The National tribune., 1907-09-19

Assistant Secretary Edwards. of the
Treasury Department. returned to the
jamestown Exposition last week. max
ing his second trip: Some time ago 1t
was given out that Mr.. Edwards had
gone on his vacation, when. as mat
ter of fact, his objective point was the
Exposition. 1t developed that Mr.. Ed
wards was on the grounds and in daily
conference with the Board of Directors
endeavoring TO arrange some plan by
which the Government could collect the
$1,o00,000 loan authorized by Congress
and secured by a lien on the gate re-
ceipts. Two payments on this loan are
now past due. and the object of Mr..
Edwards's trip is to make further
effort to obtain the money.
The jamestown Exposition seems to
be running a social-political campaign
just now. AS a matter of fact tie So
ciety end of it has been uppermost most
and feuds have been engendered than
will be calmed in the next 400 years.
There have been a number of social
directors and they all seem to have
had troubles and more troubles. 1t
would be difficult matter to give a
dinner party down there just now, for
thered be dead sure to be gun play
before the walnuts and wine are reach
ed. The very, very latest is that Pres
ident" Tucker intends that the EXPOSE
ton shall make him Gov" Tucker.
and Gov. Swanson and some others
can't see it that way.
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette, of Wisconsin, had a tilt with
County Superintendent of Schools Sam
uel Hamilton at Pittsburg lass week.
when the Senator on special invitation
arose to address the Allegheny County
School Teachers Association at Car
negie Institute.
The Senator said he had been warned
not to discuss party politics. bat an
nouncedi that he would say what he
pleased. Hamilton. who introduced the
Senator, arose and insisted that poll
tics be eliminated. After an exchange
of warm words the Senator began his
address on representative Government.
Later Hamilton Interrupted La Fol-
lette while he was telling how the
Pennsylvania Senators voted against his
amendment to the rate bill. and told
the Senator he must stop. The audi
ence, who was with him, insisted he
should continue, and the Senator an
nounced that he would finish his ad-
dress in the street if anyone cared to
hear him.
Fully 1900 people followed the Sem
ator to the steps of Carnegie Institute,
where he continued his address for over
an hour. He was repeatedly cheereu,
and was urged to give a fuller account
of the votes of the Pennsylvania Sem
ators.
1.-The statement Of Gov. Carter, made
while in the United States, that there
is no bitterness of feeling against the
japanese in the Hawaiian Islands. is
not true" declared johnson Il Wilkins,
planter, who went out from Louisi-
ana seven years ago and now resides
In Honolulu, but who is sojourning in
Washington for a visit.
The truth Is" continued Mr.. Will
kins, that many thousands of Japan
ese have been coming to the islands
during the past year or two with the
single idea of gaining final admittance
into the United States, where their op-
portunities for advancement are much
greater than they can possibly be eth
er in Japan or Hawaii. They secure
work of various sorts as laborers on
the sugar plantations and as domestic
servants. For a long time Americans
who live in the islands looked upon
this migration as plan of the Japan
ese Government to put enough men
there to overthrow American control
in the event of war between Japan and
the United States. Stories went the
FOuHuS Oh JAPANESE GrlIiinS at n1Snt
All this enhanced feeling of antipathy
toward the japanese which is racial,
and always prevails when the white
and yellow races are thrown directly
into competition. My own opinion is
that Japan's intentions were entirely
peaceful and that the migration was
by the desire of the japanese to
get into the United States eventually.
However. many people over there dis
agree with me-
Queen ILL.," SO to speak, is to be
some more. She was married
once, and has had numerous "affaires,"
as the French say. but now she is go
ing to marry an old love of her youth.
She is old and ugly and fat; she has
lost most of her fortune, and all of
her queenly honors. but Prince Ari Pal,
of Tahiti, is going TO marry her for
pure love. He has a lot of money. and
Queen Lii loves money. The fact that
he is old and weighs 300 pounds does
not weigh in the balance against his
money-and the early love.
Old Calculator is at it again The
habit clings to him, no matter whether
in office or out of it. He is way over
in Lunnon Town now, but he still
dreams of American politics. 1T is too
far off yet to speak of the prospects for
the next Presidential campaign, but If
l were forced to pick a winner now /
would say Taft" said Gen. Charles J.
Grosvenor, of Ohio, in an interview
on Presidential possibilities in Ameri-
ca. II believe If Roosevelt openly de-
clares in favor of Taft, nothing could
prevent him being President"
An order has been issued by the
Postmaster-General to all Postmasters

ton of Post-Ofiice employees to the fact
that they are expected to do all in their
power te further the interests of the

ders and the registering of letters. The

the Department that certain Postmas-
ters and employees have spoken dispar-
aginsly Of the registry and money-order

this Department. 1t is hereby enjoined
upon Postmasters and Post O lice en-
ployes to encourage the use of the
and registry systems Dis
regard of this order or any disparage-
ment of the registry or money-order
systems whether by making unfavor-
