cording to the San Francisco Chronicle
immigration Of the japanese Is rapidly
increasing and as in the case Of the
Chinese, It is the worst class OF the
population that comes to our shores.

that he is no less adaptable In learn

People on our Pacific slope are an

Russia is over the stream Of Japanese
immigration is likely to inundate our
shores and the class Of immigrants is
likely to become worse instead Of bet

and until they are, the fight cannot be
said to have been won. There will be
"A feeling among those who have APP
proved his course i'm the past that the
senatorial toga has been too much Of
a temptation for him and that he has
deserted the cause for which he has
fought so long at the very time when
ii needed him i'm the govrnors chair to
guide and direct the legislation that
has so often been defeated or deferred,
and which may now suffer the same
fate again. There will be a feeling that
the place for him at the present time
is in the state where the fight is still
going on, and not i'm the senate where
the fight cannot be fought. 1t is strange
what a change in the estimate of the
relative Importance of the Office of gov
ernor and senator has come over public
opinion since the early days of the Re-
public. In the early days men re-
signed as United States senator to
become governor of their state. In
these days men resign as governor to
become senator. Indeed, i'm many
cases men have sought the governor
ship merely as a stepping stone to the
senate.

of discriminating duties is advocated.
The minority hold that there are OBJ
jections to the entire bill agreed on by
the majority, but they withhold opposi-
ton except as to the sections which,
provide for direct subsidies. The policy
embodied i'm these sections is declared
to be obnoxious to democratic princi-
pies and to the economic sense Of the
country. In regard to the chances of
the bill in Congress, it can only be said
at present that its advocates hardly
count upon its passage at the existing
session. They believe that the dis
cussion which it will evoke win make
friends for it. but the history of pro-
posed subsidy legislation i'm the recent
past has been too checkered to prompt
auguries of a very confident character.

Mayor Mcclellan of New York city is
one of those who do not believe that
the government should engage i'm any
service which can be done better or as
well by private enterprise, or should
invade business fields i'm competition
with the legitimate trade of the citizen
For this reason, and because of his
general conservative attitude i'm rela-
tiOn TO matters of public concern, much
attention has been attracted by the
declaration in his annual message in
favor Of the ownership and operation
by the municipality of an electric light
ing plant to illuminate the streets,
parks and public buildings of the city.
Where the service rendered by private
corporations is unsatisfactory, either
because of its inferiority or of its eX-
Cessiye cost, it becomes, the mayor says
the province of government to take
control of that utility for its own uses
The right of the city to establish IA
municipal lighting plant is sustained
by distinguished legal opinion, and a
commission has been appointed to pre-
pare plans and estimates of the cost of
installation. The advocacy of this de-
parture is the feature of the mayors
message this year.
