TRUTHS

1t is understood the United States
Senate will make special appro-
priation of $4,000 to partly reim-
burse Senator Smoot for the ex-
pcnses he was obliged to incur in
defending his seat in the senate. We
think the Tribune should foot the
bill The losers generally have to
pay costs.
So the Americans" are going to
have pow WOW i'll the Salt Lake
Theatre, March 9TH, to size up the
situation with especial reference to
the verdict in the Smoot case and to
find out where they are at.
The legislative committee appointed
to investigate the official acts of
Clerk Anderson of the State Land
board may, and it is stated that it is
the intention, to give the inquiry a
wide range, to include the entire
board past and present. The proceed
ing suggests the idea of trying to
strike somebody over the head of Mr.,
Anderson.

pire Indeed, Japan seems already to
have done something toward check
ing the eastward tide of emigration,
or rather toward stopping it short
of the American mainland, by issuing
passports to Hawaii only. But it is
complained on the coast that thou
sands of the emigrants, having OBJ
tanned governmental permission to go
to Hawaii, abuse it by making Homo
lulu mere stopping-place on the way
to California and Oregon"
The following statements made by
the Springfield Republican show how
careful our government is to spare
Japan's sensiblities: ..
The power to exclude Japanese
coolies from this country by legis
lation may be said to reside in Con-
grc,s even under a specific treaty
recognition of that power by Japan.
For the late Secretary Gresham, in
framing the treaty of 1894 evidently
his most important diplomatic labor
secured the insertion. of the clause
providing that the stipulaticns of ar
ticles l and 2, regarding rights OF
travel, residence, trade, and so on,
should not in any way affect the
laws, ordinances, and regulations
with regard to the immigra-
ton of laborers which are in
force or which may hereafter be en-
acted in either of the two countries.
But the Roosevelt administration has
evidently preferred not to legislate
directly against the laborers of any
particular country, for obvious rea-
sons bearing upon the national pride
OF the nation thus Disseminated
against"
The Chicago Chronicle is moved
by the compromise to the following
outburst of eloquent pity over the LOT
of San Francisco
Unhappy San Francisco! the feed,
ing-ground of politicians who are per,
fcctly willing to suspend or rescind
the order prohibiting the admission
of Japanese to the primary school:
in exchange for guaranty thai
coolies will be excluded And these
are the men who have been vociferat
ing that the Japanese school children
menaced the health and the morals
of the white children and would neve

Perfectly frank, brazenly sordid
willing to compromise their unalter

demagogic political asset-these ar
the men who rule San Francisco.

THE PRESIDENTS BARGAIN
WITH SAN FRANCISCO.

Japan, the Literary Digest says, has
blcn dissolved by Il compromise
which, it is believed. will make ali
parties happy until new II eaty can
BE negotiated. Mayor Scllmitz and
Lis associates, after a series of con-
ierences at the White House, agree
to meet Japan's wishes in regard to
Japanese children and the public
schools il Japanese coolie laborers
are excluded from the Pacific Coast,
and Secretary Root has found way
to bring about this exclusion by an
ingenious amendment to the Immi-
grafton Bill. The amendment reads
as follows:
That whenever the President shall
be satisfied that passports issued by
any foreign government to its citizens
to go to any country other than the
United States, or to any insuar pos
session of the United States, or to
the Canal Zone arc being used for
the purpose OF enabling the holders
to come to the continental territory
OF the United States to the dctrimcnt
of labor conditions therein, the
President may refuse to permit such
citizens of the country issuing such
passports to enter the continental
territory of the United States from
f,A,,, c,,c1, ~,
sular possessions or from the Canal
Zone
As there is nothing in this amend
ment to exclude foreign laborers
should they come with passports to
this country it is clear that its eff
fcctivcness depends upon the theory
that Japan does not want her labor
crs to come here. 1t will be noticed,
also, that Japan is not mentioned i'll
the amendment, which can be applied
equally in the case of all foreign coun-
tries. The situation is further eX-
planned by the Brooklyn Eagle:
The Japanese Government regu-
lates emigration by passport. That
is, it issues permission i'll writing to
such of its citizens as desire to take
up their residence abr DAD 1t will not
grant permission to emigrate to The
laboring classes who may wish tc
come to the home territory of thu
United States, tho il will not with
hold passports from members o
those classes who wish to cmigrat

Philippines, or to Porto Rico. 1t viii
differentiate thus, because it is awar
that conditions in the colonial pos
sessions of the United States are no
so alluring that they will affect tn

will, of necessity, be admitted to the
ports here on the same basis as cor

tries or upon the same basis as stu

There is some murmuring i'll Cali
fornia, it is said, because the solution
arrived at leaves it to the President
to determine whether coolies shall be
prohibited from entering the United
States, and does not make it binding
on him to do so. The readiness of
the delegation TO retreat from their
stand on the public school question
convinccs the Eastern press that tie
cutlery against Japanese children in
the San Francisco schools was not
ingenious, but was merely, as the
Pittsburg Dispatch puts it, "a pretty
political agitation for local purposes"
I he hand of the labor unions is seen
behind the whole situation. Says
The Dispatch:
This compromise should not pre-
vent the test cases from being. prcst

Importance than this one incident.
1t will be well to have the rights of
state and nation authoritatively de-
fined by the highest courts, so we
may know what we are doing when
we enter upon a treaty.

Our reply was: Ok. If you

for you people to say when and
then furnish the stock. All that
is necessary is for you to select
one of your prominent men for a

will work with him and success
will crown the sales. But you
