SOUTH AND CALIFORNIA HAVE
COMMON CAUSE.

The Norfolk Virginian-Pilot is one
among the few morning newspapers
Of Virginia resisting the efforts OF the
emperor Of Japan to dictate the inter
nal policy and action of an Ameri
can State. Evidently the Norfolk
newspaper believes with the Daily
Press that the United States may not
without dishonor cringc before the
threats Of an Asiatic nation. even
though by an egregious blunder We
have invited the insult through strip,
ping the Pacific Of adequate naval
protection.
How would vivginians feel shoul,i
the President of the United States
command that separation Of the races
should be abandoned in the public
schools Of the State?
Then for instance suppose thai
Liberia. In Africa. were strong
military and naval power. and thai
that country's ruler had dictated to
the President CT the United States
that he should issue such command.
This hypothetical question to Vir'
ginians is exactly en- a parallel with
the actual conditions which harass
the Californians at the present mo-
ment.
Says the Virginian-Pilot:
i There was a time when the Unit
ed States paid tribute TO the Emper
or Of Morocco for the privilege OF
navigating peaceably the waters CT
the Mediterranean. That was not
very much worse than having the EN-
peror of Japan dictate on pain o!
armed reprisals what the internal
economy OF the State Of California
may be. Why should We yield 10

denied to meek China? The yellow

Attendance Was Small.
Only 26 senators were In their seats
when Senator JEFF Davis arose to ad
dress the Senate.
Mr.. Davis had net proceeded for
more than a few minutes when even
this small attendance was reduced to
seventeen senators. only six Of whom
were Republicans.
The attendance in the galleries was
also small
Speaking Of the publication Of news
concerning the exchange in which
cotton Is sold for future delivery, Mr..
Eavis said:

DECENTRALIZATION OF HUMAN
LIFE.

LIFE.
A news despatch from Wilkcsbarre.
! Pa, on Monday last states that:
George W. Steele. superintendent
Of Mount Lookout CELERY OF tn:
Temple Coal and Iron Company. near
pittston. was today found guilty or
negligence in causing the explosion
OF May 18th last. when twelve men
were killed and thirteen others injur.
ed In the mine.
Tho court held that he was negli'
gent in failing to provide extra main
doors In the gangways OF the mine
as required by law.
"The court suspended sentence on
ahe ground that the conviction carries
eMs own punishment"
Doubtless the judges view Is well
Yrounded SO far as Superintendent
Steele himself Is personally concern
ed. Indeed. II he be not utterly with
ont human feeling toward his brother
man, It Is quite likely that his con-
science already has inflicted no in
considerable punishment.
]. However. 1t is generally unler-
stood that the enforcement Of penal
ties for violation of the criminal laws.
perticularly those relating to the TAX
ink Of human life. has a twofold pur-
pose.
First, the deterrent effect upon
I others who in the absence Of fear
of such penalties might commit the
same ofilense. The visitation Ct ply,
sicai suffering or mental anguish up
on the offender. as most people under
stand the purposes Of the law. is but
secondary consideration.
Since the twelve men died in the
Mount Lockout Colliery by reason o!
Sseele's criminal neglect, perhaps
{ someihinx like q thousand other min
.ess have persisted because Of similar
$ deselirtions in various parts Of the
essatry.

But in Europe where the laws re-
