THE LAPS IN CALIFORNIA

It is not clear that the San Francisco police commission, in denying the appll- cations of certain Japanese for permits to keep employment agencies, acted out side of its authority or in violation of any treaty rights enjoyed by the Japan csc. The board stated that it's policy had been to grant these privileges to citizens only, and it denied that any rights held by the Japanese under the treaty had been violated in the refusal to grant permission to keep employment agencies.
 In the school controversy the Califor- mia authorities claimed to be exercising authority under the police power of the state, which could not be infringed by the United States in making treaty. The point was not determined by the courts, all suits being dropped when the president and Mayor Schmitz concluded their modus vivendi. The action now taken by the police commission is doubt less based upon the same assertion of authority under the state police power, and it may afford an opportunity to test the strength of this power when antag- onized by treaty.
 It must not be forgotten, however, that the Japanese resident in the United States enjoyI only such rights as arc specifically g'anted by treaty. They dc not have all the privileges granted tC subjects of the most favored nation but only such as are specified. In what soever relates 70 rights of residence and travel, the pos Iession of goods, the sue cession to personal property and tho disposal of prCperty, taxation and treat ment in matt, IFS of commerce and navi gation, the Japanese have the sam' rights in the United States as the sub iects of the most favored nation. Tn California claim iA that Japanese enjo, the right to trade md to hold and dis pose of property, bu' cannot enjoy priv ileges in which citizenship or the righ of citizenship is involved. The Japan csc will doubtless set up the claim tia the keeping of employment offices one of their rights of trade. The treaty however, may be narrowly construed b the courts in this respect. It does no grant broad, indefinite "right t trade,'' but it specifically restricts trad to "all kinds of produce, manufacture and merchandise of lawful commerce. There is reason to doubt, therefor, that the Japanese have any treat rights in the matter of employmen agencies which could stand against tn

right of a state to exclude aliens from the enjoyment of such privileges
 The latest action of the Califormans is. of course, discrimination against the Japanese, however skillfully it may be done, and as such it is to be depioreo' But facts are more stubborn than the ories. and racial antipathy is stronger than the obligations of international eomity. California does not want the Japanese, and is trying to make hey de- termination known with as little ofiense as possible. It is little odd that people so sensitive as the Japanese should be so slow in taking the hint. There can be no trouble between the two countries, if the Japanese do not force themselves upon the Americans.

sTEELMAKERs TO USE GAS
Abandoning of Coal as Fuel Will Les
 sen Cost of Production

That the cost of the production of million of dollars is to be spent in new machinery for the plants of the United States Steel corporation and al- most a hundred engines are to be rele gated practically to the scrap heap. This step will probably take two or three years to complete, but it is as sured by the experiments that have been carried on at the Edgar Thompson plant of the corporation at Braddock, Pa., where the experiments have been along the lines of abolishing coal in favor of gas as fuel and using the gas that blows from the blast furnaces.
 The two engines used in the expert ments at the Edgar Thompson plant, which represent an investment of $300,- 900, are employed in the "blowing" of single 500-ton furnace. A riveted steel pipe 10 inches in diameter of which this system is built is a large factor in the expense. A complicated arrangement for cleaning the gas also adds to the great outlay necessary for these Improvements.
 The experiments at the Edgar Thomp- son plant, it is said, have determined the policy of the steel corporation, for all it's works and gas enginess will be immediately installed as fast as they can be built at all the plants. At Gary Ind, where new plant is being built twenty or more of new type of engine will be installed to furnish power and to "blow" the furnaces Washington Post.

LINcoLN's HUMoR
His Funny Stories Usually Proved
 Point or Answered an Objection

Lincoln s stories were never long, but they were always funny and laughter provoking, and usually effective in their purpose of proving a point or answer ing an objection. There were homeiy and old fashioned, which terms well ex- press their general character. This IS only natural and to be expected, in view of his rude surroundings in early life, before the telegraph had done more than thread its slender way through the forests and over the prairies of our broad land, bringing in its later de- velopment the current news of the world for the enlightenment of the masses, and calling for attention with each sue cessive edition of the daily press. In those almost primitive days of our na- tion s history, the postofliee, the country store and tbe courthouse were the ren- dezvous. especially of the young men who, ten or twenty years later, would be the leaders of public opinion; and around the blazing fire in these places of resort during the winter days and nights. or on the street or sidewalk close | by in the summer time, were congre- gated the takers, listeners of the town, and the man who could hold his own in argument, or command the attention of the crowd, whether politics, religion or gossip was the topic of discussion, was the one most ready with story
 to illustrate a point or parallel some
 other story that had just commanded
 a general laugh. In these trials of wit
 and humor, Lincoln, from all accounts,
 must have been at. the head of his class and the habits thus formed held their grip upon him even to the end; for Tn
 his last public address, on the evening
 of April II, 1865, which he delivered
 from the porch of the White House, and
 which had the pleasure of listening to
 on my way home from the war depart ment, he made this remark concerning
 the progress of reconstruction measures
 in Louisiana:
 "Coneede that the new government of Louisiana is only to what it should be as the egg is to the fowl, we shal
 sooner have the fowl by hatching thu egg than by smashing it.
 This form of argument left no stini r behind it; and the opponents of hi
 Louisiana reconstruction plan, at leas s thse of his own political party, mus l. have admitted later that his policy O f "malice toward none; with charity flo n all,' was superior to theirs.
 I A great many anecdotes and storie I have been attributed to Lincoln. It e certain that not all so-called were hi r. Indeed, it is probable that most of ther s were not. As the years go by it is b' }. coming more and more difficult to decid
 which are genuine-that is to say, thos
 which originated with Lincoln or weI
 known to have been repeated by hin
 Many stories said to be Lincoln $ wei . no doubt his own by right of first cal .o ing; others may also be called his b 'e cause of his apt selection and mann' Y of telling, with his own unique wordir C and application; but it is probable thi U by far the larger number of such stori now current are associated with h U name merely because he happened '' be present when they were told by son IS one else.--Century Magazine.

Good Tariff Reform Argument

A surplus of $S7 100000 is unwieldy, and if the treasury receipts continue to grow as they grew last year sound national policy will dictate reduction of taxes. The fact that imports are in- creasing even more rapidly than exports and the further fact that larger and larger share of import duties is col lccted on materials needed for manu- featuring, suggest the conclusion that the Dingley schedules have done their work in certain lines and need revision. The balance of taxation on imports could be shifted, so as to readjust bur dens and encourage trade. We do not want to collect taxes just for the sake of piling up money in the treasury, and the nation s incessant growth and rapid changes in the conditions of its trade and industry make it desirable to over haul our tariff and internal tax systems at suitable intervals.-New York Trib une.

TELEPHONE GROWTH
100000 Instruments and 6,0OO,OOO
 Miles of Wire In Use In America

Statistics issued at the close of the year 1906 show that there were in use in the United States alone more than 1000. .OOO telephones, while an aggre- gate of little more than 6,OOO,OOO miles of wire was used for telephone service.
 The telephone industry gives em- ployment to 90,000 persons in the United States, an increase of IT per cent in six years, while during the same period the number of stations has increased 239 per cent and the wire mileage 349 per cent.
 There is little doubt that much of this increase is due to the general adoption of the so-ealled message rate system in place of the flat annual charge formerly in vogue. By making the charges proportional to the mum Der of calls, the use of the telephone has been widely extended both because of the greater willingness of people to be come subscribers under such conditions and because the system gives an in centive to the local telephone companies to give good service and encourage the use of the telephone.
 Another cause for the increase 1T the number of telephones in use i: doubtless the extending number oi cities, since the telephone is an abso lute necessity in the modern tall build ing making it possible to transact busi ness as well from the twentieth story as from the ground floor. The install lation of the telephone in every suit' in the modern hotel and large apart ment house accounts for portion O the increase-The Forum.
