Radical Measures Necessary.

There is pronounced element in
the present California legislature
which proposes to prohibit foreigners
from acquiring lands in that State
or becoming directors or trustees in
local corporations. This prohibition
is evidently aimed at the Japanese,
but under treaty regulations with the
United States, it would be unlawful
to discriminate between forcign-bOrn
citizens possessing Caucasian and
Monaghan blood, as applied to the
subjects of the MikadO. While the lat
ter, it seems, cannot become natural
lied citizens of this country, there is
no such impediments respecting Cau-
casian subjects of the countries of
Europe. The Governor of California
has intimated he will veto any legis-
latiOn of this character, which would
only tend to keep forei gners out of the
borders of the State. Within the
purview of the United States Con-
stitution, the treaty-making power
is superior to any State legislation,
or State constitutional provision on
the same subject. Thus it is readily
seen State may, without the con-
sent of her citizens, thrust upon her
territory undesirable citizens. There
is strong reason for the conclusion
that the Federal constitution ought
to be changed in this respect. The
States ought to be allowed to deter
mine the kind of citizens they may
desire to locate within their bound
aries, because in large measure all
Of such inhabitants have to dwell
together as neighbors. The people
living in State are q part of this
great nation, interested in the gen.
eral welfare of their country, have
the power to make laws for the pun
ishment of crime and the protection
of property. If they can be en-
trusted with such important powers
and duties, why should not State
lof this Union have the right to say
whether it wanted Asiatics to in
wade its territory and menace its
interests? This conclusion seems to
be irresistible, when we come to con-
slider the question of the Japenese
floating in great numbers in this Pa.
cific Coast country. They are not
needed here to compete with our
laborers or our middle-class pro-
ducers, or merchants, or for any
other legitimate purpose. Protec-
ton in this regard should be invoked
in the most emphatic manner. Our
Government can not afford to allow
Japan the privilege of determining to
our detriment the question whether
her subjects are becoming too numer-
GUS among us for our own well-being.
The Asiatics are cunning rather than
intellectual. Through their subtlety
in the realm of diplomacy, unless close
ly watched, they may gain undue ad-
vantages in this country, which will
cause our people many regrets in the
apprOXimating future. The time is at
hand for less party politics and
more efficient craftsmanship.

PORE the great English scholar and
writer, when he retired kept writing
material in easy reach; was thus en-
abled to make notations of bis choicest
thoughts which brought fame to him
as a literary genius. Philosophers
and statesmen in all ages have prof
tied by treating those nocturnal
visitors with respectful consideration.
Many financiers after going to bed to
rest have solved difficult business
problems-nay, more, many women
have met and overcome perplexing
problems while at work with the
needle or over the wash-tub. Often
our subconsciOus is wiser than our
objective self.

DIES OF NIGHTMARE. - A man

These different cults. from their
own standpoint, furnish numerous
testimonials to support their claims.
An increasing number of physicians
according to reports use mental sug-
gestion in their practice, especially
in the treatment of nervous diseases
and functional complaints; that the
method of treatment is scientific and
not religious. thus disagreeing with
the Christian Scientists, who forcibly
contend their treatment overcomcs
sin and sickness of every kind,
whether functional or organic, and
make the further claim which is cal
culated to appeal to Bible students,
that Christ having commanded his
apostles and disciples to cast out sin
and heal the sick. it was designed by
the Master that His followers during
the oncoming centuries should follow
this command.
This process of mental healing is
not confined to any one religious de-
nomination, whether Protestant,
Catholic Or Jewish. An account
of the good results achieved at the
Cathedral St. Ann de Beaupre speaks
thus: The lame, the halt and the
blind come and are cleansed. and go
away leaping and singing and prals-
ing God. The Catholic church OF
Lourdes comes forward with testl-
monies OF like character. The re-
cent Emmanuel movement cOmbln-
ing both phases OF healing, but hav-
ing a more material basis than
Christian Science, is spreading rap
idly over this country among differ
ent church organizations. Societies
for teaching this new propaganda
have been formed at Boston, New
York city, Chicago, st. Louis and
other cities.

l. This Equity {?

( Several months before the inStalla-
ton of the present city administra-
ton. Mrs. Mary f. Church, a widow
lady living on the Eastside, presented
her claim against the city asking that
I her street-grade assessment, levied
against her property on Third street
be refunded. as the same was bald
under protest to avoid the costs Of a
law suit. The STANDARD has recent
/ " been Informed from the City
Clerk Office that this claim has not
vet been allowed. 1t seems Mrs.
Church property. with regard to
the old assessment and the Subse-
quent re-aSSeSSmcnt, was in the same
situation as that of Mrs. j. d. Knox.
who became the owner of property
on the same street, charged with the
original assessment Mrs. Knox es-
capped payment on the ground of
laches on the part of the city. by "A
recent decision of the Supreme Court,
eleven years having interviewed be-
tween these two assessments. The
lady who paid her street tax under
protest, doubtless thinks it is but fair
she should have her money returned,
that justice requires all parties in the
same situation should be treated in n
similar manner.
Did not St. Paul say, visit the
fatherless and widows in their affiic-
ton? The great Apostle did not
mean they should be inflicted.
There are other cases pending
which will present the questions,
whether the city is guilty of negli-
gence by allowing nine years to in
tervene between the original and re-
assessment, and whether this issue
can be raised in any event on fore
closure of liens in such cases, unless
the owners shall have first made their
objections before the council, on the
hearing as to the regularity of the as
sessment. The Knox case seems to
have left the latter proposition in
doubt, from the reading of the SUI
preme Court opinion, or public at
tention has been somewhat directed
to these proceedings, in that if it
shall appear the city has been negli-
gent, the interested owners of the
special fund warrants may attempt
to recover their losses out of the city's
general fund.

CONGRESSMAN WILLETT, of New

lower house of Congress gave our
President severe thrust when he
stated the administration is engaged
in hunting out Russian political refu-
gees for the purpose of surrender
ing them to q cruel despOt to suffer
torture and death. For daring to use
their efforts in favor of political lib
erty these refugees are to suffer ig-
nominy. and may be death. Shades
of Patrick Henry and Jefferson! The
precedents established when Schurz
and other old-country patriots who
sought an asylum from tyranical gov
ernments in our land of the free and
the home of the brave, are no longer
recognized. Taft's visit with the
Car on his trip around the globe
may be significant in this connection.

heavy villain in melodrama, and he
has to have teeth that he can hiss
with. I experimental on three diff

is the principal industry. The profits
are shared out each year among the
Inhabitants. The men live on soup
and fish and smoke pipes with lobster
claws for stems. The women do all
the hard work-get in the harvest, look
out for wreckage and gather seaweed,
from which they extract soda. The

VIRTUE IN SMOKING.
One Mar Who Now Has an Argument
HANDY For His Wife.

wv ~ ssso "
The wife Of q Topeka man objects
s%trenuously because her husband is a
confirmed smoker. He is never happy
without a cigar or a pipe. The other
morning she gave him a ten dollar bill
and told him to buy several things for
her. He pushed the bill into his coat
pocket and rushed out of the house to
catch a car.
He found that he had to wait a few
minutes at the corner, for the cars
were of schedule that morning, and
then he proceeded to light a cigar. But
he found no matches-all of his pock-
cts were bare Of them. Suddenly he
happened to think that he also missed
the ten dollar bill. A hurried search
disclosed that it was gone.
He turned right about and retraced
his steps. Just as he got in front Of
his home he happened to look into the
street, and there was that "ten" tum-
bling around in the wind. His wife
saw him go and pick it up, and she de-
manded an explanation. He promptly
told her how looking for a match had
caused him to discover that he had
lost the bill.
"Now tell me there isn't any virtue
in smoking" he snorted as he pulled
out his chest.-Kansas City Journal.

CANINE JUSTICE.
Eskimo Dogs Seem to Have Laws Of
Their Own.

Eskimo Dogs Seem to Have Laws Of
Their Own.
In his voyage Of polar exploration
Commander Fiala observed among his
dogs a sort Of government quite indie
pendent Of that of their keepers. They
were of the Eskimo variety and were
trained to work in teams. In their
general conduct, however, they acted
as a community, and their rules had
reference to the common good. There
was no penalty less than that of death.
During the period Of darkness we
lost eight dogs. Three Of them, splen-
did large animals, were killed by their
companions. The other five either al
dered off on the young ice and were
blown away or were killed by the pack
at a distance from camp. Every dog
was known by name.
It is a curious fact that when one
dog has antagonized the others the
only way to ave him from destruction
later on is to chain him. Then the
other dogs let him alone. Unfortunate
" for us, the dogs that seemed to in
cur the enmity Of their fellows were
the large, strong animals, the DULLES
and fighters.
There seemed to be a degree Of JUS
tice in their judgments. From close
observation l found that the dogs gen
orally forgave q bite on the head or
body, but that an attack on the legs
seemed to be considered foul play and
must be paid for by the life of the of
Tending canine. The whole pack unit

4 Fascinating Occupation For che
Tourist In Paris.
Window gazing is one of the recog-
nized vacations Of the tourist In Paris.
Everybody engages in this fascinating
occupation, and, in truth, it would be
impossible to resist the temptation, tor
the most beautiful wares are set forth
In the most artistic manner, and the
only way you can Withstand the desire
tor possession is to leave the coin Of
the realm and ever your letter of
credit at home; otherwise there is no
telling into what extravaganza, not to
cay useless purchase, you may be per-
suaded when probably you have just
gone out for a morning stroll.
OF all these windows the jewelers.
seem to be the greatest magnets. But
the bewildering part Of it is that to
the man o. woman IMMERSED in the
knowledge of precious stones the imi-
tations thereof look quite as good as
the genuine articles. Pearls, diamonds,
rubies, emeralds and so throughout
the long list stones are so perfectly i'm
ttated thu: it Is small wonder many
American women succumb to the
temptation of buying them. But there
the temptation does not end, for they
bring them home with all the intent
to dazzle, bewilder and deceive their
unsuspecting relatives and friends
with the magnifcence Of their sudden
ly acquired wealth of jewels. Women
whom n would never suspect Of
wearing imitation gems frequent the
shops where they are for sale in Paris
In the most open, not to say brazen,
manner, while the foreign papers fair
~ bristle with advertisements OF re-
constructed and imitation gems, which
only goes to show what q lucrative
business it must be.-New York Trib-
une.
