Col. Roosevelt Speaks of the Triumphs
 of the Progressives.

Sacramento. April 4.-Undaunted by clouds and dashes of rain upward of 5000 people turned out in Capitol park today to greet Theodore Roosevelt
 Introduced by Governor Johnson, MT. Roosevelt said in part: 'I did not come here to try to teach you any thing. I have come here today but to thank you for what I have learned from you. Here in California, after having been for over generation under the control of great corpora tions. at last we have seen you defi- nitely take control yourselves and make this really a fact and not in name a government Tor and by the people.
 The proposition on which this country was founded and on which for a century and quarter it has pro ceeded is that we have a people fit to govern themselves. that our people can themselves control their own des- tinies. And I would like to call the attention of our reactionary friends that the arguments they make against us of the progressive side today are exactly the arguments advanced against the republican movement as a whole a century and a quarter ago. Fundamentally the argument of the latter day tory-the reactionary- the conservative of 1911-against giv- ing the people full control is the ar

of peace is the announcement that the mikado's government not only finds no objection to the proposed Anglo American treaty, but will, if necessary, consent to revision of the treaty of alliance which was formed by Great Britain and Japan in 1905 provision of this treaty which the British government feared Japan might consider as a bar to the arbi- tration treaty with Uncle Sam reads:
 Should either of the high contract ing parties be involved in a war of defense of it's territorial rights or special interests. the other party will at once come to the assistance of its ally and both parties will conduct a war in common and make peace in mutual agreement with any power or powers involved in such war
 The Japanese government has has tened to explain to the American gov ernment that this provision-and in fact the entire treaty of alliance be- tween Great Britain and Japan-af- fleets solely the far east, and that Japan will either join her ally in re- vising the language quoted. or will state categorically that she has no objection to an agreement between the United States and the British government whereby all disputes be- tween them are to be submitted 70 ar bitration.
 We have alluded already to the remarkable attention which the whole world apart from this country is giving to President Tafts arbitration policy. Quite generally it is predicted that the success of this policy will mark an epoch in the history of civi- lization. It is more than likely that within another year MT. Taft will be hailed as one of the worlds greatest benefactors. and if his policy results in a treaty between the United States and Japan providing for the arbitra- ton of every possible dispute, it will be impossible to overvalue his states manship.

The conceit of Provincislism.

There is a lesson for many people in the remarks made by a senator at Washington the other day:
 Tt has done me good" he said, to get away from the capital for awhile Here in Washington we are very apt to get a wrong angle on things. We develop the idea that the whole United States is sitting back waiting to hear what the president and congress are going to do about all sorts of things. People keep telling us in Washington that if we do this or that we are going to upset business and finance, and bring all sorts of trouble on the coun- try at large.
 T was a little surprised and even shocked, to find that in New York they did not seem to be paying much attention to what was going on in Washington. Business men and finan- ciers did not appear to be worried over the possibility of tariff revision Canadian reciprocity, or the Mexican situation. In fact, I talked last week with two or three business men who represent large interests and who ac- dShtu ne, III dn OilUdllu way , if congress was in session. l have come back with the idea that perhaps Washington is not so important to the nation as most of us think"
 The average man is too apt to think that his neighbors are paying attention to what he does or says and whole communities become so self -centered that they believe their affairs are of interest to the universe For example, we have heard it re peated over and over again that the whole country is interested in our constitution and is watching our fight for statehood" Such expressions merely indicate conceited provincial ism. As a matter of fact, the people of the United States have only the most vague notion of what the row in Arizona is about, and most of them if they had to guess, wCald say that we are a state already. And as to the issues which some local patriots imagine they have raised in the coun- try. they will sadly learn by next year that Arizona is considered an ex- tremely unimportant subdivision of the union.

Mexicali. April 4.-Having killed two men and beaten up three Americans since Sunday, Jose Lopez, Papago In dian from Tucson, was driven out of the garrison by the rebels today and sent across the border It required six armed insurgents to disarm the Indian.
 Lopez shot one man Sunday in self defense. Another enemy tried to shoot him yesterday but Lopez was too quick and the assailant received bullet through the heart.
 The tempestuOus career of Lopez was continued during the night. when he sought to separate three Americans who were fighting among themselves The three men invited the Indian to battle. He accepted. and after remov ing his revolver from his belt whipped them single handed.

Finances and Markets

New York, April 4.-Price move ments were narrow on the market to- day except in the case of a few issues which apparently were especially se- lected for manipulation to lend some appearance of animation to the mar ket.
 Almost the only consistent movement of the day was the advance of rail- road stocks, which would be affected by the conclusion of the reciprocity agreement with Canada. Hill stocks were especially strong. Canadian Pa cific gained points more, advancing to a new high record.

The Extra Session.

The Sixty second congress met yes terday in extraordinary session, called by President Taft for the purpose of considering legislation to carry into effect the reciprocity agreement with Canada Power to call congress to- gether in extra session is lodged with the president, but once in session the congress can do as it pleases in the matter of considering questions other than such as may be presented by the president.
 It is not probable. however. that legislation at this session will take a wide range. That the reciprocity program will be carried in both houses is taken for granted. The democrats, who have a majority in the house of representatives for the first time in twenty years, are divided on the question of general tariff legisla- ton at this session. It appears that a majority of them would prefer to enact the reciprocity legislation. pass a bill to put wool on the free list. and let the matter of general revision of the tariff go over until the regular session of next December. It rests with the democrats alone to say whether a tariff bill shall be brought in at this session. the constitution providing that all revenue bills must originate in the house. Upon the de- cision of the democrats as to under taking tariff revision at this session will depend. therefore. the length of the session. If general tariff tinker ing is postponed until next winter there is no reason why the extra ses- sion should not get through with its work in a month or six weeks. The republicans of the senate want a short session.
 Arizona has a direct interest in two matters of legislation which will have attention at this session. Our sheepgrowers will watch with con eern the placing of wool on the free list. and will wonder whether a re- turn to the Cleveland tariff on wool" will mean a return to democratic hard times" for the sheepman. And the people of the territory generally will watch with intense interest the progress of statehood legislation.
 It is expected that before the ses- sion is ended the president will com municate to congress his views on the Arizona constitution, but it will not be surprising if he decides to with hold his message on that subject un- til it is seen that reciprocity legisla- ton has a clear field. To lay both questions before congress for consid- eration at the same time might re- suit in undesirable complications. Ac- cording to Speaker Clark, the demo- crats of the house propose to pass up to the senate a bill admitting both has not indicated what conditions. if any the measure will contain-and, of course. they are not compelled to await the presidents communication on the Arizona constitution before they proceed with their statehood legislation. But regardless of demo- cratic action in the house. the real fate of statehood for Arizona will be decided in the senate, and the senate is republican by a majority of eight.
