knowl-
edge of his intimates, but when those
who have been his most loyal sustain
ers show that they are nettled by his
conduct, the doctor can hardly blame
the still skeptical public from making
cynical comment.

titled to quiet and rest, and even his

MsxioO-Its Assailants and Defenders

Mexico-Its Assailants and Defenders
Simultaneous attacks on Mexico in
books and magazines are bringing out,
as was naturally to have been ex-
pected, various r~ejoinders defending
the government n people OF Mexico
against charges of being inhumau and
barbarous. The numerous stories
about Mexican peonage and slavery,
resort to abuse and violence upon help
less unfortunates and rigid suppress
sion of political opposition go into such
details as to give the impression that
they are based upon some foundation
Of truth, although doubtless either
highly colored and exaggerated or en-
phasizing the exceptional rather than
the customary practices.
No doubt some Mexican could, il he
wished, devote a few months to visit
ing different parts of this country and
by picking up here and there examples
Of lawlessness, cruelty and outrage,
make an equally heart-rending show
ing about "barbarous United States
but that still would not be a correct
picture Of the life and habits Of our
people. Much depends, therefore,
upon the attitude and the purpose of
a critic, whether aiming to remedy
evils and redress grievances or seeking
merely to attract attention by sensa-
tional statements.
Mexico without question appears
barbaTOus to us in many of its aspects
and has a long way yet to travel to
reach the level of the most advanced
and civilized countries. Gross iniqui-
ties are frequently perpetrated there
and the common people stand for
much oppression which would not be
tamely tolerated here. But Mexico
has also made tremendous progress in
the last twenty-five or, thirty years and,
d~espotic as the Diaz government may
be denounced, it is universally ad-
mitted to be a great Improvement over
what went before.
Mexico is Just now enIisting the
activities of. American energy and
American capital in the development
of it's natural and in many
branches of industry, and this leaven
will surely in a short time exert a
potent influence against the barbarous
customs that still linger.

Where improvement is Possible.

Strangers a sometimes see things

stantly on the ground, and we'll
directed criticism from abroad may
open u eyes to faults that can be
cured. The following from the Lin
coin Journal contains some suggestions
that could be useful to us In Omaha IL
we would only act upon them:
Many Lincoln people visited Omaha on
Thanksgiving day in the neighborly ex-
change Of dinner civilitles between the
states capital and metropolis, and some Of
these bring back appalling tales Of the con-
dition Of Omaha streets. Said a lady:
The streets Of Lincoln have been muddy,
but they are like palace floors com
pared with those Of Omaha. I had been
walking about the streets at home without
rubbers and It never occurred to me to pro-
vide a protection for my shoes. In conse-
quence we were obliged to hunt up a boot
black before going to the friends home
where we were to dine. as It was impossi-
bic to keep out of the thick gravy-like
mud which covered all the crossings. The
Omaha cars, too, made me less grouchy
about those furnished to our own city. We
may have happened to get seats in the
Oldest ones, but however that may be, we
rode in those of the old-fashioned style
with seats along the sides and a stove in
the middle, which Lincoln began to discard
ten or more years ago."
There is no question but that we in
Omaha are often too careless about
the things which are first seen by a
stranger and make the impression
which the visitor carries away with
him. Omaha invariably strikes the
stranger forcibly as a live, bustling,
growing city, and this favorable opin-
ion should not be marred by petty an
noyances and drawbacks that could
and should be remedied.
