Advices from indianapolis that some
of the labor leaders predicted a general
bituminous coal strike after April /
probably had something to do with the
late setback in stocks. The Eastern
railroad shares were for the most part
heavy all day. A bituminous strike
would tend greatly to reduce freight
earnings Of such railroads as Pennsyl-
vania, Baltimore and Ohio Norfolk
and western. and Chesapeake and
Ohio.

FREE AND EASY

n IJSINESS in Germany is conducted
by foreigners under extraordinary
~ difficulties. American commercial
travellers must familiarize themselves
with the rules which the German gov
ernment has made for the regulation
of trade. BY the way, this information
will help readers to understand why the
Trnited States and the British empire
cali themselves the only free countries
on earth.
Before a foreign commercial traveller
say an American or a Briton-is per-
nitted to transact business Of any kind
in Germany he must take out a busf-
ness license. BY the frivolous and light
minded Germans this document is
named a "Gewerbelegitimati ationskarte." !"
AS soon as the American drummer
acquires a egitimstionskarte
he is crowded by a new sense Of re-
suonsibility, a keener appreciation than
aver he had before of the portentous
fact that life is real, lifesis earnest If
he wishes to come and go as he pleases,
IN the manner to which citizens Of
happy Britain and fortunate America
are accustomed. he must procure a
travelling business permit, and must
accustom himself to think Of 1t as a

federal states of Germany excepting
Prussia the local authorities win supply
him with these necessities. In Prussia,
however. there is more formality. The
Prussian apparently thinks Of the In

DEMOCRATIC UNION

H1HE keynote Of the Democratic
club banquet was the keynote of
the national Democracy-"HAR-
MONT." With UNITED effort for
the success of the Democratic ticket,
local as well as national. the Demo-
cratic ticket will win. Democrats pro-
pose to infnse into the local campaign
enthusiasm and energy which will help
the national campaign.
This Is the time for united. energetic
WORK. Union is all very well. but it
must be union with activity.
United apathy won't do. United in
ertia never accomplished anything.
United active endeavor. however. al
ways brings results. We hope every
Democrat win see that his first duty is
TO his country. and that patriotism de-
mands the success of the Democratic
national ticket. A good. honest, square,
earnest local fight is bound to help the
national cause.
The campaign is well begun. Let It
be continued in the spirit Of union and
harmony. shoulder to shoulder is
the motto OF the Democracy. In union
there IS strength. In union there is
zorcs. In union there is victory.

stated in this way: They are bier, but
he is zweibier. So in Prussia the Amer
lean business agent will encounter more
red tape than in other Germanic coun-
tries. In that superior land both the
license and permit are obtained from
the Regierungsprasident. In addition
to all the other requirements the COM
mercial traveller must be more than
25 years of age, and must be Of char
acter to which the police can take no
exception. When we think of how
open-hearted and open-handed, how
liberal and generous. kind and hos
pitable all the people who use the
American or English language are in
their treatment OF foreigners addicted
to the use OF words like Gewerbelegiti-
mationskarte or worse, and how rusty
and crusty and Grabbed and Jealous
and selfish these foreigners are In their
treatment of the "intruder'' who Is ac-
customed to moderate language, we

TT is announced that the state tax
rate this year will be only 40 cents
u on the hundred dollars, which will
be the lowest but one in the history
of the state. In one year the levy was
38 2-10 cents, but that was made for
political effect and did not produce
the revenue to meet the appropria-
tions. The fact that Accent rate
will this year raise the money to pay
all bills is evidence that the property
of the state is increasing very rapidly.
With a Accent state rate the total
rate in this city will be $1.90 on the
hundred dollars.
The low state rate this year will be
very welcome to many large taxpay-
ers who are not getting their usual
revenue, but the fact that a low rate
will produce the money for the ordi-
nary state expenditures will result In
great pressure upon the legislature for
larger appropriations for objects
deemed by their advocates Of inn
pertance. This fact makes 1t essential
that we should send to the legislature
|leyel-headed and prudent men who will
see that whatever is spent Is spent
wisely. There are some objects FOR
which the state has hitherto spent
very little money, but on which 1t Is
desirable to increase expenditure. For
example, the state is virtually commit
ted to cooperative work with the ma
tional government for the development
of the Sacramento valley by reclama-
ton of the swamp lands and trriga-

APPARENTLY be necessary to add to our
prison accommodations in such a way
that the first termers-nearly all very
young-can be kept separate from the

cisco Chronicle.
The pressure will be great for larger
appropriations for ths administration
and enforcement of our pure food and
health laws. In many ways public
sentiment is demanding more and more
costly services fr n local, state and
national governments than the Ameri-
can people have been accustomed to.
and nothing can prevent the gradual
assumption of these services-all of
which cost money and increase tax

and desirable at this time can be ac-
complished without undue taxation.
Whether the appropriations will be
confined to such objects and kept with'i
in economical limits will depend on
the personal character Of the men
elected to the senate ana assembly.

TROUBLES OF HEARST

against the Democratic party and per-

all about Jefferson and remember only
Hearst, he has strengthened the DEM

of American citizens to remember Jer-

According to sour Mineral Wealth,
the official paper Of Mohave county,
Arizona, citizen named Kean st.
Charles received from Los Angeles
letter signed "Coast Editor Examiner"
in which he was asked to furnish news
service at regular space rates. Inc

the Hearst papers in throwing down

strong for Hearst. I myself spent

gates against the Ellinwood ring.
There seemed to be principles in the In
terest Of all at stake then-the prin-
ciples of Bryan and Hearst All has
now changed and Hearst has no more
following among Hassayampa Demo-
Gratis than Benedict Arnold or another
of the same cloth, Judas. We are all
sorry to see disciple fall from the
top to the bottom by one act Of trea-
son, when even the allurements OF the
pieces of silver were lacking. But the
die is cast for Mr.. Hearst. He Is one
OF the three IN history who betrayed a

his work of years, and tumbling the
building he erected down on himself.

their lives as lightly as water. On
the other hand, Americans and
Europeans attach the chief import
ance to money-and those who love
money love their lives.
The article, which is aimed at this
c untry, goes on to intimate that by
reason Of the insufficient fortidcations
on the Pacific coast of the United States
it would be quite easy for Japan to land
force here which would be conquer
ing as we'll as an invading army says
the San Francisco Chronicle.
Such talk, of course, is rubbish. The
Japanese are not one whit better
fighters" than the people Of western
nations. They are greatly inferior In
physique and in the means Of securing
equipment for carrying on war. Nor
could the Japanese by any possibility
get the money to land an army in
America. If there Is less inclination
among western people to brag than
seems to exist among the Japanese
jingoes, it is not from any doubt OF
their ability to take care of themselves,
or to prevent their countries from be-
ing oVerrun by Asiatics. And while
there is no occasion for making this
state of mind prominent in discussion
or frequently referring to such mat
ters, 1t may conduce to the peace OF the
world and the prosperity of the Jap
anese people to make 1t clearly under
stood that conduct inspired by the
spirit continuously displayed by Count
Okuna would not be endured by any
strong western nation. The people OF
the United States have great admirH-
ton for the Japanese people, whose
bravery and energy in peace or war
they fully recognize. Japan was gladly
admitted to the family of nations, which
involves obligations as well as priv
ileges. We shall ell do best IL we trade
together in good feeling and compete
in neutral markets, and with the least
reference to the mean things we could
do to each other If we tried. The post
tion and power of Japan in the world
is precisely the same as that of any
other country Of equal population and
resources.
