supply that increasing demand for all labor

country" He shows that there are now
1885 inmates in our public reformatory
and charitable institutions, OF whom 1904
or % per cent are foreign born, and 1856,
or II per cent, absolute aliens, who have
never even been naturalized. OF these, 1874
are insane. The largest number (11,980)
are Irish. The Germans come next, with
$780, the English third (4,24S,) the Italians
1926, the Scandinavians 1925, the Hebrews
2765, the Poles 1904, and the French, 1,94S
You will notice the remarkably small num-.
Der of Jews, Poles and Italians in charitable
institutions, in comparison with the large
numbers who have come into the country
within the last few years.--Wiliam e. Cur
tbs in Chicago Record Herald
But il there should be Japanese ex-
clusion law, enforced like the one relating
to Chinese, there would be great and i'm
mediate trouble. Japan is up In the world
and has high sense Of national dignity.
It would not submit with Chinese patience
to the offensive treatment or its subjects
by American custom house officials. The
officials would have to change their methods
so that the American government would not
have to be continually apologizing for their
misdeeds. The relations or the United
States and Japan are most peaceful. They
would not remain so with Japanese exclu-
sion law administered as roughly as it's
friends would like to have it. The trade
of eastern Asia is worth great deal to )
this country-to it's farmers, manufacturers
and railroads. 1t is worth SO much that the
Asiatics should be treated with common
courtesy. The Chinese boycott, provoked by
the offensive enforcement Of the Chinese ex-
clusion law, is alarming the American merch-
ants. The considerable trade with Japan
certainly would be affected il Japanese gen.
tlemen were treated as Chinese gentlemen
have been. The exclusion of Japanese labor
ers is delicate matter to handle. 1t may
well be alone for several years. The dangers
of Japanese immigration, if there be any,
will be apparent then. They are not now.

ASSET CURRENCY

In his magazine for SEPTEMBER, Tom Wat
son arraigns Secretary Shaw's financial policy
in ringing terms. 1t is only just to state, how
ever that he fails to mention an important feat
ure of the secretarys plan, viz, that all asset
currency issued shall pay tax of six per
cent so as to provide fund for the protection
of those who hold the notes of banks that fail:
fall
They want the privilege OF issuing paper
money not secured by United States bonds
and they want the existence or these I'M
secured notes TO be kept secret between
the bankers and the government; and they
want these unsecured notes to be engraved
so that they shall be so nearly Identical with
the secured notes that the public will not
be able to tell the one kind from the other!
MIR. Shaw pointed out that the emergency"
notes could be made to look like the bond
secured notes, so that the public would not
know the difference! Said Mr.. Secretary
Shaw: "The controller OF the currency
and the bank issuing the currency would
alone know OF its existence" Consider this
moment The common people accept bank
notes as money because the notes are based
upon government bonds Their value is
guaranteed by the government Mr.. Shaw
and the bankers now propose that the
bankers shall issue other notes whenever
"the emergency" arises. and that these new
notes shall be engraved by the government
In such a manner that the average citizen
will not be able TO distinguish the difference.
The existence Of these unsecured notes In
TO be secret. known only TO the controller
and the bank! The public will not know
that trap has been set and bated. The
public Win not know that counterfeit money
n anoat. The public would never suspect
that the government was In coIlusicn with

the bankers to put bogus paper in circulation.
Therefore the public would eagerly accept
the bogus notes, not suspectfng that they
were bogus. A crash comes! The bank shuts
it's doors. The bogus notes are outstanding.
The holders lose every dollars, for the notes
rest on no security Yes; the innocent
holders are ruined.

NATIONAL AFFAIRS


The various questions now before congress
and the reports Of department chiefs afford CON
nentators a wide field for criticism and SUI
yestion:
Postmaster General Cortelyou's report
shows postal expenditure for the fiscal year,
of $167 ,959 and receipts of $152,S26,5S5-
leaving deficit of $14,572584. But the re-
fort further shows that II there had been
no deadhead matter there would have been
surplus of over $5000000 SO Mr.. Cortel
you makes the recommendation urged by Mr..
Wanamaker when he was postmaster gen.
eral, that the ranking privilege be abolished
and each department pay for it's own mail
matter. This Is a sensible recommendation.
If the departments paid postage and the
railroad graft was cut off, there would be no
excuse for railing at the comparatively petty
abuses of second-cass postal privileges. AS
to these privileges also, Mr.. Cortelyous rec
enumeration is good one He proposes,
instead of the second-class privilege or SUBJ
sidy, fiat rate like that for merchandise
Chicago Public.
II the railroads could make congress
and the people think that the president is
trying to usurp the functions of congress
they would be very glad. Therefore the fol-
lowing paragraph from one OF the railroad
editorials which are floating about the
country: Those who respect the functions
of the three coordinate branches Of the
government must be gratifed to know that
congress is not yet ready to relnquish to
the president the privilege and duty of legis-
lating for the country Fired by the applause
of those who seem to understand his char
acter SO well, President Roosevelt has been
led into many official extravagances Of die
tatorial prodding, with congress as the in
tended victim of his herding prOpensities.
One Of the constitutional duties of the presi-
dent of the United States is to give to
the congress information of the state of the
union, and recommend to their consideration
such measures as he shall Judge necessary
and expedent" The president has in two
annual messages recommended legislation for
the relief of the public in matters of rail-
road management. The house of representa-
tives promptly passed bill to grant that re-
lief. The senate ignored the suggestion as
it had legal right to do-Nebraska State
Journal.
This is more promising for popular en-
tertainment from democratic politics than
for unity in the party as now constructed.
Hearst, backed by his great wealth. spread
out by his newspapers and elevated by his
demonstrated strength with the populace on
radical issues at the polls, has become no
slight figure in democratic politics, and his
disposition to assert leadership In new d.
rections Of radicalism threatens for the party
as violent breakup as that which put Bryan
tn the front In 1896. But Bryan arrayed the
plantation democracy against the domination
OF the Wall street faction. The Hearst
revolt Ia TO appeal especially to the indus
trial masses of the north, and Is likely to
prove as hostile TO the southern plantation
as TO the Wall street element In the party

that the stream should be turned to the

the population as any measure yet suggested.
st. Paul Pioneer Press.
President Roosevelt, who keeps keen
eye to the drift of political movement, ap-
parently is giving small consideration to
the uutcry for further statutory limitation
OF immigration He proposes TO invest
million Porto Ricans with citizenship at one
fell swoop. Having gone so rar, it would be
ludicrously inconsistent to set up barri-
cades against the Japanese or Industrious
and selfsuppurting immigrants from southern
Europe. Thus far it is the glory Of our ex-
pertinent in self-government that it has
proven a successful solvent of all the races
and all the religions. Here British, Irish,
Germans, Frenchmen, Italians, Swedes, Rus
slams, Poles, Slavs, Jews, Gentiles and Mo-
hammedans dwell together In peace. In
Russia under the stern rule or an Indifferent
despotism the warning races are cutting
each others throats The preachers of
the Gomperian philosophy in that distracted
country appear at the present time to be ac-
tive factors in preventing the establishment
of constitutional government.-Philadelph

nor does 1t necessarily mean lower economic
efficiency, but 1T does mean worse American
citizenship. These colonies, mere reproduc-
lions Of Old World life, are self-sufficient.
Their members, except those OF the second
generation through the influence OF the

Senatorship Under Certain
Conditions

Madison, Wis, Jan. 26.-Gov. Robert
NJ. La Toilette was on Wednesday in the
joint legislative assembly elected Unit
ed States senator to succeed Joseph v.

occasion was dramatic in the extreme.
In a carefully Worded address, which the
governor read from manuscript, he ac-

his acceptance as response to the call
of duty, but said that unless the legis-
lature enacted into laws the measures
for which SO many contests have been
fought. he would tender back to them
the honor, and they would have to
choose some other man.
