The Anti. Japanese Bills

San Francisco, ian. 2l.-The anti
japanese bills In the California lsgisla-
ture are going to die. No one, save
their authors, G. L. johnson, of SicrR-
mento, and a. NJ. Drew, of Fresno, are
pushing them, and the end will come
wheu consideration of the bills is re-
sumed next Wednesday. Contrary to
reports In the east, there Is no sentiment
of hostility 10 California to President
Roossvelts interference. There Is
vide diversity Of sentiment regarding
what Oslifornia's attitude should be to-
wsrd japan, and as to the anti'Japane.e
legislation that should be enacted, but It
is generally recognized here that this
this would be most inauspicious time
for the enactment VI any laws thai
coUld be construed BY japan as an az
front,

MANY singular causes have been urged
in extenustIon for murder, but the de-
lsnse set up by Griffith ssn Fleet, who
chased bis wife hall 3 mile In sutque'
haups, Pa, recently, and shot her tc
death and alterwar killed himself IL
most remarkable. His wife, it seems,
was OF docile Ia ure, and when smitten
on one cheek Invariably turned the
other. Van Fleet decided she was too
mild.msunersd aud submissive to live;
hsuce he concluded to murder her. A
posse was after him when be shot him.
Vslf. Many good women have to con-
tend with brutal husbands, aud the
shove briggs to mind an incident related
BY q preacher 10 Alexandra many years

when the clock In the place indicated
that midnight was fast approaching, and
the men reluctantly concluded 1t was
time 10 wend their way hOmeward. Ssv.
srsI composing the party observed that
their wives would deliver Caudle lectures
when they entered their houses, One
of the men said he did not dread such
infections, as his wife never became Of
Tended at him. He further stated that
although 1t was near midnight were
the psrty to accompany him home, bis
wife, at his request, would leave her bid
ard cook supper for the party. This
was thought to be q remarkable state
ment, and the mans companions decided
to test its truth. They accompanied the
msu home, and the latter swoke his
wife aud directed her to rise aud get
supper really for himself and friends.
The wife followed the directions, and, as
soon as possible, had the supper on the
table. The guests, after realizing what
had been done, upbTsided the man for
his many delinqnencies, and told him be
should be better man and appreciate
such q wife. The incident was an OBJ
ject lesson to the members Of the party
and they refused to eat the supper, aud,

THURSDAY EVENING. JAN. 81. 1909.

TIE recent decision of the U.
g. Supreme Court 10 the Waters
Pierce Oil Company case recognizes the
vide scope Of states su'hority to re-
suIaa corporations within Its borders.
Texas ba, gone further in this direction,
perhaps, than any other commonwealth
and i,s antitrust Law Is one OF the
seyerest ever enacted. The Waters
Pierce corr auy has felt the full force OF
this drastic statute. Expelled once
from Texas as q violstor Of the anti
trust law, it was permitted to do busi'
ness again In 1900 on The representation
of its officers that 1t was in no way
connected With the Standard Oil Com
psuy and in no agreement with 1t re-
0arding the price Of oil. When 1t vas
proved to be subsidiary Of the Standard
Oil Company its president, d. u
Pierce. was Indicted for perjury, and it
va, again barred from doing business
Within the State, fined 81, 629, 900 and
is property In the Safe thrown In
N the hands of receiver, so that the
state could collect its 6ne. The court
finds that Texas was within It's rlgo"
10 dealing thus with the oil company
violating in no respect the federal con-
stitutIoD. Speaking broadly, tho court
ssys: "That State legislatures have
right to deal with the subject matter
aud to prevent unlawful combination to
prevent competition aud in restraint oil
trade Ia not open to question" HaVing
the power to pass laws Of this Sort a
State has also the power to provide
means for their execution. After ex-
aiming the case in detail the court
finds that the State Of Texas In execut'
ing ifs Law has 10 90 Way violated the
federal constitution. The decision a.
fords the evidence that State governments
10 the reasonable exercise Of their police
power over corporations eau accomplish
more than has been Effected thus far BY
the federal government, which possesses
no such power. This decision, 10 strict
accordance with the democratic Princi'
pie Of self.government BY the people OF
the States in all that relates to their
domestic affairs, demonstrates that there
Is no need OF rehabilitation OF power 10
the federal government 10 order to pro-
tect the people from the oppression and
extortious Of corporatlOrs aud monop'ies.
Bat If State courts in enforcing Slate
legislation should impose unreasonable
fiues upon offending corporations the
Supreme Cont will sse to 1t that they
$50 10 their turn shall be protected from
