The California legislature at one
time gave evidence of passing some
unpleasant Japanese legislation in
which the children were to be shut
out Of the schools, but on more
sober consideration at the sugges-
ton Of President Roosevelt nothing
will be done of the character pro-
posed. The bill for segregation was
up Wednesday for reconsideration,
it having once passed the body, and
this time it was defeated. The pres
ident expressed himself as being
we'll pleased with the result OF the
action of the legislature and that 1t
did a great service for the nation
when it sank individual feeling to
avoid making complication fol
the country to handle.

President-elect Taft, judging
from all reports, is going to map
out an entirely different policy with
reference to the south. His visit
down there will undoubtedly result
in his attitude being a more genial
character and he has indicated that
he desires to be of more benefit
than have previous presidents. 1t
means that there will likely be a
great change in that section of the
United States in the few years to
come and 1t will be watched with in
terest.

as consequence 1000 drug stores

1t is evident that something is wrong

forcement heretofore.

hibiting a member Of either house
Of congress from accepting an APP
pofntment to an Office the salary of
which has ben raised during the
members term, may deprive Taft of
some other good cabinet timber.
The matter will undoubtedly be ar
ranged so far as Senator Knox is
concerned by the passage OF the pro-
posed bill reducing the salary Of the
secretary of state to its present fig
ure, but the discovery will have the
effect Of eliminating from considera-
ton as cabinet material, very prob
ably, Senator Kittredge, who was
very favorably mentioned as a pos
sible member of Taft's official fami-
ly, and possibly other senators or
congressman the next president may
have had In mind will be barred by

Robert Bacon, whose nomination
as secretary of state has been con-
frmed by the senate will direct our
foreign relations for little more
than five weeks. This will not con-
stitute the record for brevity. We
had once a secretary Of state who
held the office SO short time that
one week saw his installation and
that of his successor, Elihu B.
Washburn OF Illinois was President
Grants first secretary of state, but
served only long enough to get his
name in the list of occupants OF
that high office. Grant was inaugu-
rated March 4, 1869, and Hamilton
Fish's appointment as secretary of
state, in succession to Washburn
was dated March II, 1869. Mr.
Fish's tenure Of Office was exactly
eight years and one day, since he
retired from the state department

succeeded him.

The New York press has started
a subject for interesting specula-

Cleveland took on flesh after being

weight after moving into the White

grown much heavier since he has
been president-and then asking
how much Taft may be expected to
weigh if he follows in the steps
OF his predecessors in this respect,

There is every likelihood that New
Mexico and Arizona will finally at
this session of congress achieve their
long cherished ambition to achieve
statehood as separate states. The
new hopes, however that the move
ment to name one of the new states
Lincoln will die a-borning. 1t is a
question II either New Mexico or
Arizona will ever make state that
lovers Of the martyred Lincoln would
be proud to have his name attached
to. And then there is the fatal OBJ
lection raised by the Sioux City
Tribune, that the new state would
probably be abbreviated Line.

The report from Panama is that
the engineers who accompanied Mr..
Taft on the isthmus have found the
Gatun dam all right, and that. there
will not be any change in the canal
plans. Such report will please the
country. The sea level canal seems
simple. but 1t really involves greater
difnculties than are involved in the
lock type. It would necessitate, for
one thing, finding a new route for
the troublesome Chagres river, the
construction Of locks on the Pacific
side and the digging Of an enormous
ditch through the Culebra region,
one whose cost Is indefinite and
whose Snoring up when the sea level
Is reached is g problem OF infinite
embarrassment. The digging OF a
sea level canal is to the lay mind the
connecting Of two oceans with. a
spade. but that this is not all is
abundantly testified by the very en-
Eineers who. favored the sea level
canal. @ ~

That the people of England have
been passing through an industrial
crisis similar to that which has trou-
bled the United States, is now
proved by the statistics Of the Brit
ish Board of Trade for 1908. The
imports fell off 100000, and
down to a total of $2,965, 100000,
and the exports fell off $244,O00,000
the heaviest decline in any other re-
corded year. Business failures ex-
coed 10000. Unemployment was
greater than in any year since 1892,
the percentage of the unemployed
trades unionists being 81, as COM
pared with 2.S in 1898. Wages in
all the large industries were reduced
At the same time the prices OF food
stuffs have generally risen, the level
of retail prices having risen rs per
cent.

The Importance of the preserva-
ton of the home intact was the
theme of the discussion at the con-
ference on the care OF dependent
children, opened by the president at
the White House.It was the unanl-
nous opinion of the 200 delegates
present that the child should be
kept in its home whenever possible
and that the breaking of home
should be permitted only for reasons
OF ineff1ciency or immortality. 1t was
also agreed that where poverty ex-
lists In home, state aid should be
given, and where children are left
fatherless mothers should be given
an opportunity to support them
selves and their children in the home
1t was also agreed that the state
should inspect the work of child
caring agencies and home-finding so
cieties.

A decision rendered by the United
States Supreme Court Monday in the
case of the Continental Wall Paper
Company against Louis Voight &
Sons Company of Ohio, is to the eff
feet If one owes money to a corpor
alton acting contrary to the Sherman
Antitrust law, the trust cannot col
lect the bill. The suit was brought
by the wall paper people to collect
a bill of some $4,000. and this was
resisted on the ground that the pa
per company was trust. 1t was al
so claimed that Weight & Sons had
been compelled to sign an agreement
on the threat that if they did not no
paper would be sold to them by any
factory in the country. 1t was al
so asserted that the trust charged
so per cent more than would have
been the cost if there had been COM
petition. Justice Harlan, in deliver
ing the decision of THE court, point
ed out that If the trusts cannot con-
troll retail prices they are shorne of
their power to control the market,
and that with the disappearance Of
this dictatorship the modern trust
would have to go. 1t was shown that
the wall paper company was COM
posed of over thirty factories and
mills, principally in eastern states,
and that they maintained their con-
troll of retail prices by requiring
their customers to sign agreements
in violation of the Sherman anti
trust law. The court reasoned that
to force the collection of debts based
on an illegal agreement and prac-
tice would add in executing those IL
legal agreements. This important
decision was reached by a divided
court, four justices dissenting, name
ly Holmes, Brewer, White and Peck
ham. They held that a lawful pur-
chase is not made unlawful by mere
ly being the fultillment of an unlaw-
full contract" 1t is expected that the
effect of this decision will be to COM
pei a large number of trusts either
to abandon trade agreements or to
sell for cash.

Several Improvements are likely
in the postoff1ce IL the plans Of ex-
perts are adopted. The postal COM
mittee Of congress. appointed two
years ago. will recommend that a
permanent director OF posts, with
seven assistants be provided for,
and that the four offices Of assistant
postmaster general be abolished.
Postmaster General Meyer is urging
postal savings banks and rural par
cells post, and his probable successor
Mr.. Hitchcock, favors these improve
ments. The parcels post will prob
ably be profitable to the department,
besides comforting benefit on the pub
lie. The deficit this year is the larg-
est ever reported-nearly seventeen
million dollars-and although the
postofice Is not intended to make
money, any effort to put 1t on pay
ing basis should meet with favor in
congress.

The federal constitution provides
that mo senator or representative
shall, during the time for which he
was elected, be appointed to any
civil Office under the authority of
the United States which shall have
been created or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased
during such time" The obvious OBJ
ject of this provision is to make it
impossible for any legislator to aid
in manufacturing an official map"
and then grab it for himself, says
the Sioux City Journal. Senator Knox
during his present term decided to
increase the salary of the secretary
of state, with the other cabinet Off
GERS, to $4,000 a year. Under the
constitution Senator Knox is plainly
ineligible to accept the state port
folio at the increased salary To
make him eligible, it is proposed that
congress shall now reduce the salary
OF the secretary of state to $4,000
the figure at which it stood before
Mr.. Knox helped to vote the in
crease. If this is done Mr.. Knox
may accept the portfolio without an
neXing any emoluments added to it
by his own act. The spirit of the
constitution would thus be plainly
carried out. Senator Knox would
be beyond suspicion of personal prof
it by his vote for higher salaries for
the cabinet officers. Yes, how
about the letter of the constitution?
ask the democrats. The letter of
the constitution would be violated in
the arrangement proposed. Senator
Knox voted for the cabinet salary
increase. Literally, that vote made
| him ineligible for a cabinet office
until after the expiration of his
present term, which runs to 1911.
But why stick to the letter of the
constitution after the integrity of
its spirit has been positively as
sured? Not an element of justice
would be infringed by Mr.. Knox APP
| pointment at the old salary. Nothing
| the constitution tried to safeguard
would suffer. If Mr.. Knox is kept

the letter of the law, the spirit of
the law will suffer for it certainly
never was intended to keep man
like Mr.. Knox out of the cabinet
under such conditions as may now
obtain. On the rare occasions where
the spirit and the letter cannot be
followed the public demand is for
observance of the spirit rather than
the letter. In this particular in
stance Mr.. Knox would rather stay
in the senate than go to the cabinet,
and will be pleased rather than dis
appointed If the letter of the law is
enforced. President-elect Taft will
be disappointed II the keystone of
his cabinet arch Is taken away by
technicality, and the public as a
whole is likely to conclude that the
public service will have suffered.

permitting the use Of benzoate of So
da as means of food preservative,
which has been going on for several

Wiley by the board Of experts named

injurious. The president had al

iting its use in foods, thus indicating

PrecIdlano ArbaIIo Murdered

Postmaster Chas. O'Nell of Old Glory who is in the city from that camp, brought news of the murder of Precidiauo Arballo, prominent Mexi- can cattleman, who owned a ranch near Old Glory.
 Arballo's remains were discovered last week lying in canyon about one mile from the Mexican line, this can yon is located about 75 miles south of Tucson in Santa Cruz county.
 Arballo's face and head had been battered SO that his features were scarcely recognizable.
 A coroner's jury was summoned and an inquest was held before Justice McOlenehan at Old Glory on Friday The jurors returned a verdict stating that Arballo had been murdered by unknown parties.
 It is their belief that Arballo was attacked by some parties who thought that he carried large sums of money with him.
 Arballo was one of the original owners of the Tres Amigos mine and received considerable sum of money from the sale of that property son Citizen.
