TAFT'S SHIP
SUBSIDY SPEECH

at need not tell you Of the
inadequacy of the American
shipping marine on the Pacific
Coast and Of the growing power
for commercial purposes in this
regard of the Empire Of Japan.
japan is one of the most active
and generous countries in the
matter of subsidies TO its mer-
chant marine that we have, and
the effect is only too visible in
an examination Of the statistics.
For this reason it seems TO me
that there is no subject to which
congress can better devote its
attention in the coming session
than the passage Of a bill which
shall encourage our merchant
marine in such way as TO es-
tablish American lines directly
between New York and other
eastern ports and South Amer
lean ports and between our Pa
ci6c Coast ports and the Orient
and the Philippines. '-Presi-
dent Taft, at Seattle, Sept. 30.

TH|RTY-INCH
ACT IS VALID

Tho fishing boat law, known a. Act
90 Of the Session Laws Of 1907, Is con
stitutional, according TO decision
rendered by Judge De Bolt yesterday
afternoon In the case Of Aatsubarh,
a japanese charged with having VIC
lated the provisions Of the act The
opinion is very important one from
the standpoints both Of the Territory
and Of the japanese
The act in question requires the
payment of license Of five dollars
a year for a fishing boat, and defines q
fishing boat for the purposes Of the
act as any boat used for the purpose of
fishing for profit that has a beam Of
thirty inches or more.
1t was claimed at the time the act
was passed by the legislature that IL
was class legislation, aimed at the
japanese, and this was the ground Of
Matsubara's defense. He admitted the
facts as set forth in the charge, but
offered 10 prove that at the time of
the passage of the act, and ever since,
virtually all of the thirty-inch fishing
boats were owned by japanese, only
three by Chinese and not more than
two by men of other nationalities. On
the other hand, there were and are n
large number Of outrigger canoes hay
ing beam of less than thirty inches,
which are used and have been used
for fishing for profit. These canoes
are owned almost exclusively by native
Hawaiians
The court refused TO admit this evi.
dence. The defendant cOntended that
the act Is unconstitutional In that IL
is in contravention of Sections So and
95 OF the Organic Act which prohibit
special immunities and make the right
Of fisheries in the sea waters of LA.
wall free.
Gives Special Immunities.
The defendant also claimed that the
act il in violation of the fourteenth
amendment TO the Constitution of INC
United States in that il denies equal
protection Of the laws to some people
engaged in fishing for profit and does
not impose the same burden upon 9th
ers Of the same class.
Judge De Bolt in his opinion goei
very thoroughly into the merits OF
these contentious, and concludes, yir
tually, that they have no merit. III
further holds that the defendants con
tention that the principal object OF
the statute is to discourage orientali
from following the occupation of FISH
| ing Is not tenable because the statutc
does not say that that Is its object
and the fact that most Of the fisher
men are orientals Is not sufficient IL
warrant the assumption that thu
statute discriminates against them.
"My conclusion IS, therefore," say
the judge, "that Section l4lsD, Ac
90, Laws of 1907, is constitutional ant
valid, and that the defendant, Matsu
bara, is guilty. The court, therefore
finds the defendant guilty as charged
The defendant is sentenced TO pay
fine of five dollars and costs. Mittimu
accordingly.

today to do her worst. U. ;. DIS
trict Attorney Breckons wants a day
in which TO draw up the indictments
that have already been found, without
being under the necessity Of being in
attendance upon the grand jury, and
this affords a good opportunity to give
Mrs. Atcherley chance to see what

~ HE Taft regime can scarcely be designated a .'young mans admin M istration" in the sense that the A term was used during the Roose
 welt tenure at the White House. Particularly is the changed condition mo- ticeable within the charmed circle of the Cabinet The former president, by the selection of men such as Bacon, Cortel- you, Garfield and Newberry showed a disposition to place power in the hands of men under, rather than over, 90 years of age. President Taft, on the other hand, with a lawyers respect for ripe experience, has recruited a cabinet the average age of which Is nearly 5S years and were it not for the youth of Post master General Hitchcock the baby of the Cabinet, whose 42 years materially reduces the average, the figure would be nigh 60.
 Seldom has a Presidential Cabinet dis closed the range of ages to be seen in the Taft official family. As has been said, the new Postmaster General Is but 42, and Secretary of the Navy Meyer a holdover from the eoterie of compara- lively young men in the Roosevelt cabl- net, is only 51. Secretary Knox Is 50 and Secretary Dickinson and Attorney General Wickersham are each 5s Then comes Secretary Nagel, with his 50, and next in the ascending scale is Secretary MacVeagh, who confesses to CT. Finally, we come to Farmer" James Wilson, whose "A summers make him the dean of the body by virtue of age, as well as in point of continuous service as a cabi- net officer.
 Somewhat in contrast, too, to the pre- ceding Cabinet is the circumstance that most of President Taft's advisers were chosen because of their experience and nttainments rather than because of per sonal relations. Theodore Roosevelt took pleasure in surrounding himself with cronies and old friends, whose identity insured harmony of ideas and ideals So far from exacting any such passports to his Cabinet, the present Chief Magistrate chose some men whom he knew only by reputation, and, indeed, President Taft met some of the members of his official household for the first time when they came to Washington to assume their new

Massachusetts Bay. Incidentally it may be mentioned that some of the most in- fluential senators and representatives In Congress from the Bay State can be de- pended upon to work hard to have Sec retary Meyer retained in the Cabinet so long as he may desire to remain there Explanation: If he were out he might take it into his head to come to Congress from Massachusetts, and that would mean a shake up" in the present delegation.
 Secretary of the Interior.
 Richard A. Ballinger. Secretary of the Interior, is the representative of the Pa cifc Slope in the new Cabinet, and, like almost all the newcomers, he is law yer. Born in Iowa, he, like Secretary Meyer, graduated from Harvard, and then, taking Horace Greeley's advice, he sought the land of opportunity, In the favored Pacific Northwest he literally grew up with the country, and has ever been regarded as one of the leaders of the bar in the Puget Sound country. His qualification of the laws of the State of Washington brought him considerable fame, and he served with distinction as a judge of the Superior Court.
 About five years ago the people of Seat tie, against Judge Ballingers protest, elected him mayor and the thoroughness of the municipal housekeeping which he inaugurated attracted the attention of

longed to the United States. and hence to the President
 certain lunatic few years ago had appeared several times on the White House grounds and conducted himself so strangely that the police decided to look into his case. His answers to their questions were so incoherent and mean fngless that he was seized and searched. A loaded revolver and a box of cartridges were found in his pockets. Along with these was discovered an envelope marked News of General Thoughts" When this envelope was removed from his pocket he manifested the utmost concern and was restrained with difficulty, declar- ing that the information therein con- tained was exclusively his own and that he would guard those precious thoughts with his life
 When Alice Roosevelt's engagement to Representative Nicholas Longworth was announced, a number of these unfortu- mates called at the White House to pre- sent the President various reasons why he should not allow the marriage to be consummated. Over a dozen of these cranks called to see the President for that reason alone during the interval between the engagement and the mar riage of Miss Alice and the Ohio repre- sentative.
 Mir. Roosevelts guards were once con fronted by an old negro who claimed that the President had promised him a place in the United States Diplomatic Corps on April the first, 1906. The old fel- lows choice of date-April Fools Day was of no importance at all and of no significance in his own eyes. He was dressed like a minister. He showed Sec retary Loeb paper which, he said, was his ordination to the ministry and pointed with pride to what he declared to be the signature of a justice of the Supreme Court This document, he claimed, granted him the right to preach the gospel i'll any part of the world. He wanted the President to affix hs sigma ture also. The old fellow was received with the utmost dignity by the Secret Service men and his story was listened to with apparently absolute respect. They informed him that he should be taken immediately to the President, and apcl- ogized for the fact that MT. Roose- welt was then busy at the Capitol with national affairs. They would be pleased to take him right over in carriage. In fact, they promised to use the Presidents own livery. More than that. the great seal of the United States of America should be affixed to his ordination papers. so that none might

people who, he said, were trying to steal his patents guaranteed to revolutionize several prominent American industries. His dress was peculiar, his conversation suspicious and his demands to see the President somewhat alarming Policeman Ciscle, of the White House squad, told him he would usher him into the Presi- dents private office immediately. By this pretense he was led into the guardroom, in the basement of the east front of the White House, and q cab was summoned. Just as the big Swede was being showed into the cab he evidently smelled rat. for he drew a large revolver and opened ire on the officer. His aim was wild, and the bullet inflicted but a slight flesh wound. The policemans recovery was slow, however, as the crank had evident ly prepared the bullet with some sort of poison. After firing the shot the lunatic was overpowered and placed in the sta tion-house. In due time he was sent to the Government Hospital for the Insane, but later taken charge of by some of his friends in the Middle West.
 President Roosevelt's guards were once confronted by two 'woman suffragists" They made the modest demand that the President retire from office immediately in their favor. One of the women had even gone so far as to choose her own cabinet to assist in the discharge of the duties of the Nations Chief Executive Nor would she stop there. The admiral of the Navy should no longer be a man, but woman. The other woman claimed that President Roosevelt had boldly usurped her place as the peoples choice After short incarceration in the Govern ment Hospital for the Insane, both wo- men were sent back to their friends.
 Another type of unwelcome visitor is the man or woman of the inventive mind All of them have inventions that will literally reverse the forces of nature and even change the positions of the sun, the moon and the stars. All of them are more than willing to let the President in on the ground floor of the fabulously capitalized and miraculously successful stock companies they have organized in their own minds. One inventor from Colorado declared he had an invention that would utilize the forces of gravity for almost any purpose Railroads might be run by 1t, automobiles driven, airships kept aloft, millwhee1s turned and manu- facturing plants operated. Outside of the large block of stock he wanted the Presi- dent to take, he begged the Chief Execu- tive to compel the Commissioner of Pat ents to grant him a patent on his in- vention f

legal cases the new head of the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor remarked quietly that he had always prided himself in keeping his clients out of the courts. That was what they paid him for, as he construed It. Something of the same un- obtrusive efficiency may be expected to characterize Secretary Nagel's administra- tion of the newest branch of the govern ment, and one which just now has jurls- diction over many questions of vital i'm portance to the welfare of the nation.
 The appointment of Secretary Nagel, alike to that of Secretary Ballinger, was in a measure attributable to record of accomplishment established during the last Presidential Campaign and the pre- liminary canvass for the nomination. Secretary Nagel, who is a native of Texas, but chose St. Louis as the scene of his legal career, has been gradually forging his way ahead in politics for some years past. He was president of the St. Louis city council for four years and then became a member of the state legis- lature. During the Roosevelt administra- tion he worked hard to bring Missouri into the Republican camp, and he it was who won the Missouri vote for Taft in the nominating convention at Chicago. During the campaign that ended last No yember he was much of the time in charge of the Western headquarters of the Republican National Committee at Chicago, and at the same time devoted considerable attention to the Missouri situation. Secretary Nagel is an excep- tionally welleducated man, having had the benefit of a special course in the University of Berlin. He has been for years past one of the professors at the St. Louis Law School and is trustee of the public library and also the museum of fine arts.

has been at the head of the Department of Agriculture that President Taft con cluded that he could not do better than retain the man who might almost be de- nominated the father of this branch of our government Consequently Secretary Wilson when he retires will do with record of longer service in the Presi- dential Cabinet than any other man in the history of the nation.
 Secretary Wilson is the only member of President Taft's official family who is not native of the United States He is Scotchman and came to this country when lad of IT. His parents settled In Connecticut but three years later the young man removed to Iowa and set out to carve his own career as a farmer. Inci- dentally he got into politics being elected to the state legislature for several success siye terms, and ultimately being chosen speaker of the Iowa House of Representa- tiyes. Then he came to Congress and served several years, and finally for a con siderable interval before entering the Cab inet he was professor of agriculture at the Iowa Agricultural College and director of the Agricultural Experiment Station. Thus he gained both practical and theoretical knowledge of farming which fostered that broad,s progressive policy which has made our governmental Depart ment of Agriculture one of the most won derful institutions in the world.
 Secretary of Commerce and Labor.
 Charles Nagel. the new Secretary of Commerce and Labor, is a lawyer and a graduate of Yale. It might be suspected that these qualifications alone might be almost sufficient to explain his presence in the Taft Cabinet. but they by no means make up the sum total of Secretary Nagers assets. When man untactfnlly remarked, recently, in the hearing of the Secretary. that he had never seen Mir Nagels name mentioned in connection with any famous

 Secretary of the Navy.
 George Von Lengerke Meyer. who was promoted from Postmaster General under Roosevelt to be Secretary of the Navy under Taft, is one of the few men in the present Cabinet who can lay claim to En legal training Instead, he belongs to that increasingly numerous class of Americans of which the late Mark Hanna was conspicuous exampe-shrewd, capable business men, who, having ex- hausted the thrills of the business world. turn to politics for new sensations. Of course, a plentiful surplus of this worlds goods is necessary for the citizen who would thus enter statecraft by the short cut, but on this score Secretary Meyer suffers no handicap, his own fortune hay ing been augmented by his marriage to the former Miss Alice Appleton.
 Secretary Meyer comes of an old New England family; he Is a graduate of liar yarf, and Boston has been home to him all his life. His political career started as a member of the Boston Common Council and in due course he became speaker of the lower house of the Mas sachusetts legislature, using in that ca pdCllg II puHutIouS Olu ueshf MulCu uc has since had removed to Washington and installed for his departmental work.
