There seems to be quite general
demand for federal supervision and
control of insurance companies and it
is quite likely President Roosevelt
will take up the question in his mes
sage to congress and urge that action
be taken. There is some doubt as to
the authority of congress to enact
such Legislation owing to constitu-
tional embargos. 1t is questionable
whether insurance can, by any form
of reasoning, be construed as inter.
state commerce. There are no decis-
ions of the federal supreme court bear.
ing directly on the point and the ablest
lawyers in the country would hardly
dare venture an opinion as to how that
august body would hold. The only
way to decide the matter is for con-
gress to pass a law intended to give
federal control and then have the su.
preme court pass upon it. 1t may be
necessary to amend the constitution
to make such legislation effective.

ization of business and commerce in
the form of great corporations and
trusts. The enactment of the par
GELS post would, in my judgment. pro-
mote this Capitalization to greater
extent than any legislation congress
has ever enacted. 1t would enable the
large department stores, controlled by
the large corporations or combina-
lions, to practically destroy the bust
ness of the small merchant outside
of the great metropolitan cities, and
the people would be paying for it by
the government taking from the tax

of Europe the parcels post mas work
ed satisfactorily, but it is only IN the
smaller countries that it has been
adopted or can prove success. In
our country it would increase the de-

made up by taxes. This together with

Jim Jeffries at Last Consents to Act

San Francisco, Sept. To-day

for $1,000 compensation. He added
in his message that he would leave
Los Angeles tonight for this city, so as
to arrive here in ample time for the en-
counter, which will take place on Sat-

Billy Nolan, the manager of Mel.

not consent in any circumstances to
Jeffries umpiring the fight. Nolan
strongly opposed Jeffries before the
toss of coin decided the long con-
troversy over the selection of ref

earlier refusal of Jeffries to act, as
an opportunity to force a change.
Nolan telephoned from Colma this
evening that he would come to San

JUDGE CHEADLE'S ADDRESS.

JUDGE CHEAOCES AOOReSS.
The able and interesting address
delivered by Judge f. X. Cheadle on
| .abor day will be found in full in this
issue.
In his remarks the Judge touched |
upon some of the questions and prob
lens that concern labor and the peace |
and welfare of the country today.
His views upon the admission Of the
Asiatic races into this country and
into competition with our own labor
are in accord with those of nine
tenths of our people.
This country has gone for enough
in that direction. 1t should treat re-
spectfully those who are entitled to
come here under existing treaties and
laws but there should be no further
letting down of the gates. The spirit
of commercalsm should not prevail
to the exten4 that it will do harm to
the toilers of this country The Chi
nese boycott of American goods, which
is subSiling. prompted some CONNER
cial bodies to suggest a more liberal
treaty with China, which would adj
nit of a larger number Of her sub
jects. but such proposition was
against popular sentiment and we are
not likely to hear much more about it.
All will agree with Judge Cheadle
that it is important that we develop
ces, that we have for immigrants
those whom we can assimilate, those
who will come to stay, to make homes
here and become Americans in every
thing except the accident of birth.
Not only should we close the doors OF
immigration to the Asiatics but as
Judge Cheadle says, to the hordes
coming to Gus shores from Southern
Europe, as well.
Over million immigrants landed
in this country during the past year
and only a very small portion were
of a desirable class. The great ma
| iority of them remain in the large
cities and contribute to the poverty,
degradation and crime of such places.
They are detriment to the laborinS
men of this country, who should be
among the first to demand stricter
immigration laws.
Judge Cheade's remarks as to the
progress and the objects and aims OF
the toiling masses, all of whom use
their hands and brains. will be found
interesting. He thoroughly believes
in organized labor and refers to what
has been accomplished in the past
century to better the conditions of the
dustrial system making organization
necessary.
Judge Cheadle has treated the great
question of capital and labor in al
: impartial manner. Ii both the EN-
ployer and the employed will reason

THE FARM OR THE CITY?

PROBABLY the most conspicuous thing
in modern civilization is the desertion
of the farm for the city. The proper
ton OF the population of every coun-
try on the globe that lives in cities /
has been increasing at great rate
for the last 25 years.
AS the movement is worldwide and
is not founded on reason, it is almost
useless to reason against it. and yet
it is as dangerous and deplorable as
1t is phenomenal. says the Chicago
Chronicle.
j. ]. Hill recently addressed the
Old Settlers association of North Da-
kota land in referring to the desertion
of the farms. said:
A good farm of 100 or $50 acres is
a comfortable. happy home. A man
can be a prince on his own farm.
You rob your children of this heri-
tage when you sell your farm. Keep
the boys on the farm.
1t is easy enough to point out how
this hegira began. 1t is the result of
the progress in machinery and manu-
features. The articles of human COM
fort and enjoyment which We're at one
time manufactured on every farm are
now manufactured in factories AL
most all of these factories are In the
cities, and the labor which formerly
produced them on the farm has now
followed these industries to the city.
This was the beginning of the move
ment, but it has greatly degenerated
since it began. 1t has now become
a mad rush to the city for the sake of
the excitement and fancied enjoyments
Of city life. The farm is consider
ed a dull place and the city is re-
garded as the abode of fun, amuse-
ment, society and comfort
There never was a time since Adam
delved and Eve spun when this was
more of delusion There never was
a time when there was more hard
ship, poverty and misery in the city
than now, and there never was time
