Aliens Versus Aliens.

A special correspondent of the New
York Evening Post sends to that paper
from Vancouver. B. C., long letter on
the subject of the anti-Japanese feeling
on the Pacific coast He holds no brief
for the japanese. giving at length some
of the reasons why they are dislikcd
by many of their American neighbors.
but in the following paragraphs he con-
tributes something new to eastern
readers as 10 the general situation:
TT is not the wish or intention of the
writer to depreciate the Japanese j
nation or to seek for arguments show
ing that they are undesirable immi-
grants TO the North American contl-
nent. This is a mere chronicle OF Facts
derived from observation on the ground
and very reluctantly the conclusion Is
arrived at that. unless the situation is
in some way mended. and that very
shortly, there is likely to be an cpl.
demic of violence and outrage at va
riouS Pacific coast points. On the coas:
today the most degraded people are
hordes OF the scum of southern Europe
OF various nationalities. These Euro
peaus are below the level of the Japa
neSe and Chinese in intelligence, moral
ity nd their ways of life. They hate
the orientals with whom they prlncI-
paliy come into competition with dn IN
tensity that is devilish. At the firs;
hint of riot and outrage these degraded
Europeans will be there and as they
all carry knives and many of them
have firearms, there is the possibility y
of very serious disturbance upon small
provOcation.
The owners OF railroad and
steamship lines. the proprietors o:
large fruit ranches, contractors and
other large employers of unskilled la

The Naval Brigade.

The announcement that the sailors of
the battleship fleet now nearing home
from their trip around the world are to
be organized as a naval brigade and
march in the inaugural parade is espe-
cially gratifying. 1t is impossible for the
ships themselves to be brought up to
Washington, owing to the lack of con-
gressional appropriations for keeping the
Potomac channels in shape for naval pur-
poses. The next best thing will be to
bring here for the great ceremony the
men who worked the fleet around the
world and who won everywhere the high
est praise for their seamanship and their
good behavior. These bluejackets have
scored a great triumph in the course of
the past year. They have carried the flag
into foreign waters with credit. They
have withstood temptations on shore and
have maintained a high state of discipline
on board ship. Theirs has been no heroic
work They have had no fighting to do.
and none of the glory of warlike deeds
has rewarded them. But they are none
the less brave men, every one of them.
and they have done we'll for their country
by showing how to obey orders and how
to care for a great naval force. They
have participated in the most stupendous
feat ever known, by carrying the fleet of
fighting monsters over a route of tens of
thousands of miles without mishap and
with every port made on schedule time.
These men, headed by their officers, will
be among the star participants in the
parade in honor of the new President
They will bear significant message tc
the multitudes assembled to witness the
pageant. Their successful voyage be-
speaks the American ability. to accom-
plish results. 1t has demonstrated to the
home stayers that the United States is
now a world power. 1t has widened the
horizon of every American citizen and
given him a new concept of his govern
ment and its responsibilities. The parsi.
mony that begrudges adequate naval ex-
penditur has been rebuked emphatically
by the reawakened national spirit of the
people.
The naval brigade may not march pref
tily in the parade, so soon ashore after q
years cruise. 1t will be too much to ex-
pect the sailors to acquire land legs al
once. But they will show strong front
and they will be cheered. not for theil
alignment or smartness, but for what
they have just done and what they
stand ready to do, should necessity de-
mand.

Hobson.

Capt. Hobson still sees red. 1t is his
favorite color. The little brown man Is
to him the little red man: and he spies
him near and far. night and day. The
pity of it Is that he introduces the sub
ject at times inopportunely. There are nc
Warships in a howl for an armed clash
with Japan. Congress will vote no money
on that account. Why, then, does not the
captain. who is sincere in his advocacy
of a larger navy, address himself properly
to the question? He Injuries the cause OF
naval increase by giving the wrong rea
son for it. If he does, the country does
not, lear Japan.

School Fraternities to FightP

from the New 1uih
In the reported decision of high
school fraternities to unite in common
defense against principals, educators

tacks them, we see. perhaps the be-
ginning of the end. Organized in frank
Imitation of the Greek letter societies
of the colleges. the school 'frats' have
all of the evils and few of the advan
tases of their prototypes. Democracy
is one aim of the better class of col
lege societies; it is very rarely that a
school frat has or desires such ar
IDEAL On the contrary, some form OF
arstocfacy is the usual basis of the
school organizations. They tend to
clannishness and stimulate political in
trigue. Their generally bad effect upon
school discipline is attested by educa-
tors of many cities. OF the possibili-
ties for good in rightly organized ane
wisely regulated societies in our
schools there can be no doubt. but the
"frats," with their grips and secrets
and badges, do not measure up to the
opportunity.

The House Rules.

Mr. Hepburn's valedictory, delivered IN
the House yesterday. was on the SUD-
iect of the rules. He spoke from per
sonal experience of both the old rules ano
the new He is retiring after long
service. and in mood which makes MIN
hope for a new order of procedure III the
making of laws.
In speaking of the Reed rules-the
present rues-Mr Hepburn described them
as made for the mob. That is to say
they were made to rescue the House from
the power of the mob. The language Is
strong, but not too strong. Under the
old rules the House could be, and often
was thrown into the utmost disorder by
members so disposed. A premium was
put upon obstruction. At times all that
the Speaker possessed was the gavel in
his hand, and that was only a weapon
for pounding the desk. The mob held
the field.
Mr.. Reed. who was both a resolute and
an astute man. saw his opportunity when
he became Speaker. and improved it. To
be of the proper service he must have
some authority. He must be the Speaker
I'm fact we'll as in name. AS he
thought, the majority, through the Speak
er, should be able to do business at alt
times The argument was sound, and the
new House supported him in the position
he took
Those who witnessed the inauguration OF
the new policy must retain d lively recol-
lection of the scenes. For weeks there
was almost a daily collision between the
Speaker and the minority leaders, and on
several occasions a riot looked likely.
Rut time and public opinion came to the
Speakers aid, and the new rules pre-
vailed
Nineteen years have passed. and Mr..
Hepburn holds that experience has shown
the necessity for changes in the rules
then adopted. The mob spirit he thinks,
has been permanently queled. 1t is the
general desire now that the House do
business and with that end i'll view he
favors notifications of the present pro-
cedure. although he is Withdrawing from
the scene.
The subject for year or more, has
been gaining upon attention and by next
December it may come up for action OF
some kind. But two things will probably
mark whatever action is taken: % Pro-
vision will be made against the power OF
mere obstruction. and CD the majority
will shape the changes ordered. A return
to the old mob methods is out of the
question, and equally undesirable would
it be for the republicans to so divide as
TO lose exclusive control of the situation.
With Mr.. Cannon in the chair again
and up-to-date rules in force, the busi-
ness of the new House should be trans
acted swiftly. smoothly and satisfactorily.

Geronimo.

Geronimo's death brings that sinister
figure briefly before the public eye once
again, its final appearance. Once the
Apache chief was very much in evidence.
Men heard his name with dread or horror.
Tales were told of his cruelties and his
craftiness that shocked the country. He
was regarded as the embodiment of all that
was bad in the North American Indian,
yengeful tricky. faithless, bloodthirsty
and untamable. Many lives were sacri-
feed in the effort to effect his capture,
and when at last he was brought in a
prisoner the country rejoiced as at the
removal of a monster Then Geronimo
was sent into confinement and the public
was relieved Even when he was i'm
prisoned weird tales circulated telling OF
Indian uprisings contemplated to effec,
his release. 1t was long before the name
lost its potency for terror. Then, when
years had passed. the word came that
Geronimo. the fierce warrior of the
plains, the untamable siayer of the white
man. was teaching a Sunday school
class of Indians down in Florida, where
lie had been sent by cautious govern
ment. The idea appealed to the Ameri-
can sense of humor. and Immediately Ge-
ronimo became less sinister figure. The
spectacle of this grim warrior sitting al
the head of group of his old follower
leading them through the catechism was
entirely Incompatible with the conception
Of him as daredevil. Then after a
time Geronimo pleaded TO be allowed tc
go back TO his home land, so that he
could die there where he once lived &
chief II is to the credit of the govern.
ment that he was permitted to go and
that he was embarrassed in his declining
years. He has gone now to his happy
hunting grounds. leaving as strangely
contrasting record as was ever writer
by man.

Deadly Weapons.

From the Scranton Truth.
The bill introduced in the Legislature
ut Harrisburg to prevent the indis-
criminate sale of deadly weapons wouC
greatly reduce the number of homi-
cides in Pennsylvania. 1t provides
that before dealer can sell any
body revolver the intending pur
chaser must show permit from the
head of the police department of the
district in which the sale takes place.
This is "a measure in the interest of
human fife, and it deserves to become
law.
