WHAT'S DOING IN POLITICS Most Momentous Campaign Since 1860 Corporations on One Side, Common People on Other—Machine Ridden That the action of the Republican State Central Committee in calling a convention for May 2d to select a candidate for president, when everybody living in the State is solid for Taft, was part of a cut and dried scheme on the part of the Harriman machine to defeat the will of the people, or to place it in obeyance until such time as it might be in a great part nullified or set aside, is becoming more and more apparent every day. That the action of the machine in California was in concert with that in other states, admits of no doubt. In New York the machine is lined up for Hughes, and in Illinois, Indiana and other states the hand of the machine is hidden by the "favorite son" dodge. These powerful influences are lined up against the common people, and from one end of the country to the other the fight is on. Let California republicans be not "asleep at the switch" as the day of the convention draws nigh. Let them be alert and alive to their duty. They were given a slap in the face by Gen. Stone and railroad hirelings controlling the State Central Committee. A formal endorsement for Taft by the committee would have been an incalculable aid to the people's choice for president. This was denied, because Mr. Harriman ordered it. Let the people's answer on May 2d be forceable and emphatic. Let the chorus resound from Siskiyou to San Diego, from the 'Sierras to the sea. by powerful corporation infusing whose interests are bound up passenger trade in coolies. A traveler in Japan thus describes situation: "When I left Japan three days ago the pressure brought to me the emigration companies upon ministry had been felt. I believe now the pressure must be strong is exerted directly through the dous influence of the recently cated emigration companies in whole empire. Formerly there were 15 or 16 companies doing business the shipment of coolies on connie America, Hawaii, Alaska and very lately these have amalgamated five, among which a strong mutual interest exists. The emigration for that is practically what it aims to, has sufficient representation Japanese parliament to make itsence far from a negligible quarrels the greatest factor makes for the weakening of the ministry in the emigration quest an element purely Japanese, and out a counterpart in any other case the shoshi. If the American can conceal national guild or union of rough blackguards, bound together by secret organization of which knows anything definitely and puts to be a professional disturbing eagle whenever its services are relied upon he may form an idea of them of Japan. They are the ward house of a district, for instance, with national existence and power. All the shoshi were used as the tools head politicians during the Sepulchre riots following the signing of the Portsmouth, and in just the case of trouble brewers and menace to the emigration companies have this large element of the slum population with themselves." It is this alliance between coalition and greed and the mob spills ministry fears. If they shoot driven from power the reins of government might fall into the hands fire eating Count Okuma, whose actions on this question are known few weeks ago being asked to The announcement of Gov. Hughes of New York that he is a candidate for the presidency, fixes the lines along which the mighty political battle will be fought. There is good reason to consider the coming political contest the most important fight in this country since 1860. All who believe wholly in Roosevelt, in his methods and in his policies, are aligned with the great number of sturdy and substantial citizens who disapprove of some of Roosevelt's methods, who criticize his personality, but who believe that his policies contain the only principles by which the freedom of this government can be perpetuated. Taft will be the choice of the citizenship thus arrayed, and Rooseveltism will be the great power behind this army. All those who hate Roosevelt, who detest his methods and are hostile to his policies, together with all criminal combinations of capital, all law-defying corporate forces and their political servants and dependents, will compose the other army. Hughes will be the choice of these, and Wall Street will be the mighty power behind their host. This line-up has been in progress for weeks. The whole drift of sentiment has been that way. The anti-Roosevelt feeling has been tested throughout the country and it has not been found ready to unite on Hughes if he sanctioned the use of his name. The announcement of his candidacy a few days ago was all that was necessary. It means that both sides will stand or fall by their present champions—Taft and Hughes. Wall Street always is wise enough to take the best it can get if it can not get what it wants. In Hughes it knows it has not a sycophantic tool or subservient supporter. But the nomination of Hughes would be a defeat both of Roosevelt and Rooseveltism—not only a personal rebuke but a moral rout of Portsmouth, and in just the case of trouble brewers and menace to the emigration companies have this large element of the slum population with themselves." It is this alliance between coalition and greed and the mob spills ministry fears. If they shoot driven from power the reins of government might fall into the hands fire eating Count Okuma, whose actions on this question are known few weeks ago, being asked to ex himself on the immigration matter said: "If America is sending them around as a treat to Japan she better look out, for she will surelyfer the same fate as Russia." Of we need not attach too much distance to the words of a politician to create capital, but the face Okuma talks in that braggart shows that his opinion is backed strong Japanese sentiment. If politics succeed in stopping the nation of immigration by Japan we have to put in the plug at the end by a rigid exclusion law. Let's take another crack at J Nobody seems to be doing politics except a few spittoon-cleaners for railroad push, since the state committee set over the question settling whether California is ruled by the people or by the rail until primary election of May Japan is facing a large assortment troubles connected with revenue penditures and taxation. It is rich country. Its population is crowded, and while industrious and ingent, is accustomed to small wives and what western countries would sider limited fare. In its great remarkable effort to defend itself from the advance of Russia from the direction of Siberia, Japan developed idea that it would henceforth be on the leading world powers. But role requires much more than a general spirit of courage and national tion, or a genius for successful intion in military and naval affairs. Among the things required are a deal of money and high credit. They are not among Japan's possessions public revenue is moderate, its high, and increasing, and it finds rowing difficult even at a comparative high rate of interest. his candidacy a few days ago was all that was necessary. It means that both sides will stand or fall by their present champions—Taft and Hughes. Wall Street always is wise enough to take the best it can get if it can not get what it wants. In Hughes it knows it has not a sycophantic tool or subservient supporter. But the nomination of Hughes would be a defeat both of Roosevelt and Rooseveltism—not only a personal rebuke but a moral rout of the policies which Roosevelt represents. Republican government is on trial. The issue cannot be estimated less seriously. The standards set up by Roosevelt are simply that money shall not control and conduct this government, but must be confined to its rightful financial and commercial functions; that all men shall be equal in the eye of the law; that capital, investment and every agency of development shall be encouraged up to, but not an inch beyond, the point where the tyranny of illegal and inequitable privilege is demanded; that all classes shall be ruled by business probity and the square deal. The defeat of Rooseveltism means national surrender to the money power and forces of evil. Whatever may be in the mind of Hughes this would be the consequence of his nomination. Japan has troubles of her own about politics. Complicated questions of immigration confuse the political problem in that country and, in fact, may drive the ministry from power by exciting popular feeling against measures designed to restrict the number of coolies leaving for this country. The interesting thing is that this hostile feeling is being assiduously cultivated Japan has some expensive responsibilities in Korea, Formosa and Port Arthur region. To engage in foreign war that could be honored avoided would be financially ruinous. A number of newspapers in Europe continue to insist that a war is so approaching between the United States and Japan. Perhaps the stock jobs are back of this idle clamor, for nothing more. What reason is there for such a conflict? The United States will defend its own in the Pacific, no country could reasonably obey. We shall stand by the open door of the East, but this attitude is not nor has Japan ever questioned it. To immigration, each country will sue, under a spirit of general friendliness, such domestic policies as seem to be necessary. No international custom requires the admission of unrestricted immigration. Irruption of foreigners held to be dangerous would be checked by any country. No occasion exists for war between the United States and Japan and the chance is remote that any arise.

Parker and Judge McKinley, denunciations of both of whom have filled colums of the Times, appear to be no longer persons non gratae to the general. Perhaps, too, Herrin hypnotized the general while the latter was visiting San Francisco shortly after the fire. At any rate, the two, who hardly spoke before that time, were very thick and chummy then. Maybe, too, Herrin has succeeded in convincing the general that he was always, in spite of all appearances, his "cher ami," his "amigo mio," so to speak, and that all the bad things he has said of the general are to be taken in a Pickwikian sense. At any rate, an alliance between Herrin and Otis would be an unholy one, and, like one between de Young would "arouse the gaiety of nations." Keeping Out Pests According to a recent report made by Horticultural Commissioner Ehrhorn of San Francisco, there was a much larger amount of diseased fruit, vegetables and trees received at San Francisco during 1907 than in 1906, officers of the commission having to destroy 15½ per cent of the shipments last year, as against only two per cent the year previous. This, says Mr. Ehrhorn, was due to the finding of a new pest in the apple shipments from the Puget Sound country, a new disease in onions, and the condemnation of all Japanese oranges infested with cladosporium citri—a fungus which causes ugly blemishes on the skin. One shipment of 6005 boxes of apples from Bellingham, Wash., was shipped back, and in one instance 2424 boxes of Japanese oranges were carried out to sea and dumped. A number of other shipments had to be destroyed for one cause or another. The report shows during 1907 there were received at San Francisco from 250 steamers -81,642 boxes, crates, packages, etc., of fruit and vegetables and 616 of trees and plants; 3458 cases, crates and boxes came by rail, and 1180 loose lots were examined. Of the total number 10,329 were destroyed. Our Atlantic Naval Strike A new battleship of the fathte Mississippi, has just given commission with appropriate excises at the navy yard in the ware River.

Of the total number 10,329 were destroyed. Contest for Estate A contest was begun Monday to the petition of Adolph Rueff that he be appointed guardian of Jacob Heberle, one of the contestants of the George Heberle will, which contest is now before the supreme court. George Heberle left an estate valued at $180,000, and his will gave Jacob Heberle the income of $12,000. STRAY BITS OF INFORMATION The United States now takes half the world's crop of rubber. France spends 35 per cent of her resources on military preparations. England makes but a third of the machinery used by its farmers. On the remainder $1,308,000 worth of it comes from America, and $212,000 from Canada. Germany heads the list as a reading nation and Russia is falling to zero. In 1893, 23,607 books were published in Germany as compared with 8082 in Russia. In regard to newspapers the inhabitants of the United States are catered to by 22,000 journals, while Russia, with a population of 130,000,000 has only 800.
