STATE POLITICS.
Just a Look.in at the Prospects for a
Lively time This Fall.

While in Denver this week the
editor of this paper was much
gratifled to observe that men of
all parties are stirred up TO gen
uine revolt against corporation
rule in politics. To the man who
desires results, without reference
to the source from whence they
come, the present condition is
truly encouraging. For years the
corporations have been tightening
their hold on the party organiza-
tlons all over the state, but mostly
on the Denver organizations
AT last the people have con-
cludcd to stand for 1t no longer
and this fall will be seen two of
the hottest conventions ever held
in the state. We are impressed
with the idea that there is just as
sincere a desire on the part OF the
decent republicans to get away
from corporation control as there
is among the decent element of
the democracy. Their chance for
defeating William Evans is not
SO good however, as is the chance
of the democratic hosts. turning
down Mr.. SPeer, the supposed
Denver boss of the democracy.
So very acute has the situation
become that even the men who
usually are governed simply by a
desire to be with the winning
party. are all now talking reform
This in itself is a guarantee that
the cooperation hosts are scared
out OF their boots. Successful on
the face of the returns in their
recent election. they have no con-
6dcncc. They know that they
were whipped to frazzel, and at
present rely on the supreme
court to save their hides.
And there are very good rea-
sons to our mind why they should
feel nervous and dissatisfied. 1t
is far from sure that the honorable
court will see fit to reverse itself
and write an opinion endorsing
all that Judge Steele has said in
his recent dissenting opinions.
That is a humiliation that courts
have ever refused to submit to.
1t is more than probable in our
opinion, that the courts will re-
fuse to interfere in the proceed
ings before Judges Johnson and
Mullins.
One very clear proposition is
that in the coming state conven-
tions the country delegate is to be
a deciding factor in all that is
done. No private caucus OF four
or FIVE belly wethers will dictate a
ticket and form an unbreakablc
slate. This time they are going
to consult with the outside dele
gates instead of issuing orders to
him. The vicious assault of Tom
Patterson and the Honest Elcc-
tons League has taken all the

USELESS TO FIGHT TRUSTS.
Prof. Giddings Suggests Method TO
Solve Corporation Problem.

New York, Dec. 4-Prof. F. II. Cid
dings, of Columbia University. pointed
out what he believes to be the only soIu-
tion Of the trust and corporation problem
in a lecture on Sociology at the uni
versity to-day. Prof GIddings believes
that it is impossible successfully TO fight
corporations by legal means Instead of
tying to do this. he would allow corpora
tiors TO consolidate and expand until one
huge interest has been formed. Then he
would chop off its head by substituting
public for private ownership Prof. Cid
dngs said:
we can't check the growth OF cor
poTations. We don't want to. What We
want to do is to let it so until We have
all big interests under one control and
then substitute public for private owner
ship"
The professor denied the report that he
was a socialist. although he admitted
that he had Only voted the soclalistic
ticket. He says he does not know whether
the socialists are working things out in
the right way or not
1T is a mistake" he says. "to try 10
solve the problem "A priori by public own
ership. What We do want is experimental

CALIFORNIA IS WROUGHT UP
President Not Well Informed Con.
cerning japanese Situation.
san Francisco Chronicle Calls One
Paragraph Of Message AN Exhi-
bitioa of Impatient Rage"
srecial % The Washington Herald.

SPECIAL 20 The Washington Herald
San Francisco. Dee. 4-San Francisco
and all California are much wrought up
over the Presidents denunciation Of the
segregation OF japanese pupils in the
public schools The general comment is
that the President has not tried to mas
ter the subject. as he refers 10 the ex-
clusion of japanese pupils, when it is
common knowledge that no japanese pu-
pills have been denied admission to a
school assigned TO Mougolian children.
The Chronicle has a vigorous editorial,
declaring that the President has over
cOerce San Francisco. 1t continues: The
President says to shut out japanese
from the public schools is wicked alb
surdity. They are not shut out froI1 the
public schools. That is an untruth. The
President demands more power to en-
force the rights Of aliens under treaties
The context shows that his assumption
is that the Japanese have a treaty right
TO enter the schools. There is no basis of
fact for that assumption.
He recommends that the japanese be.
by special law, admitted TO naturaliza-
ton. That is a proposition TO be ridiculed.
It's natural effect must be to cause the
japanese exclusion act 10 be pressed.
'He says all Of the forces, military and
civil. OF the United States. which I may
lawfully employ will be SO employed
This is an implied threat to use military
force to put japanese children into the
schools. when he we'll knows that ne has
no authority to do anything Of the kind.
and that any such attempt could only
load to his own impeachment.
THAT expression and the whole tone
OF The paragraph, viii strike the country
as an exhibition of impotent rage which
it is very mortifying to see in 4 formal
message of President"
