couldn't stand the gaff," said Comp
troller General jones.
THE governor, as usual, has so dis
torted the facts that his interview
is hardly worthy of notice. The
governor is chafing from his failure
to stab the state treasurer and the
comptroller general in the back, "
said State Treasurer Carter.
Superintendent Swearingen said:
'Politics have not Influenced my
course in the matter. Finding that
he had to sign the note for $4,000
or to bear the reproach for closing
the schools, the governor quit his
crazy foolishness and affixed his sig
nature"
"No intelligent man claims that
the money could not have been Sc
cured without his signature. He
waited a month to give it, although
have asked him once in person and
twice in writing to lend his cooper
alton. He imagined that the note
would never be presented to him. He
tried every means to avoid signing
it.
His bullfghting Interview is not
the shout of the victorious matador
but the dying snort of the vanquish-
ed bull, suffering from the ring in
his nose, placed there by his own
folly" said State Superintendent of
Education Swearingen.

placing raw wool on the free list.
Representative Underwood made an
appeal for the support OF the caucus.
By q vote Of 1870 to ~ an amendment
to place a duty Of IS per cent. ad
valorem on raw wool was rejected.
Free wool means a loss of about $751;
100000 year in revenue. The IS per
cent. cut in sugar duties win result in
a loss of S13,000.00O The corporation
tax is to be repealed and the govern
ment will lose about 500. 100000 year
From these three changes in the exist
ing law the total reduction in revenues
win be about S60,0O0.00O.
Chairman Underwood has estimated
the total reductions in revenues uGder
the new bill will be about s6S,0G0.000.
Only sS,GG0,000 therefore is. to result
from other cuts In the tariff schedules.
Representatives from the wool grow
ing states waged desperate fight for
more than three hours TO have a duty
of Il per cent. ad valorem substituted
for free wool. This cd. yalorem duty
was in the Underwood bill before Pres
ident Wilson and Bryan took hand in
rashioning the tariff legislation. The
Democrats opposed 10 free wool CON
tended that this duty represented the
careful and mature consideration of
the ways and means committee.
The amendment for duty on wool
was offered by Martin Dies of Texas.

Of the anti-free wool men. Before the
session of the caucus Mr.. AshbTook
met his associates in conference and
agreed on plans for the fight. While
this meeting was in progress Mr. Un-
derwood was with President Wilson at
the White House assuring him of gatifi-
cation by the caucus OF the free wool
provision.
Agreement was reached when the
contest started that five minutes
should be allowed each speaker The
debate was acrimonious and but for
the cooler heads among the older mem
bers might have resulted in a bolt
from the caucus by some of the anti.
free wool meu. They will have "a
hours in which to give notice that they
will not abide by the result of the eau
Gus vote. They will be free then to or
ganize opposition with the Republicans
and Progressives.
Representative Ten Eyck wanted the
duty on cotton shirts, collars and cuffs
raised from 20 per cent as proposed
to 40 per cent. The present law is IS
cents a dozen pieces and II per cent

expressed desire TO have steam laun-
dries brought under a tariff bill be-
cause OF possible combination between
them and the collar manufacturers,
the Ten Eyck amendment was defeat

JAPAN MAKES AN
APPEAL TO WILSON
Protests Against California Alien
Land Law.
SERIOUS CLASH is HIETED
Government Officials Express Opinion
That NIpponese Are Anxious to
PreeipItate Acute Situation
chinda Calls on President.

Washington, April 17.-Viscount
Chinda, the japanese ambassador,
called at the White House on Tues
day and communicated to President
Wilson the emphatic protest Of his
government OF the alien land bill
which passed the California assembly.
The ambassador indicated in detail
The terms of the measure which he
said the Tokyo government finds high
ly Objectionable.
Despite the optimistic statements
that have been given out both from
the White House and the state depart
ment, a serious lash which may lead
beyond the limits Of diplomacy ap-
pears 10 be immib ent In the opinion
Of some of the government officials
the Japanese government appears to
be anxious TO precIpitate an acute
situation.
Viscount ChInda's call at the White
House followed the receipt by him OF
copies of the proposed California laws
from Secretary OF State Bryan. The
text of these laws was cabled to
Japan, and it is understood that Wis
count Chinda received new instruc-
tons that neither the laws nor the
purpose OF this government to leave
the California enactments to a test
In the courts we're acceptable to the
mikado and his government. These
instructions resulted in hurried ap.
pointment with the president.
1t is pointed out here by officials In
terested IN the Japanese view that IL
the United States Supreme court
should hold that the federal govern
ment has no right to interfere in the
affairs OF the state Of California,
Japan would still be obliged TO hold
TO the position taken by her ally.
Great Britain, on the question Of Pan
ana tolls This position Is that a
treaty enactment is paramount TO a
municipal law. According to this
view, no decision OF the United States
courts would be In line with the posi-.
ton of the Japanese and British for
elm Offices unless II held that the
state OF California was wrong and
that the United States must be wrong.
Beyond this question. the situation
is full OF dangerous possibilities. In
the opinion Of the state department
experts, the attitude OF Japan toward
the United States is TO be expected be-
cause of the breaking up of the six
power concert in China largely
through the Vaccinations of Japan
and Russia These two powers have
defeated all the plans of the Knox
regime to give the United States a
position Of strength in the affairs OF
the far east Combined. they have
practically closed the open door In
north China, and II is thought that
Japan is now willing TO take issue
seriously with the United States,
backed by her secret treaty with Rus
sia and her alliance with Great Brit.

That the good Lord in His wisdom kindly

Her sisters TO forget that they are

Let their cheeks remain as downy as the

Let us still spread out our cloaks be-

Unbiased onlnions.

The only things we get for nothing
In this world are blotters and advice.
1t is not half as much of a trial for
a lovely woman, thrown upon her own
resources, to put on tights as for a
selfmade man to wear silk hat the
first time.
People often become so cultured
that they can enjoy only classical
music, but they seldom acquire enough
refinement to be able to keep from
boasting about it.
Nearly every man is a genius, but
only few are willing to take the risk
of being regarded as fools.
Most great men have hobbies, which,
however. are not the things that make
them great.
