CALIFORNIA
IS STIRRED
Situation Critical as Regards
Anti. Japanese LeGiS-
IatiOn
RESOLUTION PASSED
OPPOSING TIE TREATY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, Feb. 23-That
the situation in the California Legih-
lature resulting from the proposed
new treaty between the United States
and Japan is extremely critical fol-
lowing the passage by the State Sem
ate last night OF a resolution opposing
the ratification Of the treaty, Ia adj
mitted today by even the staunchest
adherents Of the administration OF
Governor Johnson.
Members OF both Houses Of the
Legislature declare that California
sold her birthright for mess OF pot
tage," when she accepted the support
OF President Taft in the San Francisco
Exposition fight in exchange for a
pledge that no anti-Asiatic Legislation
would be passed.
Situation PreCarious.
There Is no denying that the situ-
alton is extremely precarious," said
Governor Johnson's secretary. I'VE
hope Californlans will have tact
enough to wait until the Panama
Canal is finished before doing any
thing radical, for although It might
not be California which would pre-
cipitate a war with japan, California
would be the first point OF attack"
Senator Sanford, author Of several
anti-Japanese measures, said today;
1T will take only few speeches
like Senator Burnett's, declaring that
the Chinese exclusion act was won
through riots and lynching, TO bring
an expression from Caiifornians
which might result in similar scenes.

AND SIGNS UP

Pete Cassidy added another man TO
his Wilmington Tri-State team to-day
when he signed up Daniel Drummond
a Philadelphia lad who has been hold
ing down first bag for the Castle
square Wheelmen for several seasons.
Drummond comes to Wilmington we'll
recommended. He is husky chap. fast
on his feet, and has been hitting at
such a lively clip that he has attracted
the attention Of several big league
managers. Cassidy got in ahead OF
them, however, and will give the lad a
try out.
Otis Brazel, who was sold to Cas-
sidy by Lave Cross. is satisfied with
Wilmington's terms and sent IN his
signed contract this morning. Brazel
is pitcher from Goldsboro, S. c. who
has made good.

GOING AFTER
PHONE COMPANIES
County School Clerks Want
Taxes on Rental Values
Of Service

In all probability some legal action
will be taken by the school boards
throughout the county TO recover a
satisfactory tax from the telephone
companies that have poles in the rural
districts.
In Brandywine, Christiana and Mill
Creek hundr eds the question nss been
discussed. School district No 3S, at
Brandywine Springs. in all probability
will attach the telephone rents IN the
hands Of the persons who have tele-
phones in their homes. The New
Castle county representatives IN the
Legislature also will he asked 10 de-
feat the telephone bill now in the Leg
islature regarding the taxing Of tele-
phone poles and wires. David A. Corn
brooks, clerk Of the .lywine
Springs district says he is determined
to collect the taxes accordins 70 rental
value He says all other property in
the district is assessed according TO
rental value and as the Delaware and
Atlantic Telegraph and Telephone
Company has telephones IN the dis
trict paying SIS, $50, $3.50 and 500
each the idea is TO tax these values at
the regular rates Of As cents. The
School Commissions 80 far have re-
fused TO accept the proposition of the
company which would give the district
very small sum in taxes.
II is probable a meeting or school
clerks of the county districts will be
held soon and some lagal action out
lined 10 recover the taxes.

Harry Won Tilzer, the creator Of
many OF the Nations most popular
tunes, has penned a song that is ring
ing through the east with a refrain
that bids fair to 90 down through
modern musical literature like the
tales of Dickens. IL is a story OF
maternal affection, set to poetry Of a
very high order. The little ballad is
called "All Aboard for Blanket Bay
and to each music line the poetry Is
linked like a glove. In fact the
lyrics Of the song, which were writ
ten by And ew B. Sterling. are said
to surpass those Of any modern song
OF its character published. The fol-
lowing extract Of the chorus will

modern improvement. Our level
country would make bodybuilding
along the lines of the good roads
movement" easy and not costly. Yet
our people have failed thus far to do
anything concertedly in that direc-
ton.
Good roads WELD such a wide and
diversified influence that no state can
afford to neglect it's opportunities to
build them. They are largely eco
nomic, since they tend to lessen the
cost of transportation, by facilitating
travel and bringing the country and
town, or the producer and consumer,
nearer together. This in turn means
enhanced values Of land and larger
revenues to every farmer per every
acre of his farm. Many people fail to
comprehend all this in their view of
the good roads movement, seeing only
the pleasure side of the question. 1t
has, of course, that side; 1t would
make travel for pleasure much more
delightful, but that, after all, is the
least of the considerations.

tee Is trying to discover the exact
facts relating to the absorption by the
United States Steel corporation of the
Tennessee Coal & Iron company. 1t

and Judge Gary. Either man, no
doubt, could give the committee all
the information necessary, yet 1t finds
itself 80 completely at sea between

other witnesses.
Such experiences as this tend to dis
credit sincerity of the big corporation

is needed is public confidence in the
integrity of business and confidence
between business and the government.
And that is impossible 80 long as the

Travel as a Disease,

Inveighing against travel as a dis
ease which should be stamped out, an
anonymous writer in one of the cur
rent magazines declares the mania for
travel to be the great epidemic of the
modern world" wasteful of time,
disastrous to the places visited, and
most unbeautiful in all of its effects
To the lust for travel he ascribes all
sorts of unworthy motives. 1--WE
travel" we are told, because we have
the money; because 1t is the fashion;
because we wish to compare other
lands with ours, probably to the dis
advantage of both, We travel for all
reasons except good ones; we are, in
short, the victims of disease. We fail
to realize what unlovely spectacles, as
average human beings, we represent
when uprooted from our native soil.
In our own place we do very well;
abroad we display our defects and hide
our virtues" "Globe-trotting" par
ticularly is decried as scandalous, and
has assumed this virulent form should
not be permitted to spread the in
lection, is pronounced a crime against
society. There is much more along
the same line, picturesquely expressed.
to impress us with the viciousness of
travel and its uselessness for good.
All OF which we submit is interest
ing and entertaining, yet, like most
exaggerated criticisms, far over-shoots
the mark because what it hits at is
not the indulgence of the ordinary
prudent person in travel, but the over
Indulgence Of the travel-infected zealot
who keeps on the go just to be
going, and for no other object Travel,
like every recreation or dissipation,
may be over-done, and travel to ex-
cess is apt to demoralize and Supply
quite as much as failing to travel at
all. If travel is a disease, it is one
whose outbreak and recurrence we
may welcome II only we do not be-
come a slave to It as to the drug habit.
II travel is a disease. 1t is q disease
we would all like to have in a mild
form periodically, but should do
everything to prevent 1t from becom-
ing malignant. If travel is the great
epidemic of the modern age" we could
not escape It II we would, and would
not II we could.
