The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1909-11-26

,the three MeXicans, friends of De
Lara, who are now in the peniten-
tiary at Florence, Ariz., on equally
flimsy but more successfully man
aged evidence. But / will tell you
this. The immigration people here
in Washington will not be the
catspaw in operations of this char
acter. Not again. l have had
some conversation with these gen.
tiemen, and the local immigra-
ton man on the job at Los An
geles has been warned not to have
his hammer set on a hair trigger.
Also not to permit himself to be
hypnotized by Mr.. Harrison G..
Otis or his blanket sheet, the
Times. Also to remember that
everybody who opens his mouth to
say something is not necessarily
an anarchist.
i what l am wondering now is
not wheher Nelson w. Aldrich is
har, but whether he is lying.
'rhat he is the former the rec
ords show. That he sometimes
tells the truth is an equally per-t
picking fact. When a man mixes
up an equal quantity of truth
WIN an equal quantity of the
other thing, how are you going to
tel Nelson says he is not go,
ing TO try to put it over at the
coming session. Well, perhaps he
can't. But I am not sure that
he tells the truth when he init
mates that he will not try. Bv
1T l mean that Wall street
central bank thing.
AS to that Chinese-Japanese
treaty. Does it violate the policy
OF the open shop? 1t provides
that any mine, railroad or Other
good thing" operated by the Chi
nese must share the operation
with the Japanese as partners. Al
the same time it provides that the
american who wants to operate a
mine, railroad or other good
thlng must operate it himself.
SUBJECT to concessionary terms to
De granted by the Chinese. Ouerv.
Is this equality of opportunity as
between America and Japan? OF
course, our pro-Japanese secretary
OF state says it is. And the Wall
street annex to our government is
satisfied. Perhaps you begin to
see why Mr.. Crane lost the lob.
Any time you are in danger of
oeing carried away by the elo-
quenee of some Fourth of July
orator and have begun to burn
with the glow of satisfaction at
living in land of equal opportun-
lty for the poor man and the rich
would commend to you the case
OF Lille Sutton of Ocean Springs
Mississippi. After you have re-
treshed your mind on the case of
Eugene Schmidt, now a prosner-
Gus real estate agent in San Fran
CISCO, or Mr.. Morse, who has re-
sumed his Wall street operations
In New York, and after Won have
glanced over in your mind the case
OF Pat Calhoun and the 12 other
mllllonaires who were indicted
but never Jailed for violating the
criminal statutes of the nation
then take 10 minutes off and think
or the sentence imposed by Judge
w. ii. Hardy of the circuit court
on the young woman of Ocean
Springs, who lived In a little cot
tage caring for an invalid BROTH
er, and who is now beginning al
seVen-year sentence in the peni-
Tertiary at Rankin for the heinous
offense of stealing half a pound of
butter and five eggs from the
house of Fred Abbey. Then look
yourself in the face and ask vour-
self whether you really believe
there is one law for the poor as
for the rich.
Senator Jonathan Bourne adj
mits that he will be a candidate tn
succeed himself in the United
States. His platform is to he
Daily Golf With Taft.
Sincerely, RATH.
