METCALF CONDENSED

Nub oT the President's Special Agent's Report on the Jap School Issue. WHAT HE FOUND AT FBISCO Strong Sentiment Against the Japanese in the Labor Field. That Is the Crux of the Matter—How a Bpycott Was Bought Off— Belligerent Japanese Editor. Washington, Dec. 19. New light was thrown on the Japanese situation In California when President Roosevelt sent to congress a special message. accompanied by- the report of Secretary Metcalf on his recent investigation at San Francisco. The following Important points are made by Metcalf: 1. That only ninety-three Japanese children attended the San Francisco public grammar schools when the sepa-rate-school resolution was adopted. Hostility to the Japs. 2. That there is no objection by the administration to any .law which would limit the ages of school pupils so as to exclude grown Japanese. 8. That most of the “Jap” children virtually are debarred from school attendance because the building provided for them is Inaccessible. 4, That hostility toward the mikado's subjects has been shown In various ways, Including boycotts and assaults, even distinguished visitors not being safe. Comments of the President. In his message accompanying Metcalf’s report the president says: “I call your especial attention to the very small number of Japaneseehildren who attend school, to the testimony as to the brightness, cleanliness and good behavior of these Japanese children in the schools, and to the fact that, owing to their being scattered through the city, the requirement for them all to go to one special school is Impossible of fulfilment and means that they cannot have school facilities. «•••••• Treaty Is the “Supreme Law.”lßl “I authorized and directed Secretary Metcalf to state that if there was failure to protect persons and property. then the entire power of the federal government within the limits.of the constitution wonhl be used promptly anil vigorously to enforce the observance of our treaty, the supreme law of the land, * * * nnd all the forces of the United States, both civil and military, which I could lawfully employ, would he employed. POINTS FROM THE REPORT Trouble Started by Organized Labor— Boycott Graft. Secretary Metcalf’s report says that “The action of the hoard Tof education] In the passage of the resolutions of May <i. 1905, and Oct. 11, 1900, was undoubtedly largely influenced by the activity of the Japanese and Korean Exclusive League, an organization formed for the purpose of securing the enactment by the congress of the United States of a law extending the provisions of the existing Chinese exclusion act so as to exclude Japanese and uoreans. claims a membership In the stale of California of 78-500, three-fourths of which membership is said to he in the city of San Francisco. The membership is composed almost entirely of members of labor organizations." He refers to young Japanese men attending the primary grades and says: “I found the sentiment in the state very strong against Jnpanese yo’ung men attending the primary grades. Many of the people were outspoken in their condemnation of tills course, saying that they would take exactly the same stand against American young men of similar ages attending the primary grades. I am frank to say that this objection seems to me a most reasonable one.” He says that the state Is against Interference by the United States government In the matter on the ground of state’s rights, and that If the government Insists the state will go to the length of passing laws excluding all alien children from the schools, making the latter only open to the children of citizens. The crux of the whole question Is the labor question, It appears, the same objections being urged to the Japanese ns were nrged to the Chinese, and with greater vigor. Metcalf describes the cooks and waiters union’s boycott ngalnst the Japanese restaurants from Oct 3 to Oct. 24, which resulted In picketing and the usual violence. The Japs have a nnloti of their own, but their application for affiliation with the native union waa rejected. The .Taps finally concluded to buy off the boycott and actually did pay to the native union 1350 and the boycott ceased. During the agitation against the Japs many assaults were made and two of the victims of these assaults were professors of the Japanese Imperial university, who were atoned. Metcalf, however, says he is satisfied that none of the violence was done by union pickets.

DEATH THEIR DESERT

So the President Beys of the Negro Soldiers Who “Shot Up” Brownsville. Washington, Dec. 20. Words are not minced by President Roosevelt In a strong message on the Brownsville, Tex., incident sent to congress. The president justifies his discharge of three companies of colored soldiers on the plain ground that they are guilty of murder and of shielding murderers, and declares he could not do anything but dismiss them all. “The soldiers were the aggressors from start to finish,” declares the president after giving his own resume of the various official reports on the affair. The president goes over all the testimony nnd declares the investigation was fair and the evidence conclusive of the guilt of the soldiers. He declares the later investigations by friends of the soldiers have suggested explanations that are absurdities. He also cites several precedents for his action during the civil war, and declares that so far as the discharge of these soldiers being called punishment Is concerned that Is a mistake, for It Is utterly Inadequate; the only punishment need for such men being death.

ECONOMY IN THE WAY

Nothing Else to Prevent Competent Teacher? Getting Maximum Pay. LAW PROVIDES FOR THE RAISE Mighty Few School Boards, However Pay the Same—Thugs Play f a Joke on a Doctor, Indianapolis, Dec. 20.—The report of the state educational commission, appointed by Governor Hanly, under a joint resolution passed by both branches of the last legislature, shows a rather remarkable state of affairs as regards teachers’ salaries. It shows, in effect, that present laws are not so deficient relative to teachers’ salaries as has been but that the maximum salaries that may be paid under the present laws have not been paid in the great majority of the cities, towns and townships of the state. Teachers Should Get Busy. The report points to the moral that higher salaries may be obtained under the present laws, if each local community only wills it Under these circumstances the report, in a measure, puts the matter of better salaries up to the teachers themselves. On this point, the report says: “The remedy, it seems to us, Is largely In the hands of the teachers, who should direct more effort toward the cultivation in their communities of a healthful public sentiment in favor of fair compensation to teachers and a lengthening of the school term.” They Are Economioal Communities. In bearing out the statement that the maximum salaries are not paid now under the present laws, the report presents the following: “A study of the report presented to the Teachers’ association and adopted by it discloses the fact that only two of the eighty-four cities of the state were, at the time, paying the maximum salaries to teachers possible under the law; only twen-ty-nine of the 224 towns of the state, and only twenty-one of the 1.016 townships of the state were paying the maximum salaries to teachers possible under the law. \ “Money Saved Is Money Earned.” “Investigation discloses the fact that , many school corporations In the state neglect or refuse to avail themselves of the full, or even a part, proportion of the benefits of the local tax levies permitted them under the law. In many corporations the officials refuse to pay more than the minimum rate of wages nnd even insist upon employing teachers of inexperience or low qualifications, commanding the smallest rate of pay, and do this not because of any scarcity of funds, or the lack of means to raise them.” % THUGS DO A MEAN TRICK They Leave a Doctor’s Stolen Hat in a Store Which They Robbed. ■% Greenfield. Ind., Dec. 20.—Dr. Warren R. King, of this city, president of the Morton monument com mission, was placed in an embarrassing position last Saturday. Burglars who robbed a jewelry store at Peru last Friday night left a hat in the room. In the hat was a card bearing the name “Dr. Warren R. King, Greenfield, Ind.” The cltv marshal of Peru telephoned the police department in this city asking if such a man lived here. Inquiry developed that Dr. King had attended a union church service at Tomlinson hall, Indianapolis, a few weeks ago, and at its conclusion he found flint his hat had been taken from where he had left it and another substituted. The doctor was surprised to hear that it had turned up in a Peru jewelry store. Money for Orphans. Fort Wayne, Ind., Dec. 20.—An effort Is to l>e made by the women interested in maintaining the high standard of the county orphans’ home here to obtain n more favorable law from the next legislature.

Terre Hante, Ind., Dec. 20.—When Brakemaif Fred Miller, newly married, started on his run his -wife had a premonition and galled him hack three times to say good-bye.

PAIN Fain in the head—pain anywhere, has its causa. Pain is congestion, pain is blood pressure—nothing else usually. At least, so says Dr. Slfoop, and to prove it he has created a little pink tablet. That tablet—called Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablet — coaxes blood pressure away from pain centers. Its effect is charming, pleasingly delightful. Gently, though safely, it surely equalizes the blood circulation. If you have a headache, it's blood pressure. If it’s painful periods with women, same cause. If you are sleepless, restless, nervous, it’s blood congestion—blood pressure. That surely is a certainty, for Dr. Shoop’s Headache Tablets stop it In 90 minutes, and the tablets simply distribute the unnatural blood pressure. Bruise your finger, and doesn't It get red, and ■well, and pain you? Of course it does. It's congestion, blood pressure. You'll find it where pain to—always. It’s simply Common Sense. We sell at 28 cents, and cheerfully recommend Dr* Shoop’s Headache Tablets A. F. LONG.
