OUR TREATY WITH JAPAN.
It is quite apparent that the state
ment that the attempt of the Presi
dent to castigate San Francisco was
for the purpose of saving the face of
the Japanese had no foundation in
fact, and the story that there was
In contemplation a treaty by which
Japanese coolies would be excluded
was equally without a basis. When

RECIPROCAL DEMURRAGE.
The State Library Oonimlsslon has
Withered for the use of the members
of the Legislature the reciprocal de
nuirraKo laws of the different States
haviist such a provision in force. The
present agitation for a law ivsulut
Ittg railways brings many Inquiries
to the Commission as to tho number
of States that have lejtlslated on the
subject, and for the text of their
statutes. Those Inquiries come not
only from members of the legisla
ture, but from the public at largo.
Texas has the most stringent law
of the six states which have enact
ed laws on the subject. It makes the
penalty $25 a day for failure to fur
nish a car within 48 hours, to be re
covered by the shipper together with
all damages sustained by him. and he
is liable to the railroad In the same
amount.
Kansas has the latest law on this
subject. It was enacted last year and
while it contains some provisions not
found In the Texas law. the penalty on j
th? reciprocal reature is only $1 a
day.
Tb.r states that have passed recip
rocal demurrage laws are: Virginia.
North Carolina. Missouri. Kansas,
South Carolina ami Texas. However,
these are not all the states that have
such a frature in operation. Some
have railroad commissions with au
thority to promulgate rules concern
ing these matters and therefore at
tain the same end hut by a different
method. S.i I e m S t a l : sin a n .

would be a superfluity, as the exist
ing convention provides that either
country may make laws regulating the
entrance of laborers. The Springfield
Republican appears to be one of the
few papers familiar with the treaty.
In a recent Issue it said:
"It appears then, that the United
States and Japan are both free, in
accordance with the treaty of 1S94,
to enact laws excluding from its ports
each other's laborers, or regulati: g
their entrance. If Japan now should
enact such a law and the United
States should enact a similar one, the
object which the proposed new treaty
would seek to attain would be ac
complished without any treaty."
Almost every other Journal pub
lished on the other side of the Rocky
Mountains gave credence to the ab
surd story that there was to be a
new treaty, because none of them are
familiar with the existing treaty with
Japan. San Francisco Chronicle,
o
"RELIGIOUS LIBERTY."
The Pentecostal gang now doing its
alleged religious stunt in Salem and
Portland should be handled without
gloves by the authorities and be giv
en to understand, once for all, that
humbuggery of that nasty sort Is un
der the ban in Oregon. They are a
dangerous set and are playing upon
the natural conservatism of the people
In dealing with religious matters to
secure a degree of toleration and Im
munity in the practice of their rotten
code, that will eventuate in another
hideous exposition like that of the
Holy Rollers. The real religious man
or woman avoids such expression of
principle and devotion, and only Igno
ramuses, perverts and mindless crea
tures resort to such extremes as char
acterize this howling outfit up the val
ley. It is to be hoped the police pow
er of the city and county will be in
voked in flat fashion without loss of
time, and that the threatening evil will
be put down. Constitutional religious
freedom does not mean what these
people and their leaders mean, by a
long sight, and there are none in need
of proof of this so badly as the fool
"saints" and their silly victims.

GOVERNOR HUGHES' TALK.
It will pay every American to read
and remember the text of Governor
Hughes' inaugural address at the New
York capital on New Year's Day. It
Is the expression of a thoughtful, ear
nest, cultured mind, and exceedingly
apt to the hour and the conditions of
the nation. It is strictly, in harmony
with the views of the President on the
bases of popular disaffection and rem
edial courses; and if adhered to, will
lend palpable force to the accepted
group of worshippers, but this is In
evitable; and there Is a quota of good
about the plucky little fighting coon
that has a compensating element In
it. He sent his old "mammy" a check
for five thousand dollars the other
day, so that the ring-side money did
not all go Into the sporting slop-chests
of the west. The popular sport who
can think of his mother along such
palpable lines as this. Is pretty much
a man after all, and a fair example
for dissipated and reckless fellows of
his class, Including the whites,
o
GOOD OLD "MARK TWAIN."
For half a century Samuel L. Clem
ens has been cheering the world with
his quaint, rich humor, and making
things brighter for everybody. The
name of "Mark Twain" is a veritable
charm in this country and the laugh
ing world swears by the dear old
chap, who grows funnier with the
jars. Such delight as hp affords
leaves a lingering touch through days
and years and bobs up refreshingly
at all seasons, and the illimitable fea
ture of his humor Is the best part of
It; it never becomes trite. May the
narrowing years deal gently and most
happily with this man who has light
ened so many loads for others

It is rportd that the invisible
radium emanations affect germinating
seeds even when these are covered
with a layer of soil very much the
same as a too powerful application
of sunlight to the seed. In other words
the effect is similar to that produced
by too much light resulting in ;tn ar
resting of germination. The effect is
Influenced by the nature of the seed
covering, its distance from the source
of emanation and the quantity of moist
soil intervening.

APPEARANCES
Oi'ton a person is sized up by his appear
ance; by the tone that surrounds him. And
more often a business house is sized up by
the stationary it uses. A cheap letter
head or a poor bill head gives a mighty
poor first impression and makes business
harder to transact. Good printing costs no
more than poor printing. The first im
pression is half the battle in business.
You wouldn't employ a "sloppy" sales
man; why put up with "sloppy" station
ery, that gives a wrong impression of the
importance of your business. Let us do
your printing and help you to make that
ten strike.
