whether any commissioner shall be
put out.
There are no star chamber sessions.
On the contrary, the public is cordial
ly invited to attend all meetings of
the commission. and every citizen is
/ given frequent opportunities to pre-
sent ideas or grievances.
The commissioners are personally
responsible for the administration of
the city, and they name the execu-
tive officers under them, such as po-
lice judge, city clerk, city attorney,
city treasurer and city assessor and
auditor. Salaries are paid commensu-
rate with the amount of time given.
The results of the new plan have
been uniformly satisfactory. Calves
to is a greater n more prosperous
city than she was before the big
storm. Taxes have gone down. Gang
rule has been abolished. Bossism has
been buried so deep that it will ap-
parently never enjoy a resurrection.
The political life of the municipality
has been purified. 1t is no longer a
reproach that a man should act his
part in the political management of
his own town. The thugs and crooks
of the city hall have e routed. The
warrant system has given way to the
cash system. h perquisites belong
to Il people.
And Galveston has this year re
elected her board of the past six years

T4FT"S OHIO STRENGTH.
State Solid for Him, Says President
Thompson.
From The Tribune Bureau

Washington Nov. 16-President NJ O. Thomp-
son. of the Ohio State University, who arrived
here tonight, says he is convinced that Secre-
tary Taft will have practically no opposition
when the Ohio delegates to the Republican Ma
tional Convention chosen.
Mr. Taft will be put forward as one of the
best products of our state" said Mr.. Thomp-
son. He has convinced the people that he is
capable of doing them great honor in every
capacity, and it has been strongly brought home
to them that they must let nothing interfere
with a powerful demonstration of their appre-
citation He has been so digniied and manly
about his candidacy that his boom is increas
ing every day. and every Ohioan seems 10 con
slider 1t his duty TO speak loudly for Mr.. Taft
without the borders of state. There is a
great deal more talk of Ohio's opposition to Mr..
Taft in outside papers than there is in those of
Ohio, and this gives erroneous impression
Mr.. Taft is the candidate Of the people Of Ohio,
and if a primary were held now that fact would
he made evident beyond doubt. We are all con-
fdent that he will shortly be I'm the White
House"
Despite some talk to the contrary. there is
no doubt that Secretary Taft will have the unan-
imous support of the Ohio delegation in the next
Republican convention" declared Harry Daugh-
erty, of Columbus one Of the stauch supporters
of Secretary Taft to- day.
He is just 3 strong in the state to-day as
he was few months ago, II not stronger" con-
tinued Mr. Daugherty THE people of Ohio
look upon him the greatest man in the state
and the logical man to carry out the policies ad-
vocated by President Roosevelt; yet he is no
mans man. and viii, if elected President, exert
his strong individuality It is generally be-
lieved that Senator Foraker is fighting him in
order TO remain in the Senate another term, and
not with any idea of securing the nomination for
the Presidency himself Senator Foraker Is a
great man, but doubt whether he will succeed
IN defeating Taft"
Did the defeat OF Representative Burton for
the mayoralty of Cleveland have any dampen-
Ing effect on the Taft candidacy"
Not a bit: that an entirely local affair."
and had nothing to do with the national situa-
ton Mr.. Burton will not be harmed in the
slightest way, far as his public career is
concerned, by his defeat. The defeat has had
nothing 10 do with the Taft situation IN Ohio"
Are the Taft people anxious that the con-
Vention shall be held in Kansas City2'
81 think not. ] know Of no reason why that
would harm or help his candidacy. Personally
I am inclined to favor Chicago as the next
ties, by all odds. The hotels are within radius
Of a few blocks, and are equipped to for
the delegates. who Will be men who can afford
to have and Will therefore desire. the best ac-
commodations. Wherever the convention is held
it VIII not be a walkover for the nominee even
though Secretary Taft should be that nominee.
1t will be Of the most interesting conven-
tons ever held by the Republican party"

THE ELKINS Law ATTACKED.
Called Unconstitutional by Attorney at Hear.
ing on Standard Oil Demurrer.

Buffalo, Nov. 16-At the hearing before Judge
Hazel, in the United States Court to-day on the
demurrer raised by the Standard oil Company
to the indictments reported against it by the
grand jury, at jamestown, last summer charg-
ing the concern with accepting rebates on oil
shipments made from Olean to points In Yer
mont. J. Mccormick Mitchell, attorney for the
defendant, attacked the consttutionality of the
Elkins law.
Mr. Mitchell asserted that the power given
Congress to regulate commerce did not include
the power to fix rates. and argued that the
power to punish common carrier for transport
ing goods at a rate lower than the published
schedules a rate regulating power exercised
by Congress. Mr.. Mitchell contended that the
law was defective and invalid in that it did not
provide that a shipper should have some remedy
if. although he paid rate lower than the sched-
ued tariff, it could be shown that the scheduled
rate was unreasonabIy high-a schedule rate
which the shipper had no part in making.
Mr.. Mitchell raised the question of INSULT
cheney of the allegation of fact in the indict-
ments to show violations of the offence charged
and also raised the question of jurisdiction.
S. Wallace Dempsey. special attorney for the
United States, answered for the government
Judge Hazel reserved decision.

JAPANESE EMIGRATION.
RESTRICTIONS At TOXIC,
Opposition Making Actice Cam
-Canada's attitude.

Toxic Nov. 16.-The Foreign Office has in
formed the emigration companies that 406 Jap
auese will be allowed to enter Hawaii during
,bis month and December. It is understood that
the government intends to exercise a close SUI
,ervision over those going as students to Sar
francisco. There is reason to believe that con-
siderable fraud has been practised by register
,ng Iaborers students, and that this has
escaped the scrutiny of the emigration inspec-
tors.
Mr. O'Brien the American Ambassador has
had a conference on this subject with Count
Havashi Minister of Foreign Affairs, who has
issued most stringent instructions to the inspeC-
tors and il is understood that further restric-
tions are under Amusement. The Japanese gov
eminent is said to be considering the advisabiity
Of shutting off all emigration to the United
States and to Canada for the present the
ground that economic conditions render it in
advisable for citizens of Japan to visit foreign
countries unless they able to show that
they are amply self-supporting.
Among political leaders and business men the
Importance of the approaching session Of the
American Congress and the possibility of the in
PRODUCTION of special measures to restrict immi-
grafton are fully realized. The opinion here is
that such legislation is not likely to be enacted
but the fact OF it's introduction and the inevi-
table debates on the subject it is thought, are
likely to increase the difficulties Of the govern
rnent in adjusting the situation by arousing the
Chauvinists on account of discrimination against
Japan which is affording ammunition for an in
creasingly active opposition, in view of the gen.
crai election in 1908.
AS an instance of the methods employed to
raise the issue IN behalf of the opposition. the
'Hochi," organ of that party and supposed
10 represent the views Of Count Okuma- will
tomorrow contain an editorial entitled THE
Deception Practised by Diplomats in which II
gives as an example the speech of Secretary
Taft at the recent municipal dinner in Toxic.
The paper says that this was nothing except a
piece Of deception by which the Secretary
sought to place himself in the most favorable
light
The "FIochi' appeals to the japanese govern
r1ent TO deal frankly with the people. 1t insists
that the administration is tamely yielding to
foreign powers while at the same time cleverly
hiding the facts from the public of Japan. The
Minister Lenieux affords the best opportunity
Of solving the immigration question once for all.
# il is frankly handled. Mr. Lemeux has es-
tablished an office at the British embassy, and
is in frequent conference with officials of the
Foreign Office. He expects n favorable out
come of his mission, saying to-day:
81 am not proposing any change in the exist
ing treaty, but desire TO reach an agreement
with friendly nation looking to the adoption of
q programme for the future which will be bene-
fetal TO both countries concerned.
