Long Telegram Sent to Speaker Of
California House After 4 Con.
ference at the White
House.

Washington, Feb. 9.--"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 the misguided men who advo-
cate such action as this against which
protest are following q policy which
combines the very minimum Of e..
aoiency with the maximum Of insult
and which, while totally failing 70
achieve any real result for good, vt
might accomplish an infnity Of HARM
In this language President Rocse.
welt Monday in a long telegram 70
Speaker p. A. Stanton, Of the CaN.
fornia assembly, set forth the govern
ment's view of the anti-Japanees
school legislation now before that
body.
The president stated that the bill
gives Just and grave cause for irrita
ton and that the government would
be obliged Immediately to take action
In the federal courts to test such legls-
lation because It is held to be clearly
violation of the treaty obligations
Of the United States. The telegram
to Speaker Stanton was sent only at.
ter conference with Senator Flint
and Representative Kahn of Cali
fornla and F. X. Lane of the Inter
state Commerce commission.
After calling attention to the grave
mischief that may be done by tho
enactment Of such measures as the
school segregation law and referring
the speaker to the many supreme
court decisions upholding the treaty
rights OF alien nations the president
concludes his telegram as follows:
III In the next year or two the
action Of the federal government fails
to achieve what 1t is now achieving,
then through the further action Of the
president and congress It can be made
entirely efficient. am sure that the
sound judgment Of the people Of Cali
eornia will support you, Mr.. Speaker,
In your efforts. Let me repeat that
at present we are actually doing the
very thing which the people Of Cali
lornla wish to be done, and to upset
the arrangement under which this Is
being done can do no good and may
do harm. In the next year or two II
the figures Of immigration prove that
the arrangement which was worked so
during the last six
months is no longer working success
FULLY, then there would be ground for
grievance, and for the reversal by the
national government Of its present
policy. But at present the policy Is
working well and until It works badly
t would be grave misfortune to
,hange 1t, and when changed 1t can
,nly be changed effectively by the ma
ional government"

No Money for Kansas Legislators.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 9.--The mem
bers of the legislature are still buying
their meal tickets out Of their private
funds, unable to bridge over the
breach In the appropriation bill. A
new conference committee was named
late Monday afternoon, but no com
promise is in sight. The senate com
mittee understands 1t Is not to con
eede . point to the demand Of the
house that senate employees be listed
and the senate has decided to hold up
the appropriation bill for new furni.
ture for the house. Two pay days
have passed and many OF the house
members are in great need OF ready
money.

After a weary wait of more than
third of century Captain Jacks
band of Modoc Indians are about to
be permitted to return to their
homes in the Land of the Setting
Sum-" Following their disastrous
warfare on the white settlers in
Oregon in 1874 these Indians were
exiled to the Indian Territory where
they were placed upon the Quapaw
reservation. At that time there
were 271 of them, but before the
year had elapsed the number was
reduced to 1872. By 1877 there
were not more than 112, and at the
present time there are only 49,

Mr.. Cow Man.

The establishment of a first class
creamery in Palmyra may well
mean more to the town than we
now anticipate. A monthly pay
roll of two or three thousand dollars
is a good thing from a business
standpoint, but we have strong
hopes of much larger things. A
friend of ours now living in Califor-
MIA sent us an account of a cream
cry in his town which received
100000 pounds of milk a day. A
creamery receiving that much milk
would have payroll amounting to
over $1,000 a day. This money is
all drawn into the community from
outside sources. The milk men
produce the milk and the people
who use and pay for this milk live
miles away from the town. So
that the creamery money is a clear
addition to. the wealth Of a commu-
