The Agiaffc Problem
Is Vexing Fasteners

the United States virtually at the mercy
of the immigration or customs OFFICER pc
fore whom he had to present himself.
1T is thus apparent that the policy
of the legislative branch of the govern
ment will have to undergo an entire
change before there is the slightest
chance of bringing the exclusion acts
into something like accord with our ex-
listing treaties with China. We have
been accustomed to regard the govern
ment of China as Supremacy careless OF
the requirements of what we should re
gard as national dignity. The fact can
not be too clearly recognized that there
is growing in China an equivalent to what
western nations call public opinion which
the central government at Picking can
no longer afford to Ignore. Secretary
Taft brings back from his oriental tour
the impression that the Japanese are a
proud people and demand that they sha
be treated on the same basis as people
of other countries. There can be no
question that they would bitterly resent
any attempt on the part of this govern
ment to bring them under the operation
of the Chinese exclusion laws, and there
can be equally no question that every
step toward modern progress in China
is calculated to render the Chinese more
sensitive to the insulting character of
tnaI leBiSlatlon II secretary IaII ann
Secretary Straus can impress upon con-
gress the idea that to live on good terms
with China and Japan and to afford
Americans the same facilities that people
of other nationalities enjoy to do business
with both, congress must readjust its
whole attitude to the question of Asiatie
immigration, they will perform one of the
greatest possible services to the CONNER
cial and industrial interests of the United
States Considering the power displayed
by California politicians to compel COM
to beat the Foster bill and that displayed
by Californit politicians to compel a COM
promise on the Japanese immigra ton
question, the prospects of bringing about
change of mind in the majority in con-
gress are not brilliant"

LED ASTRAY

TT seems strange that any Republic
can newspaper in California which
Il has aligned itself with the Lin
coin Roosevelt league movement should
be seduced into publishing the weekly
letters sent from Washington by United
States Senator George C. Perkins. All
these letters have been such diaphan-
Gus attacks upon President Roosevelt
and his policies and so clearly intended
to boost Senator Perkins candidacy
for reelection that one glance at them
should enable man to discern their
true character.
We are led to this comment by the
fact that the Redlands Review and
other papers which are generally under
stood to advocate the elimination of the
Herrin machine, including its Washing
ton cogs, have printed some of these
ridiculous literary admixtures of salve,
soothing syrup and oil of vitriol. The
course of these papers naturally is
being followed with keen interest BY the
other anti-Herrin Republican papers.

A MOVING PICTURE

How will the real theater fare when
to a perfected picture device has been
added a perfected talking machine. the
two working in such unison that every
word OF the play will be produced as
perfectly as every action of the players?
Then there will be no indisposltion of
the star to disappoint and no fretfulness
of the leading lady to amuse the public.
After one performance of a drama be-
fore the combined talking and picture
machine a score of cities may enjoy the
same play at the same time.
The educational possibilities of such a
development are apparent Cities far
removed from the present caravan route
of the leading players may share in the
enjoyment of their art. The drama of
the metropolis will cease to exist and
Kokomo and Paducah will have the best
the stage has to offer. All this is within
the bounds of possibility. The moving
picture show is more than a passing
public fancy.-Chicago Evening Post.

DO EGGS SHRINK?

TOW many persons know that the
III shrinkage in the weight of eggs
IL was ever sufficient to make the
question one worthy of consideration
by transportation companies? That it
is, however. is indicated by recent re-
port Of the American consul general at
Barcelona. Spain. who writes to Wash
ington as follows:
1.-THE guild Of dealers in eggs has
protested against the railway table Of
natural shrinkage in weight which had
been drawn up for certain goods when
transported by rail. This society, main
tanning that eggs do not lose in weight
at all. especially in winter, and that
during the summer the maximum loss
can only amount to l per cent, has
proposed proving this by depositing a
case of eggs in a given place for two
months, when the weight, 1t is asserted.
will be found not to have varied. The

CLEAR, CRISP AND CLEAN
MoNoPoLY's CURSE

TN the course of an address which he
delivered recently in a small city
n in western New York, Justice VIM.
J. Gaynor of the supreme court of New
York state vigorously attacked the
modern economic system and denounced
modern Industrial tendencies. In re-
ferring to monopoly, which he charac-
terizea as curse to mankind. he said:
Both morals and law abhor it and
no free people will submit to it. 1t is
means of oppression and debasement
of the many for the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of
the few. 1t enables private fortunes TO
be accumulated, so vast and dishonest
that they provoke general discomfort
and moral protest. This favoritism in
freight rates is the mother of mon
opolies.
"One having the monopoly of fin
;shed product is able, down to a certain
economic point, arbitrarily to fix the
price at which the producer or grower
Of the raw material he uses must sell
it to him, for he is the sole buyer of
such raw material He is also able to
fix the price up to a certain economic
point which he will exact for his finished
product 1t is true that if he fix his
purchase price of such raw material
below such economic point, that is 10
say. below a price which will enable
the producer or grower of such raw
material at least to live, the produce
ton thereof will fall off and its, conse-
quent scarcity raises the price of it.
ION the other hand, If he fix his SELL
ing price of the finished product above
the price that people can pay, his sales
will fall off. But in the wide zone be-
tween these two economic points he
can do as he will. He can put down
the price he pays to the grower or pro-
Queer of the raw material and put up
the price he charges the consumer.
"Monopolies prevent that distribution
of the total product of industry among
the producers thereof, not share and
share alike, but according to the pro-
ductive capacity of each--which it is
the prime object of the government to
secure. They tax and exhaust the many
and create undue wealth in the few
Where monopoly rules overgrown pri-
waite fortunes, which could not be
honestly acquired, become common ana
all the train of evils which follow such
q condition.
Monopoly is an unjust tax on every
member of society and is intolerable
from every point of view. There is no
prejudice against honestly acquired
wealth in this country. 1t is infa-
snously acquired wealth which is under
the ban of the splendid intelligence and
integrity Of the people OF this country"
Although not as specific in his defini-
ton of monopoly as one might wish he
had been, Justice Gaynor nevertheless
has made it plain enough that he re-
CARDS those forms Of monopoly which
srSrinc from an unnecessarily high tariff
as the most vicious. Most other honest
men VINO think have come to the same
conclusion. 1t is the only end which
con be attained by analysis. But all
the eminent jurists in the land who
have not been retained by corporate
monopoly, which reaps it's great profits
from the operation of the tariff, cannot
bulge congress.
