President Much Exercised
Over Nevada's Anti-Jap-
aneSe Outbreak.
TALKS MATTER OVER
WITH HIS CALLERS
Feared That Idaho Viii Fal Into
Line-Recalls Federal
Interference.

President Roosevelt is very mu1h ex-
eTCiged over the anti-J a5anese out
break in the Nevada Legislature.
He discussed the latest phase OF the
situation with a number OF hi8 Con
gressiOnal callers today, particularly
members of the Idaho delegation Al
though he is firm in the belief that the
people Of California will not be torn
from their present mOOrings. il is un-
derstoOd that he has communicated with
Governor GilIett, and is awaiting Of
hciaI advices as to the effect that the
Nevada outbreak has had upon the
California legislature
The President recalled to his Idaho
callers the fact that several years ago
the Federal Government preserved law
and order I'm Nevada through the
agency OF tho United States troops,
uDOn the urgent request and later de
mand OF the governor. lie told his
callers that IL comes with very bad
grace FOR the Legislature of q State
which was thus aided. now to coutem-
plate any criticism upon the Federal
Government for merely using it's good
offices with California to prevent the
possible rupture Of good relations he
tween this Government and that of
Japan.
Former Mayor Phelan.
Among his callers today was former
Mayor PheIan, Of san Francis 20.
They discussed the latest phase of the
auti-Japauese situation, and the Presi-
dent was Eratided to receive PheIan's
assurances that the Legislature OF that
state would likely ignore Nevada's ef-
fort 90 STIR up q trouble that had been
temporarily adjusted
A dlsquletng phase of thN situation
IS the probability that Idaho may add
TO the agitation. Members OF Congress
from that State say the people OF
Idaho are very much wrought up over
the influx OF Japanese.

the White House nat tho California

as outlined by the President ia his
recent comm .Illicatiou TO Governor Gil
lett and AssembIymau Drew.
PhrlaU did aOt care to quote the Pres
identl but me admitted that he was most
deeply interested IN the situation and
that he had taken steps TO be constant
y advised as TO the developments.
One OF the Presidents Congressional
callers today attempted % minimize the
importance OF any anLi-JapaHese action
that might he taken by such a small
State as Nevada. The President quickly
reminded him that some such impression
as lnaL existed before the civil war.
when there was talk OF South Carolina
seeding from the Union, and he re-
marked that tr W-S not always tho
largest Commonwealth that caused a ma
tiOn tire greatest amount OF trouble.
The Nevada situation was one Of the
topics discussed at tOday's Cabinet
meeting.

Sioux City Tribune: The Hon. d.
M. Harris of Missouri Valley, is the
patriarch Of newspaper men in Iowa,
and in recent issue of his paper, the
Missouri Valley Times, he gives few
words in explanation Of why he is still
with us. They are modestly uttered,
but nevertheless filled with valuable
information. He remembered his crea-
tor in, the days of his youth and has
kept right along at it and SO, accord
ing to the promise, he is living long in
"the land which the Lord thy God
giveth.'
This is the way Mr.. Harris says IT.:
We are asked. almost daily, how we
manage to retain our good health and
apparent youth to the good old age of
lightweight years. We have no par
ticular formula for extending life, but
think 1t is more the goodness of God
than any effort of ours. We recognize
the law that gives the life of man to
three score years and ten GO years.,
but for cause may be extended.

RESULTS AT LEAvENWoRTH.

Confronted with reduced revenues
the city of Leavenworth adopted the
commission plan of local government
such as 1t is proposed to institute IN
Keokuk. Results to date have been
highly satisfactory. The city attorney
Of Leavenworth is thus quoted in the
Kansas City Star:
HE declares that city finances are
already so much improved that public
improvements are being made that
were impossible under the old system.
and the money comes from legitimate
sources. Taxes have even been re-
duced. Rental property is SO scarce,

1t is certainly worth trial. We divide

The Vinton Eagle and the Du-
buque Times are afraid that Senator
Dolliver is little "wobbly" on the
tariff. The Cedar Rapids Republican
thinks those papers will find that the
senator has not changed his views at
all on protection. 1t says:
1--WE have had many talks with the
senator during the past ten years, or
since the Dingley law was enacted and
he has always talked substantially Just
as he spoke in the senate the other
day The fact that the senator may
want duty changed from a. per
cent to 40 per cent instead of to As
per cent that is downward rather
that upward. does not mean that he
has ceased to believe in the great prin
ciples of the protective tariff"

most satisfactory arrangement yet de-
vised for the purpose. It's chief advan-
tages are concentration Of authority
and responsibility, simplicity, efficien-
cy, economy and honesty. These are
prime requisites and entitled to great
weight in determining the matter OF a
change. From all the information at
hand Keokuk would do well to adopt
the commission plan as soon as the
matter can be brought to vote.

The Next Legislature.

The next session of the Kentucky
General Assembly, which will con-
vene in the new Capitol at Frank
fort the first week in January, will
be mainly conspicuous by the small
number of Republicans who will as
sist in making up the body. Com
plete returns from every one of the
1873 senatorial and legislative dis
tricts show that the Democrats will
have 60 majority on joint ballot.
The political division in each branch
is as follows:
Democrats-Senate, 26; House.
rs; total, 80.
Republicans Senate, II; House,
81; total, 80.
At the recent election the Demo-
Gratis were successful in each of the
nineteen holdover districts, which
will give them a decided advantage
in the session of 1912, as at the
elections in 1911 the Democrats will
only have to elect one Senator out
OF the nineteen to be chosen at
at that time to control the upper
branch of the 1912 session, when a
