says that he believes the new plans are
far superior to the old system and that the
pupils learn not only m ore but more
easily and pleasurably.

indorses Supt. Powell in this view of the
new methods. After carefully going over
the gravcdefectsofthe the old system, the trus-

We are heartily in accord with the sug-
gestions of the superintendent, and we be-
lieve that the community should sustain
him in his plans and methods.
We do not omit the recommendation here
tofore so often made for an increase in
the salary Of the teachers.

Japan's Protest Unnoticed.

New York, July 27-A special to the

The Herald's European edition pub
fishes the following editorial under the
heading: whats Japan Got 10 Sa,
About 1t, Anyhow"
"We publish special dispatch con-
6rming one printed in the Temps rela
tive to the protest of Japan against the
annexation of Hawaii by the United
States.
"We do not think that the United
States can even entertain the protest
concerning its policy from any non-Anglo.
Saxon race. England is al Anglo-Saxon
race, pure and simple, and has for the
last 400 years governed the world by its
common sense, force and civilizing in
stincts, and today 100000 of the An.
glo-Saxon race across the water find
themselves confronted with one of those
Mongolian, Indian and Australasian con-
tinents. We know very we'll what Eng
land would do under the circumstances,
and we trust that an Anglo-Saxon United d
States will do the same.

nous in sayins there has been no ap-
preciable increase In the number o!
cases Of typhoid fever. There are some
cases, as there are always in cities, but
they are isolated sporadic cases. 80 to
speak. that cannot be ascribed to any
particular cause. 1t Is well to say here
that there has never been q real epi-
demic of typhoid fever in Los Angeles.
With regard to the possibility Of typhoid
fever being contracted from sewer ir-
rigated fruits and vegetables. there was
some difference of opinion as to details
but the general expression was that with
typhoid germs In the sewage, 1t was
quite possible for the disease to be con-
tracted through eating fruit and vege-
tables irrigated with such sewage.
1t behooves those who are in the Gus
tom of getting their fruits and vege-
tables from the Chinese truck farms to
be very careful. The cooked fruits and
vegetables are of course free from possi-
bility of contagion; but lettuce, straw
berries, celery and similar growths are
a source of danger when they are irri-
gated with sewage, being eaten in their
raw state.

A HoRRID SUSPICION

| Senator Hale Of Maine comes to the
| front with proposed amendment 10
the rules Of the senate. In this way the
senate is admonished to exclude from
the privilege Of the floor all the ex-mem-
bers of the senate who come unprepared
to present something in the nature of a
certificate of character The require
ment is that the ex-member desiring ad-
mission must be prepared to show that
he does not come to corrupt the fountain
of legislation. In taking this stand the
Maine senator is decidedly inconsistent.
1t will be noticed that the proposed
amendment embodies an undoubted i'm
putation of moral obliquity directed in
somewhat general manner. True it
may be directed at the fair name of the
applicant for admission, but even If the
suspicion in that direction were ever so
we'll founded, still the visit would neces-
sarily be entirely harmless if there Is no
corruptible material to work upon. But
the senator Is one of those who hold that
there Is no such material there, and Of
course he is right.
1t was only few weeks ago that Ser-
ator Tillman sought to institute an Of
fetal inquiry into the alleged corrupt
practices of certain honorable senator's
in connection with the adoption Of cer-
tain tariff rates at the instance of GER
tain manufacturing trusts. Senator
Hale was outspoken in his opposition to
any such investigation, and became
majestically indignant at the implied
calumny directed against the integrity
of the senate in whole or in part.
But while it happens that some two
weeks ago the senate was enthroned be-
yond the reach of suspicion, according
to Senator Hale, still it is today so mer-'
cenary that the senator is not satisfied
that an ex-member shall be permitted
to enter, lest the senate be thereby cor
rupted. Now, the question is, what is
the nature of the revelation that has i'm
pinged upon the tympanum of Senator
Hale within these two weeks, to have
planted this distrust in the senatorial
sensorium?
We believe that the crookedness i'm
piled by the proposed amendment does
not exist in fact. We have a better
opinion of the senate, and we have bet
ter opinion of Senator Hale, himself,
Notwithstanding the character of his
immediate senatorial associate. We
believe that the dignity Of the senatorial
office would not be imperiled nor any
incumbent debauched by maintaining
the time -honored courtesy extended to
ex-members. The senator may, there
fore, explain the cause Of his sudden
change of sentiment.

THE SECTIONAL VIEW

There has come lull in the tariff con-
compelled to make mutual concessions
in order to avoid a deadlock. The pro-
tracted struggle over the raw wool rate
was not a party contest in any sense,
ers of the east and the producers of the
west. The abnormal appetite which
New England has developed for the pap
of protection is something appalling.
the tariff kitchen while the broth is in
process of preparation only serves to
give a ravenous turn to this Unsuitable
greed. Senators Gray and Hale and
Quay and Hoar seem to be possessed
with the one idea that so far as the raw
wool schedule is concerned protective
tariff that fails to throw all the fruits
of protection into the lap Of the manu-
facturers' trust thereby fails in the chief
end and aim of legitimate existence. The
house schedule had favored the de-
mands of the senators from the east
by quietly sitting down upon the pro-
ducers and adopting cut and dried rates
prepared by the manufacturers. Such
was the gift of Reed through the Ding
ley bill. Senator Quay was tragic in
his effort to restore this schedule, and
Senator Gray tried to head a "revolt
against the demands of the wool grow
ers' association" 1t was case in which
to grasp the one remaining factor still
necessary to confirm it's control of the
whole woolen industry Of the country so
long as tn proposed tariff should
be maintained. This was the as
sumption that the western men
were called upon to contest. They
justly felt that the benefits of
protection should. be divided. They
sought an equitable division of
those benefits between the producer and
the manufacturer, but as a matter of
compromise they were compelled to take
less than they demanded and probably
much less than they were actually en-
titled to receive, if exact justice had
been done between the contending inter-
ests. or course all this was tilt be-
tween Republican senators. The Ques-
ton was no longer an issue as to high
or low tariff, but solely as to the ap-
portionment between the east and the
