end of our national disgrace. And
how can We put an end to this ma
tional disgrace Nothing but ma
tional law can put an end to this
widespread evil, just as was the
case with obscene literature, lotteries
and other familiar disgraces.
When lotteries we're corrupting the
nation the states took feeble, discon-
nected and spasmodic action against
them. The lotteries merely laughed.
If four fifths of the states had anti
lottery laws and the rest did not,
lottery tickets could be sent by ex-
press over the railroads through inter-
state commerce into every portion of
the republic. And this is exactly
what did happen. A rational law
was proposed to keep lottery tickets
out of interstate commerce. The
lottery companies fought this law in
vain.
It is said that the states must put
an end to child labor, The states
cannot stop this evil with any more
success than they stopped lotteries. If
one state passes good law and
another state does not, the children
are shipped from the state that has a
good law into the state that has a
bad law, or none at all. Think of
it,-littIe children. from seven to
fourteen shipped like cattle and hogs
from one state to another. It is i'm
possible to get any uniformity in the
laws of the various states.
1t is clear that the nation must act
If We pass national law making it
a crime punishable by fine and i'm
prisonment of any manufacturer that
employs child labor to ship his pro-
ducts over the RAILROADS, or the rail-
roads to carry such products, there
will be an end to child labor. Such
law will depend upon the vigilance
and conscience of every good man
or woman in America. 1t will be a
hard fight with the children on the
one side and wicked interests upon
the other. Bring the sad facts home
to yourself and act for these wronged
little ones as you would act for
your children if they were being
wronged in the same way.
Ia America really the land of the
free and the home of the brave? Are
we free people, when our children s
lives are endangered Are we brave
people when we allow such conditions
to exist Is it not time to end the
rule of the dollar and begin the rule
of justice and human rights Let it
not be SAID that we, the rising genera
tion, closed our eyes to these questions
or tailed to carry on the work assign
ed to US.

THF WANDERING JEW.
BY E INA KNOX.

The story Of the progress of race
is the story of its struggle for free.
dom. So it has been with the
Hebrew race The early history OF
these people is recorded In the old
Testament. There we learn of their
occupations, customs, traditions and
beliefs. We read of the terrible
sufferings and trials they endured,
but despite the Affections. there is
prevalent among them an invincible
faith in God All this is interest
ing. but that which really appeals to
us is the many promises God made
TO the mighty leaders of these. Ellis
Chosen People,. and especially do
we ponder over the one made to
Abraham, Look in every direction for
the land which thou seest from the
river of Egypt to the river Euphrates,
1 give unto thee, and thy desendents,
forever. For a surety, thy people
shall dwell in strange lands, and be
prosecuted, but later shall become a
great nation: and in them shall all
the families of the earth be blessed. I"
Though centuries have elapsed since
that promise was made. the Jew is
ever awaiting it fulfillment.
The survival of the Hebrew race is
question which has baff1ed the
greatest thinkers of modern times
How they have undergone the horri BILE
fortunes inflicted upon them, how they
still thrive and in numbers greater
than ever before, is puzzle. difficult
to solve. We are told bow in ancient
times nations rose predominant, ruled
their short time. and then crept out
of existence to make place for a
more powerful adversary. Among
these we see Assyria, Babylonia.
Greece, Persia and Rome, the
majestic throng has passed foverer.
But one people come down to us from
the very dawn of history, with the
same characteristics of centuries age
still prominent. Marked as distinct,
by their language, religion, customs
ana even physiognomy, the Jews have
proved themselves immortal
The events pertaining to their ma.
tional life make one long story oil
misery and woe. Truly in the most
ancient times they had much
advantage, for developed among them
were poets, prophets. lawyers, ant
statesmen. Thus was builded BY
those gifted Hebrews, there ia the
Valley of the Jordan, the foundation
of national and religious life tha
has ever grown broader and deeper
Even during that age they we're many
times carried into captivity, whilr
strangers laid waste to their cities
and consumed their products. Often
times, a great famine would occur, O.
a deathly pestilence sweep over thu
country, largely diminishing thei
numbers. But this was only the be
ginning of their trouble.

to Washington. though he did not
make public his intentions. Shortly
after he returned from washington a

It was reported this afternoon that

Mr.. JONES, PLEASE
CLAIM YOUR OPIUM!

Twelve bladders of opium, discov-
cred in suitcase belonging to j.
Jones, room 23," came into the hands
of Customs Inspector Taylor yester-
day when he was engaged in checking
up the baggage ofsHassengers ON the
Faeific Nah liner Sierra. On the pas
senger list there was no mention made
of ]. Jones. A clue which may, how
ever, lead to the apprehension of the
smuggler was found in pair of travel
stained trousers which were in the
suitcase In a pocket of the trousers
were found several papers, among
which were mariners annotations. 1t
is thought that between here an Japan
Captain Feeder of the Sierra may be
able to identify the handwriting on
the papers and so detect the smuggler
The idea of smuggling in the hop
in trunks and suitcases is becoming
such popular one that the customs
officials have been. forced to insist
upon an Identification by all passen-
gers of baggage to be brought ashore.
If this is not done, it is explained,
trunks full of the contraband article
could easily be lost in the confusion
and checked past the customs barrier.

Smokers of opium, dwellers in the

obstacle placed in the way of the use
of the drug is Senator Chillingworth's

the smoking 5of opium, whether the
article be stamped or unstamped, a
misdemeanor punishable by a fine OF
not more than $50. Attorney General

morning thatsthe bill is constitutional,

Young Cha Kan Hee and Pret.
ty choy Ngan Will Sail Away
TO Be Married

II has remained for Cha Kan Hee,
a Chinese merchant of 1109 Nuuanu
street, to introduce new wrinkle"
in the matter of Chinese marriages.
AS result of his ignorance of the
American law prohibiting the landing
of Chinese, Miss Choy Ngan, pretty
slant-eyed maiden of the Kwong Tong
province, China, is at the immigration
station awaiting the sailing of the
China next Friday, when she will be
escorted hack to her homeland by the
Honolulu merchants son, whom she
has not yet seen but whom she is to
marry at the first Chinese port
touched by the steamer. -..
Cha Kan Hee, the prospective young
bridegroom, knew nothing of his i'm
pending good fortune until two or
three days ago. Born and reared in
Honolulu, educated in the American
schools and associating with English
speaking boys, he had not realized he
was still subject to Chinese custom.
For some time he has been employed
as clerk in the Office of the Homo
lulu Gas Company.

Within a few days from the time
the bills before the senate for the
creation of a public utility commits
sion are to come before the sOlons
as committee of the whole, Senator
Baldwin introduced in the senate a
proposed substitute bill this morning.
A new complication came with this
act, for in place of the public utility
fight being simply a Democratic and
Republican contest, it now bids fair to
be three cornered melee.
c. R. Hemenway, attorney for the
joint commercial bodies committee,
who caused the bill to be introduced,
stated this morning that ii is a draft
of what the merchants generally fav-
or. The main distinction of this bill,
from those introduced by Senators
Rice and MetZger, is that the powers
of the commission are only recon-
mandatory, and it is given no power,
other than by making public its rec
concentrations. of forcing the utility
companies to carry out its sugges-
tions. 49,.
The commissions is to be compos-
ed of the secretary of the territory,
