Relic of the Cliff Dxellers.

That the cliff jewellers OF the Mesa
Verde in southwestern Colorado had
enemies there can be no questica
In nearly every one OF theireommun-
al buildings can be found towers and
lookouts with small windows or loop
holes commanding all approaches.
usually these towers are a part of
the main building, but occasionally
they are detached and stand of at
some distance. being built up sufii-
ciently high to survey the country on
al sides.
One Of these remarkable struct-
ures has been found in Navajo Canon
and is in a fine state of preservation
The tower still stands on top of a
sandstone cone about thirty feet
high and is perfectly cylindrical. By
aid of steps worn in the sandstone
II is possible TO climb to the tower
and even TO walk around IT, The
walls are twenty-four inches thick
and, although the original height Is
not known, the walls now in place
are over nine feet high. This tower
rising from the bottom of the canoS
to height above the surroundinf
rim, commanded view OF the ada
cent mesa, and was undoubtedly the
viewpoint from which warnings o.

In speech which has been widely
quoted Secretary Root said 1t was
the people nowadays who determined
the question of peace or war, and the
influence of newspapers on the peo-
pile is incalculable. For this reason
both Japan and the United States
welcome an intelligent statement OF
pending questions and urge that no
attention be paid to sensational re-
ports until they have been verified.
Articles which appear in such pa
pers as the Hochi should be viewed
with suspicion, especially when claim
ing to present the attitude of the
japanese government. The chance

cause NadSWOrtn objected 10 having
the old districts cut up. II was ad-
mitted the stste had not been honest
ly apportioned, and that the constitu-
tional limitations upon the right of
the legislature to cut up the state
had not been observed. The personal
element was 80 strong in the assemb-
~ that In spite of the influence of the
governor Speaker Wadsworth was
able to defeat the apportionment bill
for his own interests.
Rebuke To Wadsworth Adroit.
Without any unnecessary fireworks
the governor called the legislature
back IN an extra session. The one
Feature OF his message which created
Amusement and delight in Washing
ton was the paragraph in which he
lsaid:
THE failure to provide a suitable
Iapportionment at the regular session
in the absence OF any public reason
has been a serious disappointment TO
the people. To avoid further public
Inconvenience It is OF great import
'ance that the matter should now be
Disposed Of promptly. Obviously
such question. invilving political
consequences, gives rise to conflict
of interests, and its solution cannot
be hoped for without personal sacri-
fees. b the test Of public spirit
lies In the readiness to make much
sacrifices, and do emphatically de.
mand that public duty shall not be
subordinated to personal interests or
convenience.
There have been few instances I'm
politics where a public rebuke has
been administered 50 adroitly and
with such dignity. In the opinion of
New York men this one paragraph
although II may not secure satisfac-
tory apportionment bill, will mean
the political death of the Wadsworth
combination. both father and son.
Luck Drives Him Along.
In less than a year Gov. Hughes,
with quiet persistence has made him
self champion OF drastic state regula-
ton of corporations, of an honest ap-
portlonment, and OF direct nomina-
tion by the people to avoid partisan
bossism He already stands for n
good deal more in New York than
Grover Cleveland ever did. lie is un-
popular with his own political ma
chino Just as Cleveland was, and yet
Cleveland was nominated repeatedly.
II Is whispered among New York
men here that Gov Hughes still has
a large amount of ammunition of an
unexpected character II is believed
that when he gets through with his
fight for apportionment and direct
nomination he will proceed TO demand
other and equally popular political
reforms.
Nothing could be better timed.
The results Of the extra session and
the fight between the governor and
the Republican ring in the legislature
will be fresh in the minds of the peo-
pie when they come to discuss presi-
Dental candidates seriously next win
ter.

Dispatches Are Myths.

He speaks English well and knows
how to make newsy TRANSACTIONS Of
dispatches taken from old Japanese
papers.
This Is what he did a few days ago
when be gave to the press the sub
stance Of an alleged official confiden-
tial memorandum said to have been
issued by Foreign Minister Hayashi
and describing the attitude of the
japanese government on the ques-
ton Of the Limitation Of immigration.
The authenticity Of this memoran-
dun is denied in well Informed cir
cles, and an Investigation discloses
the fact that DR.. Miyakawa read the
memorandum which he disseminated
in an opposition newspaper of To-
kio.
Miyakawa claims TO be the owner
of a paper in san Francisco called
the Japan Tribune, sheet of no
standing. according to reports here.
Its profits must be small. for Miya-
kawa's supply of cash. according to
what Is known. is limited.
lie is in constant telegraphic cor
respondence with disgruntled Japa-
lnese on the Pacific coast. IL he re-
celyes any cabegrams. as he claims,
they are few and far between.
Toxic Gable" of Whole Cloth.
He alleged recently he had been
advised from Toxic that Ambassador
Aoki was to be recalled, and the pub
lllcatlon of this information gave rise
| TO a great deal of comment in this
country and caused officials to de-
clare if the ambassador were with
drawn the action could only be re-
garded as an indication that Japan
proposed TO adopt the mailed fist
policy. and would necessitate prepa-
rations by this government.
Il has since developed that there
was absolutely no foundation for the
report of Viscount Aokrs recall. The
Ambassador Is to remain indefinitely
in the United States, and possesses
the full confidence OF his govern
ment, which includes the emperor as
well as the ministry.
Miyakawa said a few days age
that he could stop the agitation in ia
pan in moment If he chose TO do so
He also could stop the agitation in
the United States by falling to give
to innocent newspapers and report
ers some Of the information he ex.

1T Is IMPERIAL POLITICS

Washington. ID. c., July lit is
about time American people should
understand the character and extent
of the political propaganda which Is
I'm progress In this country for the
overthrow Of the ministry in power
pondent. The avowed object of this
propaganda is to secure better treat
ment for japanese in the United
States. Its real object is the estab-
lishment by the people of Japan of a
new government, made up Of mem
bers of the progressive party, with
Count Okuma as premier.
The man who claims to be taking
care OF the Interests of the progress
i've party in Washington is DR. Ma
sui Miyakawa, a clever japanese.
who holds a number of degrees re-
ceived from American colleges, and
who alleges that he is a graduate Of
various high schools in his native
country, where. he says. he has lee
tured on international law before the
naval cadets of Japan.
II IS true he has degrees. His
home career is not so well authenti-
Gated. He has been in the United
States on and. on for eight years,
though he spent some time in Rus
STA getting information for the Japa-
nese army and served as a war cor
respondent in China during the boxer
revolt

knowledge of Miyakawa's doings
that is responsible, in a great meas
ure, for the refusal of the state de
partment to express concern over the
japanese situation.
At the same time. H. is apparent
that the representative of the pro-
gressive party is DOING his political
work well. but the officials say that
If he Were really patriotic he would
not be seeking TO embroil his country
and the United States, even though
thereby he might secure the domina-
ton Of his friends in the japanese
government.
Expulsion Would Dignity Him.
OF course, If the United States
chose, 1t could expel Miyakawa as an
allen dangerous to its peace and
safety, and there would be no protest
from Japan. but this would give to
the man a dignity he does not de
serve, and authorities rely upon the
common sense of the American peo-
pie to pay no attention to his poiti-
cal roorbacks.
Miyakawa has sought to make
capital with his friends by stating
that he spent three-quarters of an
hour with the president. AS matter
OF fact, he was with the president
only a few minutes. when the latteD
was in Washington several weeks
ago. and he was received because he
had written a book on the American
constitution which he desired to pre-
sent to Mr.. Roosevelt
The president has been especially
anxious to show courtesy to visiting
japanese, but 1t is certain he would
not have received Miyakawa II he
had known whom he represented
and the political movement he was
gathering. Miyakawa is not received
at the japanese embassy, and when
General Kuroki was in Washington
he made no effort to get in touch
with him.
Both Nations Want Truth Known.
There is no doubt that the govern
ments of both the United States and
Japan are concerned seriously over
the press agitation in connection
with the relations of the two coun-
tries and are anxious to stop the
publication of mischievous reports.
THE only effect of which is to infiame

SorrotOing Assembly ..-
 at Mrs. ScreUs's Burial.

Clayton, March 6.-(Special )--The funeral services of Mrs. NJ. J. Screws took place at the home of her daugh- ter. Mrs. J. N Williams, at 10 o'clock thIs morning.
 There was a large gathering of friends who loved and admired her. The services were conducted by Rev. MT Moody, pastor of the Methodist Church. His remarks were specially comforting and edifying, holding up her life and character as examples worthy of enunciation.
 He said that on the roll of member shin of his church her name stood first, having been longest connected with it--a full half century of life in this community. In the last conver- satton he had with her, she stated that she was "only waiting" and her life was such as to make 1t sure that there was no dread for her of the fu- ture.
 The afectionate regard in which this humble woman was held here cannot be measured by words. She had always the cheerful word, the bright smile and the helping hand. Her life was an inspiration for all who knew her,
 The beautiful floral tributes from friends here and in Montgomery testi- fled something of their tender regard. |.

The March issue of "Theworld of To- day. closes an article about him In this way:
 When he was twenty-four years of age Curtis was elected county attorney of Shawnee county. Topeka. the State capitol. and. Curtis's birthplace. the prohibitory amendment which had been adopted In Kansas some four years before. Curtis himself was the lawyer who had defended the saloon- meaning temperance man who preced- ed him as county attorney. His elec- ton caused much grief to the people who believed in the snfGrsee1t of law tis sent word to the saloonkeepers that they must quit business. The saloonmen were delighted at the ex- eellent witticism of their friend Char ley But in a few days another order came. This was carrying a joke too far. Curtis was rebuked for his pre- sumption.
 Its no use. boys" he said, You've force the law and I'm going to do it ," There were pleas. angry expostula- tions,S then open defiance. One month after the new county attorney took of flee there was not a saloon in Topeka, and a number of wealthy and more or less prominent citizens were in the county jail.
 Charles Curtis is one of the most consummate politicians that ever lived in Kansas. With a political acumen equal to that of Senator Chester I. Long. he has a hold upon the affec- tions of the people that gives him a strength immeasurabIy greater than any the other Kansas Senator can ever possess. During his fourteen years in Congress he has beaten down the most powerful political combinations ever formed in the State.
 Curtis is man blameless in pri- vate life. During all the campaign old aconaintance of the Senator, he has never tasted liguor or smoked a cigar. I have never heard him use an oath Such Is the character of the man who began his career on the box of night hack and in the silk jacket of a jockey.

A NOTABLE EXAMPLE !.

A striking instance of the opportu- mites opened for youth in this coun try if he has the courage and deter imitation to take advantage of them is shown in the case of Charles Cur tis, the new Senator from Kansas. Although only one-fourth Kaw Indian, he Is often alluded to by both friends and enemies as the Indian,' but that doesn't worry him any. He is for mally recognized by the tribe as a Kaw, and his color and general ap- pearance, as well as his persistence and determination, indicate the strain of blood inherited from his red am cestors. But for all that he is every inch an American. lie Will De the first man with any appreciable trace of Indian blood in him to occupy seat In the senate oI the unlted States.
 When Charley" as his friends con- tinue to call him, was a boy, he sold newspapers on the streets of Topeka rode races as a jockey, and did other duties to make a living and to aid him in obtaining an education. One day when still but boy he walked into a law office and applied for a place as office boy with the privilege of reading law at odd times. The law der tried to dissuade him, telling him that there were already more poor lawyers than could make a living But I don't intend to be poor lawyer. I want to be a good one" stoutly re- piled the boy. He got the place and in two years was admitted to the bar.
