JUDGE EDMS GRANTS
V:: CITIZENSHIP TO DAS
Rules That The Former Paia Ihemist, A Hindu, Is
A Free White Person
The Law And Quotes A String Of Authorities
Government Will Undoubtedly Appeal
Judge W. S. Edings lias rendered
a .decision In the case or Saranghad
har Das, formerly chemist at Paia,
petition for naturalization, in which
he rules that a Hindu of the Das
caste, or class, Is entitled to citizen
Bhip. U. S. Attorney Huher stated
when he was on Maui at the time of
the hearing that if the decision were
against the government, appeal would
be taken to the higher courts; and
that". will, in all probability, be done.
The opinion of the court was as fol
lows :
. This petition for naturalization is
opposed by the United States District
Attorney on the ground that the peti
tioner, being, a Hindu, is not eligible
to 'naturalization under Revised
Statutes, section 2169, which limits
naturalization to "free white per
sons" and those of African nativity
and descent.
The other qualifications are found
by the court to be fully established,
and are conceded by the government.
.Orthodox Hinduism ascribe to the
Aryan Invaders four castes; the Brah
man, or priestly; the Kshatriya, war-rioi-or
kingly; the Vaisya, mercantile
and agricultural; the Sudra, artisan
and laboring.
T he petitioner comes from the north
ern part of India or what Is known as
Hindustan proper; speaks Bengali:
is a high caste Hindu of pure blood,
belonging to what Is known as the
kshatriya, or warrior caste.
- It is doubtful If there is any such
thing as an European or white race.

Within The Meaning Of
The word while in the statute
seems to be used to designate persons
not otherwise classified, and refers
to race, rather than color.
If in 1875 Congress intended to
limit the privilege to Europeans and
Africans, and to exclude all others,
why did it not insert a more definite
expression than "free white persons"
in the statute.
The two higher castes of India are
of the pure Aryan blood.
The races of mankind have been
classified by the most eminent au
thors on anthropology as Caucasion
or White Races, Mongolian or Yellow
and Red Races and Negro or Black
Races.
"It may be said that the high-caste
Hindus who settled in India, some
4000 years ago, are as distinct from
the natives of India as the peopje of
this Country are from the American
Indian'' J. Morrison, in re. Pandit.
Webster's new International Dict
ionary defines the term "Aryan" as
"a member of the Circasian race."
J. P. Blumenback reckons five races
viz: Circasian, Mongolian, Ethiopian
American, Malay. The ill-chosen
name of Circasian, invented by him in
allusion to a South Caucasian skull
of specially typical proportions and
applied by him to the so-called white
races is still current.
Ency. Britannlca, V. 2. p. 113:
The Aryan Hindus of the north of
India are more closely related In
language, if not In physical appear
ance, to our northern Europeans than

steamer schedule, the results of the
Christmas Day horse races in Hono

coming in until Saturday.
The attendance at the races was
very small, being a mere hint of the
crowds that turned out at Kapiolani
Park track in "the old days;" and the
real sport of the day centered in the
events in which Maui animals were
the principals. One sporting editor's
account contained the following items
regarding the accomplishments of the

as was their privilege under their
membership cards. They were told
that they could order as much as they
wanted at the cafeteria, and, boy-like,
called for enough for the first meal

They were told by Mr. Mathews that,
being champion conservationists,
they must eat all they had ordered,
so that there would not be waste.
The boys made a desperate effort to
do so, but after that they were much
more cautious in ordering meals.

SEED WILL BE PROTECTED

Will See To It That There Is Ample Supply For
Crops In 1918 Compulsory Rationing In Great
Britain Suffragettes Afraid To Submit Their
Case To Vote Of Women Filipinos To Colors
Washington Secretary Houston urges Congress to take prompt
action to protect seed supplies necessary lor the normal production of
food crops in 1918, and seeks an urgent efficiency appropriation for the
purchase of seeds for sale to the farmer at cost.
As a result the investigation held over charges that men in the
training camps are insufficiently clad, numbers of the Senate military
committee are prepared to launch legislation for the creation of a new
cabinet member to be known as secretary of munitions, to have charge
of the purchase of war materials.
LEADING BRITISHERS TALK
Lord Rhonda in a speech warns that compulsory rationing will be
in effect soon, but declares that conditions are not alarming. He is
ready to commandeer cattle required and subsidize community kitchens.
Meatless days are announced, they being Tuesdays in London and
Wednesdays in the provinces. Geddes told labor leaders that the pres
ent crisis had completely altered the British position and it was
necessary now to recruit from munition workers for fighting units until
the situation could be balanced by the presence of American armies in
the field. Lloyd George, replying to a communication urging further
lifjuor traffic reductions, declared that the traffic is now reduced to a
state not believed possible before the war. Further action can be
taken only with the consent of the people.
AT THE NATION'S CAPITAL
Washington Suffrage leaders lobbying for the vote on suffrage
next Tuesday are opposed to the suggestions of Clark, of Florida, that
the question of woman suffrage for the nation be submitted to the wo

it would entail delay, moreover, would be unconstitutional.

that the aim of the government is not" to take for army duty any other ,

a million fit men will be found in this class. He recommends that those
who have reached majority since June 5 be put into this class as they
