FIGHT OHIO's SALOON TAX LAW
Claim Made That Governor Was Out
OF Mind When He Signed Bill.

cincinnati. Dec. 19.-The hearing
of the legal attack on the constitu-
tionality OF the Akin saloon tax law
began here today before the superior
court. Testimony OF the members OF
the family of the late Governor Pat
tison had previously been taken on
the question whether he had been in
at mental condition to. consider the
bill after It's passage and presenta-
ton to him for Signature. Attorneys
for the saloon-keepers claim that the
bill was never presented to the gov
ernor aud that. the increase Of the
saloon tax from $500 to $1,000 was
Unconstitutional.

Aguinaldo-how many remember
him, the patriot of all our hopes, the
Washington of the Filipinos. the only
person that some of us half wished
would whip ali of us? His name is
recalled only as it is suggested by
conditions that are SO different. No
one is left fighting in the Philippines
except a few PuRjanes, says the re-
port of the commission. Even Edward
Atkinson, OF Boston, seems to have
been pacified.

IMMIGRATION AND EXcLrsroN

IMMIGRATION AND EXCLUSION.
immigration during the last fiscal
year was the largest in the history OF
the country. The total number of
aliens applying for admission was l :
1875. OF these 12.452 had their
applications rejected. and 65,61S
were returning to the country after
a temporary absence or we're reported
as tourists, so that the new arrivals
admitted numbered 1.1OO,735, OF
about 10000 more than the year be-
fore.
Italy and Austrla-Hungary each
contributed nearly a quarter of the
total and each exceeded the remark
able German emigration of 1882
which came to 250,630. That record
was first broken in the fiscal year
1904-5, when AustriaHungary sent
1854 emigrants to the United
States. This remains the highest fig
ure for any one country, but the Ital-
ial total for the last fiscal year was
27S. b20 and Austria Hungary's $685.
13S. At the same time Russia made
large advance. Taking the last
three fiscal years. her record reads:
1904, 1914; 1905, 1887; 1906.
215,665. The three countries togcth-
er contributed about GO per cent OF
al the immigration. They forged 10
the front as far back as 1896 and
have continued ever since to furnish
very large per cent OF the whole.
The Italians admitted for eleven years
including the fiscal year ending June
so, 1896, number about LOCO 600.
in accepting this total some allowance
must be made for aliens who return
home never to come to the United
States again. but even with the allow
ance ii is evident that there Is a
vast multitude added to the permar-
ent population Of the country.
Two ideas are suggested by the re-
Jections of the last year The first is
that under the present laws the mass
of immigration is very little affected
by the efforts at exclusion. But
though the percentage turned back Is
small. 1882 is not a small number
to be classified as unfit or to be
brought over in violation of law
Looking further into this question,
we find the secretary OF commerce
aud labor saying: "The principal
grounds for exclusion and the num-
bers respectively were: Paupers, u
JG9; contract laborers, ASIA; dis
eased aliens. 2,275; insane persons
and idiots, 231; convcts, 205 and the
remaining $40. including 1872 Chinese
were rejected for minor causes II
appears, then. as our second point
that the steamship companies are ac-
cepting persons whose disabilities are
manifest. In this connection the sec
rotary refers to the conclusions Of the
commiss Toner OF immigration that
more severe penalties should be I'M
posed for violations Of the law or
medical inspection should be made at
foreign ports OF embarkatlon. and

A BREACH OF CONTRACT.

M It was not punishment. That is the
'Uefense of President Roosevelt to
criticisms of his action in dismissing
IA whole battalion of colored troops
tat Brownsville. Tex, and the point
makes considerable difference in the
idgment of his conduct. With some
irit the president declares that the
lonly punishment for such wanton
{murder as characterized that night at
4 Brownsville is death. The president
|clearly sets forth his attitude in the
statement that the dismissal of the
LINEN was merely a termination OF
Their contracts OF enlistment, because
they had proven themselves unfit for
the duties OF soldier, and here is
his reason:
"These soldiers were not school
boys on a frolic. They were full
grown men in the uniform of the
United States army. armed with dead.
kly weapons, sworn to uphold the laws
/ .of the United States and under every
4 obligation of oath and honor not
merely to refrain from criminality
but with the sturdiest rigor to hunt
|down criminality; and the crime they
|,committed or connlyed at was muir
der"
b Although courteously complying
with the demand of congress for all
reports aud communications received
by him, and on which he based his or
der of dismissal members of the bat
Etalion for refusing to disclose the per-
|spetrators OF the murderous assault
on sleeping citizens of Brownsville,
President Roosevelt makes it plain
THAT he was acting well within his au-
fhority as commander in chief of the
limited States army, and states en-
phatically that he stands by his order
Hand would do it again under similar
circumstances. The reports show
THAT the soldiers to the number of a
score stole out of the barracks and
fired into residences; that many priv
ates and non-commissioned officers
Fere acquainted with the facts of the
crime but conspired after the deed to
&fonceal the evidence. The president
earned the soldiers of the result of
silence and then acted.
n In conclusion the president en-
Z phasizes the statement that he would
DO the same We're the soldiers white.
He calls attention to the obvious fact
( <hat the conspiracy and murder are
aggravated with race issues, and re
jterates his own sincerity in seeking
the amelioration Of the condition of
the co1ored race.

mot a truth to art or science has
been given,
But brows have ached for Il, and
souls toiled and strlven.
And many have striven. and many
have failed.
And many died, slain by the truth

The 0steopathc science has been
assailed as vigorously as ever any
new truth that has been offered the
world, but, today It is rapidly coming
into its own. as the people become
better acquainted with it-know IT.
Osteopathy is an evolution OF the
science of treating disease. II went
back to the first principles In nature
for its foundation. and by taking
step backward it has made a great
stride forward.
IL Is merely common sense
treatment; a method Of manipula-
ton to restore the normal conditions
of nerve control and blood supply TO
every organ of the body by removing
the physical obstruction. or stimu-
lating, or preventing functional ac-
tivitles, as the condition may re-
quire.
The success | have had in Padu-
cab in treating rheumatism, neural
gla, nervousness. malaria conditions,
such as the tired-out, rundown feel

ton of the successes OF the science
