A NATIONAL POLICY
CON BARTHOLDT FAVORS IT
FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
Makes an Address to Prominent eusl.
ness Men Favorlng the Policy Of
Issuing Bonds-WouId Spend Five
Hundred Million Dollars to Improve
Our Great Waterways.

Congressman Richard Bartholdt Of
St. Louis declared recently in an ad-
dress before business men. bankers
and large shippers of St. Louis for a
national policy Of issuing bonds for
international improvements, especial
ly waterways.
Since the civil war;" he said.

vided political parties has been bust.
ness question. We have q right to
conclude that the party Is most likely
to succeed which is most willing to
champion the cause of general vel.
fare by promoting the most important
business policy ever before the coun-
try. The chairman Of the committee
on appropriations. Congressman Taw.
ney, said in an interview at Chicago
the other day: international water
way improvements can not be expect
ed until our appropriations for the
army and navy are lessened or special
taxes are levied
III our government is to enter up
on a policy favoring systematic in
ternational improvements . regular
annual budget would be necessary for
that purpose, the same as for tho army
and navy. Perhaps we shall live to
see the day when that will be done
under a readjustment such as will no
longer permit our military and naval
budgets to expend two thirds Of our
revenues. For some years to come, I
am afraid such a readjustment will
be impracticable.
mo one will contend that 1t is any
thing but question Of money. We
may well ask whether the project to
secure navigable channels from the
lakes to the gulf. from the upper Mis-
sissippi, the Missouri, the Ohio and
the other rivers, shall wait until an
income tax or an inheritance tax shall
have yielded sufficient revenue to pay
for them. We would say no.
IAN issue of Of 8 per cent bonds
to the extent Of 100000 900 to be dis
tributed over a period Of say 10 years
will suffice to complete great river
projects and solve the problem of the
permanent improvement Of our great
waterways. 1t is my judgment that
it cannot be done in any other way,
and il the gentlemen here think we'll
of 1t l will introduce a bill to that
effect.
mo American has dreamed of OBJ
jecting to the Panama canal, though
this is an enterprise for the whole
world. Why, then, should there be
any objection to an undertaking
which is Of particular benefit to the
United States? AS matters stand the
chances for the great and important
projects are almost hopeless. and will
remain so as long as we must content
ourselves with the crumbs that fall
from the national table when the pie
is being distributed to the depart
ments."

II Makes an Attack on Policy Of
President Roosevelt on Japanese
Question In CaIifornia-Marked
Copies Sent to School Board-They
Issue a Statement.

San Francisco secret service
agents have had their attention called
to a paper published in Berkeley en-
titled Kakuemei, or "The Revolution"
issued by the japanese socialist revo-
lutionary party, containing an article
in which reference Is made to the
attitude Of President Roosevelt In the
school question. in which the follow
ing language is used:
1--WE believe that such . thing a.
tho triling legislature which the CAPT.
talist class may from time to time
fling to the workers will prove Of no
avail: that 1t is about as effective as
the tiny stream from . baby'j water
gun thrown into a raging fire. Our
policy is toward the overthrow Of the
mikado, king and president, as repre-
senting the capitalist class, as soon
as possible, and We do not hesitate as
to the means.
president Roosevelt in his mes
sage to congress censures the exclu-
sion of Japanese in California and
every nation appauded his action, par
ticularly our nation. The members
of the socialist revolutionary party
expected him to d. as he did for the
following reason:
Being aware of the industrial de-
velopment and economic determinism
and knowing we'll that his censures
can not affect the iterests Of the
capitalist class which he represents,
he had nothing to lose In appearing
to do the right thing by the Japanese
and thus satisfy his vanity by gain
ing the applause and approval Of all.
particularly our nation"
Marked copies Of the paper were
sent to members Of the board Of edu-
cation and by them turned over to
tho federal authorities.
The board of education, by Secre-
terry Leffipgwell. has issued state
ment regarding the matter. which
says in part:
III any proof were needed that the
Japanese are all undesirable people as
residents Of this country that proof
has been supplied by the editorial ex-
pressions Of this Japanese publica-
ton, the Revolution, which, by impli-
cation, advocates the humiliation of
the first citizen Of this land"
The paper was mailed in Berkeley
and is printed in both Japanese and
English.
The oficials denounce the publica-
ton in the stronG Jest terms.
1t was ascertained that the "Revo-
luton" is published in this city at
1917 Post street by a Japanese social
list named Shigeski Okla. The copy
containing the anarchistic editorial
bears the date of December 20 and
is the first number of the publication
that has been issued. Okla claims
that he does not know who wrote
the inflammatory article. He says
the headquarters of the Japanese
revolutionary party are located in
Berkeley and that the paper 10 pub
lished by him under arrangement
with the society.

Then we used the entire set of Cuticura Remedies and my wife is en- .irely recovered.

Must Pay For Furnishing Passes.

The State of Arkansas won its suits in the Pulaski Circuit Court against the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and obtained a judgment for $10,000. The cases were brought by Lewis Rhoton, as prosecuting attorney, 1t being charged the company violated the law by furnishing senators and representa- tives in the legislature of 1905 with free transportation. The Company filed demurers to the complaints and attacked the constitutionality of the act that makes it unlawful for railroad companies to furnish free transporta- tion to officers. The cases were argued before Judge E. w. Winfield. The State was represented by Prosecuting Attorney Rhoton and the railroad company by T. M. Mehaffy, general counsel. After the argument the court overruled the demurers and gave judgment in each of the five cases for the maximum penalty of $10,OOO. The money goes into the general fund of Pulaski county. Before judgment was announced the defendant elected to stand on the demurrer. The Arkansas constitution of 1874 provides that the legislature shall prohibit railroad com panies fro mfurnishing free transpor- tation to any legislative or judicial officer of the State. In 1887 the leg islature passed an act making It unlawful for a railroad company to fur nish free transportation to any such officer and fixed a maximum penalty of $2,0O0. The same legislature also made it a misdemeanor for any such officer to accept or use free railroad transportation and fixed the penalty at fine and removal from office.

FAMILY FOOD.
Crisp, Toothsome and Requires No

little boy down in N. c. asked his mother to write an account of how Grape-Nuts food had helped their fam fly.
 She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention on a visit to Charlotte, where she visited the Mayor of that city who was using the food by the advice of his physician. She -ays:
 They derive so much good from it that they never pass a day without using it. While was there I used the Food regularly. I gained about IS pounds and felt so well that when I re- turned home l began using Grape-Nuts in our family regularly.
 My little IS months old baby short. " after being weaned was very i'll With dyspepsia and teething. She was SICK nine weeks and We tried every thing. She became so emaciated that IL was painful to handle her and we thought we were going to lose her. ohe oay happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuts soaked in a little warm milk.
 well, 1t worked liko a charm and sho began taking it regularly and im- proVement set in at once. She is now getting we'll and round and fat as inst as possible on Grape-Nuts.
 sometime ago several of the family were stricken with LaGrippe at the same-tfme, and during the worst stages we could not relish anything in the shape of food but Grape Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseated ms
