AGAIN ARRESTED
Placed Under Bonds to Keep the

With a Gun.

Nigel Jackson was again arrested
and taken to the police station last
night on account of his suspicious con-
duct on Thursday night.
Last Thursday morning Jackson was
bound over in a nominal sum to keep
the peace against a member of the Ad-
vertiser staff, The same evening he
got drunk and again visited the Adj
vertiser office, and was taken home by
an officer and put to bed. Later on he
got up, and about 11:30 p. m. was OBJ
served Fastening with steps rendered
unsteady by frequent libations, to his

He was acting queerly, and an ac-

from him a revolver loaded in every

at the police station.
The attention of the police was call

THE coFER INCIDENT.

The feeling displayed in Japan over
the Cofer incident is what might be
expected of a people than whom there
is none in the world more sensitive and
patriotic. The Advertiser is not among
those who charge DR.. Cofer with an
Intentional insult; we believe that If he
erred at all 1t was from over-zeal for
the health of our inhabitants japanese
as well as American, European and
Polynesian. But he did not distinguish
between the Japanese high-class pas
senger and the coolie, and did discrim-
mate between the Japanese high-class
passenger and the white passenger OF
equal station. That is what has touch
ed the sensibilities of Japan and led
to the present imbroglio.
Since the little brown men found
themselves and proved their adapt
ability to the requirements of modern
progress and their skill in the sciences
and arts they have achieved a race
pride which success in war has greatly
stimulated. Every Japanese believes
. himself to be the equal If not the super
Tor of any white man OF similar socia
or business or professional rank. He
asks to be treated as an equal. If he
isn't ne will resent 1t in the way that
seems most likely to impress the offend
ing white man. The whole japanese
nation felt insu1ted in the persons oil
the young women who were picked out
from, among cabin passengers here fol-

feelings of japanese passengers for Il

pERlLs OF THE STREET.

Street collisions and runaways are so
frequent that some special measures
ought to be taken to prevent them SO
far as prevention may be possible. In
yesterday Advertiser Mr.. Bolte made
excellent suggestions. Much of the
trouble, as he says, is caused by drivers
turning corners improperly and much
more by the practice of leaving horses
unhitched or unattended at the curb.
The last-named practice may be easily
stopped by the police in the interests
of public safety. Let a runaway come
careering down Fort street some day
and every unfastened horse along the
curb Is likely to take fright. BY COM
polling drivers to fasten their animals
when they leave them on the streets.
the peril will be minimized.
The law of the road-always keeping
to the rights rarely enforced. In
some cases there is a good excuse for
breaking 1t, as when one side of the
street is cobbled and the other is
smooth; but as a general thing, where
the roads are passable. the law should
be upheld.
Bad driving does much harm. The
Oriental hackmen, especially the Jap
anese, haven't acquired the knack of
seeing entanglements ahead and so
plunge on regardless. Drivers who go
one way and look another are legion.
The Advertiser thinks, with Mr.. Bolte.
that the police can remedy many of
these difficulties If they will.
