 men who stay in the light.
 What system of Jurisprudence or wkat form of procedure the Orientals have is not known but seldom do their quarrels and their troubles get into the police court and Japanese never appeals to an officer in ease where one of his own countrymcn is concerned.
 That cases are tried and justice dealt out by some sort of court maintained by the Japs has been known for some time but 1t was not urtil the finding of the bodies of three Japanesce who had been secretelv buried in the cellar of one of the ten"- ments last fall and by city water in- spectOrs within the last week that an investigation showed that these courts maintained by the quiet little people take precedence over the courts of justice of the United States and that they have the power of life and death over these subject to the laws of the colony.
 The investigation which was insti- tuied after the finding of the three bodies resulted in the obtaining of evidence which proved conclusively ttat the men found buried in the cellar had been murdered by their fellow countrymen after a trial in which they had been convicted of cheating at cards
 Continuing the investigation the po- lice found that in all cases arising between Japanese the matter was re- ferred to court of their countrymen and that the decree of this court was final. Even if the offenders were un- fortunate enough to fall into the hands of the constituted authorities of the country and serve a sentence given by an. American official they were not imune from trial by their own court an dthe time spent in the city or county jail was not considered in ] awarding the punishment.
 The men whose bodies have just been found were convicted of cheat ing other Japanese at cards and were sentenced to death. executed and buried by their countrymen and no re- port was ever made of the matter. thorough cleaning out of the dens Inhabited by the Japanese workmen has been ordered and it is believed that many more crimes will come tl | light

 AS q last desperate chance he might figure out that hy involving Mexico ii a clash with the United States he could prevent his overthrow hy the c"nstitutionalists. At least this is an argument which is being put forward by some of the enemies of the present president and the attempt on the life o1 the American naval officer. which is charged hy some direct to Hucrta would seem to point to the statement as having some foundation.
 Hucrta is certainly bccomming daily more hard pressed He is sur rounded by troops and is making trerarations for the defense of the city. but by many it is believed that if he cannot succeed in forcing the in . tFrvcntion of thc United States he will very sooh make an attempt to !e' ve the cou,ry.
 The cOnstitutionalists leaders arc aware of this possibility and they have the president surrounded by spies and men are already abroad in the city with orders to murder the di- ctator should he attempt to make his escape from the town and board a vessel at Vera Cruz.
 In case he succeeds in eudng the constitutionalist army and the bullets 0! the assassins and manages to get aboard his gunboat there is q rebel ship cruising somewhere off the coast which will attempt to take the dicta- tor from the gunboat.
 In view of all of these considera : tions and the possibility of a more serious attack on American than has yet occurred Representative O'Shau- shnessy will remain at his post for the present.

pf csurnption. these arc pinnacles OF
peril. Here Is where many OF the mod
crn heresics come from. This arrow
was also first shot in Eden. and ever
since then men have been falling UNI
der its poisoning influence.
THE THIRD TIP
TO SATANS ARROWS
CD The third arrow. The tip of this
Is human ambition. This is the might
est temptation ever presented to n hui
MAN soul but 1t did not get Jesus tim =
der Its influence. Hear His words, Get
thee hence, Satan. for Il is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God.
and Him only shalt thou serve" Every
cay this temptation comes to some of
us Get wealth, get worldly honors.
Ict worldly influence and power If
YOU can't get them in tho right way
get them anyhow; take tho near cut {;
dodge the cross: don't try to win by
merit. but by trlckery and fraud: what
ever YOU do, get these things" That Is
what Satan is saying. and many are led
away by him.
Here arc the temptations: First,
doubt. an appeal to the senses: human
passion. Second. presumption. an APP
peal to the mind: spiritual pride. Third,
ambition. an appeal to the magma
ton; worldly power. The same old story
first told in Eden. the lust OF the flesh
the lust OF the eye. the vainglory OF
life.
Now under these three You can cnta-
ioSue all the temptations TO which
men are exposed. and against these We
are warned again and again in the
Word Of God
Without going any deeper into the
subject we may learn these important
lessons:
First. we learn the true nature and
character OF our great High Priest.
tempted In all points as we are, He
knows how to succor us when we arc
tempted There is much In this
thought for our comfort and consola-
lion.
Second. II We would withstand the
temptations OF Satan we must make
good use of the sword of the Shirt.
which is the Word OF God. That is
our weapon.
Third the trucst. noblcst and best Of
earth are those who have been tested
ana failed not There is not ONLY joy
IN victory. but there is an Increase of
strength. If we are true In the testing
times we may have ministerinr angels
TO visit us when the trial is over.

The continuance OF the complaint

ideal toward which public school

The Tines-D Dispatch indorscs this

that It sees little danger here in Viz.

the truth, and yet there IS work still
10 be done In that direction Far

the South justice, gives the truth
about secession and avoids the cX-

in use. We have urged the adoption
OF DR.. Bledsoe's book. and still urge
1t, but we would at the same umc
call the attention OF the school

that they are not taking full advan-
tage OF the opportunities already pre-

COllier'S-Standpattcr.

Golfers Weekly recently laNeuted
the fact that President Wilson did
not put the seal of his approval on
government by assassination by recog-
inizing General Huerta as Provisional
President OF Mexico after he had ac-
lquired power through the murder of
Madero. In later issue il sought
to sidestep by declaring, in answer
to the criticism that such action
would not have prevented the revolu-
ton. that, even 50, the responsibility
would not have been Wilson'S. as if il
believed il better for the American
nation to shirk responsibility than to
attempt by affirmative action To i'm
prove conditions in Mexico and pre-
vent continual repetition of revolu-
lions i'll that unfortunate country.

drivers OF vehicles must recognize
this right at their risk"
There is only one objection to a
literal enforcement OF the judges
ruling, and that is it's tendency to
tie up traffic at the behest OF every
bull-headed pedestrian or leather OF
automobiles.
The obligation to observe traffic
laws and promote the safety OF the
public OH the highway is not one
sided as to drivers. but reciprocal as
between drivers and pedestrians, at
street corners or elsewhere.
This city has had plenty of acct
dents and its share of tragedies
through the criminally reckless
driving OF autos. For that class of
chauffeur, in his own or another
mans car, we have no sympathy.
But It Is palpable. also, that many
accidents are easily traceable to the
carelessness OF the pedestrian. In
cases Of this nature, it is unjust to
saddle all the blame on the driver
Of vehicle
!,
women and children negotiate cross
ings or alighting from trolleys, with
out even casual glance for APP
preaching traffic. The hospitals and
surgeons and undcrtakers wax fat on
their heedlessness. The driver may
observe, and he should observe, ex-
traordinary precaution. But that
will be OF little avail in the face OF
the conditions outlined.
Preserving life and limb on the
highways is not n matter for class
or any form of prejudice: it is the
imperative function Of no one ele-
ment using the highway; it is the
duty impartially of every man. wo-
man and child that steps out Of home
or office into the streets Of IL city
or country road. Any other inter
probation surely will delay the day
when casualties are brought TO d
minimum

I'liry Stories.

Miss Jane Addams told the Cen
cral Federation of Women at Chi
cago that The origin OF fairy stories
seems TO have been with primitive
women, who invented them TO intu-
ence 10 gentler ways their brutal
lords and masters"
If fairy stories were invented by
women, il must have been woman
who told that one 10 Miss Adams.
and II is fitting that it should be a
woman 10 tell H. But IL fairy stories
were invented for the purpose OF in
nuencing men, why does Miss
Adams tell them to women? And
why should she believe them her
self?
The stories women sometimes tell
10 explain things that happened in
the prehistoric ages-if they did
happen-often make us think that
the things should have happened. II
We were a prehistoric man, and a
woman should try TO soothe us with
AS thin fairy story as that with
which Miss Addams regaled the wo-
mans club, or as those Mrs Char
lotte Perkins Gilman sometimes tells
10 awed reporters, we would make
use Of our club.

The IfHfOu.

The vision of diviner things
Is in our earthly visioninEs:
AS through the dust that forms the clof
Inc blossom points the way to God,
And every common beauty known
Hath an uplifting OF It's own,
That through our will to still be tr,,e
Upiifts and leads us onward, too.
Blind to the beauty that we pass
In every flower and blade of grass,
SO Shall blindness of the soul
Keep us frcm visioning the whole,
That only riseth rs part
OF the immortal when the heart
Receives in all simplicity
The light by which the soul may see
Thus shall the dreamer never spurn
The gifts Of earth at every turn
Confronting us with thought that they
Are not the spirit but the way
Through which men looking are so
blcst
As to behold in time the rest.
Which is the high. immortal sight
God holdeth, and we call the Light.

Tonic or Surgery?

/ President Wilson has again re-
sisted pressure and announces that
he stands by his determination to
press his antitrust legislation at this
session of Congress. The result will
be the passage OF the bills. and It is
a result that will be to the advantage
of the Democratic party, legitimate
business and to all others save those
who have for SO long controlled the
nation for their own special purposes
and benefits.
Suppose Congress should postpone
trust legislation until after the No
vember election. Suppose that the
Bull Moose party should elect large
representation on the trust issue and
suppose, again, that the Republicans
should add to their present strength
then what?
The result is obvious. Three par
ties almost equally divided as TO
numbers in the House OF Representa-
tives would be at odds over the ques-
ton OF trust legislation, and for
months the country would be in a
state OF uncertainty, with consequent
continued depression of business.
The suppositions are not improba-
BILE ones. Roosevelt has plainly init
mated that trust regulation will be
his party's issue in the November
elections; that he VIII assail the
Democratic party for not having
touched the question, IN spite of plat
form promises to attempt to settle it,
If action be postponed, he will have
Il strong card TO play, ana by playing
it, as he alone knows now, he VIII
undoubtedly attract to his party ana
to his congressional candidates thou
sands OF voters who want something
done now. y larger Progressive rep
resentation than now will be the re-
suit. and a larger Progressive repre-
sentation will mean at least an at,
tempt at radical trust legislation.
Postponement OF trust legislation
would be bad politics and bad bust
ness. 1t would injure the Democratic
party ut the polls in November; il
would keep the business OF the coun-
try uncertain as to what may hap
pen, and might result in vicious
assault on all business. 1t would be
far wiser for the business interests
TO accept the Wilson tonic now ana
avoid the possibility of having TO
submit to the Roosevelt surgery later.

Wantcd-An Editor.

y gifted editor with vigorous
blue pencil would be almost literally
worth his weight in gold TO this
country if he were turned loose on
the Congressional Record Take the
antirailroad speech OF La Toilette of
Wisconsin, as stunning instance.
1t cost the country just $4,000 to
print this effusion. The Senator is,
of course. a conscientious student
and bright man. His views are
valuable. But we question if they
are worth as much TO the country as
the item represented in their publ
cation.
The La Toilette case is exagger-
ated. but illustrative The "leave to
print" privilege is systematically
abused. Matter that is never de-
livered on the floor of either house
is printed at the public expense; dis
tributed at the public expense. A
portion OF it is delivered by out
siders. The Record would be infin-
itely better of without these deadly
dull speeches. No one reads them,
except few gullible constituents in
the backwoods
a capable editor would save the
country hundreds Of thousands an
nually, not only in printing. but in
postage. On great national issues,
IT is natural the people should wish
to put the vicws Of big men on
record. But there are precious few
subjects that justify lonswinded
speeches in Congress, and fewer still
that justify the leave to print" pub
licity graft. 1t is important that
running debate be taken in detail
and preserved. The rest is largely
superfluous. We have no hope that
Congress will soon agree to abridge
its faculties for getting to its CON
stituents free OF cost The situation
presents simply one more of those
anomalies in our democratic system
OF government.

Embarrassing Wilson.

When the tariff bill was before the
Senate we had our standpat Rcpubli-
cans and paid lobbyists. When the
currency bill was under discussion
we had our Hitchcocks within the
party When the tolls bill was up
we had numerous snipers to fire at
the White House from behind the
folds OF the Stars and Stripes. All
of these men were seeking to embar-
rass tho President, their motives
varying, but their ends the same.
Now that the trust bills are engaging
attention, we have big business to
accelerate public opinion; opposi-
ton Senator'S to talk and talk and
talk. and Democratic Senators TO re-
feet nominations without cause and to
inject patronage troubles into the
situation when the President needs
all his time and energy TO push legis-
lation demanded by the nation The
people know how TO separate the
friends OF Woodrow Wilson from his
enemies.
