plan to dam the mouth Of the Red

Atchafalaya would be Of any bene-
ct to the people o. The Red river
valley or the people Of the Qua
chita river valley. As to the en-
gince.ing features Of the scheme.
they are matters to- he con sidered
by the qualified authorities. The
fact that it is feasible is not sufIi

benefit certain interests in the

It is manifest that the inter ee ts
Of the people living along the Red
and Ouachita rivers are paramount
in this matter. If divOrcing tho
Red from the Mississippi will help
them IN any way, there could be
no reasonable objection to the pro-
ject. II it Injuries them by ham

Efforts are being made with
some degree Of success to revive

slightest degree tend to retard
this movement. In this respect
the chances of building up q large
liver traffic are better on the Qua

prevail. 1t would be just as logical
to ask Congress to suspend the duty
on an article because 1t happened 10
be scarce for the time being In the
markets Of the country; such course
would surely defeat the very objects
for which the tariff laws were en-.
acted.
The coastwise shipping laws were
originally enacted to force the build
ing at home Of such ships as were re-
quired for the home trade. Why do
not the people of Hawaii get together
and do the thing that the laws are
made to encourage them to do?
Let them build for themselves the
vessels they need in order not only
to take care OF the present trade but
to increase the trade to possibly many
times its present proportions. II is
not unlikely that steamers which
could make the trip from San Fran
cisco to Honolulu in four and half
days would greatly increase the
tourist travel. Two boats would give
weekly service both ways. have
myself prepared plans for a fast boat
which would give the necessary ae-
commodation, speed, and comforts re-
CURED by the Service. Such vessels
would cost about 1880 900. each.
There should be no difficulty In find.
ing the necessary capital tor such an
enterprise among the wealthy people
of Honolulu. The Coastwise shipping
laws would sure protection
for such an investment. There
seems to be no reason for doubling
that there would be very large traa,
for such line properly managed and
run to suit the demands OF a modern
tourist travel. Now is the time for
the people to secure for themselves

that the rights OF the policy-holders

will say. from my own experience,
that know of men who are kept
lame about half their time from
kicking against this coral and other
substances. And know of one
that got badly hurt from running
against an iron rail which some one
had carelessly thrown into the sea.
There are other Objectionable sub
stances, such as limbs of trees that
get thrown into the sea and get Inn
bedded in the sand, but 1t is mainly
the coral that causes the most
trouble. Now, would like to ask
If there is no help for this state of
things, and IL nothing could be done
to clear the beach of these objec-
tionable things. Some persons
think the prisoners could be set to
work there and dig out most of
them, and which would certainly be
a good plan II 1t could be done.
Others think that the hotel people
and clubs could do something to-
wards clearing the beach of some OF
this coral and other material.
Certainly something should be
done to prevent people from throw
lug oIu putties. old iron, stones anu
ether rubbish into the sea. which is
likely to hurt people II not cost them
their lives. Some of the members OF
the Outrigger Canoe Club are do

MORGAN'S TREMENDOUS MONEY
POWER.

Although our brief dispatches do

D. Cbable that the financial combina-

This last reported merger is m

the World.
THE Equitable stock that Mr..
Ryan originally owned could nay
only 1854 in legitimate dividends
under the Z per cent clause in the
society's charter. Mr.. Ryan paid
James Hazen Hyde $2,5OO,OOO for
this opportunity to earn 1854 a
year. What Mr.. Morgan has paid
to Mr.. Ryan is still secret, but Mr..
Ryan Is not In the habit of selling
ahything for less than he paid for It.
THE Morgan interests have long
dominated the New York Life. Now
with the assets OF the Equitable In
their possession they WELD what is
probably the most tremendous fipan-

What the Governor says In this

Governor Frear was asked one

Citizenship Law
FEDERAL COURT MAKING AN
EXHAUSTIVE TEST CASE
OVER ADMISSION OF ASSYRl-
ANS IN THE NORTHWEST.

Admitting to citizenship In the
United States all European peoples,
whether Greek, Roumania, Servian
or what not, and the husky people
of Africa, who occupy the lower floor
in the sociological skyscraper, Fed
eral officials of Portland are insist
ing that everything Asiatic Is barred
says the Portland, Ore. Telegram.
Long" Tom Ellis. an Assyrian by
birth, but conceded to be Caucasian
in race, Is the subject Of a protest
filed yesterday afternoon by United
States District Attorney McCourt, In
which naturalization is sought to be
be prevented. Judge Bean Is con-
sidering Mr.. McCourt's arguments.
and will take up the brief to be fled
Monday by Attorney r. G. Wright,
for the defendant. and thereafter
decide whether Ellis shall before
a naturalized citizen.
The points raised bring to light
the incongruous nature of the Unit
ed States naturalization laws. In
the first instance courts held that
only free whites of the European
and American continents at the time
were eligible for naturalization.
were eligible for naturalization.
During those days the Caucasians
occupying portions of Asia Minor
were barred. Chinese, japanese and
Indians were not permitted to nat
uralize, although representing the
oldest and most fixed civilization OF
the world
Then came the Civil War with the
passionate championship Of the ne
gro, In the effort to prove the South
terrible wrong-doer. Resulting
from this conflict and the negro
question. Africans were made eligi-
BILE as citizens. Thus the Europeans
and Africans may enter upon privi-
leges of citizenship, but Asiatics are
excluded on the ground that their
institutions have not taught them
sufficiently in the principles of free
dom.
Mr.. McCourt protests against ac-
cepting Ellis on mere racial grounds.
His argument is that of early tradi-
tions. Assyria. being a subject coun-
try under Turkey. has given its peo-
pie no opportunity to grasp the prin-
ciples Of free government. Ellis is
conceded to be a white man. He is
also said to be of good moral char
acter, and In every respect worthy OF
citizenship. These facts will be ad-
vocated In his behalf by Attorney
Wright. Also. 1t is said. that the
fact will be adduced that Ellis has
one brother who has already been
naturalized. and that many other
Assyrians will be found on the roster
OF citizenship.
All persons born in America, ex-
cept Indians, become citizens by vir-
tue OF this fact, and Indians are citi-
zens when taking allotments and
entering upon citizenship duties, As
syrians, Chinese, Japanese and other
Asiatics who intend to make perma-
nent residence here, have the COM
fort OF knowing that their children
born In this country become entitled
to all of the privileges OF the coun-
try. so that the qualification being
opposed in the Ellis case means that
the FIRST generation only is barred
from full powers.
