California Right OIusy Says.

X. @. Journal;
Richard Oluey, ex.secresary Of state
has come to the rescue Of the
Calfornians, who Aredemandiug that
they De permitted to settle all matters
pertaining to their public schools in
their own way. A letter from Mr..
Olney TO Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts,
was made public to-day in which be in
sIsts that the Californians have been
/, right from the first in their contentious
and that no issue whatever is joined
as to the laws OF the state and the
treaty rights Of the Japanese.
Mr.. Olney is inclined to belittle
so re Of the official interpretations Of
: the japanese treaty when he says:
! s'In every discussion l have seen Of
the Japanese claim,I whether Official
or otherwise, it has been assumed that
: he issue is between the laws OF
California and the rights purportIng
0 to be granted to Japan by treaty"
This contention, Mr.. Olney asserts, is
entirely untenable and he quotes 8
T. a Supreme Court decision 10 the cast
OF South Carolina against the United
T. States in which 1t said:
>, Ibe two governments, national ant
state, are each to exercise their power
: so as not to interfere With the free an
full exercise by the other of the powers
les Not only therefore can there be n
loss of free and independent autoDom
az to the states through their unto

an be unreasonably said that the preserv
life ton Of the states and the maintenanI

,ws of indestructible states.
Mr.. Olney argues that there can
'ion no conflict bltween the state laws a
% the treaty, because the treaty express
- provides that It's stlpulations are in
~ way to affect the laws, ordinances q
IIe regulations with regard to "police q
does public security, which are in, force

No man can live a true life whose
heart is co q and shriveled. Love and
life are in a sense synonymous. Lie
grows rich and precious IS love
broadeus and deepens. The self CEN
tered life is the false and empty life.
The life that is spent for Others Is the
lie that is saved. S%eliishness IS
spiritual suiclde Rev. r. J. Kent.
Progress is the u%nvaryiug programme
of the universe, and OF all life, and all
progress is achieved by having and
carrying out some purpose. To have
no high purpose and to be seeking
nothing higher or better Is to have re-
? versed the true processes Of lie az TO
? have begun the sure journey to the
grave.-Rev. G. G. Pierce.
The genius Of incarnation in the
D CHRISTIAN seuce, IS we understand IT,
is not that OF substitution. It's not

i. lifting the whole OF that environment

BY nature there is that within us

WOODRUFF SEES PRESIDENT
Politics the Subject of Conference at
the White House.
Chairman. Of New York Republican
state Committee Makes q
Flying Trip.

Timothy L. Woodruff. OF Brooklyn,
chairman of the New York Republican
State committee. made a transient visit
to Washington last night for the purpose
Of having a talk with President Roosevelt
about political matters in New York
State. He arrived here at $50 o'clock and
left on the midnight train for home He
was at the White House about an hour
and a half Secretary of the Treasury
Cortelyou. former chairman of the Re
publican National Committee. was present
during the greater part of the interview
between the President and Mr.. Woodruff.
When Mr, Woodruff left the White
House shortly after II o'clock. he de-
clined to go into details regarding his
talk with Mr.. Roosevelt.
Before went to Europe" said he, the
President asked me TO come over TO
washington for a talk with him about
State matters, but I was on the point of
leaving. and as the matters TO be talked
over were not urgent. the visit was de-
ferrcd. As soon as I landed from the
steamer the other day. I wrote to the
President informing him OF my arrival
and asking him when it would be con-
venient 10 see me
"Of course We talked about politics.
No. the Taft boom was not mentioned.
neither was the Presidential nomination
alluded to in any way. 1 suggested 10
the President that il was now nearing
the time when We should get ready for
the IfeXt campaign. and there was some
talk OF matters that were left over from
the last campaign"
Was there anything said about cam
paign contributions Mr.. Woodruff was
asked.
mo-" he answered. But there was
just such a general talk about the COM
ing campaign as you would imagine there
would be in view Of the fact that I had
not seen the President for some time and
politics was the matter under discussion. "
Mr.. Woodruff said that there was no
connection between Mr.. CoTtelyou's pres
enee and his at the interview with the
President

HOPE TO OPEN STORE SOON
Cooperative Guild Organizers En-
thusiastic Over Plan.
CLERKS sforsr VIII Not UnderseII
Local Merchants, but Profits VIII
Be Divided Among Patrons.

Our reason for establishing a co-opera-
tive department store for government en-
ployes is the belief that the merchants Of
Washington are overcharging Us for the
necessaries of life" said DR.. A Patten.
Of the Treasury Department. who. on
Saturday, was elected president of the
Department Cooperative Guild.
1T is not, however, our purpose to an
tagonize the business interests OF the city
by underselling the local merchants. Our
scale Of prices will be equal to theirs,
but # can be readily understood that it
win be to the advantage OF the govern
ment clerk and stockholder TO deal at the
cooperative store, as the profits Of the
business viii be eventually returned TO
them in the form of dividends.
The principal diniculty which con-
fronts us is the selection Of a capable
manager. He must, OF course, be prac-
teal business man and an organizer OF
executive ability. His selection win be
left to the executive committee
1T is the desire OF the officers of the
guild to operate under the laws of the
District OF Columbia, if possible The
company will probably be Incorporated
and capitalized at 100000 and ia order to
do this a cash capital OF $4,000 is neces-
sary. To realize this amount. stock will
be issued and sold at SO a share.
1T is our purpose TO establish at the
start a grocery and provision store. and
lif this proves a success, to enlarge the
business until it covers all the necessities
wrn1 fnv .F h. Tfe-
As a model, we viii follow the methods OF
the Army and Navy store of London. one
of the largest cooperative stores, if not
the largest, in the world, at which can be
purchased anything from pin to an ele-
phant.
Every employe of the government
white or eolored. viii be eligible 10 men,
bership, and it is intended to be so ar
ranged that each shareholder will be al
lowed vote in the proceedings which
govern the store. BY this method the
man with one share will be as much en-
titled to a voice as the holder of hun
dred.
''Ten per cent Of the net proceeds. after
the payment Of all expenses, win be con-
verted each year to enlarging the busl-
ness. The remaining 90 per cent will be
divided among the stockholders according
20 the amount Of his purchases made dur
| ing the year. For instance, If man buys
500 worth OF goods, he viii receive the
profit less 10 per cent, upon that 500, AS
result, he obtains his merchandise at
practically wholesale prices.
This movement has been under con-
sideration for some years. but crystallized
as the result OF the failure OF Congress
10 raise the salary OF government clerks.
It is by this means that we hope to give
10 the government clerk the opportunity
to save one hundred or so dollars from
his small salary If possible"
Dr. Patten said the legal aspect of the
proposition will be considered and the
company probably incorporated within
| the next two weeks.
