THE RErGN OF MACHINERY.

To one who takes interest in such things, and is of an observant habit. the evolution of machinery is really one of the marvels of modern life. There are carpenters now, at work at the trade who can remember when hardly any of their work was done by machinery. The hands and the muscles had to do 1t all. and this is more notable in shop work. Then the man who made sash, doors and blinds thought himself fortunate if he had a mortising-machine ope- rated by hand to cut the mortices need- ed in his work Everything else in ths manufacture of these articles was per-
 formed by hand. as it had been done by the generations before him.
 It is widely different now. The man who builds a house does little more than put together the materials which have been prepared for him by the ma chimes. The weather-boarding the flooring, the ceiling and all the other lumber has been planed and matched ready for putting up; the sash, doors and blinds are bought from the shops, and so with almost the whole of the material which enters into the con- struction of a modern house. In the shop itself, there will be found a ma chine or machines to do every part of the work, and the workman has little to do except put together the material prepared by the iron and steel helpers, each of which can do the work of sev- eral men and do 1t with much more speed and precision.
 And so it is in practically every line of indoor work. There are some kinds of work which can only be done by skilled and trained human hands, which no machinery can perfom. but in the main the machine has superseded hand work, and that is the main reason why so many small objects can be sold for the merest trife. Take the ordinary match as an example. When box containing one thousand of them can be retailed for five cents. it shows us what the machine can do. If man were required to make enough matches by hand to fill one of these boxes, the price of matches would put them out of reach of anybody but the very rich. The machine does the work so that a person can buy a hundred of them for one cent, and that is fair Illustration of the work of machinery in small things.
 And so 1t goes through all the in dustries of life The sewing machine does the work of many human hands, and it is a modern invention. for one does not have to be very old to re- member when these machines first came into use, If we go iNto one of the large textile factories. we find the spin ming machines and the power looms doing the work. as we find machines doing the work in shops and mills. Practically there is no limit. A trsv cling American once told an English

uryusr ro rur yArs.

MT. William H. Langdon, District Alt torney of san Francisco is out in . severe denunciation of the Japanese, calling them "undesirable citizens" and asserting that if it comes to choice between the two people. the californ- ians would prefer the Chinese. The Japs," he declares. ''are tricky. dis honest and do not know their place"
 That is a serious indictment of the little brown men" Coming from San Francisco. it is almost amusing. In all our information and knowledge Of the Japanese. in their own country or any other, we have never heard of them be- ing guilty of such trickery. dishonesty. footing, grafting and general all- around rascality as is on record against the white people of san Francisco. We doubt if MT. Langdon can call out such evidences of offieial dishonesty in con- nection with the Japs in any place or at any time as the ofhcial records of his city show against the members of his own race. who have made of San Fran cisco reproach and shame to the people of the United States. We do not mean to imply or insinuate that he himself is in any wise to blame for the black page in the history of that city, but with the full Knowledge of what his own race has done right at his home, we think he should hesitate be- fore declaring. as he in effect has done, that the Japanese. as a people. are tricky and dishonest.
 But. he further tells us, they "do not know their place." So? As we have not learned that they intrude themselves into the social and home life of the San F'ranciscans. we are bound to believe that his animus against them has a different ground. Doubtless, they refuse to adopt or re- main in meniaI positions and occupa- tions, but insist on getting into the trades and other occupations of the city. If they become quiet and indus trious citizens. they have right to engage in any occupation for which they are fitted and which is open to other citizens of the State. Unless their own acts. disqualify them for trade. business or mechanics, there Is no justiffce in barring them.
 So much for the general and specific charges made by MT. Langdon against the Japanese as a people. At the same time, 1t is to be feafsd that over-im- migration from Japan and China may mean congestion and trouble fin the large cities. especially at or near the seaports. in the future. If tie Japan ese especially would disseminate them selves throughout the country and en- gage in agricultural and other indus trial pursuits, thus becoming part of the citizenship of the country at large, we can see no danger to be apprehend- ed, but they may overcrowd the cities and become source of trouble in the future. Still, we insist that MT. Lang don is not just or fair towards them as race In the main, they are indus trious, quiet and orderly, and do not deserve the bad name given them by the District Attorney.

The following from The New York Post calls attention to fact that is somewhat significant:
 With a certification from the Presf- dent fresh upon him.. 1t was little brusque of Judge Harlan, at the Ken lucky dinner last night. to kick over the Presidential theory of drawing out of the Constitution. as out of a jug gler's hat, any doctrine that happens to be fancied. The senior Justice of the Supreme Court affirmed that that high tribunal will never assent to the loose notions of "construing" the Constitu- Even Eve the u n most benevolent m lent of of % ovef- night reformers has got to recognize that some things are fixed beyond his upsetting. And. as Judge Harlan said with impressive eloduence. the written Constitution will remain as the great barrier against agitators so long as the Supreme Court abides by the an- cient ways. He did not refer, though he might have done so. to the signifi- cant decision of the Supreme Court last May. in the Kansas and Colorado sweeping denial of the proposition that a centralizing administration can get whatever 1t wants by "construction," Judge Harlan is a towering figure judicially as well as physically, and his ,weighty utterance last night fell with peculiar propriety from one whose old experience has enabled him to take the measure of ,off-hand innovators.
 The significance of this lies in the fact that some of the most severe and pointed criticisms of Roosevelt, even though they may have been couched in dignifed terms, have come from judges of high repute as constitutional lawyers. They are not ranting dem- agogues and mouthing politicians, but men of high legal rank who are quali- fled to know what they talk about. And it must be noted that these judges dwell on the Presidents usurpation of power and his rape of the Federal Con- stitution in so many instances during his term of office.
 These criticisms have quite a differ ent aspect from those made by news papers or public speakers. The editor or the speaker may be governed by mo- tives of policy or even of revenge for real or fancied injuries, but men like Justice Harlan evidently speak from a sense of public duty when they point out that a President of the United States cannot be safely trusted to ob- serve the Constitution and laws of the country. We have indeed fallen on evil times when the highest judicial officers of the land feel it their duty to publicly show up the faults of a President.

 then make machine to make the oth CT
 machines.
 He was just about correct, as all of us know. if we have been observant. for all kinds of labor saving machines are, manufactures by machines spe- ciaiiy adapted to the purpose. From the making of pin up to the manu- facture of steam engine, machinery plays such an important part that we are led to wonder how the people of even century ago managed to do all the work they did. The spirit of ma chinery has invaded the composing room of the printing office. as 1t has invaded all other departments of hu- man industry. and no one may fix a limit beyond which it can go. We cannot draw a line and say to this never-restins spirit: Thus far shalt thou go. and no farther" for the in- ventive and progressive, spirit of man apparently has no limitations in it's forward and upward movement. It is not beyond the bounds of reason to say that those who live a century hence may wonder how we got along with what will seem to them lack of. ma chinery. Nevertheless, when We com pare the present with the past, we can safely call this the age of machinery.
