sjfei
Senator From Oregon
President of Inconsistency
sage to Congress in Favoring
Accuses the
In Mes
One
Rave Over the Other.,.
.Washington, D. C., Jan. 7.—In what
will probaoly be his lc.~t extended
speech in the senate, Senator Gearln
of Oregon today discussed his resolu
tion on the Japanese question, making
his argument in favor of doctrines of
states' rights, and the protection o!,
labor by the exclusion of coolies from
both China and Japan.
He criticised the stand taken by
President Roosevelt on the Japanese
question as.to his interpretation of the
existing treaty with .Japan, and charg
ed that the President's position in
regard to the introduction of cheap
labor as applied to the Chinese was
inconsistent with his recent message
to congress in regard to the treat
ment of Japanese on the Pacific coast.
Gearln said there's not one single
objection that was ever usged against
the Chinese laborer that does not
apply with equal force against the
Japanese laborer.
In what probably will be his only ex
tended speech In the senate, Mr. Gear
,* in today discussed his resolution on the
Japanese question, making: an argru
ment ih favor of the doctrine of states
rights and protection of labor by the
exclusion of coolies from both China
and Japan. He criticisejd the stand
taken by President Roosevelt on the
Japanese question as to his interpreta
ion of the existing, treaty with. Japan
and charged that the President's posi
timi in regard to the .introduction of
cheap TSnsttr as -applied to -the Chinese
was inconsistent with his recent mes
sage to congress in regard to the treat
ment of the Japanese on the Pacific
coast.
California Under No Obligation.
^"California," said Mr. Gearin, is un
der no obligations to the federal gov
ernment to have public schools or any
kind of schools at all. And if she does
have them, it is her province and not
that of the federal government to. say
how they shall be maintained and how
conducted and under what conditions."
Replying to the claim in the Presi
dent's message that the treaty with Ja
pan guarantees to Japanese- children
the ri -ht to attend- the public school
of all the states in the union and to
attend them in company with white
children. Mr. Gearin denied emphat
ically that there is any provision in the
treaty which by any sort of construe
tion can be made to support such a
claim. He says that nothing is said in
the treaty as to the right to, attend
public schools and that the specific
enumeration of who was intended by
the framers of the treaty showed that
nothing should be left to inference. He
quoted from the treaty to show that
Japanese residing in this country ma"
have the privileges enumerated only by
conforming to ail the laws, police and
custom regulations of the country, like
native oitizens and subjects, and that
this meant state laws as well as federal
laws. "This government might as well
stand upon that interpretation and de
cline to consider it further," he said.
In advocating a modification of the
treaty which should restrict the immi
gration of the Japanese coolie labor,
Mr. Gearin said that so long as these
laborers are permitted to come into this
country in hordes there will be a con
stant and growing dissatisfaction on
the Pacific coast which eventually mu'
bring about a restriction. He spok
of the influx of cheap Japanese labor
as a threatened peril to every industry
and enterprise of the United States,
"In the school of bitter experience," he
said, "we have learned that the unre-"
stricted immigration of Asiatic laborers
to this country is a curse, an incentive
to disorder and a menace to the welfare
and happiness and, prosperity of the
laboring men of America."
Some Means Questionable,
Speaking feelingly of the competition
of the Chinaman, he told of the rec
ognized necessity of bringing it to an
end, and said:
"Some of the means adopted to bring
about that end were perhaps question
able—might perhaps not measure up to
the high standard set by the sentimen
tal altruistic amateur political econo
mists who prattle about the brother
hood of man—might not perhaps meet
the approval of the present adminis
tration. But to those who understood
the situation, the revolt of labor
against this ruinous and degrading
competition was justifiable—not only
justifiable but commendable, and the
Chinese exclusion act has been regard
ed by our people as the best piece of
legislation that was ever" enacted for
the Pacific coast and for the nation in
directly."
Mr. Gearin pictured the probable re
sult of permitting from one to five
million Japanese laborers come into the
United States, and declared that in the
interest of our people, institutions and
government, it should be stopped now
and forever. He said that such action
would not be an affront to a friendly
nation, as it would be an act of tha
wisest statesmanship in the interests of
"our own."
Again, he said, "We have a right to
protect ourselves an£ we must protect
ourselves or go to the wall in the
world's competition."
He argued that the yellow and white
"races never have mixed and never can

DES MOINES WOMAN, EXPERT
PUAYER, STOPS SERMON TO
RENOUNCE GAME
Des Moines, Jan. 7.—Before a con
gregation of nearly a thousand persons
and while the preacher was in the
midst of his sermon, Mrs. A. B. Sims,
a society woman and holder of the na
tional woman's whist championship,
arose yesterday in the University
Church of Christ and denounced card
playing as a sin.
Mrs. Sims is one of the most promin
ent women tha city. For -many
years phe has been" an active member
of women's clubs, which affect whist
and ether card games. Two years ago
Mrs. Sims won tlfe first prize for wo
men in the whist tournament held at
Cleveland. Last year at St. Louis she
won the national woman's champion
Ship.
It is said that recent evangelical
meetings held in the city are responsi
ble for the change in Mrs. Sims' ideas.
She attended all of these meetings,
which lasted for three weeks, and
since that time has come to the con
clusion that all card games are wrong.
During the service yesterday Mrs.
Sims impulsively stood up and re
nounced card playing forever.
Her friends in the congregation who
knew of tyer pride in her whist tri
umphs, gasped in amazement. She
had told no one of her intentions.

JUVENILE COURT
BILL PREPARED
JUDGE HOWE WILL FOLLOW
JUDGE LINDSEY'S OPERA
TIVE IN'DENVER
Des Moines, Jan. 7.—Judge James
A. Howe, who stands second only to
Judge Lindsey of Danver in his hand
ling of juvenile cases in Juvenile
court, is preparing a bill for the com
Ing legislature, recommending that
several amendments to the present ju
venile law be added at the coming
session.
Who will introduce the bill has not
been given out by Judge Howe, but it
will probably turned over to one of
Polk county's representatives.
The bill is the result of a conference
suggested by Judge Howe, at which
the boad of supervisors and a number
of others interested in the work of the
juvenile court were present.
The present juvenile bill Is faulty,
in the opinion of Judge Howe, in that
the juveniles are not provided with a
detention home. In his bill he will
suggest, that such a home be provided,
that probation officers be employed,
and that any adult contributing to the
criminal tendency of the child be pun
ished.
Judge Howe' work in juvenile court
has been the subject of much commen
dation, not only in Des Moines, but
throughout the state and middle west
generally. He hns delivered a num
ber of addresses on the subject, one
of which, given at Grinnell,.attracted
considerable attention.

CONGRESSMAN CONNER OF THE
TENTH DISTRICT SAYS MAY BE
GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP
Washington. D. C., Jan. 7.—"In my
judgment the effect of the recent and
numerous appalling railway accidents
will be to speadily lead to government
ownership of the railroads, unless the
railroads, on their own motion or as a
result of congressional legislation,
adopt measures that will render such
accidents impossible and Insure public
safety in travel."
The foregoing statement was made
to Congiessman Conner of
the tenth district. Continuing he sail:
"The people of this country will not
stand for the slaughter of people such
as we have witnessed the past few
weeks. They will demand of congress
that the question be given most Beach
ing investigation at once, with a view
of determining where the blame lies.
It it is due to human carelessness
then a demand will be made that the
railroads be compelled to adopt me
chanical devices that are of such char
acter that accidents the unavoidable
class will cease. If congress has not
authority to handle the question if it
shall be unable to compel' such action
on the part of the railroads: or if the
railroads themselves claim. they have
done all that they can, then the people
will demand that the government take
charge of the railroads and conduct
them In such a .manner that a person
will not take his life in his hands
every time he boards a train."
Lacey Takes Issue.
Congressman Lacey, of the Sixth
district, seemed to question if congress
oould do much In the way of compell
ing railroads to be more careful, un
less it would be to compel every train
to stop at every station and not pro
ceed until it should bo definitely
known that the track between that
station and the next was absolutely
clear of rolling stock.
"The trouble may be charged to
prosperity," remarked Major Lacey.
"The country is too prosperous: it is
doing too much business and the rail
roads are swamped with business, both
freight and passenger. The whole
scheme has become too big and cum
bersome. There Is a limit .•to.tke grasp
even of our cleyerest men they con
not do everything and the fact, is the
rallroadB have" become so great
through mergers and absorptions aud
taking in of feeders and smaller lines
that it appears to be imposible to han
del them with safety to travelers. It
there were many more railroads and
they 'were smaller so that the mana
gers and train dispatchers and other
officials had less territory to cover
there would be fewer accidents.
'i Grows Sarcastic." ..
"But I can tell you a sure remedy
for it all," continued Major Lacey. "All
it Is necessary to do is to revise the
tariff, turn the country over to the de
mocratic party and- these horrible ac
cidents, entailing the loss of hundreds
of lives, will practically ceasc. Give
us a'democratic administration—and
evidently this Is what a good many
people appear to desire—and this con
gestion on railroads will terminate.
There will be plenty of room then on
the track for all trains, without at
tempting to have two trains occupy
the same track at the same time.
There will be no surplus of freight to
be hauled and no shortage of cars or
of motive power. Half as many trains,
half as often will do all the business
.nd head-on and rear-end collisions
will become almost unknown."
Congressman Lacey is not disposed
io take Congressman (jonner'3 view
with respect to government owner
ship. He does not belive the govern
ment would be likely to run the rail
roads with les.i accidents than the
present management.
Congress May Probe.
It is very evident that the appaltng
wreck at Terra* Cotta will aflrve a use
ful purpose in that it will, by reason
of the fact that it occurred within the
District of Columbia, enable congress
to g-. at tho bottom of the accident
first hand. In fact .e District au
thorities are going after tho railroad
officia's and crew in a man nor that
looks like business. Later congress
will go over the same ground
Thus far it appears that the train
crew ia attempting to saddle the blame
on tho operator ti-J operator tays it
on 'kv engineer and the public Is dis
pc'-.(! to charge a gc».l deal of the
blniue upon the train dispatcher am
the general looseness of the system
i:i fact admissions have been made al
ready which indicate almost criminal
iCi ab.'ity on the pa oi officials in
permiti ng r: ies tc he strained or
broken repeatedly without apparent
notice.
The managers of railroads are in de
spair over the situation. They claim
to have provided every possible pre
caution, all of which goes for naught
because of the forgetfulness or care
lessness of men in subordinate posi
tions. Another phase of the matter
also interests the managers and stock
holders aside from the frightful mor
tality, and that is the hole such ac
cidents made in the treasury. It will
ct.st the B. & O. millions of dollars
to settle the claims in the late Terra
Cotta wreck enough, it is said,
seriotisly Interfere with the usual tlivi
dend.
It is caite certain that congress
thorouhly aroused and that as a re
suit of investigation and ieglslaf.on
the public safety will be increased.
