Our Delegation at Washington
Stirred to Resentful Mood

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-That part of
the Presidents message dealing with
the japanese question aroused the
greatest interest OF the members of the
California delegation in Congress and
caused a feeling of displeasure, TO say
the least among them all. There is no
cinerence OF opinion IN the delegation
regarding the sentiments expressed by
ne President All the California rep
resentstives united in their denuncia-
uon OF the position taken by the ex-
ecutive. They were especially resent
ful OF that paragraph in the message
IN which the President suggests the
use Of the military forces of the Gov
eminent In enforcing the rights Of
aliens.
II is probable that the delegation will
soon hold a conference for the purpose
OF determining their future course Of
action in this matter in case the ques-
ton comes squarely before Congress.
All members Of the delegation expressed
practically the same sentiments in their
comments on this part OF the Pres
ioent's message, although they were
careful TO tone down their remarks for
publication.
Senator Perkins said:
1 agree with the President in the alb
etract A treaty is the supreme law Of
the land. Neither California nor any
citizen OF the State has violated in let
ter or In spirit our treaty with Japan.
I an opposed to the naturalization Of
the japanese. There will be no war or
serious trouble over this matter which
the people OF California are amply able
90 work out and adjust to the satisfac-
ton OF all concerned.
SMITH Is INDIGNANT.
Representative Smith said:
It would be difficult to imagine a
document IN which the language was
more offensive 10 a portion of the coun-
try than this message in its treatment
OF CALIFORNIA; attitude toward the Jap
snese. When a few aliens in birth and
blood are segregated and put in sepa-
rate schools we are told that IT is the
sure mark OF a low civilization, a low
morality" and that II is most discred-
stable to us as people" To treat the
japanese no worse than we treat those
having a trace Of negro blood is 10 eX-
hibit most unworthy feeling, and
such an act is a wicked absurdity" and
8 confession Of inferiority IN our civ
flization." The recommendation that
Congress pass an act specifically pro-
viding for the naturalization of Japa-
nese" is wholly gratuitous.
Representative McKinlay said:
The feeling against the japanese in
California viii not be allayed by the
Presidents message. and should any
display Of force be made it would only
sggravate the situation
Representative Hayes said:
The California delegation will Ger
tainly oppose with all their vigor any
bill providing for the naturalization Of
the japanese. The people of California
have not violated any provision OF the
treaty and have not subjected them
selves TO any threat of the use Of the
military forces OF the Government in
enforcing that treaty.
Representatives Kahn and Knowland
expressed similar views on the ques-
ton.

ALLEGED COMBINE.
INVESTIGATED

DENVER, Dec. 4.-Interstate Com
merce Commissioner E. E. Clark took
evidence in Denver today in the inyes-
tigation he is conducting under the
Tillman- Gillespie resolution to ascer-
tain whether certain corporations OF
Colorado and Utah enjoy privileged
rates from the railroads and whether
there is in existence In these two
States combinations in restraint OF
trade based on systematic rate dis
elimination High officials of the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad. the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company and
the American Smelling and REFINING
Company have been summoned.
j. A. Reider, auditor of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company, was que
STONED about the connection between
that company and the Colorado and
Wyoming Railroad. He said the rail.
road was not owned by the Colorado
Fuel and Iron Company. but the Of
ficers of the railroad company were
also officers of the Colorado Fuel and
Iron Company.
]. F. Welborn, vice president of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron Company. &C.
knowledged that over 95 per cent OF
the freight on the railroad was han
died for that company.
The witness said there had been a
and
that nearly all the mines had been
closed at different periods owing to
this. shortage of cars.
The witness said he knew of no dis
elimination of railroads in regard ia
cars either in favor of or against the
fuel company.
Welborn said that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company did nothing for the
Denver and Rio Grande Railroad in
return for the low rate. He said that
it was necessary for the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company to have that rate in
order to do business in Pueblo at a
profit. He did not know that the fact
that other manufacturers could not
get the same low rate was the rea-
son that Pueblo had not become a
great manufacturing city.
Charles E. Schlacks, vice president
of the Denver and Rio Grande Rail-
road, said that the rate on coal granted
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
was not directly remunerative, but the
company felt that the encouragement
Of this large company was of benefit
to the State and to the Denver and Rio
Grande. All the stock of the Utah
Fuel Company, he said, was held by
the Rio Grande Western Railroad Com
pany.
Schlacks said he did not know
whether any of the oil companies al
Florence were connected with the
Standard Oil Company.
The records of the purchase of coal
lands, he said, were kept In Utah
The auditor OF the fuel company had
testified in Salt Lake that the records
were kept in Denver, and counsel
brought this discrepancy to the at
tention of the witness, and Schlacks
said then he did not know where the
records were kept
Welborn was recalled. and he pro-
duced list of directors of the COM
panies. Only one man was shown to
be director in both companies.
Three witnesses were called, who
said they filed on coal land with the
understanding that they could sell II
when it was proved up on, and later
transferred the land to Representatives
of the Utah Fuel Company for a CON
sideration of $50 each.

Naturalization Would Tend
to Debase Citizenship
Stockton Independent

President Roosevelt's message to
Congress will be received in California
with great surprise and with much in
part of the message that treats of the
Japanese in San Francisco is based on
erroneous information and might be
excused on that ground IL the President
had not followed it up by recommend
ing that Congress provide for the
naturalization of Japanese
Such law will be regarded by resi-
dents of the Pacific Coast as a meas
ure that would tend to the debasement
of the boon of citizenship and to or
ganizing disintegration.

Sentiment of Whole State
Is Against Exclusion
Los Angeles Times

If a vote could be taken covering the
whole State as to the exclusion of
Japanese laborers from California,
there is scarcely a shadow of doubt
that 1t would be overwhelmingly
against any such proposition. The
question of excluding the Japanese
from the public schools in San Fran
cisco is purely local. There is no doubt
that grave reasons do exist why the
japanese pupils should in numerous in
stances be excluded from close asso-
citation in the public schools with
white children.

You Lower Your Country
Dignity, MIR. Roosevelt!
Bakersfield Californian

Mr.. Roosevelt, you do not understand
the situation and we fear that you
are too stubborn to be open to CON
viction now that you have formed your
opinion. You are unfair to your coun-
trymen by giving no place in your
message for an expression of their
views. You place too high an appre-
citation on the worth of Japan, and by
demanding equal rights for her unin-
vited immigrants to our shores you in
a manner lower the dignity of your
own countrymen.

Situation Does Not Call for
the Language Used
Eureka Times

Probably the most striking part of
the message to the people of the Pacific
Coast is that severely condemnatory of
the people of San Francisco for their
refusal to admit the Japanese to the
public schools. Surely the language
seems too strong for the occasion. The
people Of the South segregate thu
negroes and escape such excoriation
and certainly San Franciscans should
have the same right.
The right of the matter is not af-
fected by the fact that Japan has war
ships with which to make threatening
demonstrations and the negroes have
not.

East Does Not Know Little
Brown Men as We Do.
San Bernardino Sun

The people OF the United States will
not look with favor upon any immigra-
ton which does not offer the possibiIi-
ties of citizenship, and In this regard
the Japanese is fully as Objectionable
as the Chinaman. He Is always the
subject of the Mikado and hopes for
nothing else.
The President has a wrong premise
at the foundation of his argument
when he suggests the assimilation of
the Japanese. If Californians arc most
pronounced in these opinions 1t Is be-
cause they know the Japanese better
than do the citizens of other States.

Must Admire Message, No
Matter Our Opinions
Bakersfield Echo

The message will not be accepted
with universal approval by any means.
The Pacific Coast will take exception
TO the Presidents remarks concerning
the proper treatment of the Japanese
Nevertheless, whether we like and an
prove everything the President says. or
dlsapprove of many things he says, we
will all agree that the message is
strong, frank and a vigorous docn-
ment.

and Czar-like when there is no neces-

December s. 1904, declaring what
would be done with the Central and
South American republics If they did
not pay their debts.
AS he has completely reversed him
self on that proposition, let us hope
that he will also soon see the Japanese
invasion of our common schools in it's
proper light.

Mr.. S. w. Parlin says editorally in the
American Horse Breeder of the 1st inst:
We received pleasant call few days
since from Mr.. A. R. Tatum of Whining
ton, Del, a subscriber of this paper. Mr..
Tatum is driving on the road pair of
mares strongly tinctured with Morgan
inheritance and finds them very pleasant,
cheerful drivers. One of them is quite
strongly inbred to the old fashioned
Morgans. The other is by Baronet
Glib, whose sire was Baron Wilkes
(2:1S, and his dam Lamberta was by
Daniel Lambert, his second dam being
by Young Columbus and from Fanny
Cook, the dam of Daniel Lambert.
The dam of this Baronet mare is also
a descendant of Daniel Lambert. If we
correctly remember her sire was Ben
Franklin (2:20, one of Daniel Lambert's
most noted sons. We judged by Mr.
Tatums remarks that while the old
fashioned Morgan mare is highly salts
factory as common roadster for going
values the Baronet mare much more
highly than the other. She is Just as
good a roadster as the old-fashioned
Morgan, and when called upon can trot
twice as fast as the other. Mr.. Tatum
attended the Brattleboro, VT, Fair last
fall and had a good opportunity to COM
pare the Morgans that were representa-
tives of different branches of the Morgan
family and expresses a preference for
the descendants of Vermont Black Hawk
through Ethan Allen.
AS a result of his visit to the Brattle-
boro Fair, Mr.. Tatum bought several
more Morgan mares, two of which he
purchased from the veteran breeder E. D..
Kinds. These mares were wintered in
Vermont and Mr.. Tatum was on his way
there to get them. He thinks that the
best type of Vermont Black Hawk that
he has seen in years is Gen. Gates. AL.
though from dam that was largely, if
not quite, thoroughbred, Gen. Gates
undoubtedly bears a closer resemblance
to Vermont Black Hawk than did many
of Black Hawks own sons and his get
are mostly Of the true Black Hawk type.
Mr.. Tatum will probably send a mare
by Ben Franklin (2:29D, or from one of
his daughters, TO Gen. Gates this season.
He is sending most of his Morgan mares
to such stations as Chimes, Anderson
Wilkes (2:l74), Todd (2:14s), and Mr..
w. r. Jauvier's grand, young stallion
Royal Swell. Mr.. Tatum lost daughter
of Ben Franklin (2:29) by death last
season, that had foal at foot by Todd
GLAD. The foal was raised by hand
and is now doing nicely. One of his
mares will produce foal by Todd this
season. By mating his Morgan mares
with such fashionably bred stations as
those named above the foals will be liable
to possess the valuable Morgan qualities
and at the same time are likely to develop
as high rate of speed as any foals that
these stations get from any mares.
