THE ROMANCE OF MISS EMERY
AND AOKL

Have we another japanese complica-
tion on our hands as a result OF the
wooing of Helen Gladys Emery by the
Oriental Romeo, Aoki?
II would appear from the San Fran
cisco dispatches that the pair and the
T. other OF the young woman have been
obliged 20 leave their homes In Cali
fornia as q consequence of the unwel-
come attentions OF their neighbors fol-
lowing the announcement of the engage
ment of the young woman TO marry
They have fed to the extreme North
west hoping to find a friendly com
nunity where they may make their
home in peace.
Is such longing 10 he realized Hark
TO the words of the worthy Fitzgerald,
district attorney of Portland, Oregon:
IF the Emery woman parades the
streets here with her Jap, / have given
orders 10 the police to arrest them
and / will find a way TO send them TO
Jail" This is a sentiment not likely to
be received with banzais in Tokyo.
As hostile but more nearly Just is
the utterance of Mayor Link, of Ia
coma:
Personally / am opposed to Ameri-
cans marrying Asiatics, but so long as
these people act in a lawabiding man
ne they are entitled to protection. And
if they come here to be married, | will
see 10 it that no hostile demonstrations
against them shall be made"
1t is an old question, this Of the inter.
marriage of races and one which never
fails TO arouse hostility. Shakespeare
did not reveal the real opposition of
BrsDantio TO the Moor, but everyone
understands it. Here in the East, the
problem has not the imminence it pos

ALDRICH GUARDS HABITS.

Senator Adrich of Rhode Island the
Republican boss OF the Senate, and the
man who is framing the real tariff bill.
is not always engaged in running the
Senate and in exploring the facts about
some matter Of revenue or OF banking
and currency. The Rhode Island Sen
atCT is fond OF society and il n frequent
guest at some of the smartest OF the
smart functions in Washington, as he Is
also a liberal entertainer himself
Senator AldTich is no longer d spring
chicken. being nearly sixty-eight years
old He is, however, eXcellently preserV-
ed and is as active as man Of fifty.
How does Aldrich stand itg' IS a
question often asked about the Capitol.
The answer IS that, IN spite of the
fact he does a great amount OF hard
work, the Rhode Island Senator does
little worrying. and that while he sees
much OF the social side OF life in
Washington he is careful in his habits
and is abstemiOus in his eating and
drinking In other words, he knows
how to take care of Aldrich as well as
ne does 10 manage the Senate.

Achilles.

CANNON'S LONG DRIVE.

Uncle Joe" Cannon, seventy-three.
and erstwhile shiny champion OF
Danville. H., is thinking of going In for
golf The education of Vice President
Jim Sherman in the game by President
Taft has excited in Uncle Joe's breast
an ambition 10 take a try on the links
himself.
The Speaker has handled a golf club
only once in his life. That was during
the Portland Exposition, when a cOvey
OF pretty girls got him TO take whailOp
at a little white golf ball. l. White
Bushey the Speakers secretary, is
authority for the statement that he hit
that ball more than twenty or IhIrty
miles. 1t SKINNED over Mt. Rainier. or
some other place much further than the
nineteenth hole ever looked 10 a con-
6rmed gOlfist-
That record at golf playing, the Speak
er opined, would give him a place I'm
history alongside OF John y. Rookie
feller and Andrew Carnegie. He posi-
lively refused TO take a second try,
fearing he'd ''fOOZle-"
But the call of the Chevy Chase links
is being heard above the popular roar
for tariff revision. and Speaker Cannon
may 90 in for the game. He has been
told that cigars and golf are compatible.
The Speaker never nad much OF a de-
sire for tennis under the Roosevelt Ad-
ministratiOn. In the first place ne
aII'' and love forty were as myster-
ious 10 him as some of Asher II H.nds'
parliamentary preCedents- But with Colf
IL is different He Is well equipped with
the language OF the game, and If the
Vice President is to enter the Taft Golf
Cabinet why not your Uncle Joe?
Secretary BLsbey was asked today If
the Speaker Is contemplating the pUr-
chose Of golf sticks.
"I haven't heard IT." murmured Bus
hey.
But that isn't a denial, because Mr..
Busbey is equipped with a heavy pair
Of ear muffs.

WHERE MAN SHOWS TO FULL
AND FINE ADVANTAGE.

! There have been many reasons, good,
| bad, and Indifferent, advanced against
women interesting themselves in pol
itics. For one thing it has been said
that persons who permit themselves to
BE- dominated so completely by the edict
Of fashion plate do not show a gasp
of the essential fitness of things and
the COOL calm self-control that war
rants belief that they would go about
voting with discretion.
In a talk before a womsn's club a
few days ago a woman protested
against this thralldom and said, for one,
she would submit to it no longer. But
the chances are that she will. We
know 'em.
In this instance the lecturer had been
abroad, and, as long gloves were the
fashion, laid in a supply in order to
evade high prices on this side. To her
surprise and indignation she finds that
the dressmaker has gone back to long
sleeves this year and only short gloves
are to be worn. OF course. women say
that they will not heed orders of this
sort, but men observe that in course of
time they succumb.
Take the matter of hats as another
demonstration OF slavery. What is to
become of the merry Widows?" If the
hatmakers had put their heads together
TO devise something that would put the
Merry Widow on the toboggan, they
could not have done it better than by
the hat to which they have given their
approval. Can you beat itf Result
every woman has on her hands all the
way from SIS to $3.50 worth of hat that
is not worth house room. 1t does not
seem possible to denature it and reor-
GInize the resultant into the shape of
the reigning head ornament The aim
of the milliners seems to have been to
put out something that could not very
well be manufactured at home with the
aid of the neighbors.
Aeceding to tyranny Of this kind is
rather good evidence that woman would
take kindly to boss government. On the
other hand, look at mans absolute dis
regard OF the fashion plate.
Nine out of ten of them do not know
when the fashion changes. Man lets
the tailor attend to that part of it. Now
and then announcement is made that
clothes will be so much unlike those of
last year that no well-dressed man can
afford to be without the new styles
But right in the face of this edict about
ninety nine out of every hundred men
wear pretty much what they please
without caring a continental for the
rIle laid down by somebody else
It's the same way with hats. Occa-
sionally there Is a great to-do about a
reformation that is to be worked in the
shape or the color Of mems hats 1t
doesn't feaze the general run of man
kind The average member of the
species will decline to come into the
jackpot. He will see somebody shall
we say further" as Mr. Venus re-
marked before accepting somebody's tip
to come up and invest his spare money
III a new lid. In consequence he has
the haberdasher and the hat man and
the clothier beat to a frazzle." The
game must be run his way or he is not
in it. 1t beats the plan of letting some
body else tell you what TO wear and
how and when to wear it all to pieces,
as women will discover if they try it.
