long way from base, although the cable
works. That the President would enjoy
himself. and give enjoyment by his pres
ence to the Filipinos, who remember him

But there is no great problem. like the

As to Mr.. Jefferson's dictum about the
Importance of constant presence in WASH
between Mr.. Jererson's day and this. In
his day neither the telegraph nor the rail-
road was in existence. Except for short
spaces in a few favored states. the dirt
roads were almost impossible except in
good weather. A man five hundred miles
from home was at a distance. New Or
leans, which Mr.. Jefferson brought under
the flag. was "over the hills and far
away
Besides, the departments were then but
loosely organized. Business did not go
on like clockwork. The closest supervi-
sion by superiors was absolutely necessary.
The Presidents desk and the desks of his
cabinet advisers called loudly for their
presence. And 1T was at once not de-
sirable nor possible for the leading on
Gals to absent themselves from the seat
of government for long.
Now, with the railroad, the telegraph,
including the wireless. and the telephone
running In every direction in the country,
and the departments all but perfectly or
ganized, President and his advisers take
no risk in travelling so far as the public
business is concerned. From the most
distant point they are able to send and
receive messages about public business
brought right up to the hour, and the
width Of the continent can be negotiated
In a few days by fast express. A locality
may be lover the hills still, but it is no
longer far away"
Jeffersonianism has necessarily yielded
in some things to progress, though much
Of it was SO well conceived it is as good
now as when first proclaimed.

DROPS ANTI-JAPANEsE BILL.
Governor of California Says objec-
tionable Measures Will Not Pass.

AS the result of an urgent message
from President Roosevelt protesting
against the anti-Japanese measures
pending before the California Legisla-
ture, Governor Gillett has announced
that no bill of the kind will be passed.
The Governor has authorized the fol-
lowing statement:
after comforting with the leading
members of both branches of the Legis-
lature. / am convinced that no legisla-
ton directed against the japanese will
be enacted. I am satisfied that the
people of California, and particularly
the members of our Legislature, appre-
ciate the efforts being made by the
Federal government and the represent
atives Of Japan to stop immigration to
this country of japanese laborers,
skilled and unskilled.
There can be no doubt that the Jap
anese government Is acting absolutely
in good faith in its endeavor to prevent
it's people from emigrating to our coun-
try. and in my judgment it would be
a serious mistake while they are so do
ing to enact any laws directed against
the japanese people. This question is
one in which the Federal government is
particularly interested and its wishes
should be carefully considered and will
be. am sure, by the people of this

woman. serviIity to Fashion

WOman's Seryfltty to Fashion.
T9lere is nothing more abject In the
social state than the servility of women
TO the dictates Of fashion, declares a
New York writer. Nothing more in
artistic or barren of all harmony or
beauty could be devised than the
feminine figure which prevails at pres
ent just because 1t is fashionable" OF
course, in this respect fat, even mildly
plump, women are left out of the reck-
oning, though they are struggling as
best they can to compress themselves
into the shape of an Egyptian mummy.
To be In line with fashion now every
woman must find her greatest width
at the shoulders. From that point she
must taper to her heels, and she
must be prepared to knock her knees
together when she walks. 1t Is fash
ion that is preposterous In every way,
and 1t is not to the credit of the great
army of women that its introduction
was brought about by three dressmak-
ers' models
The style was seen first when three
models went to a Paris race track In
sheath gowns, and for their pains were
escorted off the course by the police
For few weeks the women of Paris
asserted they would not submit to the
sheath gown or any modification Of 1t !;
yet the clinging effect of the sheath
forms the chief note in the present
styles. Worth and other alleged lead
ing dressmakers OF Paris cried out
against anything approaching the
sheath model, but all have been forced
to surrender.
OF course, the true sheath, with its
slit side, has not been worn. The ia
pering effect of the sheath is the thing.
Women. tall and small, have fallen
victims of the craze The natural lines
of the human form must disappear
under the laclng and the kneading of
this Ubiquitous fashion. The woman
who cannot compress her hips into
smaller space than her shoulders will
be looked upon as hopeless from the
point of view of fashion, and this i'm
poses torture upon the great majority.
What is to come out Of it all? Petit
coats are to be discarded. so that the
mummy effect may not be destroyed.
To move easily In the new skirts is an
impossibility, and the nock-kneed
woman will find herself at an advan-
tage over her STRAIGHTFORWARD sister.
The ways Of fashion surely are as
strange and mysterious as woman her.
