mand for recognition of the Re-
publican aspirants is exceedingly
intense. But should all precedents
of the past be set aside to pacify
this partisan, selfish clamor? All
of my predecessors have been per-
mitted to serve their full terms;
most of them more; the last served
ID months after President Wilson's
inauguration. ~
1t therefore appears to me that
am the first and only person in
the public service under an ap-
pointment for a specific term who
has been requested to resign with
out being accused of any definite
failure or neglect of duty. This
matter has the appearance of per-
sonal spite or extreme radical po-
litical prejudice or greed, and l
would be very sorry indeed should
you lend the power Of your great
office-the greatest in all the
world-for the success of such mo-
tives.
Thoreson's name suggests vikings
and the sturdy fighters that wor
their way across the icy North At

West-Indian sandbank. This "sor
Of Thor" as his name means, is moi
going to put his head beneath the
placeman's ak without hard strug.

Evidently, the Administration has
been put in hole by its fool friends.
1t will take much time and spoils to
restore Utah to Republican "nor-
malcy."

the version of Arbuckle's remarks
given by Miss Blake, while Miss
Provost testified, "If you don't stop
yelling I'll throw you out the win

Both said that Arbuckle admin
istered ice to Miss Rape, Miss Pro-
vost saying that he accompanied it
with the Remark that that will bring
you to-" The prosecution however,
drew testimony from Miss Blake
which they said indicated there had
been another ice incident.
Another incident was told of by
Josephine Keza, a maid at the hotel,
who said that from the corridor she
heard screams from room 1919, the
room described by other witnesses
as the one which Miss Rape enter
ed with Arbuckle, and a woman's
voice crying, mo. no, oh, my God"
"Shut up" followed masculine
voice, according to Mrs. Keza, who
said she heard Screaming all after
noon in 1219," and Emusic, dancing
and doors slamming in room 122o,"
where the party was assembled.
Miss Provost described Mrs. Del
mont's condition at the party as

CONNECTICUT, TAKE
A LOOK AT HOME

"A IaVorlCe paSLlme OF the frlgl-
dair New Highlander is to dissect,
criticise and condemn all other sec
tons of the country that do not hap
pen to measure up to the New Eng
land idea of self restraint" In a re-
cent issue of the New Haven Jaurnal-
Courier, published in state where
brutes who rape women are released
on bail, is typical of the tolerant at
titude of the human cucumbers:
Gone must know the South to COM
prehend the Simmons idea. 1t is a
delightful district of flowers, chiv-
airy and rather ford poetry. 1t will
not be ungracious, however, to re-
mark that education drags there, and
that localism is dominant. There is
good deal of pure blood, by which
is meant that people do not travel
much or read The Atlantic Monthly.
immigration, the international mind
and humanity as a concept to dis
place nationalism are not topics over
the tea cups. The negro problem is
not half so serious as the problem of
the poor white, in fact, without the
latter, the other would largely dis
appear. The people-we are speak,
ing now of the triumphant Anglo
Saxon race-are not interested in
much except the price of cotton and
in reassuring each other that this is
a white mans country. The climate
is cordial and benign and great num-
bers of citizens spend much time in
paying it the supreme Endorsement
in a reclining position. The litter
acy of the colored people is appall-
ing but the self appreciation of those
who were born white is permanent
and satisfying. 1t is kindly soil for
the Ku Klux spirit. The poor white
gets his fun in lording it over the
black"

Oltl1natu1n
 To China Is
 Unavoidable

Tol1io, Sept 1s-CBy The A. P.)- Japan should adhere to the 21 de- mands she sent to China, and should insist upon an agreement in all the other engagements of that country, says a. resolution passed by the po- litica1 committee of the Kensei-Kai, or opposition party. M. Wakatsuki, manager of the party, and mem Der of the Kkuma cabinet, which con- cluded the treaty embodying the 21 demands, has issued statement in defense Of that convention. He de- clares that if Japan had territorial ambitions she could have seized part of China during the war instead of arranging a treaty designed to se- cure the economic development of China and Japan.
 tAn uItimatum to China is un- avoidable,'' the statement declares, because China has cancelled mat fers previously agreed to. Despite the denunciation of the treaty abroad it was the means of preserving peace in the Far East.''
 Japan in principle is ready for complete examination of all affairs connected with China. according to information reaching the Associated Press,
