TOM LONGBOAT
BEST SHRUBB

Tom Longboat won the Marathon
race with Alfred Shrubb, the English
runner, the latter falling in a heap
after leading for twenty-four miles.
The race took place in Madison Square
Garden, New York.
1t was the greatest Marathon race
of the century. For twenty miles the
Englishman raced the big Indian into
the ground, and ran himself into a
state of collapse in an attempt to gain
eight laps. He gained them but at
the cost of every spark OF stamina IN
his body, and as he staggered from the
track a beaten man at the end of the
fifth lap in the twenty-fourth mile,
Tom Longboat came plodding down the
stretch, running as well as he had done
at any stage of the game.
If pluck could have won the race it
would have gone to the Englishman.
But man must have Marathon legs
to go the route, and Shrub did not
have them.

The people of Nevada have reason
to find fault with the demagogues in
their Legislature who, to speak brut-
ally but truthfully, have made their
state a laughing stock in two CONT
nents. The one advantage of the fero-
cious outbreak of the Nevada legisla-
tors is that it is causing the whole
anti-Japanese crusade to dissolve in a
general burst of laughter The people
of Nevada will perhaps hereafter be
more careful in their choice of legisla-
tors
There is the same objection in Ne
vada that exists here to the immigra-
ton and settlement of Oriental labor
ers but there is a time for all things,
or at least for most things, and just
at present is the time for keeping per-
fectly still about Japanese immigra-
ton. There is no law to prevent their
coming here by the million ii they

eminent, nor is there the slightest
chance, at present, of our getting such
a law. They are kept out or nearly
kept out by the courtesy OF the Jap
anese Government in refusing to issue

is not under the slightest obligation
to continue to refuse passports to It's
people to go wherever they please, and
should it be irritated into returning to
that policy Japanese will come to the
United States by the shipload without
the slightest regard to the wishes or

Pacific Coast This being an exact
statement of the situation, ordinary
plain common sense will indicate to all
endowed, with that useful attribute the
propriety of keeping perfectly silent
on the Japanese question for a year
or two, until we see what the news is
going to be, as Uncle Remus would
say;

THE COMMITTEES OF CONGRESS

Especial Correspondence of The Starr
WASHINGTON, d. c., February s.
When the 61st Congress assemblies IN
extra session about the middle of next
month, Joseph g. Cannon of Illinois
will be reelected Speaker of the House
virtually without opposition. There
may be a few Republicans of the
pledged type who will foolishly vote
against him, but their number will be
insignificant. And yet during the heat
of the campaign last fall there was ali
manner of talk of overthrowing I'm
Gle Joe" and electeing some progress
sive" as Speaker OF the House
The reelection of Cannon to the
Speakership means that Cannon Will
select all committee chairmen, and
make all Republican committee assign
ments. And already the willy Mr.
Cannon has given this matter much
| Thought Members of the pre- ent
| House who will be members of the
next have made many pilgrimages to
| the Speakers room, making plain their
preferences and their desires. Some
have received assurances; others have
| been left in doubt, but to all his callers
Mr. Cannon, with solemn countenance,
has said that mot having been elected
Speaker of the next House, he cannot
promise, let alone consider committee
matters at this early day
| H. y, full
ganize the House at the opening of the
special session, Speaker Cannon will
announce his list of committees in a
remarkably short time after the ses-
sion opens.
An unusually large number of big
committee chairmanships in the House
will become vacant on the 4th OF
March, due to the defeat of some
of the most prominent Republicans In
the popular branch of Congress. Ii
the Speaker, in filling these vacancies,
should adhere strictly to the rule OF
seniority, he would be obliged to place
important committees in the hands OF
men of very limited ability. Because
of this fact, it is generally presumed
that in some instances, at least, the
Speaker will select his chairman OF
merit, rather than according to Sc
niority.
The most conspicuous case where the
seniority rule would work havoc is IL
the committee on Rivers and Harbors
Representative Burton of Ohio, presen
chairman of that committee, goes
the Senate. Under the seniority rule
Representative Alexander the mex
ranking Republican member OF thu
committee, would become chairman
But Alexander is not big enough, broaC
enough or sufficiently capable to handle
that committee as it should be run
in fact there is no member on it WIFI
can fill the craftsmanship as ably a
Burton. Only one member of the Ri
yer and Harbor committee, as now con
stituted, is really eligible for the chair
manship, Representative Davidson o
Wisconsin, but if he were promoted, n
would have to jump, over two senlo
members, and that would cause trou
BILE 1t is quite likely that a man no

now on that committee may be chosen
to succeed Burton, and in that event, .
Representative Mann Of Illinois is a
very probable selection. He is equal
to the task.
Representative Mann is one Of the
very able members of the House. and
if he is not chosen chairman Of the
River and Harbor committee, is likely
to succeed Hepburn as chairman OF In
terstate Commerce. He is not ranking
member of that committee; Congress- |
man Wanger of Pennsylvania is in line
with Mann next. But it is admitted
that interstate commerce legislation IS
to assume unusual Importance during
the next Congress, and for that reason
the Speaker may decide to make Mann
chairman of the Interstate Commerce
Committee, in view of his COmprehen-
sive knowledge of railroad affairs.
There is a remote possibility that this
craftsmanship might be left open, In
case Representative Hepburn should
bring a contest against the Democrat
who defeated him, but this is not prob
able.
II seems to be the popular belief
around the House that the Speaker VIII
punish Representative Fowler Of New
Jersey by depriving him of the chair
manship of the Banking and Currency
Committee. Fowler is the member
who addressed personal letter to
every Republican member Of the House
soliciting his support for the Speaker
ship against Cannon, and. Fowler has
been most offensive with his fight on
Cannon. If the Speaker decides TO
punish Mr.. Fowler, he will have to go
outside the present committee for a
chairman, for there is not a member on
the list equipped to preside over that
little body. Considering its import
ance. it has as poor membership as any
committee in the House, due. no doubt
to the fact that it was dead commit
tee until the pants of 1907 came upon
the country. 1t is now live one, and
promises to become important There
fore, it may be completely reorganized;
it ought to be.
There are four other important
chairmanships to be filled, Foreign At
fairs, Indian Affairs, judiciary and Post
, Offices. In each of these cases the RUE
Of seniority will probably govern, ror
good men are in line, and there is no
apparent reason why the ranking mem
o bers should not be promoted. Cousins
of Iowa will be succeeded by Perkins
of New York, as chairman Of Foreign
Affairs; Sherman, who becomes Vice
President, will be succeeded by Knapp
of New York as chairman of Indian
, Affairs; Jenkins OF Wisconsin viii
give way to Parker of New Jersey al
, the head of the judiciary committee
and Gardner of New Jersey will sue
coed Overstreet as chairman of Posi-
= Offices-if the rule is followed. There

r looks now as if the customary ruit

The Cocaine Peril.

The evil wrought by the abuse OF CO.
caine in the United States has been a
topic OF much discussion and not a few
warnings by conventions, State and na-
tional, Of medical men and OF boards OF
health. But the harm continues. despite
various local attempts to regulate the
sale and use Of the drug. The contra
band traffic persists in some drug stores
in large cities. and the American Health
League discovers that its pernieious con
sumption has increased greatly among
the negroes Of the South where the
habit threatens serious ravages upon
health and life unless It IS checked.
The proposition Is advanced that na-
tional legislation is needed 70 thwart

out that the danger is Of wide social
range. as purchases have been increas-
ing. not only in the slums Of cities. but
among a clientele that holds itself far
aloof from contact with the neither

1t would seem that such regulation IS
practicable. without hampering the proper
employment Of cocaine in medicine and
surgery. The availability OF the drug FOR
such legitimate use as the alienation or
prevention OF pain, now grown frequent
and familiar in the dentists chair and in
more serious operations, should not be
lessened. The subject-matter merits the
expert attention and advice that it Is
receiving.

Cotton Schedule Revised Inward.

The response Of the Senate to the policy
Of ''statesmanlke Cancellation" which
Secretary Macveagh SAYS has been pur-
sued by the administration may be read In
the adoption Of the cotton schedule with
its imposition of new and higher duties
upon a considerable range Of importa-
tions. IT is talking against the wind TO
argue that the revision expected Is not
revision down." Mr.. AIacVeagh thinks;
but in the Senate the view taken by
majority of the Republicans Is that what
ever Mr. Taft may have promised and
whetever the people who elected him may
have hoped for, Congress is not bound by
these promises and expectations. Acting
upon this view. the Senate organization
has revised the tariff so far with su-
preme disregard Of the popular expecta-
tion. to which Mr.. Taft gave encourage
ment in his campaign speeches, particu-
larly in the Middle West.

There was no necessity or open demand

ings before the House Ways and Means
Committee the cotton cloth nanufactur-
ers plainly declared their satisfaction
with the prevailing rates OF duty. Yet
before the bill was reported TO the House
they sent a communication TO the com
mittee asking for the Incorporation Of a
provision relating to the counting Of
threads, the effect of which would be to
increase the duties on certain kinds OF
goods by transferring them 70 classifca-
tions carrying higher rates OF duty. These
paragraphs were Incorporated IN the

In recent years there has been a marked

been 70 combine education OF the physique

has proved in actual practice much easier
TO demonstrate athistic rather than in

fact that the sporting field always has ap-
pealed with greater force to the general
public than the classroom, It has fol-

ton OF the imDortstions. Otherwise the
Dingley rates were untouched. The
counting provision was stricken out in the
House on the ground that it surrepti-
tiOusly raised duties.
The cotton schedule thus reached the
Senate with an increase Of duty amount-
ing to but cent a square yard on mer-
cerized fabrics. To this increase the
Senate Finance Committee has added
others by means OF new cIassihcations,
the imposition OF specific instead OF ad
valorem duties. and the reinsertlon OF the
counting provision in a slightly modified
form. The explanations given Of the
Senate changes have been elusive. equivo-
cal, uncandid. and generally unsatisfac-
tory. Probably there has never been in
the history Of tariff legislation such an
effort TO mislead the Senate and the
country as that Of the proponents OF the
Senate cotton schedule. To the skill.
courage. and energy Of Senators La Fol-
lette and Dolliver is due q most complete
and conclusive exposure Of the facts. and
these demonstrate beyond controversy
that the Senate cotton duties are far
higher than the DingIey duties in dozens
Of instances. and that they propose a
measure OF protection totally uncalled for
by any conditions in the cotton industry.
Mr.. La Follettes opinion is that the
greater part OF the importations under
the cotton schedule rs affected by the IN
creases. while it is absolutely certain
that they will affect at least $lo.0eo,o0O Of
imports. while the decreases-for there
are some decreases-affect imports
amounting to but $4,000 Thus. as Sem
ator La Toilette has said, the increases
are genuine, but the decreases merely
nominal.
An arrogant triumph has been won by
the protected interests IN the Senate. But
is It a triumph for the Republican party
or for the administration, which unpro-
testingly allows the prediction pledges
OF its chief and the hopes OF his sup
porters to be iouted by the reaetionary
element that was fought by Roosevelt
and repudiated by the country?
