 MULT|PL|ES .In Behalf Of the Railroad
 Emp|oyes ALL THE ORDERS AROUSED Strong Letters Coming in From Business Men Pro- testing Against Enactment of the Proposed Railroad Legislation.
ALL THE ORDERS AROUSED

Representatives of organizations of railway employees and kindred or all lied unions, as well as of unorganized labor, who came here last week to pro- test against any disturbing railway legislation have been busy getting their views before the members of the legislature and at the same time they have been awakening an interest in the subject among fellow employees in ev- cry part of the territory
 Telegrams have been sent out to all the lodges and letters have been writ ten and telegrams have been sent to merchants and business men. The re- sponse has already been generous. It is expected that this morning addition al petitions will be received from the lodges of the various orders at Yuma, Benson, Douglas and Globe, when practically the voice of every railroad worker in the territory will have found expression.
 When w. L. Fox arrived from Pres colt the other day he brought with him a protest against the railroad bills signed by nine-tenths of the business men of Prescott. Mayor Goldwater, Reese NJ. Sing and others. The south has been heard from in reply to letters and telegrams. F. R. McDaniel. rep resenting the Order of Railway Train men at Tucson. as well as the allied organizations. has a large number of letters from Tucson business men ad dressed to Joint Councilman Finley. Among the firms which have joined with the railroad employees in the pro test are the Harry A Drachman Shoe Company, George F. Kilt of w. F. Kilt & Sons and president of the chamber of commerce, The Smith Sporting Goods Company, The Arizona Savings and Investment Company, Alexander ROssi, Campbell 6 Smith Consolidated Lumber Company. George T. Fisher, Albert Steinfeld 6 Com pany. Lee, Drachman & Price, Bran nen & Hanney, Fred Fleischman. and the Tucson Electric Light and Power Company.
 These letters will be presented to the council committe at the hearing this afternoon.
 The letters from the business men are more than formal. They offer reasons of their own why such legisla- tion as has been proposed would be hurtful For instance. Harry Drachman of Tucson believes>it would mean a reduction of the number of trains. The following are brief extracts from few of the letters:
 George F. Kilt: 'I am opposed to any action being taken at this time"
 Campbell & Smith: While we want everything we can get to help the ter ritory we earnestly plead with you to use every effort to defeat any bills that would conflict with our interests and the interests of labor and capital"
 Consolidated Lumber Company: We believe if these bills become laws a great hardship will be worked upon the railroad companies of Arizona, as well as upon the wage earner. We ap- peal to you to use every effort possi-

le to prevent the passage of these

ble to prevent the passage of these bills"
 Albert Steinfeld: q believe that un- der the existing laws any such act (the proposed legislation) would be il- legal and therefore no good results can come therefrom"
 There is a petition signed by every business man and practically every male citizen of Winslow.t
 In addition there is a petition from Douglas signed by more than 160 men, the list embracing every business man in the place, who realize that if the re- suit of the legislation should be dis astrous to the railroad men it would be so to them also.
 It has from time to time. since the arrival of the representatives in Phoe- nix, been stated and printed that they were really representing the railroads and that their expenses were being paid by the roads, That that is not a fact will be shown by a compilation of acknowledgements by the different lodges of the territory of their pro rata due for expenses of the delegates.
 One of them, speaking last night of the situation, said that this is the first time that the members of any of the orders ever had occasion to come be- fore the legislature for or against any public measure, for this is the first time that they thought they saw a blow aimed at themselves. He added that as a result it would launch or ganized labor in Arizona in politics hencefOrth.

General Manager Cox Will Speak of his Wrongs in a Day or Two.

Tacoma, Feb. S.-So weak>-was the condition of T. A. Cox, general man ager of the Arizona and Pittsburg Mining and Smelling company of Tue son, Ariz., today that visitors and re- porters were denied admission to his room at St. JOseDh's hospital. It is said that he hopes to receive visitors in a few days.

Asked last night if he would give the name of the ship on which he had been so long, he replied that he did not know the ships name. The ship will land at San Francisco again was all he would say.
 If my friends and the public have been able to wait severaf weeks to learn the details of my disappearance, they can now wait another day." he said.

ATTACK MAY BEGIN TODAY
New Commission Bill Brought Into the House--Two Pro- posals to Reduce the Re- numerat!on of Precinct Officers.

It will be unnecessary for Governor Kibbey to take any action whatever on the bills passed by the legislature for the repeal of the laws creating the Arizona rangers and the public examiner He has been forestalleG in this matter by one J. J. Sanders of Prescott from whom a letter was received yesterday by Hon. NJ. G. Burns, and read in the council, fully approving all of this legislation. And MT. Sanders knows what legislation
 is when he sees 1t even 130 miles away He was once a legislator him. self. The approving letter of MT. Sanders was written on the station cry of Joe F. Dillon, who happens to be the head of the democratic ter ritorial committee which is supposed to have cooked up all this legislation. Perhaps a letter might be written by MT. Dillon himself, commenting the committees program for the legis- lature.
 At the conclusion of the reading Mir. Breen asked MT. Burns if he had any other letters which he would like to have read, having in mind thereby roasts which have been re- ceived by members of the caucus from their constituents.
 The newspapers which have criti- cized these bills are catalogued by MT. Sanders as the "maudlin press He closes with the suggestion that the legislature create a new office, the county press censor" It is presumed that MT. Sanders expects this to become d caucus measure.

California and Franklin Lane, in terState commerce. cnnrnissioner

California and Franklin v Lane, in terstate commerce commissioner.
 In the letter the president also said:
 'I trust there will be no misunder- standing of the federal governments attitude. We are zealously endeavor- ing to guard the interests of California and the entire west in accordance with the desires of our western people. By friendly agreement with Japan we are now carrying out a policy which, while meeting the interests and desires of the Pacific slope, is yet compatible not merely with mutual self-respect but with mutual esteem and admiration between Americans and Japanese.
 The Japanese government is loyal ly and in good faith doing its part to carry out this policy, precisely as the American government is doing. The policy aims at mutuality of obligation and behavior
 "In accordance with it the purpose is that the Japanese shall come here exactly as Americans go to Japan, which is in effect that travellers, stu dents, persons engaged in international business, men who sojourn for pleas ure or study, and the like, shall have the freest access for one country to the other and shall be sure of the best treatment, but that there shall be no settlement in a mass by the people of either country in the other
 During the Last six months under this policy, more Japanese have left the country than have come in, and the total number in the United States has diminished by over 2000. These figures are absolutely accurate and reed not be impeached
 'But such a bill as this school bin accomplishes literally nothing what ever in the line of the object aimed at and gives just and grave cause for irritation; while in addition the Unit ed States government would be obliged immediately to take action in the fed eral courts to test such legislation, as we hold it to be clearly a violation of the treaty.
 This legislation would accomplish nothing beneficial and would certainly cause some mischief and might cause very grave mischief"

THE PRESIDENTS LETTER.

Washington. Feb. S.-The policy of the administration is to combine the maximum of efficiency in achieving the real object which the people of the Pacific slope have at heart with the minimum of friction and trouble, while misguided men who advocate such ac- tion as this against which protest are following the policy which. combines the very minimum of efficiency with the maximum of insult and which, while totally failing to achieve any real result for good. yet might accomplish an infinity of harm"
 In this language President Roosevelt in a long telegram to Speaker Stanton of the California assembly set forth today the governments view of the Japanese school bill.
 The president states that the bill gives just cause for irritation, and that the government would be obliged inn mediately to take action in the federal courts to test such legislation, because it is held to be clearly a violation of the treaty obligations of the United States.
 The telegram to Speaker Stanton was sent after a conference with Sen ator Flint and Representative Kahn of

NEW RAILROAD BILL.

Washington, Feb. S.-The railroad companies must show that changes in the rates and rules and regulations proposed by them are just and reason able before being able to put such changes in effect, if the bill which has been introduced by Representative Needham of California is enacted into a law. The bill amends the act to regulate commerce so as to give the shippers every opportunity to receive fair treatment with regard to in ereases in rates. By its provisions the interstate commerce commission in it's discretion may issue an order cOntin- uing the existing rates and rules whenever changes are proposed, until a hearing has been held and a decision rendered by the commission. This gives the shippers the right to file a protest against any proposed changes within thirty days after the notice of such changes.

MIR. KAHN WITH ROOSEVELT
President Writes Another and a Stronger Letter to the Speaker of the Assem- ply Further Protesting Against School Bill.

Washington Feb. S.-One of the mat ters before a conference at the White House today between the president and Senator Flint and Congressman Kahn was a letter which President Roosevelt has written to Speaker Stanton of the lower house in the legislature. This letter. which was mailed this after noon and later will be made public here, sets forth the attitude of the administration as to the anti-Japanese legislation and reiterates the 'unwis dom and inoppOrtunness of action of any kind at this time.'
 MT. Kahn declined to discuss his in terview with the president but it is understod that he suggested to his col leagues in congress that time should be given to Japan to test her ability to keep her coolie labor out of the United States. He urged that if the result should be a failure on the part of Japan there would be time enough to act during the approaching special session of congress.
 During the day the entire California delegation in the house with the ex- ception of MT. McLachlin, met at luncheon and discussed the Japanese situation to a greater or lesser extent and it is stated upon the authority of those present that MT. Kahn was the only member in attendance who mani- fested an inclination to support the ad- ministrations attitude toward the states action on the Japanese question It was apparent that while the dele gation was disposed to be conserva- tive. it's sympathies were largely with California's efforts to keep the Jap anese out by means of state legislation, if it was not done bv the action of the federal government.
 Members of the delegation declare that large numbers of Japanese are coming into the United States by way of Mexico and Canada.

Here is an observation from Car
lyle: AN misery is faculty mis-
directed-strength that has not yet
found its way" This is undoubtedly
true All suffering and failure can
be traced back to one getting out of
the true path. 1t may not sometimes
be ones fault. Ignorance or envir-
onment may intervene and lead us
astray But all progress consists in
one finding the true way of ones
strength; to see that the faculty is
rightly directed.
Finding this path is the end of
knowledge and civilization. This
means doing the right thing physical
ly. mentally, morally; Obeying Gods
law. that's it; thai is all there is to
it. That is what keeps the strength
and faculty intact and makes life
worth living The perfectest mortal
is the one whose faculty is right
ly directed and whose strength has
found its way. 1t is that that makes
the true, manly, useful. happy life;
that makes the life last longer and
keeps it sweet and wholesome while
it lasts.-Ohio State Journal.
