CRONY OF OUR AMBASSADOR
A Member of the Refchstag Re-
marked that the Kaiser Was Not
So Broad-mInded or So Autocratic
as President ROoseveIt--WeI Ac-

Emperor William has more pride in his

Of the progress Il has made in the last
quarter Of a century. as proud as he Is
of his high position, OF the immense pow

prOuder yet Of being a Hohenzollern.
From that first Conrad who left his
home in Suabia TO seek his fortunes with
the Emperor Barbarossa, and become
Burgrave Of Nuremberg, and founder of
the present reigning family Of Prussia,
the Emperor knows the history Of every
member Of mis- house. and has tried 10

character all their weaknesses. 1t is

the Emperors mind il is greater yet 20

compelled 10 choose between his scepter
or his blood, he would unquestionably
choose the latter. The remark, therefore
although he IS a self-confessed admirer
OF President ROOsevelt-made by an

Dangers as Well as Advantages in

David Starr jordan, in the World To-day.
1t cannot be denied that great dangers,
as well as great advantages, lie in our
relations with Asia. We have. on the
Pacific Coast, no economic asset more
valuable than the good VIII Of China and
Japan. On the other hand. there is real
danger that our civilization may suffer
enormously from the mere overflow Of the
superhuOus japanese and Chinese.
I believe that exclusion laws should be
Jointly framed, so that the people we
deal with viii not be humiliated by them.
Any sort of exclusion law Is an evil. An
overflow Of people of less intelligence,
less self-reliance, and less patriotism than
our own, whether from Japan, China,
Poland. Africa. or elsewhere, is also an
evil. If we choose exclusion acts as the
lesser evil, we should not make them
offensive to those We do not need 70 ex-

The president Takes Them All.

From the Baltimore Sun
President Roosevelt is the despair OF
all statesmen Of advanced views and op-
posite political faith in the United States.
He will not allow them TO keep IN the
lead In the advocacy Of measures which
seem to have a considerable degree OF
popular support. There was never such
a bold and audaoious statesman in the
United States as the Chief Magistrate
who has. in the last few years-and ceT-
tainly IN no Pickwickian spirit-de-
nounced his political opponents in one
breath for their dangerous and unpa-
triotic radicalism, and at the earliest op-
portunity seized their most radical doc
trines and made them bis own.

The Washington herald., 1906-12-09

It is interesting TO learn how the emf
grants are induced TO go to the less thick
lv populated regions Of the United States.
It is the universal tendency TO go direct
to New York. As an inducement to set
tie farther South, the transportation from
Bremen to Baltimore is $3.50 less than the
fare to New York. From Bremen TO Gal
weston is s. less. hence there is none
tarv reason why the least prosperous
emigrants should be landed where labor
is in greatest demand. Practically few
euigrants are allowed to stop in New
York. Unless they have relatives who
will receive and house them. under no
condition are they received In the metrOp-

SAN DIEGO, Dec. 13.-The Morning
Union, which is owned by the Spreckels
interests, will announce tomorrow That
John d. Spreckels and associates have
decided to build a railway from San
Diego to Yuma and have taken the
preliminary steps to that end.
Articles of incorporation of the san

d. Spreckels. jr., William Clayton and

the filing was deferred until this even
ing and the fact of the purpose of
Messrs. Spreckels and associates to

Flint Sees the President
by Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Ex-senator
Flint of California talked with the
president today about the break in the
Cc.orado river, which has resulted in
such disastrous flood in Imperial valley,
California.
When he asked that proper repre-
sentation be made. to Mexico with a
view to securing financial redress for
the persons whose property had been
injured. the president told him that the
state department had already addressed
note on the subject to the Mexican
government. but that SO far no reply
had been received.
The senator said that unless some
steps were taken within sixty days II
would be impossible ever to do any
thing, for the Imperial valley would be
filled up and the towns of Imperial
Brawley and Heber would be wiped off
the map.
