THINKS PRESIDENT UNJUST
Russian Premier Complains OF
Abrogation of Treaty Of 1882.
DISCRIMINATION, AND WHY
Each Country, He Says, Defines
for Itself Glasses of Un-
desirables.

Categoric statements by Vladimir ko-
kovtzoff Premier Of Russia, on tho subject
of the abrogation of the treaty OF 1882 are
published in the current number of Col
liers Weekly" NJ. Kokovtzof is of opinion
that Russia did not afford the United states
any just ground for President Taft's action
in declaring the abrogation Of the treaty
and points out that the very first article Of
the pact stipulated that American citizens
arriving in Russia and Russian subjects
arriving in the United States should be
subject to the internal laws and regulations
OF the respective countries.
ITO allow free entry of foreign Jews into
Russia" says the Premier, "ls obviously
impossible under the circumstances Ihey
would then enjoy greater rights In Russia
than Russias own Jewish subjects. Therein
lies the special reason for the discrimina-
ton which Russia practises toward foreign
Jews wishing TO enter Russia. | must add
that existing restrictions are considered
measure OF defence for the Russian masses
against alien domination. Concern for such
measures of protection must be understood
by the United States, which for similar
reasons prohibited the entry OF Asiatics.'
NJ. KokoytzoR insists that Russia has
treated American Jews exactly on the
same basis as all other Jews, without eX-
ception, and remarks that no civilized
country has ever disputed the right OF
another country to define for itself classes
of undesirables.
THE United states" he says, 'estab-
lished in its immigration acts classes of
undesirable aliens. determined by qualif-
cations OF an economic sanitary, moral
social and even religious character. Amer
lean legislation for instance, prohibited
the entry into the United States Of pcf-
sons belonging TO religious bodies tolerat-
ing polygamy, whereas Russian legislation
does not see any cause for such restriction.
Still. as I said, such classes Of undesirable
aliens are defined for itself by each coun-
try. Wherefore. neither the Russian nor
the American government saw any viola
ton of the treaty OF 1852 i'm the passage
and enforcement of the aforesaid Ameri-
can immigration acts. This ought to be
clear TO every statesman"
on the question OF commercial reprisals
NJ. Kokovtzoff remarks that the Russian
government has not yet expressed any in
tcntion OF applying reprisals toward goods
Of American origin. The proposals for re-
prisals originated in various quarters, but
tho government has not yet indicated in

A running debate between the two sena-
tors followed. Senator Bracket referred TO
the "unspeakable incidents" OF the com.

a blot on the escutcheon Of the state.
Senator Bayne said that II was not an
unusual procedure for a woman TO give
testimony veiled, that not the slightest OBJ
lection had been made to this at the tina,
and that there had been no criticism until
the witness had left the jurisdiction OF the
committee.

MORE FREAK LEGISLATION
House Would Require Publica-
tion of Judicial Endorsements.
From the Tribune Bureau. ]

Warrington. Jan. 2i.--Frcak legislation
had another inning in the House to-day.
y hen the Democrats voted that hereafter
the President shall make public all in.
dorsements of candidates for places on the
bench. Without discussion, because it had
been moved TO close debate, the House,
practically on a strict party vote. adopted
tie following amendment 10 a pending bill
re la ting TO the judiciary:
,Sefore the President shall appoint any
district circuit or supreme Judge he shall
make public all Endorsements made in be-
half Cf any candidate.
This remarkable proposition was ap-
proved by a vote OF liS 10 s.
The House was considering a bill TO
create an additional district Judge for the
Chicago district, in lieu Of the appointment
of circuit judge TO succeed Judge Gross
cup. resigned. The bill was finally passed,
but not until Representative Cullop. an
Indiana Democrat, mad succeeded I'm tacking
on an amendment that the President shall
take the public into his confidence whenever
he decides. with the consent of the Senate,
to make a judicial appointment.
Those who opposed the Cullop PROPOSE
ton pointed out that the most effective way
10 injure the chances Of a good jurist un-
der this freakish plan would be TO bring
about his Endorsement by undesirable per-
sons The President, IL the House bill
should become law. would have 10 make
public Endorsements which had not been
made in good faith.
AZ debate had been closed when Mr. Gull
lop sprang his unprecedented suggestion,
minority members had no opportunity TO
oppose the provision on the floor and had
20 content themselves with voting against
Il. Republican members, however are con-
ident that the Cullop amendment will not
be taken seriously in the Senate, and one
Democrat in conversation afterward said
he doubted the constitutlonality Of the
amendment. as the Constitution provided
that the President with the consent Of the
Senate. should make appointments to the
judiciary.
William Jennings Bryan, in his speech
1T the recent Jackson Day dinner. as well
as on previous occasions, demanded a law
requiring the Executive to make public
indiscriminately the names of those who
might recommend judicial appointments.
The action Of the House to-day Is a fur
ther tribute TO the dominating influence
the Nebraskan still exerts over the Demo-
Gratis.
Ia the debate on the Chicago judgeship
bill Representative Mann attempted TO OBJ
tain the adoption OF an amendment in
creasing the salaries Of district Judges from
5000 TO $1,000. 1t was defeated by Demo-
cratic votes.

GLASSCOCK'S ANTECEDENTS 49, In

OF West Virginia that his state favored
I'm preference to that OF President Taft II
is necessary 10 recall the Governors an
tecedents. Mr. Glasscock. It may be re-
membered was not the choice of the Re-
publican party of his state, but was the
personal nominee OF the late Senator
steve" Elkins, and was made the nomi-
nee in the days when the Senator from
West Virginia was almost all powerful.
However, the people Of the state resented
having Mr.. Glasscock fosted upon them
to such an extent that he ran $1,000 votes
behind his ticket. being elected by plu-
rality of 1900. as against plurality OF
20 400 for President Taft. II will be seen.
therefore. that Governor Glasscock owed
his election TO Mr. Tafts popularity in
West Virginia Furthermore, it is OF in
terest TO recall that both Senators were
bitterly opposed in 1905 to having the
West Virginia delegation instructed for
Mr.. Taft. and even went 80 far as to
threaten offlceholders from that state with
dismissal If they did not use their influ-
ence to prevent il. When the Republican
State Committee met, however the Sen
ators were ignominiously defeated, secur-
ing only one vote out OF thirty against
Mr.. Taft, and the convention followed the
lead of the committee. That Governor
Glasscock should be opposed to President
Taft is TO be expected from his ante
cecents.

UY MAIL. Cash in Advance.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

In common with most or the SIdleS in the Union Arkansas has hal the opportunity of receiving man active ly campaigning for third term as president. Theodore Roosevelt ad- dressed the Lakes-to- -the-Gulf Deep Waterway convention at Little Rock yesterday. He was the guest not alone of the city of Little Rock, but the state of Arkansas as we'll.
 We have never haC any objection to Theodore Roosevelt as private citizen. If he were content to remain one, all would be well. But the mans all-consuming person Il ambition will not permit him to blend himself witt private life. In direct contravenhon to a most positive statement that under no circumstances would he again be a candidate, he is now doing violence to one of the sacred tradl tions of our government by vigorous ly campaigning for a third term on the assumption that nobody else can govern the United States.
 MT. Roosevelt says he referred only to successive terms when he an nounced in 1904 he would not accept another nomination. That his renun- citation applied not only to 1908 but to all other years was then, and is now universally accepted. MT. Roosevelt contends that he has not changed his mind.
 The milk in the cocoanut is, then, that he is so constituted mentally that he can place different construc- tions, as expediency demands, on what appears to all fair minds to ad= init of only one interpretations TO he mentally ambidextrous and adjust ahle to such a degree is dangerous propensity in man of MT. Roose- velt's importance.
 The fact that MT. Roosevelt is men, tally equipped to juggle, dodge and straddle is amply borne out by ms at titude with regard to the trusts, the tariff. the bosses and the negro.
 There are some good trusts-hot- ably those which have contributed to the support of Mir Roosevelts po- litical aspirations. On ahe tafln question. the most important anu the only real issue in the present cam paign. he is reluctant to take a stand. He ignored it completely as long as he could. Against some bosses he is extremely bitter. Those who eat out of his hand, however, are in a different class. In most things he is capable of being both for ana against. Only in his disregard Tor constitutional restrictions has he been consistent.
 The immense advantage which ac- .orues to MT. Roosevelt in the polltlcai game by reason of Mir. Roosevelt agility and his ability to be all things to all men cannot be underes- timated.
