Dangerous Business.

San Francisco will do Ill to excuse
the riotous attacks on Japanese res
taurants and lighthouses in their
city on the ground that they were
merely incidental to the strike of
street car men, and that the author
tiles are having their hands full in
quelling that particular kind of dis
order without bothering about the
foreigners.
In Japan that can hardly seem
valid. The people of the empire
realize their unpopularity in Cali
fornia, and naturally regard the
smashing of their countrymen's
property as another evidence of
racial and national hatred. We need
only to put ourselves in their places
to see the fun force of this reason
ing. If American stores in Tokyo
were to be looted, it needs little
Imagination to picture the wave of
anger and outraged pride that
would sweep the country. The hot
heads would, of course, call for war
at once.
1t is San Francisco's duty to pro-
tect the lives and property of all
Japanese within her limits. Serious
ly, it is more important task than
that of seeing that no one shall
throw mud at the street cars. To
foment needlessly a spirit of hatred
in Japan is worse than folly-it is
a crime.

The Indianapolis Speech.


Wall Street is reported to have
got hold of some advance informa-
ton about the speech which the
President is delivering in Indianapo-
lis today, and to have decided, on
reflection, that the speech was on
the whole bullish in tone and eff
feet. Which shows that Wall Street
is more sensible than might have
been expected of it. Most people,
knowing how finicky Wall Street is
about such things, would have ex-
pected the exchange to throw a fit
over the suggestion of physical val
uation and limitation of capitaliza-
ton.
This is an excellent illustration of
the Streets latter-day access of
sense about the relations of Govern
ment to big business. The Street
has evidently discovered that the
purpose of governmental regulation
is not to wreck but to conserve val
ues and business. 1t apparently bas
learned, too, that the great mass of
people firmly decline to be fright
ened at the things they know are
! right. There was general agree
ment year ago now, that the rate
bill would injure stocks and business
if it passed; but after it passed
there was a great upward movement
which carried stocks so high that
reaction was unavoidable.
The Presidents address today can
not do less than give the direction
! to the summers discussion of pub
| lie questions. We shall have another
summer of railroad problems and
| constitutional aspects, followed by
a message in December which will
outline the Presidents plan in more
detail, and then by a Congressional
session at which these propositions
will be formulated into legislation.
The President has indicated in
this preliminary outline of his ideas
that he wants legislation to give
Federal control of capitalization.
and as an incident to that he be-
lieves there should be provision for
valuation of the railroads. How
fast public opinion is moving along
these lines is indicated by recalling
that only n year ago Senator La Fol-
lette was read out of the Republican
party by certain very conservative
people for trying to amend the rate
bill by writing into it a provision
for a physical valuation. He got
most of the Democratic and Just
four Republican votes. Today it is
taken up by the leader of the Re-
publican party as part of his pro-
gram. Thus does Mr.. La Toilette
contribute an issue, as Mr.. Bryan
has contributed a good many of
them, to the Republican party's
stock.
Beyond the aspects which he dis
cusses in the Indianapolis speech,
the President will doubtless ask
Congress largely to extend the pow
ers of the Interstate Commerce
Commission over rates. The com
missions first year under the new
law has proved that it needs power
to suspend the operation of any tariff
of rates until it shall have time to
determine whether it is just, and to
negative it entirely if convinced that
it is unjust. This is an immediate
and very practical reform that is
absolutely necessary if the commits
siOn's new powers are to be made
effective.
