They comment on the lack of progress
Once when competition had brought the
rate below twenty-five cents a word, an. arrangement was not long in being
made between the competing companies which placed and has since maintained
the rate at that figure. Marconi's rates are ten cents a word for private, and
, five cents for press "messages.

Meager reports regarding the financial situation jn New York, received by
way of London and published in Tokio on October 24, created uneasiness on
the Japanese capital's bourse, which had been in an extremely depressed condition
for several months. This item shows how closely jointed the world has
become in matters of money as well as otherwise, through the drawing together
of the nations by steam and electricity. The condition is one that should make
for a universal pact of peace, more even than the efforts of conferences at The
Hague.

Cf course a home captain and crew would be half the glory of a winning
Hawaiian yacht in the transpacific race. Honolulu will not be baffled in finding
both skipper and men who can read the sea like an open book and can fill
the bill. "When Laysan Island was lost it took only a day to find a genuine
Viking here, with enough ready tars"who went right out and found the missing
domain of King Schlemmer.
H-
There was a fierce row in the Republican press over the fusion of the
organization -with the Independence League, or Hearst's outfit, to fight Tammany.
Tammany's sweeping triumph cruelly shows which side was right. San
Francisco's election, on the other hand, indicates that the greatest hope of
reform is in individualistic electoral independence.
Mr- Lowrey, of the Washington Post, the lone newspaper man to come
here' with the Congressional T?artg, has Qualified as a good angel entertained
unawares or otherwise by the excellent Hawaiian letters he has furnished to
his paper. One of them will be found in this issue.

SETH LOW FAVORS
COOLIE EXCLUSION
CHICAGO0.etober. 24. Immigration,
with special reference to the Chinese'
Exclusion act, was discussed by ex-Mayor
Seth Low, of New York, in an'
address before the Chicago Association
of Commerce yesterday. Mr, Low indorsed
the so-called ".Roosevelt policy"
of excluding from this country on
ly the class of Chinese known, as
coolies.
"I am in favor of the purpose, but
not the form, of the Chinese Exclusion
act," said Mr. Low. "President Roosevelt
is right in his policy of opposition
to the slavolike labor of coolies in this
free country. It is an insult to an old,
wise, and proud race such as the Chinese
to exclude their students and
great men from pur shores. I am in
sympathy' with the great object of the
Chinese Exclusion act to keep the Pacific
Coast free from theSnumerical preponderance
of an Asiatic- population.
If there ever was a matter .of public
policy in which the 'undesirable citizen'
doctrine should 'bo enforced to, the limit
it is the immigration question. '$
"Degenerates and people of low
morals are- the most undesirable clas3
i
of immigrants. But there should be
no educational tests. Physical fiber
and stamina should be the chief qualities
required."
JOAQUIN KELLER'S PLEA.
OAKLAND, Cal., OcJ. 26. Joaquin
Miller, poet of the Sierras, delivered a
lecture at California Collego last night
in which he made a stirring appeal-for
the Orientals His subject was
"Render Unto Caesar the Things That:
Are Caesar's" and he said, among oth
er things, that but for the 100,000 sober
and submissive Chinese there would
have been no Pacific railroad in the
nineteenth century. Poet Miller referred
to the anti-Oriental agitation on
the Coast and declared Chinese and
Japanese labor out here a necessity.

A PRESS CRITICISM.
Lord Northcliffe, the famous English
editor, recently settled for $250,-000
a libel suit brought against his'
newspapers by the Lever soap firm.
Lord Northcliffe often visits America,
and he admits that many of his best
journalistic ideas are thexfrult St these
visits.
"At the same time," said a New,
Tork editor the other day, "Lord
Northcliffe is a severe critic of the
American press. One of his strictures
is about ouc padding. He says that
when something striking in the news
way turns up we invariably print
columns and columns abput It, page
after page, day after day, though in
reality half the time we may only have
enough facts for ten or twenty lines.
"At the Press Club on Nassau street
he told one night a story on this
head.
"He said that a reporter came wearily
into the office and approached the
city editor's desk with a disconsolate
air.
"'Well,' said the city editor, eagerly,
'what did you find out about Senator
Blank's alleged divorce?'
" 'Nothing,' said the reporter.
" 'No facts whatever?'
" 'Not a single fact.'
" 'Denied eveyywhere?'
" 'Everywhere.' . . ,
" 'Senator deny it?'
" 'Yes.'
" 'Wife, too?
" Tes.'
"'And no rumors?" ,
" 'Not a blessed 'rumor?
"The city editor sighed.,
"'Well,' he said, sadly, 'lep the
story down in that case to three and
a half columns.' "

THE PACIFIC COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER, HONOLULU, NOVEMBER 8, 1907 EM
STATES MAY AID IMMIGRATION.
An article in the New York Tribune takes the same view of the scope of
Attorney General Bonaparte's opinion on state aided immigration, rendered
in the Louisiana case, 'as that presented by Mr. Tenney and another local authority
through yesterday's Advertiser. By tray of refuting the Philadelphia
Press in its echoing of certain Southern papers that attacked the new legisla
tion as "federalistic," the Tribune saysj "it is clear that the stafes enjoy
more .freedom under the new act than is granted to corporations or individuals,
and that they are deprived of no privilege's in the way of assisting immigration
'which are consistent with rational public policy." Further along it characterizes
as purely gratuitous the assumption that the law inhibits proper
ttate aid.
"There is no -bar," the Tribune asserts, "to the expenditure by a state of
any sum it chooses to- appropriate for assisting immigration. A state can
charter a steamship line and bring in aliens at is own expense. It can give
away forty acres and a cow to each immigrant after ne or sue arrives. It is
merely forbidden to bring in alien laborers under any prior promise of compensation
or employment, or under any form of labor contract."
It is admitted that the encouragement of immigration by states is an
different matter from assisted immigration by individuals and corpora
tions, the article concluding with the following reference to this point: "It
ought to be kept entirely different. The states can go ahead assisting immigration
by legitimate means. But -there is no need of a modification of the
present law to permit their conducting employment agencies with individuals
corporations for clients."

" - MANUFACTURES IN FOREIGN TRADE.
Manufactures are forming a larger share of the exports of the United
States than ever tefore, and a larger share of the imports than at any' time
since 1S90. They formed practically, 44 per cent of the exports during thu
nine months ending with September, 1907, while they had never but once
reached 40 j.er cent in any fiscal year covered by the records of our export
trade. Manufactures formed in the fiscal year 1S80"14.7S per cent of the exports
of domestic products; in 1S90, 21.18 per cent; in 1900, 35.3 per cent; in
the fiscal year 1907, 39.94 per cyjnt, and in the nine months ending with September,
43.S3 per cent of the total exports of domestic products.
The total, value of manufactures exported was, as shown by the official
.figures of the Bureau of Statistics of the Department of Commerce and Labor,,
in round terms, in 18S0, 122 millions; in 1S90, 179 millions; in 1900, 4S4 millions;
in the fiscal year 1907, 740 millions; and in the nine months ending with Sep
tember, 574 millions; the average per month being, in 1SS0, 10 millions; in
1890, 15 millions; in 1900, 40 millions; in 1907, C2 millions, and in the nine
months ending with September, 63 millions. In 18S0 the average value per day
of manufactures exported was one-third of a million dollars; in 1890, a half
million; in 1900, one and one-third millions; in 1907, two millions,. and in'the
xine months ending with September, two and one-tenth millions.
Iron und steel manufactures, of course, continue to form by far the largest
feature of this large exportation of manufactures, and their total promises to
reach nearly or quite 200 million dollars in value in the present calendar year.
The total value of iron and steel manufactures exported in the nine months
ending with September was 146 millions, against 127 millions in the same months
of the immediately preceding year, thus indicating that the total will in the
calendar year 1907 be nearly or quite 200 millions, while the total exports of
iron and steel manufactures never reached as much as 100 millions prior to
1899, and never as much as 50 millions prior to 1897.
Practically all of the principal articles forming the general group manufactures
show an increase in the nine months ending" with September, 1907, when
compared with the corresponding months of the preceding year; copper being
68 millions, against 65 millions in the corresponding period of 1906; mineral
cils, 67 millions, against 64 millions in the corresponding months of the preceding
year; wood manufactures, 67 millions, against 59 millions in the samo
months of last year; agricultural implements, 22 millions, against 20 millions
in the corresponding months of the preceding year; and naval stores, 17
millions, against 15 millions in the corresponding months of 1906; though leather
end manufactures thereof show -a declino of a little less than one million
dollars, and cotton manufactures a decline of nearly 14 millions.
On the import side, manufactures are also showing a large increase. During
the nine months ending with September, 1907, the total value of manufactures
imported was 49S million dollars, forming 44.95 per cent of the total, against
44.47 per cent in the fiscal year 1907, and 40.05 per cent in the fiscal year
1897. Of this importation of 498 millions in the nine months ending with
September, 211 'millions was manufactures for further use in manufacturing,
and 287 millions manufactures ready for consumption; while on the export side
manufactures for further use in manufacturing were 196 million dollars and
manufactures ready for, consumption, 377 millions.,

In deciding not to open ,the new Philippine Assembly with prayer, the
Filipino parties display an extreme devotion to logic, it would seem. Church
and state are separate under the fundamental law, they argue; hence no praying,
which is a religious exercise, can be allowed in the legislative body. In the
United States, the logic of the separation betwedi church and state has never
been carried so far. Most of our state Legislatures and both branches of
Congress invite the clergy to open their sessions with prayer, and the
has never reeled under the blow. But the Filipinos are entitled to
their own ideas on this point. Their Assembly will be judged by its achievements
rather than its religious devotions. Springfield Republican.
An opening invocation is out of place, perhaps, only in the case of a legislative
body that understands its chaplain to say, "Let us prey."

Five days after the
formal opening of Marconi's transatlantic wirel6ss
telegraph system, the Cape Breton station was transmitting about three thousand
words a day to Ireland. At a public demonstration on October 23, a message
was sent from Glace Bay to Clifden and a reply returned in- five minutes
Some eastern papers, when the system opened, predicted that no more lorig
distance cables would ever be laid,
toward cheapness in cable telegraphy.
