Unhsnding.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-After
stirring up the country, giving the ex-
citable one food for expression the
war cloud of 1906 is d~issipated leaving
only the rumbling Of a court case in
California. The officials most concern
ed regard the whole thing as a "tem-
pest in a teapot"
1t is not considered that there was
justification for the talk it caused, to
say nothing of the serious talk by
members of congress anent the ghost
Of states rights. Those having the
views Of the president on Japanese
think he could have appeased them
by less advanced declarations.
California congressman who talked
almost continuously for three days
were thought to be talking for home
consumption. At the same time they
were serious in the contention that
Japanese coolies must be excluded in
the same way as Chinese coolies are.

Roosevelt AIienates jefferson Demo-

CHICAGO, Dec,...-Th democrats
predict a political upheaval as the re-
suit Of Roosevelt's treatment of the
Japanese situation and they say Bry-
ans chance is heightened. Heretofore
it was thought that Roocevelt was
more Of a Jefferson democrat than a
republican,, but they now regard the
threat to send troops to San Francisco
as alternating him forever from con-
sideration in the same class with JEFF
ferson and reinstating Bryan as the
unequivocal leader of the democratic
hosts.
Sydney Vanwick, Jr., of San Fran
cisco, here says, Bryan never arro-
gated to the federal government any,
thing half so radical. Naturally the
people turn to Bryan and the demo.

fere with the sovereignty of states"

FORT DODGE, Ia, Dec. CIV. H.
Lippold, former professor Of botany
at the University of Minnesota, and
Miss Alma Robinson of this city, were
married here at s o'clock last even

years ago. When he left the Univer-
sity of Minnesota to take up Y. M. c.

who is regarded as one of the beauti-
women of Iowa.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Senator
Depew, ruddy complexioned and COM
pletely restored to health. sat in his
library in dinner dress slipping his af-
ter dinner coffee and discussed his
waning popularity.
For the fifty years that I was on
the stump in politics, beginning with
the campaign of Sc I had nothing but
praise and f1attery from the press;
for the last two years nothing but
unlimited abuse, I am curious to know
how long it will take for the abuse
swelling OF the head induced by
fifty years reduction already, con-
sidering that the forces are operating
in the ratio of so to 2"
The senator discussed political ques-
tons, and said that the feeling of I'M
rest was growing. Hughes was the
only man who could have beaten
Hearst. Roosevelt is the only man
the republicans can certainly elect in
1908. The people trust in him to
carry out the reforms and the conser-
vative element fear him less than any
other man who might be elected on a
redical platform" Depew believes
Roosevelt was honest in his declara-
ton that he would not run again in
1908, but that there would be condi-
lions under which he could not refuse.
Senator Depew favors the inherit
ance tax. 1.-THE people want it," said
ne. when Sir William Harcourt put
through the Inheritance tax in Great
Britain he was criticized for taking
from the portion of widows and Or
phans. Harcourt replied that there
were lots of people willing to take the
inheritance less the tax"
The income tax is different. The SUI
preme court has declared it u%nconsti-
tutional and congress would be slow
to pass a law in face of the courts
decision.
Senator Depew said he favored the
Philippine tariff.
