that ours is a government by gastron-

and speechmaking. has been much in

tween times lunch clubs by the score,
unable to restrain the impetuosity and
oratory of their members, seize an
hour or so out of midday to talk mat

Nor is the safety valve element of

Americans work hard, think fast, and,
as a rule are tireless in their energies.
Sometimes there is danger that politi-
cal passions may carry them too far

what might have happened if Cali
fornia had deemed the protection of its
citizens paramount to national obliga-
ton and had dehed Federal authority.
That situation has not yet arisen. 1t
may be said. in passing, that there can
be no question as to the right of the
United States to exclude the citizens of
any nation from crossing its borders.
If il has not this right, it is tribu-
tary and not an independent power.
The nation thus Disseminated against
has an equal right to exclude or expel
our citizens, or it may regard OUR act
as a sufficient cause for making war.
Whether a State can individually ex-
clude citizens of foreign country is
very doubtful, but when California I'm
dertook to make the japanese situation
a local issue il was clearly within the
province of the President to take cog
nizance of that act. The whole situ-
alton emphasizes the many and serious
problems arising from the dual nature
of our government, and which are
certain TO arise and plague us in the
future.

James Monroe was the fifth President
of the United states, and was the only
President who was ever reelected WIFI

Invasion of New Jersey.

The visit of the President to New
Jersey is in an entirely different cate
CORY. IT stands without precedent.
The critics of the President, who are
those who believe that the line of de-
narration between the nation and the
State should be sharply drawn, main
tain that the President should not in
terfere with State legislation. The
jury reform law, which is the issue in
New Jersey, is in TO sense national
issue Congress could not, even If
so disposed. enact any law regulating
iuries within the States. Further
more, it is claimed that if the Presi-
dent can undertake to throw his lnftu-
ence for or against a purely State law
in New Jersey, he can make trip to
Ohio or Missouri for the same pur-
pose 1t is the assumption of Federal
supervision OF State affairs which dis
turbs the minds of those who are
Jealous OF the maintenance of the SOW
ereignty of the States.
1t is claimed on behalf of the Pres
ident that he had peculiar interest
in this legislation, having pledged HIM
self while Governor to its enactment
that he is still citizen of the State,
which he visited. and that, above all,
the end ju>tities the means. This is
all undeniably true. The system OF
obtaining jurieS in New Jersey is one
that undoubtedly enables corrupt men
to Illustrate the ends of justice One
instance is cited where Sheriff, be-
ing defendant in one suit and a
plaintiff in another, had both cases
tried before juries of his own per-
sonal selection, and was naturally vic
torious in both. 1t is this fragrant
maladministration which has finally
aroused the people OF New Jersey and
against which President Wilson, like
all other honest citizens, Indignantly
protests.
1t is a practical certainty, therefore,
that the President will be sustained
by public sentiment in what he has
done because his action is so mani
testify inspired by a desire for public
good. There might come a time, of
course. when less conscientious
President might use his power with
Interior motives. The American peo-
pie, in their characteristic way, will
await this occasion and will deal with
it properly when it arises. Reliance
upon common sense is the basic stratum
of our body polite

Prices Advancing Everywhere.

From New Orleans Times Democrat
Many persons pretend to trace the
recent increase in the cost OF living In
America to local conditions peculiar to
this country and to see better sftua-
ton elsewhere Recent quotations
from England, France, and other Eu-
ropean countries, and complaints as 10
the high price of food prevailing there
caused some modification of these
views. How widespread is the advance
in prices and how nearly this advance
covers the entire world is shown in the
report of our consul at HongkonS,
telling us of the cost of living in Chi
ma the country of low wages and low
prices, where millions of people make
only few cents a day. and cannot,
therefore, afford to buy much food,
even when it is at the lowest.
The cost of living in Hongkong and
Southern China has advanced 80 per
cent since 1906, Consul Carlton de-
cIares, the greatest advance ever re-
corded in such time. Rents have shot
up. lands have advanced in value. La
Dor, in spite of the incoming thou
sands of laborers, is demanding an ad-
vance of from 90 cents to so cents a
day-a proof that immigration has less
influence on the price of labor than has
been contended. Our consul reaches
the conclusion that the increase in the
cost of living is even greater in that
quarter of the world, nearly an exact
antipodes, than in the United States or
Europe

word! Vigor, vim, vitality, energy,
ambition-the whole idea of the life
force-is there in pep"
Yet what have we now? The Wash
ington Herald, offering a brand-new

it alone contains the word which is
to replace pep"
"Spizzerinktum'' that's the new word
No longer is "full of pep" to be the
matutinal salutation of the juvenile
going forth to twist the worlds tail
Gossip of high or low pep content
will be out of place.
"Spizzerinktum" must have the place
of pep" 1t will get the goat of pep
So long and impressive a word prob
ably will have to be used with more
of dignity than the homely pep II
is pleasant to fancy that endowed
with spizzerinktum' may very well
take the place of our much-liked "full
of pep"

The California Incident.

OF the two recent events already re-
ferred to the interference of the Presi-
dent in the California matter was en-
tircly within his jurisdiction.
ANY State law affecting the treaty
obligations OF the United States is an
international matter, and it is not only
the right, but the duty OF the Presi-
dent to see that the honor of the ma
ton is upheld Under the Constitu-
ton, a treaty is the supreme law of
the land, and the President is sworn
to uphold the Constitution. Conse-
quently, there can be no criticism of
the President for sending personal
representative to present to the Legis-
lature of California the position of the
Federal government. This he was
compelled TO do, regardless of the
merits of the question. AS a matter
of fact. the Jaw finally passed by the
State does not seem to be antagonistic
to the treaty, for the latter allows the
Japanese TO lease land. although it ex-
cludes them from the privilege of own
ership.
1t is not necessary to speculate upon

LINKING UP ELECTRIC POWER.
Project for Urn nsmissiOn system
Embracing Large Cities.

From Popular Mechanics.
The linking up of the electric power
stations of the large cities of the coun-
try so that these stations can help each
other supply energy during the periods
of the maximum demand upon each is
an economic transmission development
that may be expected in the future Such
a development. If carried to its fullest
possibilities, would comprise a network
Of energy transmission lines covering the
country just as the railroads do today.
making 1t possible to take advantage OF
the difference in time of different cities.
New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, for
instance, might be connected up with
Buffalo. Cleveland, Detroit, st. Louis,
Chicago, and on, across the country.
The period in which the demand for
power is greatest in one of these cities
will differ from that of some other one,
and, with the stations interconnected,
they could help each other meet the max
mum demand, energy being transmitted
from one section to another, as needs
required The growth of such a system
would begin with the doing away of the
village and small city generating plants
in favor of the substations of big sys-
TENS, these will tend to approach one
another and there will come period or
era Of corporations resulting in all the
systems being connected with net
work of lines.
Such a system, at least, is what ex-
perts believe will come out OF the en-
deavor to more fully utilize the diversity
factor or, in other words, to make the
demand for power during every part
Of the twenty -four-hour day come
nearer to a steady amount The cost
of producing electric energy depends
to a large extent on the load FACTOR
The station must be such as is required
by maximum demand, but the income
depends upon the average demand. AS
an example of the diversity to be OBJ
tanned by connecting the transmission
systems of different cities, there Is an
hours difference in the standard time
in the areas to the east and to the west
Of Buffalo. The peak or maximum
loads of the two areas. therefore, are
not likely to coincide, making possible
a decided economy in the first cost Of
station serving both areas, as compared
with a station supplying two areas
with coinciding periods of maximum
demand.
Were practically all the power de-
mands of the United States met by a
unified system of generation and dis
tribution. there would be, according to
C. p. SteinmetZ. a much better load
curve on the whole system than on the
most modern stations at the present
time.

Precedent in Federal Interference.

One case frequently cited in con-
nection with present happenings is
Andrew Jackson's attitude in dealing
with the notification act in South
Carolina. 1t is not analogous South
Carolina refused to obey a tariff law
duly enacted by Congress, and when
Jackson threatened to use force to
compel obedience, he simply upheld
the dignity and authority of the ma
ton. When President Cleveland or
dered out United States troops at Chi
cago at the time of the strike riots
an action for which he was after
ward praised-he based his order upon
the ground that he was not interfer-
ing with State authority, but was pro-
tecting United States mails. Roose-
welt assumed a beligerent attitude to-
ward California when the japanese
question first assumed Importance in
that State, but the situation was in
ternational in its character Even Mr.
Roosevelt signed the Oklahoma con-
stitution, although he did so under
protest. President Taft acted differ
entity in the case of New Mexico and
Arizona. He placed the personal Judg-
ment of the Federal executive above
the expressed opinion of a people in
a proposed State. The exercise of this
power was sharply resented at the
time, but there is no question that
inasmuch as New Mexico and Arizona
were merely Territories, he exercisd a
constitutional right. In fact, in every
case where President has apparently
interfered in State in the past there
has been reasonable ground for Fed
eral action.
The question as to the extent to
which the national government can go
in dealing with purely State matters is
now before Congress in another form
