RoosEvELT's BEST MESSAGE

History will record Roosevelt's work for conservation of the natural resour ces of the land as the greatest of his services to the country. If, in some of his multifarious activ- ities, he is arbitrary and even reaction ary, if at times he is more like William the absolutist than an American presi- dent, in this he is leader in great, progressive movement, fully abreast with the processes of advancing civili- zation and prophecying how they shall go forward
 His last message, giving an account of what he has tried to do and to what it all tends, grouping in one whole the apparently diverse motions of his ad- ministration, ranks as great state paper.
 The personal note that sometimes jars in his deliverance is omitted The lec- turing tone that he sometimes adopts is absent.
 His final appeal to the American pee pie to adopt platform on which all may unite strikes the highest level of statesmanship.
 He takes us into broad field and goes far into the future, but he is nor visionary. He adheres to lofty ideals of the social state but it is not the urg ing of doctrinaire.
 It is straight talk about what tho nation must do now to be saved, ut tered on the broadest lines of thougnt
 It is in the best sense democratic, ir the best sense socialistic, in the bes, sense conservative.
 And it is in the truest way state ment of what the American people ar: groping about to do for themselves ana for their children forever.

A RUDE QUESTION

Is congress engaged systematically in the business of protecting crime7
 If the secret service controversy serves no other purpose than to call attention to this question, it will not have been waged in vain.
 Every day some small thing comes to light which seems to indicate an affirm ative answer to this question. For in- stance: Here is the annual report of the solicitor for the department of agri> culture. He is telling what his office has done to enforce the law requiring railroads to haul cattle without starving them for more than 2s hours.
 It seems that during the past year the department has prosecuted 6s5 cases, in 401 of which convictions were secured and penalties imposed. The penalties amounted to $68, 8,731.71.
 But says the solicitor, 'the ex- perience of this department disclosed the need for some provision looking to the better collection of evidence to sustain the cases reported, and for in. vestigations into the conditions of cat. tie pens and yards, and the manner of unloading cattle into them. In order to accomplish which, the secretary, on February l, of last year, submitted tc the secretary of the treasury an esti mate of appropriations in the sum of $25,000 to cover necessary expenses of the work, The item was inserted ir the agricultural appropriation bill, bu, WAS ELIMINATED ON THE FLOOR or THE HOUSE BY AN AMEND MENT SEEMINGLY DESIGNED TO ACCOMPLISH THIS PURPOSE" Congress is too ready, it would seem to eliminate appropriations which would help make our laws effective.
 Incidentally, it would be interesting to know just who did this eliminating stunt. It is for such purposes tha, something like PEOPLES LOBBY is much needed.

PASSING OF THE CLOUDS.

Tie little ripple on the local laoor sea. with it's fortunate climax, should in spire confidence rather than distrust in the stability of the Glope district The conservative and business like manner in which negotiations were carried on from start to finish plainly demonstrates intelligence on both sides and de- f red tape and formality was slightly termination to maintain industrial peace in this promising mining section, even curtailed. The great rank and file of working miners are to be congratulated on their course during these trying hours, and the happy ending of this difficulty which they were instrumental in reaching.
 The district is on the eve of won derful season of development and ac- companying prosperity. Globe has the eye and confidence of the investing world. Thousands of dollars will be expended here during the next twelve months with peace restored, as it is. A protracted strike or lockout, or what ever else you may see fit to call it, would have meant ruin to many of the districts business interests, cessation sf all mining activity and checking of the inflow of capital. Its retarding influence would have been felt for years to come. But the Globe miner has dem onstrated his ability to settle these little difficulties in peaceful, intelli- gent business like way, that should stim- ulate activities and give greater conf. dence to the investor. Globe is notori- ously the best mining camp in the world, and now that toll employed here has shown its real worth, there will be little hesitancy in going forward with all the big enterprises contemplated in this section.
 By his fairness and just treatment of his men and the miners generally in the district, Superintendent Hegardt of the old Dominion has endeared himself to not only those with whom he was in daily touch, but to the miners and peo- pie generally throughout the city. Let us hope that the incident will bear good fruit and that any sore places that the trouble may have caused will speedily be healed.

NO LONGER FORTUNES TOY
Honk Chariots Coming Within Reach of Ordinary Mortals

From the New York World.
 The doom of high automobile prices has sounded. One can buy better car today for S1,5O0 that he could few years ago for S3,0o0. It is only matter of time now until any man who can afford to keep horse can afford to own an automobile.
 Automobile building was more or less of an experiment up to short time ago. But it is now an exact science. When the modern car is turned out of shop the makers know that it will run, and run well. Close watching of the performances of the earlier machines has pointed out the defects of construc- tion. They have mostly been remedied. Shops are better equipped now. Cylin- ders, crank shafts, axles, gears, and the like are made in great quantities by special machinery. The cost of la bor and material has been much reduced by system, until now it is possible to turn out much better machine than | formerly, and charge about half the original price for it. Truly good tour ing cars are offered for as little as sl,000. Runabouts that will give ten times the service of any horse and bug gy bring $500. The higher priced cars give the buyer better finish and high. CT power, but the cheaper automobile is very satisfactory car in most cases and has the support of thousands of users in moderate circumstances. And this is only the beginning. The years will see yet more pronounced dror in prices, while quality is maintained

POETS AND PREACHERS

We confess to some degree of skep- ticism anent recent remark accredited to MT. John D. Rockefeller, the gist Of which indicated an opinion that "the poets and preachers of this world are too well fed. "
 We have been inclined to accept the contrary theory, and award to genius the proverbial crust only upon which the brains producing our masterpieces of literature, and so forth, are commonly supposed to be nourished. It has been our idea that the poets and preachers of most account in this world dwelt, for the greater part, in attics on the one hand, and modest parsonages on the | other. We have not been prone to connect real poetry with pate de foie gras, or soul-scarching sermons with the fat of the land. Hence, to hear that they are "too well fed" shakes credulity and shocks a number of here tofore firmly fixed ideas.
 Genius never hourished healthily in a hothouse, an dnever will, we think Poems are the children of suffering ir the great majority of instances, and great sermons come up from the depths as a rule-they do not descend iron the heights. Paradise Lost was, w suspect, more a glorious effect of Nil tons blindness that product aided and abetted by good digestive appara tus amply supplied with food.
 It may seem, on occasions, tha
 things are very much awry in thi
 world in respect of this. The man wh,
 gives birth to noble, pulsating an'
 uplifting thought, impressively an'
 beautifully expressed, should, in the na
 ture of things, as that goes, have peI
 sonal recompense. But, if he dine
 regularly and well, will the grea thoughts come to him-would the worl
 ever know, or care? Probably no
 Therefore, let genius be content wit its crust, and be satisfied that virtue its own reward, and blessing som' thing to be given, not received'

OPPOSES THE POLL TAX

From the Staunton, Va, Dispatch.
 The proposition to change the consti- tuition so as to require poll taxes to be paid one month prior to an election instead of six months as now, does not greatly interest us. 1t is only a little less objectionable than the present plan. The whole plan of prepayment should be abandoned. As few Instructions as possible should be placed in the way of voters. Nothing is more discouraging to students of civics than the indiffer- ence of otherwise good citizens to the privilege and duty of voting. Much labor is spent in intoxicating the duty of voting and thus participating in the public administration of affairs. The imposition of the poll-tax requirement is work done in the other direction, and is, in our opinion, very harmful

JApANEsE IMMIGRATION

It would be serious matter for Cal ifornia, and possibly for the country, if that splendid state should become vir- tually a Japanese province by reason of the numerical, industrial and financial preponderance of it's Japanese residents. What chance is there of any such oc- currence? None at all, if the numeri- cal increase of the Japanese by immi- grafton affords any indication of the extent and seriousness of the Japanese invasion, for under the agreement with Japan by which passports to the United States are refused certain classes of emigrants, the coming of Japanese to our continental territory has all but ceased.
 The figures given in the annual re- port of the commissioner general of immigration are conclusive on this point. During the fiscal year 1908 but 9,544 Japanese were adnitted to conti- mental United States territory, of whom more than one-half wee not of the la boring class Of tlis total 5,71S de- parted from our territory, so that the net increase of our Japanese popula- ton was only S,s26. The Japanese i'm migrants destined to California mum
 bered 2,730, and 1,109 left the state,
 making the apparent net gain to Cali
 fornia's population from Japanese i'm
 migration but 1,621 for the fiscal year
 1908. Similarly, in 1907, when the tide
 of immigration of Japanese reached it's
 height, but 3,691 were destined for Cal
 ifornia. The report of the commissioner
 general for that year does not give
 the departures.
 That the terms of our immigration
 agreement with Japan are being scrup
 ulously observed by the Japanese au
 thorities is proved by the most recen
 immigration statistics. By that agree
 ment Japan undertook to issue pass
 ports only to ''such of its subjects a
 are nonlaborers, or are laborers who, il coming to the continent, seek to assum a formerly acquired domicile, to joil : parent, wife, or children residin
 there, or to assume active control o an already possessed interest in farm
 ing enterprise in this country" In tn month of June last 485 Japanese aI : piled for admission into this country, 0 whom 462 had proper passports. Fifty six of this number were found to com within the prohibited classes. Of tn remainder, 146 were former resident 179 parents, wives, or children of re- ? idents, and 81 new arrivals not laborer The commissioner general assumes ths those of the prohibited classes who ha proper passports had succeeded in d. ceiving the Japanese passport official l The supervising inspector of the Mex can border reports a marked decreas s in Japanese arrivals, and thinks tl l present regulations entirely effec
 ive.''
 As Japanese immigration has show
 a still further decrease since last Jun the departures actually exceeding u 5 arrivals, it is manifest that so far 1; laborers are concerned the agreemer with Japan has been successful in pra j. tically stopping the immigration in tn; z class, and that the permanent addition D to the Japanese population of the cou try, or even of the coast states, al now too insignificant to arouse any col s cern.
