Abandonment Of high speed in
the interest Of public safety is a
notable return to sanity in railroad
travel. Under the new theory OF
successful railway operation public
safety is paramount and fast time
Of secondary importance. Expert
testimony on the subject indicates
that better results can he accom-
plished by even and smooth running
than by freakish speed bursts, which
severely test machinery and track
age.-St. Louis republican.

In the matter of the California
school question President Roosevelt
has once more permitted his strong
sympathies with the japanese to run
away with his common sense. He
should know that the general gov
ernment cannot make treaty with
any nation that would violate or
overstep the rights of the state
This is not saying that the rights Of
the state are superior to those of the
United States, but it is saying that
the states have rights guaranteed by
the federal constitution with which
the United States cannot interfere,
nor with safety overstep. If a treaty
has been entered into with the Jap
anese government that does not take
into consideration the rights of the
state to regulate and govern its own
concerns in its own way, then the
treaty will have to be changed. The
rights which belong to any and ev-
cry state are SO far superior to any
treaty that they cannot be called in
to question. In the case of con-
flict therein The treaty must get out
Of the way. Even Japanese states
manship, ifit understands the COM
plex system of government in use
here, would at once recognize that.
This is not an empire, monarchy,
or government in which the con-
gress, the courts, or the executive
can trample upon guaranteed rights
at will. The federal constitution is
still the sheet anchor Of safety.-Ft.
Dodge Post.

Discussing the little rumpus with
Japan, Senator William A. Clark
expresses the opinion the Chinese in
this country are superior to the
Japanese. 81 have loaned thousands
of dollars to Chinamen," said the
senator, "and never have l known
one to fail to meet his obligations. "
He emphasized his opinion as to the
superiority of the Cinnamon by call
ing attention to the fact that the
Japanese in their banking institu-
tions employ Cinnamon in positions
OF trust in preference to their own
countrymen.

VIEWS OF REV. DIR. BEATTIE.
Describes Work Among the Lepers
in China

Rev DR. Andrew Beattie, who Is In charge
of the American Presbyterian mission at
Canton, China, is on furlough for one year
and Is at present In this city, visiting DR..
Dobson at us 18th street northeast. DR..
Beattie is regarded as one of the most en-
ergetic workers in the leper colony, just
outside one of the city gates of Canton.
The colony question comprises about
1000 afflicted Chinese, of whom 100 are
ChrtstlaniZed. In speaking of the colony
to a Star reporter last night, DR.. Beattie
said he had reason to believe its growth
would be repaid. He estimates there are
about 10000 lepers throughout China, and,
as they are cast out by their families ime-
mediately upon the discovery of the dis
ease and as the government makes no pro-
vision for them. the Christian missions en-
deavor to care for as many as possible.
DR.. Beattie said the most notable step
taken since he has been In Canton, where
he went in 1898, was the building of a
home for untainted boys born of leper
parents. Funds were collected through the
efforts of the American consul. Mr.. Nc
Quade, and DR.. Beattie. 1t is proposed to
build a home for girls, and DR.. Beattie
hopes to take with him when he returns

ARE UP IN ARMS.
Citizens Of East Washington Object
to Municipal Order.

Arrangements were made late yesterday
afternoon to have a committee representing
the East Washington Citizens Association
visit the District Commissioners at IL
o'clock tomorrow morning and enter
protest against the proposed discontinuance
of the public improvements along Georgia
avenue between 18th and 18th streets
southeast. 1t appears. according to a state
ment made to a Star reporter last night by
a member of the East Washington Asso-
citation, that the contractor who had been
engaged in the preliminary work of laying
sidewalks and curbing along Georgia
avenue between the streets mentioned
received orders from the District building
yesterday to cease work at that point and
proceed to lay sidewalks and curbng
around the filtration plant. AS a result
the citizens of the southeast locality are
said to be up in arms
1.-The avenue is all plowed up between
18th and 14th Streets" member of the
association said land as result the thor
oughfare will be left in a most deplorable
condition until next spring. When the
snow and the thaws come the conditions
will be awful, and the street will be unfit
for use. Pedestrians who attempt to pass
along the avenue will be compelled to wade
through soft mud over their shoe tops.
We hope to be able to induce the Com
missioners to rescind their order for the
discontinuance of the work.
