IS TT A BLUFFs


 Expressions of opinion from both Re- publican and Independent sources in- dIcate that any attempt on the part of the government to interfere with Cali fornia's school laws will not be plain
 't'rg by any means. For example, ConEfsssm1n Hull of Iowa, who is a Republican, and Is chairman of the House Committee on Military Affairs, says: 'T cant see where the Federal government comes in on this question of excluding alien Japanese from the public schools of a sovereign State" Then he continued: 'T Gon't believe ir will do for the Washington government to interfere. I do not thinx any for eIgn country would have any business in dictatIng to Des Moines That It's school authorities should do in the matter of entrance to the public schools" And The New York Com merclal remarks that Interference might set tremendously vicious pre- cedent."
 The Butte (Mont.) Inter Mountain refers to 'the unconstitutional attempt of the administration to regulate Cali foFnia public school affairs" The pa- per refers also to the fear of Southern people that if the administr ltion should succeed in its attempt to force the Jap anese into the public schools t would then attempt to force the negro sub- jects of foreign powers into white schools, and adds:
 This is quite true. black British subject, of whom there Ire thousands in the South. is as much -ntitled to full privileges as a Japanese lubject- which means that he is entitled ro nothing at all The federal government has not and never has had, the slight est power to regulate education in the various States MT. Roosevelt knew tI is when the Japanese treaty was siSned. He knew it when ne sent Mir Metcalf to California The entire agi- tation is a diplomatic bluff, to appease the Japanese people.
 We don't know whether 1t is a bluff or not. If 1t is 1t is not creditable to the government, and if the edministra- ton attempts to override the Califor- mia laws it will cause trouble; of that there is not a shadow of doubt. Bad precedents on the part, of those in au- thority arS extremely dangerous The indications are that any attempt to override the San Francisco regulations can only succeed by the use of the mill itary power of the government, and we do not believe even that would open the white schools of the South to negro children If the administration is wise 1t will drop the whole subject,

IMMIGRATION HEAVY.
Increase of Head Tax At Border POlni
 Has Small Effect.

Increase of Head Tax At Border Points
 Has Small Effect.
 San Antonio. Dec. .6,-Immigration into the United States at border points was heavier during the month of No- vember than it has been for many years.
 According to the monthly report of l.. C. Steward. immigration agent for the San Antonio district, 292 foreigners were admitted at the ports of Laredo, Eagle Pass, Del Rio and Preside dur Ing the month of November Thirty four persons were debarred as not be- ing fit to become citizens.
 Tn this number are not included Mex jeans. Cubans. Canadians or New Foundlanders, who are exempt from the head telx of $2. The increase in the amount of head tax required does not seem to have had the effect of de- creasing immigration, and foreigners coming to this country seem to be fairly well supplied with money. In 1882 the head tax was but 50 cents. It was increased to $2 in 1903.

PARESER'S QUERY.
On Restitution of Insurance Money by Republicans.

On Restitution of Insurance Money by
 Republicans. Albany Special to New York World.
 Former Judge Alton B. Parker, the Democratic candidate for President in 1904. was asked today if he had read the Washington dispatch in today s World that President Roosevelt, before he retires>from office, intends to have refunded to the policy holders of the "big three" insurance companies the $l4S,000 contributed by these companies to the Republican National Committee in 1904. Judge Parker replied
 'No, I have not read it."
 The dispatch was read to him, and then he asked:
 Do you put faith in it?"
 On receiving an affirmative answer, Judge Parker said:
 Does President Roosevelt or do his friends mean 10 have the public under stand t at the s14S,000 that the Repub- lican National Committee. presided you, received from the three New York insurance companies was alI>the money received from corporations?"
 "Or does he or they mean that policy holders money is different from stock holders money; that 1t was legitimate for the big business corporations to take the money out of their treasuries to elect the Republican ticket. but illegitimate for insurance corporations to do the same thing?
 And this suggests to my mind a query that I have long desired to have answered.
 If Chairman Corteiyou, in his in terview with the President before the latters famous denial. deceived the President about the corporation con- tribution, why has he honored' him by giving him seat in his cabinet? Why does he conride in him and trust in him?''

determine whether the problem will be solver by immigration of Italians but certainly thereeIs nothing in il to con- vince any one 1t won't.
 1t is claimed by persons who are considered authorities on the questfon, that there is no better cl fpoesao-s that there Is no better class of peo- pie in the world than that which comes from the northern part of Italy and from the rural districts
 There is tendency on the part or some Americans to have aNprejudice against the Italians, but very likely It is because of the lawlessness of the so- called Dago. the immigrant who comes from Corsica or Rome where the worst representatives of the~nation congre- gate, just as our worst element is most in evidence in New York and Chicago.
 The Italian farmer in America and Italy both is said to be honest, law abiding, frugal and one of the most in- dustrious classes on earth. If they are that, the climate here Is suitable to them. they would make almost ideal, immigrants for the South.
 We hope the movement inaugurated Tn Louisiana and Mississippi will be kept up and 1t might be that this per picking question will be settled TOT years to come.

COAL PRODUCERS FUEL USERS.

Over 0,O0O,O00 TOns of Anthracite n
 Year Burned at the Mines
 New York. Dec 6---Anthraeite coal producers of Pennsylvania are shown to be among the largest consumers of coal by the last report of the Pennsyl- vania Department of Mines. At some of the mines where vast quantity of water has to be pumped. 25 per cent of the coal produced is used for steam and heat. Steam with which to oper- ate shaft engines and slope engines must be forced through more than 100 miles of steam pipe; and in order to operate the machinery required in an- thracite mining, 460,21S horse power had to be produced by steam in 1905.
 For all these purposes the anthracite companies of Pennsylvania used last year 6.359,s tons or eoa1s and paid 8 coal bill ampun ting to several hundred thousand dollars. The least valuable coal was used at the mines, and of course transportation was saved, or this items which is small in compari- son with many others which make up the cost of anthracite production would have been much larger.

AFTER SICKNESS
Our Local Druggist, E. C. Fowler. Ad- vises Montgomery People To
 Take VlnOl.

Take ViROl.
 The one thing to aid recovery Is to give the patient a blood-buildinS ard strength restoring tonic. one that will impart new life and strength tO every organ in the body.
 For this purpose our local druggist, E. G. Fowler. says, ''Nothing equals Vinol"
 VinoI is not @ patent medicine, but real cod liver preparation which con- tains besides peptonate of iron every one of the body building. medicinal elements of cod liver oil, actually ta~ ken from fresh cods' flyers, but with out a drop of the naseating, greasy oil to upset the stomach and retard its work.
 Vinol is delicious to take, and sacts directly on the stomach. tones up the digestive organs, creates a healthy ap- petite makes pure, rich red blood and muscle tissue. and creates strength for every organ in the body.
 If VinoI failS to build up the run down and conYalescent, give strength to the aged, cure stomach troubles. hard colds and hanging-on coughs, we cheerfully refund every dollar paid us for it. F. c. Fowler, Druggist.
 NOTE-While we are sole agents for Vlnol in Montgomery, it Is now for sale at the leading drug store iD nearly every town and city in the country. Look for the Vinol agency in your town. adv

 There is no subject more interest Ing today to the planter than the la bor question For various reasons the negro has about played out as far laborer and the time is rapidly ap- preaching when some one will have to take his place
 Experiments nave already been made wikh the Italian in small way. Louisiana planter at Mound, La, had about six hundred acres in cotton cul- tivated by Italians this year and he Is enthusiastic over their success as farmers and points out many advan- tages they have over the negro.
 Also comes the news that fifty Ital- ians will come to Brookhaven. Miss, the first of the year and establish colony there. This movement will also be watched with interest. We hardly think the experiment of the Louisiana planter conducted on sufficient scale to

As a specimen Republican comment on a recent affair we give this from The Kansas City Journal.
 In some of the Southern States it is no infrequent occurrence that when negro commits an atroclOus crime and cannot be promptly captured and lynched the mob takes Is vengeance out on his family and relatives. kill i. them or driving them out of the neighborhood This practice is not prevalent in the North, -hGTgh some thing very similar in principle is seen in the treatment of the three compa- mics of the Twenty-ffth Infantry which were dishonorably discharged because three or four men who had acted badly could not be singled out for punish ment. MT. Roosevelt is of Touthern orioin on his mothers de and may have imbibed some of +he Southern ideas of meting out justice.
 Passing over the falslty of -Ae charge tkat it is mo infrequent occurrence" in the South to lynch ~egro brute's family because he escapes, we call attention to the charge against the President. It virtually accuses him of lynching negroes, which is going a lit tie further than his party critics usual ly do.

 He expressed a willingness to strike out subsidies for trans s-<Atlantic and African steamship lines, thus confin- ing the government aid to oriental and South America lines.

Wheat a Sure Crop.

That the Panhandle is a good
wheat country the most skepti-
cal no longer doubt. Yields
from Is to 40 bushels per acre
can be relied on. An annual av-
erage of 25 bushels per acre is
as sure as a dime is for a ginger
cake. When the Missourian
comes along and demands that
he be shown we are in position
to accommodate him. He can
be shown that under most favor
able conditions the yield runs to
the enormous amount of Sc
bushels per acre. There are
hundreds of eye witnesses to
the measure and amount of
the wheat and the land upon
hich it was grown.
In addition we invite the
prospector to an inspection of
the weather bureau reports is
sued at Amarillo tor the last
fifteen years.
In studying the monthly rain
fall for each year it will be
found that the Panhandle is as
safe for 25 bushels of wheat as
Illinois is for so bushels of corn.
That this soil and climate is
adapted to wheat no one doubts
and the only question that
arises is, the sufficient rainfall
at the proper time Of year?
Wheat raising experts are able
to furnish figures for the nee.
essary moisture to insure a
profita BILE wheat yield. The
weather bureau station at Am.
arillo answers the question as
to how near these moisture re.
quirements have been met tor
the last fifteen years. A study
of these figures will repay any
one who is interested in the
agricultural possibilities of the
Panhandle le.-AmarillO Herald.
