sisten advocate of home rule for ireland for MANY
years and 1t he succeeds Sir Mortimer Durand as
ambassador at Washington the Irish natonaIists

RIGHTS OF THE JAPANESE.

PRESIDENT Roosevelts message transrnittinc to
congress the report of Secretary Metcalf on the
segregation OF Japanese school children at San
francisco is vigorous document and gives what
may be accepted as very accurate idea Of cond-
lions prevailing III the city by the Golden Gate.
Secretary Metcalfs report makes it clear that
the conflict is one entirely due to race preiud;ce
seemingly justified in some points and wholly un-
warranted in Others Hostility to the admission Of
adult Japanese to the schools attended bv Ameri-
can children of the ordinary school age is obviously
proper and fully defensble
On the other hand the offensive boycottine.
or japanese restaurants and resort to physical vio-
lence against Japanese residents is wholly without
Justihcation, and cannot be tolerated
Under the treaty between the United States
and japan full protection of person and property is
guaranteed the Japanese and it is obligatory upon
this government to that such protection is given
wherever its authority is exercised.
The president is not merely warranted in en-
forcing but by the obligations of his office is COM
PEELED to secure complete enforcement of these
guarantees. ITO this end" he declares every
thing IN my power will be done and all the forces
OF the United States, both civil and military which
can lawfully employ will be employed"
In no other way the sincerity and good
faith OF the government of the United States be
maintained. As to the legality of the segregation
OF Japanese children, that is matter to be deter
mined BY the orderly processes of law and they
have already been invoked in the interest of the
Japanese of San Francisco

THE PATRICK CASE.

Governor Higgins of New York has under
consideration the petition OF that extraordinary
convict, Albert I. Patrick, for Communication Of
sentence, and there appears to be confident belief
at New York that the alleged murderer of Million
aire Rice will not meet death in the electric chair.
On the question of granting Patrick a new
trial the New York court of appeals by division
of four to three denied the petition. The
court divided entirely upon questions of law fact
which should have strong weight with Governor
Higgins in favor of the prisoner. and which would
fully Justify communication OF the death penalty TO
life imprisonment.
The doubt raised by this division on matters
OF law necessarily impeaches the correctness OF
Patricks trial and conviction. 1t is absolutely
essential to even-handed justice that the trial of the
accused be correct.
Patrick is of less importance than the tsiumph
OF justice but in the present case justice seems TO
demand the imprisonment rather than the execution
OF the prisoner
Three eminent judges have declared that
Patrick was incorrectly tried. Four other equally
eminent judges hold that while there were errors
in the trial they were not of a magnitude to
pcremptorily require new trial.
Under such circumstances there is created z
doubt that will fully warrant an exercise OF cxecu-
tive clemcncy in behalf OF the man condemned
That there errors OF law all the seven Judges
OF the court of appeals agreed By three these
errors were viewed as grave and by four they were
regarded as not grave 10 render another trial
Imperative. Obviously there is doubt in the mind
& he court to the legality OF Patricks trial. and

MR.. SANTA CLAUS

oh! Santa Claus is coming with a sleigh-
load full or toys
And popcorn balls and candy canes for
little girls and boys.
The Eskimos hurrah at him. the wairus
winks his eye,
The polar bears draw up In line to watch
him gallop by;
While off the shore a ten-ton whale at
anchor rides all day
To ferry Mr.. Santa Claus right over Bal
fins bay.
So don't forget to go to bed when mother
tells you to-
And don't forget 10 do the things you
know you ought TO do;
Don't steal that jam or eat that pie that
looks so dreadful good:
Behave yourselves like little men and lit
tie ladies should,
It's terrible to be so nice. but don't for
II you are bad you'll wait in vain for Mr..
Santa Claus.
The bells his ieaping reindeer wear are
jingling forth tune,
The Arctic wolf yelps out, "Good-by" be-
meath the northern moon.
AS rumblngt over icebergs tall and
crouching through the snow,
Past curious seals and Northern Lights
his fieet-footed chargers 20.
And now and then he reaches round and
from his load he throws
A little pack OF presents for the baby Es-
kmos.
So never pull your sisters hair or rudely
say IT won't"
Don't say you want to stay In bed when
mother says you don't.
Don't snatch away the baby's dog, take
care to wash your face.
And always put each toy at night exactly
in it's place,
An awful burden such things are, but do
them all, because
Bad children get no visits from old Mr..
Santa Claus,
