TAFT'S GLOOMY FOREBODING
WAS JUSTIFIED

Arizona is already experiencing some
results of incorporating the recall of the
judiciary in its constitution. They are
what ex-President Taft foresaw when he
vainly tried to prevent its adoption.
Railroads in Arizona have been charging
five cents mile for passenger fare. The
legislature passed an act reducing it to
three cents. 1t also passed full crew
law, a headlight law and some other laws
desired by the people, andopposed by the
railroads,
The railroad corporations appealed to
the Supreme Court of the State, In states
where the recall is not handy, similar
acts have been passed and have usually
been found unconstitutional by the courts.
But the Supreme Court of Arizona fonnd
them all constitutional. Thus is Taft
already justified in the gloomy forebod-
ings he expressed regarding the effect of
the recall.
1t is unjust to the Arizona judges to as
sumo that they would have decided other
wise had there been no recall. President
Taft foretold that men who hold such
legislation unconstitutional would not be
the kind to accept judgships in Arizona,
1t seems he was right. Arizona Is a
lucky state.

National Committeeman Harvey {. Gar
Der has distributed lot of Japanese sneez-
ing powder among the members of the
Ohio congressional delegation at Wash

is as popular with the Congressman as a
patient from the pest house. Every time
he goes to Washington there arises a
howl that he is invading the precious
privileges thatare attached to their Offices
in the matter of patronage; the shrek
largely resembling that which went up

with the president the busy little
gentleman impressed upon him the fact
that when party named Wilson wanted
Ohio votes at Baltimore he didn't get
any from the Congressman, John J. Whit
acre excepted. Then he asked him if,
with power to intervene, he was going to
stand around and see the fellows who
delivered the suffrages waIlowed in the

Something has got to "bust" pretty
soon. CARRIER played good euchre in
getting past the Postmaster. General

decides to be grateful and nominate the |
so.cailed original Wilson men, Senator
Altee Pomerene will find himself con-
fronted with problem In political alge'

the other hand, concludes that regular
ity is the proper course, CARRIER will fall |
about 900 feet. The situation has an
ether angle in that the state administra-
ion, as represented by Governor J. M.

to get her something in the art line

man he met just outside of an auction
store to which he had been directed.

some famous pictures. Dirt cheap,
too. Well watch the sale for a spell,
and when see real fine bargain, I'll
post you"
Il shall feel nightly obliged if you
WILL" replied John.
Some really valuable pictures were
being offered for sale, but only q few.
The auetiopeer announced that the
government had seized q conslgn-
ment of imported pictures, upon
which the foreign shipper had tried to
evade paying duty. They had been
concealed in various packages, seized,
and were now offered for sale.
A real art expert passed on the gen.
uineness Of the pictures. Some were
sold for as much as three thousand
dollars. That, of course, was entirely
beyond the scope of Johns resources.
Finally, as all were disposed of, the
art expert left, and part of the
crowd with him.
Then the ordinary auction sale be-
gan. Johns companion must have
conveyed some hint to the auctioneer,
for when the latter put up gaudily-
framed daub, designating it "a rare
Messionier," the man nudged him.
The confiding ruralite was led on and
on in the bidding. John got the pic
ture for one hundred dollars. He was
quite delighted with his purchase.
How appropriate! And how cheap
according to the auctioneer. And just
the thing-"real art" for Lucy!
He kept the picture wrapped all the
way home, Lucy by his side. 1t was
fortunate that he was not looking at
Lucy later, when he proudly exhibited

II have had the feeling that some

administration of the law. The fail

they deserve Imprisonment. The ex-

THE REAL DANGER NOT

ger of Japanese ownership of California
lands, far more serious danger is being
overlooked All the California land
owned by japanese does not begin to

by two men named Miller and Lux.
The Japanese, 1t seems, use the lands
they own. They produce things there.
ON that Americans need and are glad to
get. Miller and Lux hold the greater
part of their tract of fifteen or sixteen
million acres out of use.
Ca1ifornians may not use it, however
wiling they may be to do SO, and how
ever great the need may be for things
that may be produced thereon. Then
there are other land monopolists doing
the same,
Because land monopoly is permitted in
California, opportunities for work have
been made so scarce and wages so low

Mark Twain says: THE donkey has
almost every virtue and yet if you call a
man an ass he is not hattered." "
Beyond question the Democratic Don
key is showing unwonted intelligence in
presenting the country with a well di-
gested tariff bill inside of its accession to
power. The fatal spirit of procrastina-
ton mother-marked the ill-fated Wilson
Bill which was born late enough to in
herit all the evil consequences of the
preceding Republican tariff bill.
Fortunately Mr. Wilson has in his Cab
met in the person of Mr.. Redfeld "a,
gentleman who is himself an important
manufacturer, He knows all the tricks
of the trade" The administration has
already discounted the "pauper labor, 4"
"the bread line, the soup kitchens, "
the empty dinner pail" and the closed
shops.
The head of the Ways and Means
Committee has publicly served notice
upon the Republican party that if it in
cites its great manufacturers to engage

ular poverty plays, there will be pres

but assigns to reasons therefor: First
because he needed the money, and
he got fifteen cents a line for it.
Second, he desired to ascertain
whether his esteemed brothers and

satisfied. He had talked of the evils
of intemperance, devoted much space
to the religious and temperance or

complimentary notices, but no init
nation had eyer been given that his
efforts were appreciated or even
read. Now he knows that they are

TWO HISTORIC
DOCUMENTS
[Bryan's Commoner. ]

President Wilson's letter of recogni
tion, delivered to the president of thu
Chinese repubulic upon the organization
of the legislature, and the reply of Yuar
Shi Kai, the provisional president, de
serves a place in the school books of botl
countries. The United States took the
initiative in welcoming thegreat republic
which has just been established in the
orient. The presidents letter reads as
follows:
The government and people of
the United States, having recently
testified their sympathy with the
people of China upon their assump-
ton of the attributes and powers OF
self-government, deem it opportune
at this time, when the representative
national assembly has met to dis
charge the high duty of setting the
seal of full accomplishment upon the
aspirations of the Chinese people,
that l extend in the name ofmy gov
ernment and my countrymen, agreet-
ing of welcome to the new China
thus entering into the family of
nations.
I'm taking this step I entertain
the confident hope and expectation
that the Chinese nation will attain
the highest degree of development
and we'll being, and that under the
new rule all established obligations
of China which pass to the provision
al governor will in turn, pass to and
be served by the government estab-
lished by the assembly
The pleasure which it gave our chief
executive to extend this welcome to the
nation which has just secured for its
people participation in their government
S manifested in the language employed
1y President Wilson. The reply that
comes back from China is as cordial in
sentiment and as beautiful in phraseo-
ogy. 1t reads:
I'm the name of the republic of
China I thank you most heartily for
the message of recognition which
you have sent " me through your
honored representative In this capital.
The sentiments of amity .aad good
will which it bespeaks, and the ex-
pressions of greetings and welcome
which it conveys, at once testify to
the American spirit of mutual help
fu1uess and friendly intercourse be-
tween China and the United States.
Though uHtaHJiliar with the republi-
can form of goyef4alent, the Chinese
people are fully coHYiEced of the
soundness OF the principle which
underlies it and which is so luipi-
nously represented by your glorious
commonwealth. Tile sole aim OF the
government which they have estab-
lished, therefore, is and will be to
preserve this form of government
and to perfect its workings, to the
end that they may EMF its unalloyed
blessings; prosperity and happiness
within, tarough the union of law
and liberty; at4d peace and friend
ship without, through the faithful
execution of all established obliga-
tions."

g generations can use the letters ex-
Ianged upon this epoch-naking occasion

yes are linked together in history and
