CTS. Does Senator Perkins fear anything in that policy? Does t menace him or his friends? Has he reasons for objecting to pol icy that would put an end to re- batting and make secret combina- tions in restraint of trade dang erous to corporations and persons concerned in them?
 Senator Perkins is a Republic an. He is a member and a long time beneficiary of the party of which President Roosevelt is the official head. He desires to re- main in the Senate as the repre- sentative of the party and of the Republican State of California. He may attain his end by attack ing the chief of his party and col laborating with Chancellor Day, but it will be because the people of California have no voice in the election of their Senators.

MISCHIEVOUS MEDDLING

When associations for meddling in other peoples's affairs find lei sure hanging heavily on their hands, they turn their attention either to the army or to the h. dian and plague the Government with insistent demands that something be abolished, prevent ed, prohibited or regulated ac- cording to their notions. The poor Indian can't help himself, and he comes in for more than his share of irritating interfer- ence. One of these associations has gravely "resoluted" that "the practice for Indians of both sexes to dance together tends to lower the standard of morality among them and the association earnest ly urges the government and the Indian office to take the necessary steps to prevent such dancing.
 There are people who hold that dancing by white men and wom- en is immoral and sinful, but they know better than to ask Congress to pass a law forbid ding the practice. They would be jeered at for even suggesting such a thing.
 The red man and the man in khaki don't vote and therefore their morals" are subject to regulation whenever the politici- ans think the meddlers have po- litical influence enough to be for midable. There hasn't been an Indian outbreak in the last fifty years that was not provoked by stupid or malicious meddling with the red mans affairs, and the appalling record of assertions from the army is traceable di- rectly to conditions brought about by the trucking of politicians to regulators of other peoples busi- ness.
 Probably the most effective so- lution of the Indian question would be the full enfranchise- ment of the Indian, making him a citizen instead of a ward. 7" The red man is better fitted for self-government than millions of black voters are or ever will be, and he has a better claim to American citizenship. Treated as a man, not as a child, the h. dian would soon cease to be a problem, and the jealous regulat- ors of things in general and jog gle-witted sentimentalists would cease from troubling him and the government.

Secretary Cortelyou was an eff ficient private secretary and a very good government clerk, who never permitted political convic- tions to interfere with the hold ing of his job, but his ambition to be President of the United Statse is preposterous. His scheme to get the Federal brig ade organized into a secret ma chine for his own use, under pre- tence of booming Roosevelt for a third term, was the sort of poli- tics the people of this country do not like and the collapse of his furtive campaign is unanimously satisfactory. MT. Cortelyou looks very much like a tin-horn gamb- Ter caught dealing from'the bot tom of the deck.

PERKINS ASSAILS ROOSEVELT

the Washington correspondent of a large number of the small news papers of California. He is in- dustrious and copious, and every week he sends from Washington, in a U. s. Senate envelope, and under his frank, a long letter dealing with all the important happenings in Congress, especi- ally his own diligent labors and feats of statesmanship.
 Under date of Dec. 20, Senator and Washington correspondent Perkins sends to the Imperial Valley Press, and presumably to a few hundred other papers, a letter which crackles with anti Rooseveltism. The first para graph insinuates that the presi- dent has not told the truth about the cruise of the battleship fleet. The second takes a side swipe at Legislation by executive order" and "usurpation of legislative powers" and the third is as fol- lows:
 President Roosevelt, according to the published statement of Mayor Dahlman of Omaha, ac- cepts responsibility for the re- cent panic, the ultimate effects of which are not yet felt. The financial community long ago fixed the blame on his shoulders, and the mercantile and manu- featuring world is thinking simi- lar thoughts as business dimin- ishes. When the effects of the upheaval strike wages, as 1t IS believed they will, the laboring classes will doubtless find little reason to rejoice in the propa- ganda which has been put forth by him whom ex-Govenor Black refers to as the Man on the Bar rel Head.
 It is not true that the Presi- dent accepts responsibility for the money famine created by a band of Wall street conspirators, and it is not conceivable that Senator Perkins believes it to be true. The Senator does not es- cape responsibility for the false assertion by crediting it to the Mayor of Omaha. He makes 1t his own by elaborating it, declar- ing that the blame has been fixed" on the Presidents shoul- ders and telling the laboring peo- pie that their wages will be re- duced as a result of the policies of the Man on the Barrel Head. {" Senator Perkins makes that cpl thet hlS own also.
 Convicted criminals of the Standard Oil type, financial pi- rates of the Ryan class, trust company thimble-riggers, looters of banks and smug-faced toadies to predatory fnanciers have done their vicious utmost to unload the consequences of their own vil- lainies upon the shoulders of the man who has exposed them and made their crooked games dan gerous to play, but they have not succeeded in persuading any honest man that the policeman who arrests an incendiary is re- sponsible for the fire losses or should be tried for arson.
 What is the propaganda" at which the snug Senator Perkins covertly sneers? A square deal, obedience to the law by the crea- lures of the law, honesty in busi- oasS fidelity tO trust and prose

mirable than such life, yet Ben jamin Hadley was a successful" man in the estimation of money mad fools.
 Senator Perkins is not content to supply the country newspap- CTS of California with Washing ton news; he generously fur nishes editorial opinions without charge. Following statement of alleged fact in connection with the shooting up of Brownsville by negro soldiers, the Senator would make the papers printing his volunteer correspondence say that the point is a further jusl tification of Senator Foraker's criticism of the President" But possibly some of the country ed itors have opinions of their own, and some may not be convinced yet that there has been any jus tification of Senator Foraker's onslaught.

EMPRESS OF JAPAN.

Her private life remains solitary, un.
eventful, and a little sad and cold. West

penetrate beyond the state rooms OF the
great palace In the private apartments
OF the emperor and empress all the old
Japanese influence Is intact. Its dainu-
ness and beauty arc happily here I'M
touched by extraneous conceptions. The
empress. discarding the ugly European
robes OF public occasions, slips back into
the subtle grace OF japanese costume,
with its faint, delicate colorings, It's flut-
tering sleeves, It's incompar able reserve
even in its richness. But along with this
artistic charm go the restrictions of old
japanese life. and with all her quick, re-
captive intelligence the empress has TO
obey the rules that leave her private ex-
istence rather empty and cherries one.
Cnfortunat ely, tho empress does not
speak any foreign languages. In conse-
quence her intercourse with the ladies' Of
the different legations IS limited to purely
formal receptions Her own lades-in-
waiting have little establishments built
for them in the grounds OF the palace.

1t was the late Josiah Flynt Willard
who really gave to the world the word
graft" which he first heard while en-

Willard that other Investigators were
lacking in the quality which made him
pre- eminent. One writer declares: HE
never took on superior air or be-

about whom he was curious. He was
simply interested in the life OF all
sorts Of queer people-crooks, petty
grafters, the enemies Of the police in
general. The books he wrote about
them were the natural result Of the

the books. There Is an essential dis
