SHERMAN ACCEPTS BLAME
VICE Presidential Candl.
date Drawn Out by Congress-
man De Almond.

On the word Of James Schoolcraft
Sherman, Republican vice presidential
candidate. full responsibility for con-
gress' failure to enact many needed
laws must be assumed by the Repub-
lican party.
April g, 1908. in the house, as printed
in the Congressional Record. Repre-
sentative David, A. De Almond, Of
Missouri, said:
when the question Is asked any
where in the .country-and it will be
asked-why was not this measure
considered, why was not that meas
ure passed, why was not the other
measure brought up? there is one an
swer, aud only one: Because the Re-
publican majority in this house wi1led
that it should not be considered, should
not be brought up, should not be
passed We can stand upon that rec
ord. It IS we'll known that there is
pressure in the country, and very great
pressure. for the consideration and
passage of number of important
measures. 1t is well known that Il
large majority Of the voting strength
of the country is insistent upon the
consideration and the passage of i'm
pOrtant measures. Do not go to them
again, as you have done so often and
so successfully. and endeavor to de-
lude them into the belief that some
how you could not get consideration
for the measure and somehow you
could not pass it. You can have con-
sideratiOn, because you have the pow
er to enforce it; and. so far as meritori
Gus measures are concerned, as has
been demonstrated here more than
once and will be demonstrated again,
and abundantly demonstrated, you
have only to express the will, you have
only to give the opportunity, and if
you lack the votes upon that side. as
you do not, there will be an abundant
addition here
Sherman Admits 1t.
The same day, replying, Mr.. Sher-
man said:
THE gentleman from Missouri in
Inmates that the Republican side Of the
house desires to do away with the roll
calls because of some fear of making
a record upon some question before

party in this nation. is prepared today

AN INQUISITION BY FEDERAL
JURY INTO THE MATURITY COM
PANY AFFAIRS.

The Federal Grand Jury has been at
work all day again today. Among

1t is also stated that the jury is
looking into the matter of bringing an
indictment against Kentwell, the late
president of the Hawaiian Realty and

Ni>hizaki Replies to L. 3. W.

Boyd, Oregon, Decem ber 81, 1903.
70 the Editor: | have read the il
logical argument of p. S. W. The out
line of his letter is that the japanese
are living on rice and that they send
hack the money to their brethren or
friends and work In kitchens and take
girls work.
Indeed, do not deny that the Jap.
anese live on rice, but must explain
it to p. S. W. he thinks the rice
is cheap food and the Americans can
not live on such food. But read the
quotations OF the market. One bushel
of wheat sells for 95 cents and pound
Of ice for s. cents. In fuct rice is
not cheap food Its nutritious ele.
ments are as good as -four and the
Japanese have been living Oh this food
ever since he desisted from his moth
er's milk fbe rice is the daily bread
Of .he Oriental4 ns the baked -four is
the bread of The OrGideutais. The
japanese are healthy and vigorous on
the rice. Their living is not as low
AZ some think. AS the Europeans
can't live entirely on rice, the Asiat-
les can't change theiI food so radical
ly, but we are taking the bread and
biscuits once or twice "a day. The
only thing that the American lahorer
can blame the japanese for Is that
the latter is more thrifty than he ip.
am a student Of the social science
and have much interest and sympathy
in the labor unions of the worlJ. The
laborng class are the backbone OF
every county aud should be respect
ed and protected by the government
with every possibility. And the cap
i,alist must realize that he cannlt do
anything with his gold unless there
is a sufficient labor to produce 81
man ufacture the demanded goods for
the world s mBrket But the labor er
should not forget that the daily work
that he IL doing is blessing from
tho Lord and is a service for the fel
lowmankind of the world; must obey
and observe the laws and be thrifty.
Every cent he earns Is a reward fGl
his sweat, so he must be careful for
what he should spend 1t. Hundreds
OF millions OF dollars are spent annu
ally for liquors and cigars in this
country. The japanese will not harm
them, but what terrible enemy the
liquor aud tobacco is. Hundreds of
families ale ruined and hundreds of
wives seek divorces thereon.
The human being ought to love his
parents aud brothers. especially the
parents and his family. P. s W. tries
to attack the japanese because they
send the money to their loving ones.
Not only the japanese Italians. Jews,

Americans too, love his parents and
