MORE PRESIDENTIAL PERTURBA-
TION.-It seems our strenuous Presi-
dent learned that Judge Brewer of
the United States Supreme Court
had given out the information that
Mr.. Roosevelt was anxious to con-
tinue in Office and that repeatedly de-
clining a denomination was scheme
to keep his name constantly before
the public. This language made Mr..
Roosevelt exceedingly wroth and he
INDUCED in some rather forcible
language which reflected upon the
intelligence OF the jurist, whereupon
Judge Harlan, q fellow member OF
the high tribunal, in the interest of
harmony, called upon the President,
who told Harlan to tell Brewer he
had sweetbreads" instead of brains.
Now sweetbreads, being translated,
means part of the anatomy OF the
calf, implying the Judge only had
calf's brains. When the Chief Execu.
tive passes such judgment upon a
member of the highest judiciary, how
can he expect the common people to
respect our courts? Had a plain
man. in overalls. used such language
the President would doubtless have
regarded him as an undesirable
citizen" or anarchist.

Trusts the Creations Of Law,

Undoubtedly Democrats will agree
with the Socialists that the people
never complain without some cause,
and that oppression comes from the
upper crust of society who use the
governmental machinery, far rs pos
sible, to exploit the middle class and
wage-earners. However, Democrats
of the Bryan stamp do not agree
with the postulate that trusts are
natural growths. They are quite
the contrary; are creations of legis-
lation, interpreted in their interest
by the judiciary. No combination
should be endowed with undue priv
ileges and then regulated by the
same agency. Why not repeal laws
giving the privileges, instead ofadvo-
eating ownership by government of
the trusts? 1t would seem SOLE
cism that a commonwealth organized
on the basis of equity could take
into its fold on artificially created
monstrosity and thrive. The true
law of progress in political or social
economy, as history plainly shows, is
in the direction of greater individual
liberty and initiative, rather than
complicated regulation or COLLECTIVE
ism

Our Adversary Gnawlng a File.

1t seems th,.. sc lave made OIy
understand our ldSt >crrcd. If 1t did
turn a cold shoulder to our first at
tempt to enlightcn him. by his own
request. When an opponent 50 far
forge,s the amenities Of journalism,
as to classify 4 plain statement OF
facts. prompted by Is own venture
some intrcpidity. as a senseless,
living charge of miairAcSs in il,
methods Of doing business, it LOOKS
more like Il confession of facts, and Il
reliance upon buster and bravado, Il
resort to Sound and fury signifying
nothing, than any reasonable dis
cuSsion Of the points of difference.
Those who know us well, are aware
that every statement made in Il con-
troversy like this. is we'll weighed
and deliberately made.
The Tacoma twins-the OlympiaH
and Rec,,,},r-arc entirely mistaken
in the assumption that the STANDARD
is "envious, " "spiteful," or ma
licious." in its arraignment of those
papers for adoption OF questionable
methods for eking out a prccariouS
existence. The fact that its projec-
tor is able to put up a monthly sti-
pend to cover losses, and then brag
of prosperity that is cXacted by
cOaxing, lattery, cajolery, or en-
forced threats, scurrility and asper-
sions of character against those who
refuse to bend the kree or toe the
line marked out for them, gives no
chance for envy of any record they
have made.
The Olympioa tries to make point
over the fact that Il granddaughter
of the editor OF the STANDARD was
one of the successful contestants. "
Yes, and that is how we happen
to know so much about the methods
adopted, which caused the blush of
of shame to mantle the cheeks of
relatives and friends who have a
proper regard for the dignity and
self respect of childhood. The plea
for action was impelled bya supposed
benefit for self, while the object was
solely to place ducats in the twins
owners purse. That was the full
size of it, and that is what thorough
understanding amply proves.

BAD AS THE PLAGUE OF LOCUsTs
IN BIBLICAL TIMEs.-Talk of the
Plaques of Egypt, something very
near such a calamity happened on
the steamer Liberty, plying some
time ago between Alton, ILL.,, and
Piasa Chautauqua, near st. Louis
on the Missouri river. Near Eagle
Nest Island, myriads of long-winged
yellow bugs, doubtless attracted by
the lights, came aboard and literally
clogged the machinery till the en-
gines stopped, and were freed from
the incumbrance. Many young PEG
PIE congregated on the deck to enjoy
the breeze, and none escaped tht
creatures which buzzed and beat theil
way beneath collars and cuffs anc
into eyes and ears. To relieve the
passengers the lights on the upper
deck were put out.

The Japs Want to Grow Into Favor.

1t seems that since the little JapS
defeated the Stocky Russians they
have been intent upon overcoming
all defects of physical personality
mental inferiority, they are yet. of
course, unable to see. Their station
has been the cause of great worri-
ment and the object of investigation
to discover the possible cause.
They have finally concluded that
they are a nation of dwarfS simply
from the habit of Squatting upon the
floor at all times when they are not
from necessity walking in discharge
of business matters. Even this is
restricted when possible. y mer-
chant will remain seated upon his
launches. while directing a boy to
wait upon his customers, whenever
it is possible to do so. This has been
the custom for ages. No chairs are
provided in offices, parlors or public
halls. They believe that this custom
has led toa meager development OF
the lower limbs, and that while the
upper part of the body is normal.
they are the objects of disrcspect
solely from being unable to look
squarcly into the eyes of other races,
from racial popularity shortnesS
of their legs.
And now an edict has gone forth
that chairs and benches shall be used
and everybody required to sit on
them. Women are forbidden to
carry their children about, under a
somewhat incongruous belief that
an additional burden has by weight
INSTRUCTED the growth of the neither
limbs. Hereafter it may be ex-
pected that this nation will go to
the other extreme in an attempt to
assist nature in perfecting the hui
man form. Whatever they attempt
to do. is done with rare unanlmity
and determination.
Probably this object was quite as
much the real cause of the SuggeS-
ton of some of the MikadOs CHIEF
counsellors that intermarriage with
the Yankees would afford a means OF
assimilation, whereby the better
qualities of both races would be pro-
NOTED and the Objectionable ones
eliminated, and lead to the develop
ment of race that would indeed be
world-power. This might be true
in the course of q few generations,
but it has been found in such al
liances, the immediate effect is tO
degrade the superior, long before it
begins to improve the inferior race.
To treat a ridiculous proposition
with seriousness, it is sufficient to
know that there is an irresistible re-
pugnance towards the union of races
so dissimilar in tastes, habits, GUS
toms, color, mental and physical
structure, that such a result would be
beyond the range of possibility. The
theory of disSimilarity held in regard
to prenatal conditions of parents,
cannot eradicate or control the hab-
its and incentives ingrained by the
customs of centuries, or does not
present enough probability on which
to give word of encouragement to
the little Jap that he may attain
stature by that means.

Currency Tinkering.

The early ad iournmcnt of Congress
will leave the currency middle still
unsettled. The Aldrich bill in the
Senate. appears to be favored by the
Administration but is open to con-
siderable serious objection even in the
house of its friends. 1t embraces Il
proposition to allow banks to issue
bonds on deposits of railroad. State
or certain classes of municipal bonds,
to provide an emergency currency
available when a palpable stringency
occurs. As considerable time elapses
between these panics, it is probably
wise to make haste slowly, as cOrpor-
alton bonds of the former classified
ton generally carry a large percent
age of water. 1t looks just as if
it may be made the means by the
larger bankers, of initiating currency
when they unite to raise prices and
debate when it serves their purpose
to turn the current in different d.
rection: in other words Il lever TO
bull and bear by the same toggle-
Joint. Under this same bill it will
be possible to issue five hundred
million dollars of additional circulat-
Ing notes within forty-eight hours,
if an emergency calls for them. sup
posed to be safely secured, and pre-
Sumably retired when the emergency
has passed, on account of the tax
placed upon them. State, municipal
and railroad bonds are available,
under its provisions. for security.
The Fowler bill in the House is
more moderate in its provisions. 1t
provides for the issue of national
bank guaranteed credit notes, Sc
cured by fund deposited at Wash
ingtOn. 1t provides for the retire
ment of the bond-secured circulation
and the substitution of an asset based
currency.
The Democratic members of the
Committee on Banking and Currency
have agreed to report a minority cur
rcncy bill as substitute, fathered by
John Sharp Williams. They oppose
the delegation by Congress to the
banks of most dangerous power by
giving them control of the medium
of all values, and comforting upon
them the sole power to issue money
in such values as they may deem
wise. 1t is still further concession
to corporations which has been the
most serious proposition with which
both Congress and the President has
mad to deal for many years. They
have already developed a powerful
growth which has seemed, at times,
to be beyond the control of govern
ment. This condition was forecast by
its founders, who predicted q greater
peril within than from without, cul-
minatiOn of the power of wealth
which might menace its life, if not
kept under constant surveillance
and restraint.

CONFIRMATION OF SCRIPTURE. -
Quite sensation has been created by
the discovery made some time ago by
Brugsch Bey, the great Psychologist,
of a Monumental inscription, relating
that the Nile failed to raise for seven
years in succession about 100 years
before the Christian era. A long
and terrible famine was the result.
B. c. 100 is the date recognized as
the beginning of the seven lean
years" described in the Book of Cen
esis, and theologians are much inter-
ested in the confirmation which the
discovery gives, in hard facts, to the
famous Bible story. The account of
the failure of the Nile and the con-
tinuous famine throughout the land
was told in number of extraordinary
hieroglyphics which Brugsch Bey
fortunately has been able to decipher

Let It Be An Issue.

The STANDARD, last week, called
attention to the fact that inasmuch
as SO many Of our laws are declared
unconstitutional by the courts, it
would be wise policy to follow in
the wake Of some of our elder sister
States, and incorporate q provision
in our constitution, allowing the Leg
islature while in session to submit
proposed legislation to the Supreme
Court, for adjudication before enact
ment. Instances arise right along
to fortify the position in this respect.
Two Superior Court judges have held
the revenue law of 1907, wherein it is
provided moneys and credits are OK
empt from taxation, unconstitutional.
Now comes the Attorney General and
advises the State Tax Commission to
require Assessors to list moneys and
credits. This difference will doubt
less cause expense and complications
galore. When we elect incompetent
members to the Legislature, the ne
cessity of such q constitutional enact
ment is all the more apparent. 1t
will save lawyers and Judges from a
great deal of hard labor, incidentally
and by no means trifling matter;
the taxpayers will be relieved of a
heavy burden, to say nothing about
keeping interested parties in long
suspense, as the same now prevails
under existing conditions, which un-
certainty, legislators without regard
to party affiliations should resort to
strenuous efforts to eliminate.
