Let the Japanese government open
the gates, and what is now a tiny
stream will become a flood. Japan's
population increases by six hundred
thousand a year. If two or three
\ hundred thousand a year of the ex-
cess should come to the United States
in addition to the million or more
from Europe, Il capacity for absorb
ton would be still further taxed.
When the people of the Pacific
coast are hostile to the Japanese they
are expressing the very characteristic
which is the predominant n of the
Japanese themselves. The Japanese
government has left no stone un-
turned to drive foreign business men
out of Japan. Although we who live
in our D~ingley-built house of glass
need throw 10 stones, it is notewor-
thy that Japan has taxed all articles
which foreigners exclusively con-
sumo from one hundred to- four hun
dred per cent. If Americans emil
|.grated to Japan in the same number
as the Japanese are emigrating to
America, they would receive the So
cial treatment of a company of pa
riahs.
In speaking with a japanese once
| reminded him of this racial charac-
teristic. He said that certainly the
Japanese wanted no admiXture of
theirs with any foreign race. They
were too proud of their own civiliza-
ton and their own ways Then |

The Japanese in San Francisco is
becoming a ~storekeeper and contrac-
tor who undersells his American RI
val. Workmen are more bitter
against him than against the Chin
csc, because of his superior enter
prise and his unrelenting assertion
of equality.
Our habits of extravaganza make IL
seem unsportsmanlike that we should
be beaten in competition for our daily
bread by the economies of a little
man who finds as much fun in max

The increase of Japanese immigra-

Apple pies with raisins are far

cover, but do not pinch it against the
lower crust, and bake. When the
apples are tender, remove the upper
crust, without breaking it, season the

situation of the United Kingdom will

freight rates are a serious toll on
British commerce. Canal traffic is
important and helpful, but very slow.
The United Kingdom is at a serious
disadvantage, and feels it more and
more because of German competition
for the markets of the world, which
becomes more aggressive and keener

prove successful carriers of freight
the further development and I'm

WILL NOT BE A CANDIDATE.

Mr.. Roosevelt's latest positive asser-
ton that he will not in any circumstan-
ces be a candidate for denomination
should put at res all speculation IN
the subject. Those who put little con-
f1dence IL his first statement, made
just after his election, saying that it
was made under the excitement Of The
hour n would not stand against the
solicitations Of his party leaders, are
forced to admit now that he means
what he says or else accuse him of
being a very insincere and untruthful
man Regarding this last declaration
the Washington Post says:
Before starting on his trip to Pan
anna the president, during an informal
political, discussion which occurred at
the White house took occasion to re-
1terate his assertion that no combina-
ton Of circumstances could induce
him to become a candidate for re-elec-
ton in 1908. 81. ...s.r
several prominent public men were
present, having called to spend the
evening, II the presidents declara-
ton came while they were speculat-
ing ABOUT the next republican nomi-
nee. One of the visitors had alluded
to the frequent suggestions that Mr..
Roosevelt would be the logical man TO
head the ticket ear after next, and
thai ELECTED from him a candid state
ment concerning his own statements
on the subject. 81 q
The president said that while he ap-,.
preciated the compliment implied in
n proposal hat he be a candidate t.
succeed himself, and realized that it
was made i'll good spirit. his decision
to retire at the conclusion of his pres
ent term was irrevocable.H He thor
oughlv subscribed to the time-honored
tradition that the president of the Uni
ted States should not serve more than
two terms, and, as he has, said before,
he regarded this as his second term.
Moreover, in SO far as fame was con-
cerned he could achieve no more than
he had had already acquired, and then
there was the chance that the popular
esteem he now enjoyed might reach
the vanishing point, as happened in the
case of President Cleveland before he
concluded his second term.
The president stated, furthermore,
that henwas not 50 possessed of self
esteem as to believe the policies III

rfed to their logical conclusion by his
successor, whoever he NAV be.

NEW PARTY LINES.

Are the two old parties destined to
go to pieces before the assaults OF the
independent voters and new parties to
be formed. According to the Wash
ington correspondent of The Industrial
News the old warehouses; of both parties
think they see in the results Of the last
election signs of the end Of the present
alignment Of the parties in the near
future. They have discovered that the
voters were more Independent than
ever before and that they no longer
fear the party lash. The correspondent
writes his paper: q. 1....
Old-line politicians, both republicans
and democrats, are more disconnected
over the results of the recent election
than they are willing to admit. Lead
ers have issued the usual perfunctory
/. statements explaining victory or de-
feat, but the story of what the dyed
in-the-WOoI party men see in n re-
turns has not been told by them be-
cause they cannot bring themselves to
admit it even among themselves.
The specter hat looms up before
them, overshadowing everything else,
10 lldl VI LIZ 1IioSpSi1OSiiI, s4
voter. The bosses are realizing that
the party lash is fast losing it's potency
and that in the hear future there will
be no more lining up of voters for this
or that candidate on the grounds thai
the candidate represents this OR that
party. u.. .. q. -.
An analysis of the vote in the vari-
Gus states on last Tuesday shows that
never before was there SO much
scratching of tickets. This is notably
true of the result in New York, where
Hearst ran from sixty to seventy thou
sand votes behind his fellow-candidates
on the democratic ticket, but 1t is true
Of other states and evidences of it are
found in almost every congressional
district except in the south.
Another phase OF the general result
hat disturbs h Old-line party men is
the indubitable evidence that the re-
publicans elected a majority of the
members of the house because Presi-
dent Roosevelt was made the issue in
every congressional district. 1t can
not be construed as a party victory un-
less it is admitted that the president
Is the republican party and that is the
last thing the veterans in the game
will admit.

NEEDS OF THE RAILROADS.

When James J. Hill talks about rail-
roads people listen to what he has to
say. In a speech made in Chicago a
few nights ago. speaking of the con-
gested state Of railway traffic he said:
Today the entire country is suffering
from want Of transportation facilities
to move its business without unrea-
sonable delay. The prevailing idea
with the public is hat the railroads
are short Of cars, while the facts are
that the shortage is in tracks and ter
minals to provide a greater oppOrtuni-
I'll for the movements Of the cars.
The railways in this part Of the coun-
try realize hat condition, as is shown
by the large sums being expended in
increasing their terminal facilities and
trackage. The Atlantic Coast Line is
greatly charging it's yards in Whining
ton and at other points. The Southern
is double-tracking much of its line and
will in the near future have a double
track from Washington, D. c., to Sails
bury and from there to Knoxville and
to Atlanta, and is also preparing to
enlarge its freight yards at Charlotte
and other points. The Seaboard Air
Line also will increase it's yard track
age in Charlotte, having recently
bought valuable property there for that
purpose.
Our railroads have been caught by
the rapid development of the country
and consequent increase of business.
Both have been greater than they had
calculated upon; consequently they
were unprepared for the suddenly i'll
creased demand upon their resources.
They are using all the means in their
" power, however, to meet the demands
of their patrons in the way of securing
additional cars and locomotives, and
providing more terminal facilities and
trackage. .... -..-,.
