legal questions are involved that ii is
predicted 4 long discussion would re
suit from any attempt to determine
whether the President had proceeded in
a wrongful manner. His communication
to the Senate suggests that the only ac-
ton taken by him was TO say that he
saw no reason why he should interfere
to prevent the merger. This is CON
strued variousIy by members of the

50 far as to say that ii amounted to an

to prosecute the merger even if it was

L. Johnson's bill prohibiting aliens from

dent Roosevelt objected, was refused
passage in the Assembly today by vote
of 81 to 10.
This vote shows heavy falling oil
Of support for the measure since yester-

provided for the insertion in the exist
ing law OF the word Japanese COM
pelling children Of that race to attend
separate schools as "MOngolians" and
Indians" are compelled to DO now. This
bill passed.
The other was an act to confer power
upon municipalities to protect the health,
morals and peace of their inhabitants 10y
restricting undesirable, improper and
unhealthy persons and persons whose
practices are dangerous to public morals,
health and peace TO certain prescribed
limits The bill failed to pass.
John j. McManuS and Charles a. Mel
son of San Francisco, spoke III favor OF
tile segregation bills.
With the defeat of the Drew bill in the
Assembly yesterday, al nope OF pass
ing any Of the anti-Japenese measures
was practically abandoned. One Of the
remarkable features of the defeat Of the
bill was the fact that it was accom-
plishcd in the face of an audience Of
2OOO people, who wildly applauded every
anti-Japauese sentiment.
Both sides made dramatic appeals to
the packed galleries and in one of these
Nathan G. Coghlan, a San Francisco
assemblyman, who was an opponent OF
the bill. made a bitter attack on the
Japanese. He has a large labor union
constituency and his opposition was
based on the plea that the bill would be
distinctly harmful to labor by driving
capital away.
Governor Is Pleased.
Gov. Gillett was highly pleased with
the action of the Assembly. 1t is eX-
pected he will now proceed with the
measure which is designed to obtain an
exact census of the japanese i'll this
state Most Of the opposition to the bill,
according to the speeches of its oppo-
nents was based either on grounds eX-
traneOus to the japanese question, or on
the argument that its passage would re
tard rather than hasten the exclusion Of
the japanese from this country.

THE LAW MILLS

All the law mills in which Astoria
has definite interest, were in opera
ton yesterday. Congress, Legislature
and Council, and she has faint hope
that from one Of the three something
Of good may come to her. We are
q hopeful lot, anyway; always on the
lookout for some blunder in iegisla-
tion that may be turned to popular
account and utilized at such variance
with the organic idea that prompted
it, that it really may be made to
serve, where it was intended hinder.
AS people. we have such incalcu-
liable measure of law; so many
schools Of it; such a diffusion Of
principles, practices, professions;
such sea OF conflicting predicate
and precept; such an infnitude Of
machinery, courts, rules, regulations
and reasons, that we are eternally on
the verge of positive contempt. and
are only saved from the lapse by the
reflection that, at last, it is the only
thing we have to turn to for the pre-
servation and perpetuation of those
things we have learned to cherish.
But all the same, we have too much
Of it.
If one tenth of the laws Of the land
were honestly obeyed. no better dem
onstration of the inutility of the
other nine-tenths would be needed.
We are lawless lot, alright, and
directly responsible for the deluge
we complain of; and while much of
the law is superhuous, fne-spun, en-
pirical, and useless, it stands for
something better than our own paltry
neglect of its best demands.
