cal parties. Happily the strength and
solidity of our institutions can safely
withstand the utmost freedom and &C
tivity of political discussion so far as It
involves the adoption of governmental
policies or the enforcement of good ad-
ministration. But they cannot with
stand the frenzy Of hate which seeks
under the gulse of political earnestness
to blot out American brotherhood and
to cunningly persuade our people that
a crusade of envy and malice Is no
more than a Jealous insistence upon
their manhood rights.
Political parties are exceedingly hui
man. they easier fall before temptation
than individuals, by so much as parti-
san success is the law of their life and
because their responsibility is imperso-
nal. 1t is easily recalled that political
organizations have been quite willing
to utilize gusts of popular prejudice
and resentment: and I believe they
have been known as matter OF shreWd
management to encourage voters to
hope for some measure of relief from
economic abuses. and yet to stand

We have fallen upon time when it
behooves every thoughtful citizen

reason and who cares enough for his

of the party of his choice needs watch

critically to observe its direction and
tendency. This certainly ought to re-
suit in our country's gain; and it is
only partisan inpudence that condemns

Japanese immigration Grows.

immigration of Japanese into
America is increasing at SO alarming
a rate that. it has been determined
to adopt extraordinary measures tc
prevent the Introduction into the
United States not only of Japanese
but of other Asiatic coolie laborers
One result of the trip of Secretar.
Straus has been an increase in the
force of immigration inspectors along
the Canadian border with a view to
controlling the flood of Asiatic i'm.
migration.
1t is known that more than double
the number of Japanese have come
into the United States thus far in
the year 1907 than came here during
the same period last year.
Naturally the figures of the gov.
eminent do not include the hundreds
of japanese who have come into the
country surreptitously, They have
come across from the Canadian and
Mexican borders practically without
hindrance, despite the regulations
adopted by the government to pre-
vent the Introduction of Japanese la
borers. Fol many months the gov
ernment has had immigration in
sDectors in Mexico and Canada. In
practically every instance the inspec-
tors have reported that the Japanese
who reach Mexico or Canada are
bound for the United. States.
Inquiries in the Hawaiian islands
have revealed organizations whose
business is to procure Japanese la
5borers to work in the United States.
They not only provide the means, but
have the way by which Japanese may
obtain entrance into this country
through Canada and Mexico.
Returns from the Canadian immi-
grafton Office show that $3.50 Ash
atics were landed at the British
Columbian ports of Victoria and Van
couver between January L and Sep
TENDER is, 1907. OF this large num-
Der 2,S72s were Hindus and 1881
were Japanese, most of the latter
reaching Canada from Honolulu. The
remaining sixty-three we're Chinese
who paid an admission fee of S.
for the privilege of landing in Cana
da. The file of labor in that sec
ton of Canada is limited and the
investigations of American-immigra
ton inspectors have Shown that most
of the Japanese and Chinese expect
ultimately to get into the United
States.

ByT'yOducts OF thc Farm.

1t is said that little has been done
by the government to acquaint the
farmers with the possibilities of dis
tilling alcohol for commercial uses
and to make the process easier for
them. Probably the criticims comes
from people who expected a sudden
and enormous development of farm
distillation as soon as the act taking
the heavy tax off denatured alcohol
and Offering privileges to farmers
for small plants were passed. Wheth-
er the farmers a make great prof
its from such distillation or not is
certainly a question, but that they
can utilize many Of their vast pro-
ducts and get some of that inciden-
tai profit which has proved SO inn
pcrtant a factor, for instance, in the
meat industry, where the ~by-products
give the heavy dividends, seems GER
tain, if French and German expsr-
fence will apply.
Consul General Skinner at Mar
~seilles has been making an exhaus-
tive study of French methods, and
his report has recently reached
Washington. Some French farmers
have their own small stills. Others
lemploy an itinerant distiller who
comes with his plant, much as the
American thrashing machine owner
takes his equipment from farm to

The Elkins and Hepburn Acts.

The ElkiDs and Hepburn Acts.
The federal Circuit Court of APP
pcals of the eighth judicial district,
in a case that had been brought I'M
der the anti-relating provision OF
the Elkins law, has held-as Judge
Lands held in the Standard Oil case
that section 10 of the new rate
act, known as the Hepburn act, did
not operate to repeal the Elkins act
nor grant immunity nor pardon for
~offenses committed prior to the time
at which the former took effect.
Section 10 of the Hepburn act
reads as follows: THAT all laws and
part of laws in conflict with the pro-
visions Of this act are hereby repeal
ed, but the amendments herein pro-
vided for shall not affect causes now
pending in the courts of the Uni
ted States, but such causes shall be
prosecuted to a conclusion in the
manner heretofore provided by law
The federal Circuit Court of APP
peals sitting at Denver holds that the
Hepburn act is essentially an amen
datory. law, and that section 10 must
DE interpreted in accordance with
that fact. Inconsistent" laws and
provisions are repealed by it, but
provisions that are merely repro.
duced and continued were at no time
suspended or repealed.
The question as to the relation be-
tween these two acts is very mater
ial and not merely On account of the
immunity claims that have arisen
and still may rise under it. In some
respects the Hepburn act is much
stronger and more comprehensive
than the Elkins Law, while lin others
it Is apparently weaker For ex-
ample the ruling of Judge Lands in
regard to the duty of shippers to
Investigate" rates quoted and salts
'ify themselves of their legality was
based or the peculiar and ambiguous
p~hraseology of the Elkins act. which
made it unlawful to receive re-
bates or discriminatory rates. Such
ruling would be impossible under
the Hepburn act, which makes it a
misdemeanor knowingly" to re-
ceiye special rates or rebates. BY no
rational construction in the new law
be said to make 1t the duty of ship
pers to diligently investigate the ac-
tons of the carriers in making and
publishing rates. The omission or
use of such a qualifying word as
knowingly" is of great Importance,
and it is reassuring to learn that
wherever the Hepburn act in any
way changes any previous statute II
repeats that statute to the. extent OF
the change and supersedes it,

suggested an amendment to the inter

commission should be granted power
to establish the classification for all
the, railroads of the country was re
E#raed by him as desirable, but be-
You'd that he thought that the pos
sibilities of manipulating rates by
changes in classification were SO great
that the general control of the clas-
sification should be in the commits
sion's hands as a necessary supple
ment to the powers it already has.
A Washington dispatch in yester-
days Record-Herald announced that
the commission had received word
from a committee representing all
the carriers of the United States that
a uniform classification to replace
the three territorial classific cations
which now exist was assured, and
that the change would be made at
no distant day. Twenty years ago
a similar assurance was given the
commission, but the railroads could
never come to a final agreement and
the promise was never kept. Only
one traffic association stood out
against the uniform classification, but
its opposition was sufficient to de-
feat the scheme.
If the railroads do not agree now
the commission should be given pow
er to act. That power would be to
the benefit of the railroads, for this
is one more of those interesting cases
in which the intervention of the gov
eminent is desirable for the benefit
of corporations which will not COM
promise with one another on minor
points. rs we'll as for wider public
benefits. But even if the railroads do
