WASHINGTON, Feb. 7.-Senator
NeWlands of Nevada in a statement
tonight asserted that there should be

''While the western states will in all
probability practically yield to such
suggestion, there is danger that their
abandonment of such legislation may
be misunderstood by the eastern states

economic and social dangers attendant
upon Asiatic immigration, and that

''If 1 were the mayor of this city or

\ "The curse of the city," he said
has been the vice Of the city and the
corresponding attitude on the part of

not wink at it or attempt to cover it
up lest we lose a little money thereby,
for our shame will but be the greater.
Recall Not Reflection

New Vessel for Militia.

WASHINGTON, December 1s-Sen-
ator Perkins has obtained from the
navy department the cruiser Marble
head for the use of : the California
naval militia in place of the Alert,
which is antiquared and too small.
Secretary Meyer has telegraphed the
commanuant a Mare Islanu navy yard,

out Immediately for the use of the
naval militia. The Marblehead is of
22l2 tons register and has a speed
record of 1874 knots. She is seaworthy
and in good condition.
Senator Perkins has been pressing
for some time the needs of the naval
militia of California for better train
ing ship than the Alert. He argued
that growth and popularity of this or
ganization demanded more considera
tion at the hands of the navy depart
ment.

Perkins finally triumphed and the or.

The pRourH BREAKER.

The rain of Wednesday night and
Thursday was a blessing to the terri
tory it covered. As a drouth year
1909 must rank in the first class in
New England annals. The rain was
not in time to save the crops or to keer
the price of milk or produce down.
There is no recovery for the blighted
corn crops or the blighted lawns. The
potato crop will not be greatly bene-
flied, but if August continues just
normal and is followed by a favorable
September and late frosts there is still
chance for good late crops of corn
fruit, grass and other truck.
The flower gardens, and most other
gardens, have looked like IAN ATTEMPT
at suicide" for some time; but this
steady. 'root-finding rain will make
everything that was waiting perk up
and do well.
The rain of last week was heavy
but not deep reaching, and was not as
beneficial as was supposed. 1t did not
penetrate the earth to any extent and
foot down dust has ever since been
turned up by the spade as evidence
of the dire need Of protracted gentle
showers.
This rain seems to have filled the
bill, and it is to be hoped that it will
be followed by occasional, helpful
showers instead Of another dry spell
