The cordial and friendly feelings Of the
immense majority Of. the American peo-
pie toward Japan are well understood IN
the capital Of the empire. and they have
there too. proper appreciation Of the
significance Of the localized prejudice in
San Francisco. They DO not construe
1t as an evidence that all Americans
dislike all japanese. any more than we
charged against japan similar un-
friendiiness when Mr. Harrimans hat

The President and Profanity.

Since persons familiar with President
Roosevelts literary works have called
attention 10 the circumstance that IN hts
book, The Rough Riders" he speaks
quite casually Of swearing az some Of
bis men, II appears that comments on
his occasional use Of "cuss words" may
be made with perfect pr0priety. Al
though Carroll d Wright declared that
BY George was the strongest express
sion Mr.. Roosevelt ever employed. those
who are frequently brought into contact
with the President know that when the
occasion seems 10 demand gingery lam
guage, he Is there with the goods. as the
slang expression Of the day has il. He is
not an habitual swearer. but he is.
nevertheless. quite familiar with the "cuss
words which form a part Of the vocabu-
larry OF the average man. and he does not
hesitate 20 use them, in private conyer-
sations, II the degree Of positiyeuess and
vigor he desires cannot be indicated
otherwise Aside possibly, from the
period during which he was In command
of the Rough Riders, the most striking
Illustration q the Presidents ability IN
this line was on the occasion Of the sc-
cident al Pittsfeld, Mass, in which Sc
cret Service Operative Craig lost his life
The mot0rman 0f the car which dashed
into the Presidential carriage with that
fatal result was made the object of a
tongue-lashiug. which he never will for

II is matter for qualification that the
authorities at Washington are stiffening
their backbone and giving at least mega
tive intimatlon that the hand Of this

is to be hoped that they are also taking
active steps toward the instant massing
OF ships at Manila and the increase of
the navy by the purchase of the war

tries as well as some others. would
gladly dispose Of TO the United States.

JACKSON AND MUTINEERS.

While Gen. Jackson was conducting
his campaign against the Creeks IN
Alabama the privations and hardshlps
the raw levies had to endure were
too much for a company of Tennes-
seeans. They mutinied, declared their
intention of returning home and SET
out. every man with his arms. The
General lay on sick bed in his tent,
but hearing of the revolt sprang up
dressed. ordered his horse, and pick
ing up the first gun in his way start
ed on a gallop alone after the dls-
affected ones. Overtaking and pass
ing them, he wheeled his horse and
presenting his gun as he swept the
line with his stern and fiery glance,
he shouted: "Back to your duty! Pll

and dined and sang and ioked as Irish
men have been wont TO do from time
immemorial, and many time Wash
ington was present at their festivi-
ties. On December II. 1871. Gneeral
Washington was unanimously adopt
ed a member of the society," and
not only did he accept the preferred
honor. but also an invitation to din
ner, at which were the bravest and
most distinguished Generals OF the
allied armies of France and America.
The side which the society took in
the Revolutionary war was early I'M
mistakably indicated by their pro-
ceedings at a meeting on December
II. 1775. when one Thomas Bott was
by unanimous vote expelled from
the society for taking an active part
against the liberties of America. The
devotion of the members of the So
ciety to the cause of American liberty
was acknowledged by Washington
himself i'm a letter to the President
of the society in which he described
the society as distinguished for
the firm adherence of it's members
to the glorious cause in which we are
embarked" Stephen Moylan, the
first President of the society, ma
tive of the south of Ireland and
brother to the Catholic Bishop Of
Cork, was distinguished by the con-
fidence of Washington and rose to
the rank of Brigadier General of cav
airy. Col. Richard Butler, member,
became Major General in the United
States army and was killed by an
Indian at St. Clair's defeat in 1871.
The Friendly Sons of st. Patrick
not only distinguished themselves as
soldiers but they rendered other not
less useful services. At time when
everything depended on the vigorous
prosecution of the war it was found
almost impossible to arouse the pub
lie spirit of the Americans. In this
emergency the plan of the Bank Of
Pennsylvania, established for supply
ing the army of the United States
with provisions for two months, was
conceived and carried into execution.
Ninety-three individuals and firms
subscribed and the amount realized
was 100000. OF this, twenty-seven
members of the Friendly Sons of ST.
Patrick subscribed SlO3,5OO. ROBERT
Morris. the great financier of the
Revolution, was a member of the s.
ciety.
Among the French troops which
came to the aid of the American
cause was the Irish regiment of
Count Arthur Dillon, which had won
renown on many European battle
f;a1ds Among the siPners of the
Declaration Of independence were no
fewer than nine men of Irish birth
or Irish descent.
In the original settlement of this
country and in its struggle for mae
pendence Irish-Americans played
leading part and no portion OF the
American people have better GROUND
for pride in the history of the United
States of America than the Irish
Americans of today.

Hon. Martin Y. Cabin.

The best picture that The Cotton Journal
has presented to its admirers is that of the
present Director of Georgia's Experiment Sta
ton. Mr.. Calvin's honest features look we'll
anywhere; and even if his face were not sufi-
cient to satisfy any reasonable door-keeper, his
whiskers would take him through.
Friend Martin is now standing on the after
noon slope of the Great Divide, even as | am;
and there is, in his latest picture, a faint sug
gestion that new hair does not come forth on
the top of his head as fast as it drops out-and
even those irresistible whskers are not quite
up to the mark which they made when he and
| got together and invented the Georgia Leg
isature. That was when we were young and
needless. We would hesitate before doing
anything like that again.
But age will never take from Martin the
earnest honest, manly look which he has worn
all his life, nor lose him the affecionate esteem
of those friends who have known him so long.
And among these friends who have always
had liking for Martin V. Calvin, | take my
place-with a feeling of chastened regret for

One GObeyn0Y Who ISM Afraid.

Hurrah for Governor Glenn, of North Caro-
lima!
The brave stand which he has taken against
the Wall Street corporations and their Fed
eral Judge gives one thrill of pleasure
In this age of cowardly and corrupt poll
tics, it is positively exhiarating to find gov
ernor of a Southern state who has clear head
on his shoulders, hands whose palms don't
itch, and soul that knows no fear.
It is high time that we were learning who
is to rule the land-the people, or the corpor-
alton lawyers.
1t is not question of Legislative or judi
cial authority-not at all.
Any Federal Judge who will try to do what
Pritchard is trying to do, does not deserve to
be treated with the respect due to just, hon
est, impartial Judge: he is mere corporation
lawyer sitting on the bench, and he should be
treated as such.
The dogma set up by these so-called Judges,
that no law is valid which, in their opinion as
prophets, WILL deprive the railroads of net
earnings, because it confscates the entire prop
erty, is too foolish for serious consideration.
Every man of common sense KNOWS that
THAT IS NOT THE LAW.
When corporation henchmen, sitting as
Judges, attempt to impose that kind of rot
upon a sovereign state, THE GOVERNOR
DOES RIGHT TO DEFY THE JUDGE.
| hope Governor Glenn will not yield an
inch Of ground I hope that he will develop
the same Roman courage shown by Governor
George M, Troup of Georgia, when that fear
less official ignored the United States Supreme
Court, defed the United States Government,
gave General Gaines, of the United States
Army, to understand that he would be ar
rested if he "butted in" and thus triumphant
ly carried his point.

What Is COntiscation ?

What Is COntiscation
Under the old Saxon law, the individual
freeman had succeeded in establishing the
principle that his feudal lord could not arbi-
trarily seize and take away his land or his
chattels To establish himself in the enjoy
ment of this right, the freeman had to strug-
gle long and bravely. The feudal lord had en-
croached upon his vassas until it had become
almost impossible for the vassal to hold prop
erty independent of his over-1ord The mas
ter being the stronger knew no law but his
will, and he did not hesitate to deprive the
vassal of his land or his chattels whenever he
pleased.
In the course of time, however, that incon-
querable craving for Individual liberty which
distinguished the great Teutonic people from
almost every other European stock, overcame
the tyranny of the Feudal lord, and established
the right of the freeman to his property. The
lord could not oust him from his land or rob
him of his chattels Just as the lord held his
property until deprived Of it by due process of
law, SO did the vassal.
Such was Anglo-Saxon right, at the time of
the Norman invasion. With the coming of
William the Conqueror, came the elaboration
and the tightening of the chains of the Feudal
System. The lords became more tyrannical
and the vassals more helpless. The old abuses
returned. The old rights and liberties were
lost. Years of lawlessness, bloodshed, and op-
preston followed. No vassal was secure in
life limb, liberty, or property. The King
often pillaged the mobiles, and the mobiles al
ways pillaged the people. From bad to worse
the Kingdom went until, in the reign of
Stephen, anarchy prevailed. Norman sons of
royal sires had waged war upon their fathers {;
and royal brothers who had united to fight
their father divided to fight one another.
Feuds in the royal family split up the mobiles,
and thus the feudal aristocracy waged war on
itself Such fierce hatreds, such savage con-
hicts, such cruelties, such slaughter and such
waste, such judicial murders and greedy con-
hscations of estates, this wicked world has
seldom seen.
Finally all classes realized that all were
doomed, unless change was had and that
change had it's beginning when the rebel
Barons forced King John to sign the Great
Charter at Runnymede.
This historical document was little more
than Restitution of Anglo-Saxon liberties.
1t put the citizen where he stood before the
Norman Conquest. The strong arm of the
lord could no longer strip the weaker man Of
land and chattels The state, speaking through
the law Of the land, could still take away life,
liberty and property: but the feudal lord could
not himself arbitrarily do it, as he had been
doing it.
Such is the meaning of that famous clause
Watson's weekly Jeffersonian., 1907-08-01

From Magma Charta, the clause travelled on
down to the present day, and is incorporated in
the Bill of Rights of the United States, and of
the several states.
Now, when you understand these historical
facts, do you not see how absurd is the conten-
ton of those railroad judges, lawyers and
presidents who claim that the Great Charter
entities them to net prohts2
In substance, that is just what they do
claim. And they have actually succeeded in
imposing that preposterous doctrine upon the
country. The editors have swallowed this
corporation bug as though it were a natural
part of the buttermilk. Even those lawyers
who have been employed to represent the
state laws which the railroads are fighting
take this corporation dead fly as a necessary
part of the ointment.
Thus given another proof of the
truth of Aaron Burr's contemptuous definition
of the Law:
"The law is that which is impudently as
serted and stubbornly maintained"
The railroads say that any law which the
Judge thinks will deprive them of net profits
upon their stocl-watered stock and all-con-
hscates their engines, cars, depots, warehouses;
steel rails, Bridges right of way, crossties, wa
ter tanks and passenger stations.
corporation lawyer, who happens to be
holding a ppositon as Judge may decide that
this monstrous contention of the railroads is
founded on the Great Charter; but no honest
well-informed, and impartial Judge will ever
so decide
statute depriving a corporation of net
profits may be TN just, as many other statutes
are unjust; but no statute is CONFISCATO-
RY of the land and chattels of corporation
UNLESS 1T DEPRIVES THE CORPORA
TION OF THOSE LANDS AND CHAT
Tells.
You do not confscate my horse until you
take him away from me-destroying my title.
1t may be wrong for you to pass laws which
prevent me from making net profit out of the
work of the horse, but that is not conhSca-
ton of the horse.
The u. S. Government by its Tariff laws,
has made it impossible for the agricultural
classes to earn net profits out of their farms.
The official statistics prove this But the farms
are not confscated.
If every state in the Union should make
laws which deprive the railroads of net profits
for thirty years, these railroads would be put
where the U. S. Government put the farmers
just after the Civil war. For more than thirty
years the diabolcal Protective policy has
robbed the farmers of net profits; but they
have not pleaded that their farms were confis-
Gated. The farm is one thing-NET PROF
ITS ANOTHER.
The Great Charter and the Bill of Rights
guarantee the farm; BUT THERE IS NO
GUARANTEE OF NET PROFITS
Why should the railroads try to set up a
doctrine which puts them on holy ground?
Their investment is not more sacred than
that of the merchant or the farmer and the
