HARRY J. SAXON, democratic
nominee for the responsible office
of sheriff of Santa Cruz county, is
too well known in this section to
need an introduction 10 the voters
throughout the county, where he
has resided since he was a small

more familiar with e,ery noun

familiar with conditions as they
exist on the border than he; no man
understands our Mexican friends,
many of whom are American citi-
zens than he;no man in the county
will work harder to give the county
a good, honest economical admin
istration than he; no man is more
capable, fearless, or honorable

Cruz county, by their vote, place
him in the sheriff's office, they
will never have cause for regret
for he is a level-headed business
man, possessed of an idea of the

The Japanese Question.

The exclusion OF the japanese from the
common schools of California has become a
serious matter and now the suggestion is
made that act should be secured from
Congress, excluding the Japanese as a peo-
pie from the United States as the Chinese
are now excluded While only local today,
II is probable that this anti-Japanese propa-
ganda may extend to other Pacific states,
and then throughout the west. So far how
ever, no good reason has been advanced for
Japanese exclusion, excepting a hint that
they might ''overrun" this country
The question. under such circumstances,
is: Would the United States profit. lose or
remain stationary If a steady stream of
Japanese immigration should empty itself
along our Pacific coast? 1t is well known
by us that the Japanese are certainly moth
ing II not up to date as nation They are
proud of their position in the circle of the
great powers. and If they are determined to
use IL to its fullest meaning. its deepest i'm
port, they cannot be blamed. With their
modern army and their modern navy. the
people OF the empire have won for them
selves most satisfactory credit abroad

According to American principles, the ma

Japan is ahead.

Notwithstanding all local bitches, as the
California incident may be termed as it

ment officially regards it-according to the

from the beginning been In favor of Japan.
This is due principally to the history and
the geographical situation of this country.
The cry of the late war about yellow race
against a white race, of barbarians against
a civilized people, of paSans against Chris
tians. made no impression upon Americans.
This is because ever since Columbus dis

Cuban Politics.
This is taken from a Havana cable:

This is taken from Il Havana cable:
The difficulty in Cuban politics is that
too much prominence is given to personal

Which is to say that Cuban politics is
like the politics of other countries. Where
does not the personal equation enter?

times beget the bitterest animosities. AS

Mark TWain's Clothes.

Mark Twain in cream -coiored suit in
December strikes an unusual note in the
p scheme of things. His argument that men
Dress too dolefuliy is worth considering
As long Il man is warm enough what
matters it whether he wears outside the
clothes of summer or winter hue? Imasi-
nation plays great part~in adjusting
our habits. and it has undoubtedly caused
the abandonment by most men of all the
tones of garb which are usually associated
with the warm season. Scientists will tell
you that white clothes are better to wear
IN summer because they reflect rather than
ABSORB the neat But this argument does
not hold good in winter as reverse propo-
sition. Indeed. if black clothes in sum-
mer allow the heat of the sun to penetra te
to the body, do not black clothes in win
ter allow the heat of the body to escape
10 the outer air?
Mark Twain takes a sensible view of this
matter, even though he is a professional
humorist. He is, in truth endowed with an
unusually large store of common sense
Perhaps that is why he is so successful as
a humorist. 1t often happens that the fun
NEST things in the world are those that are
sensible. And one of the prime qualities
of American humor is its appeal to the I'M
derstanding. Therein, argue some patriots
lies the essential difference between the
American and the British brands of humor
If we begin to wear white clothes in win
ter, thus upsetting sartorial traditions
we may possibly progress to other depart
ures from the conventional garb of men,
There are those who sigh for the good old
days of picturesque costumes knee
breeches, silk stockings. ruffied shirts and
all that. Now and then the followers of
sport will undertake to blaze their way
through the prim laws of haberdashery
and inject little color into our man-scape
But the hoi polloi are usually impatient with
these innoVators. and treat them as dudes"
and cranks.
Maybe the illustrious example of Mark
Twain, who has grip on the American
sympathies that is enjoyed by few other
men, not excepting statesmen and actors
will cause more lenient attitude on the
part of the great body of the people toward
the advocates of more picturesqueness in
our garb We need something TO liven us
up in these stern and strenuous days, and
perhaps the immortal Mark has given us a
valuable cue.

A Remarkable House Episode.

Nobody in the House prepared to speak
A recess follows Twenty precious minutes
go by, and forever. Would any body believe
this if the record did not bear 1t out? But
the record exists and should not be for
gotten. Friday, December Z. 1906, is the
day. and the glorious time un.m proved be-
tween 2:io and O'Clock in the afternoon.
And yet there are members who complain
of gag rules. and declare that tney are not
permitted to save the country by their eio-
qucncc. Charles \. Townc told a western
audience some months ago that he had no
''show" under the Cannon disoensation and
on that account was going INTO private
life. He did not add as he might have
done that the boss of Tammany Hall, from
whom he had received his latest commission
looked apDrovingly upon his decision
But we must remember the condition that
brought about this extraordinary episode.
The leader of the House proposed a topic
and the topic was the Presidents mes
sage. II was that which gave the states
men pause. Nobody cared-dared, ret US
say-to tackle that formidable document off
hand. All had heard the clerk read IT, and
then had read it themselves, and they con-
sidered silence, for the moment, to be the
better part of valor. Probably they We're
right.
The message is very important paper
far and away the most interesting the
President has written. 1t is not to be
tackled ''unadvisedly or lightly but rever-
emily. discrectly, advisedy. soberly. and
in the fear Of the future. The republican
member must consider that the author is
the leader of his party. and that, however
startling some of the views expressed the
party two years hence may be asked to
write them into its national platform. The
democratic member however much he may
applaud this feature or that, must consider
that by too great and indiscriminate praise
of the paper and its suggestions now he
might load shells for the opposition to be
used in 1908. Hence the caution. Hence
the refusal of members yesterday to rise
to Leader Payne's bait, and discuss sub
jects. some of which can wait and all of
which require thought.
The House, then, despite the jeers of its
enemies. is, may be easily made
deliberative body. 1t does not always hurry
INTO action. Here was a chance and q
temptation for everybody. but nobody i'm
proved it. All sat mute and the Speakers
gavel fell on the motion for recess with
out protest from either side. And. all
things considered. it was a dash of verv
eloquent silence.
