The Rambler on this paper learned
one thing last evening which VIII
rebound to the credit of the negro
faith doctor now operating in the east
ern section of this city. Among his
patients is the little son of poor
white woman. The child is about slN
years of age and is paralyzed from
the waist down. The mother has
used every means known to medical
science in trying to relieve the little
sufferer and ease his pains. AS a
last resort she is now trying the
faith doctor" 1t has developed that
ir bringing the little boy to the doc
ter" for treatment the mother has
been forced to carry him. She Is
said to be far from strong herself
and the exertion of carrying the heav
child number of blocks was too
gleat tax upon her own weak
frame. The doctor" noticed this and
uron his own motion took up col
lection with which to buy a little
buggy in which the mother could
transport the child from his home to
the place of treatment. Our inform
ant in this matter is reputable
white man engaged in business here
and shows that while the negro is
no doubt a fake, yet he evidently be-
lieves in his supposed power to heal.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

From the Waterloo finest ribune.
The office Of collector Of internal
revenue for the northern district OF
Iowa is worthily bestowed. The fact
that Louis Murphy Of Dubuque had
no opposition was testimony indlsput-
able, not only of his worthiness and
fitness, but Of his rightful claim.
There are two reasons, at least,
why one seeks and why one accepts
office. One, the honor and the desire
to serve country; the other, the
emoluments. Mr.. Murphy does not
disguise the fact that both reas ons
influenced him.
Now that. the collectors will have
to do with the new income tax, thus
enlarging the receipts, the Iowa col
lectorship will pay the maximum
$4,000. The office is purely political,
the incumbent holding same at the
pleasure Of the president.
RI II party rewards are coming for
faithful service, Mr.. Murphy is get
ting no more than he is entitled to.
AS the game of politics is played, the
day and no one would deny him. a
writer of the press for nearly a
decade, today holding. the editorial
position first made powerful by his
illustrious father, with, up to this
time, nothing but a reputation for
unselfish devotion to reward him, it
is with pleasure the Iowa democracy
now observes that pecuniary reward
is to be his--as well does Iowa de-
mocracy celebrate with him on the
honor bestowed by the president. It
is recognition, not only Of his own
service, but that performed by the
late John Murphy, who literally "died
in the harness leaving but little Of
this worlds goods Che cared nothing
for them) but priceless heritage to
his children, made more priceless by
the care, devotion and training OF one
of those mothers of whom the world
hears little but whom GOD knows and
rewards. q

islation, it was a failure. If it was
to persuade the Californians to enact
a law in harmony with our: treaty
with Japan, it was great success.
There is no reason why any one
here should be more Japanese than
the japanese, or why, so long as
they abide by the treaty. we should
pick flaws fin it on their account. It
seems to stand to reason that when
local demagogues revise their laws
In harmony with national obligations
they have done all that can be expect
ed Of them.
Hiram Johnson's legislature started
out to violate the treaty in several OF
it's most important clauses. 1t con
cludes the episode by recognizing ev-
cry right that the Japanese can
claim under that agreement. If Jap
an is not satisfied with the bargain
TO which it is a party, we shall hear
from it III due time, no doubt, through
diplomatic channels, but it is not Cal

PROGRESS in RAILROAD SENSE

From the New York World.
Two years are not long time as
the world goes, but the past two
years are as a great cycle in meas.
uring the change that has come over
the railroads relative to government
rate regulation.
Their former campaign for higher
rates was in reality an attempt to
rush" the interstate commerce COM
mission and break down its new pow
er of veto in rate control. They fill
ed the air with predictions of dis
aster if they were not allowed to ad-
vance rates as they pleased. They
enlisted the help Of their labor unions
as joint sharers in all that could be
additionally squeezed out OF the pub
lie. They frightened the country's
business interests with stories of
transportation decline where public
interference with rates began, and
their partnership with high finance
was made to tremble over the GER
tainty that no more railroad loans
would be possible.
In the failure Of that campaign to
break down full public control of
rates the roads learned a great les
son. whose effects are now manifest.

THIS COUNTRY rs IA NATION.

I~9b5 ~ ITO NOON III - - NAIt0N.
There is no necessity under our sys
J tenn Of government to spell nation
I with a big N, but that does not
mean that any one OF the several
|, states has the right to interfere in
national affairs and disturb this
country's friendly relations with for
eign powers.
aSa5 When Hi johnson and his associate
demagogues OF California proposed te
\ enact land laws which they openly
\ boosted were violations OF the treaty
rights Of the Japanese they became
public enemies.
No state has any jurisdiction over
national or international affairs. The
\ enactment Of an alien land law is
q one thing, but the enactment Of an
antiJapanese land bill is quite diff
4 ferent thing. No state has the right
n to discriminate between aliens OF diff.
4 ferent nationa1ities. The attempt OF
California to give Turks and other
3Asiatics greater rights in that state
& than are accorded to the Japanese
and Chinese will not succeed. If the
courts do not nudity such statutes be.
cause OF their unjust Determinations
then the treaty power Of this coun-
4 try Is amply sufficient to prevent, in
Justice to the citizens Of any and
all foreign nations. RI 5
IN our Judgment, Mr.. Bryan's mis-
sion was success, when he Undue
ed the Californians to amend their
allen land bill and provide that it
should not interfere with the treaty
rights Of the Japanese.
When the statutes Of state are

general government the treaties must
prevail, otherwise this country would
emo stronger than a rope made Of
sand. H. VA
ss Whenever the United States land
Japan wish to enter into a new
treaty to better their friendly re-
lations. and more clearly define the
rights OF the citizens Of each coun-
try who become residents Of the 9TH
ser. they certainly have the power to
do 50. and the negotiations between
the two nations win not be on the
sand lots Of Sacramento. They will
probably be in Washington and the
California demagogues will find pres
