The aim is of course to end the operations of the scalpers. Whether it succeeds or not can be told in time. Leong study has been given to beating out the scalpers in ‘many other lines of their business without actually accomplishing the ' de-. sired results, but when people who seek accommodations on \Pullmen cars are made to yield to the profiteering de- mands of porters, bellboys and other in- dividuals it is a-most commendable move e raliroad te endeavor| Uiput thoss men ol o nim, ey Instances have been disclosed = Where| Trors Grober ™ Xyei:“ w° :r gy tickSt sellers have ot been averse to en-| " umen coversd Hia Tetat by diving fnto gaging in just such activities.

Inasmuch as it has been pos- sible for anyone to obtain Pullman car. tickets whether they had their transpor- tation ticket or nat, it was easy to re- alize a handsome profit thereon from those who were anxious to get this addi- tional aceommodation, whereas there was actually no good reason for it. Those who are to travel have a right to expect the ‘railroads to give them the service desired insofar as it is possible. Selling Pullman car tickets only to those with transportation ticke: should at least act as an obstacle to the open field that has been before he speftiators in the past. It is a move in the interest of the traveler who, even though the scalper’s tax didn't bother him, will have the sat- isfaction of kniowng that he is not being made thé victim in a premeditated hold- up game, .

In a literal sense of the word these men were not strag- jers, iy madr whiy were worn but and so utterly exhausted that further ef- fort was impossible. On the 18th of July Morgan was ap- proaching the Ohio River, near Buffing- ton Island not far from the historic Blen- nerhasset Island, expecting to cross into ‘West Virginia, with Hobson's command about eight hours in the rear.

When the army of the Cumber- land under Rosecrans was preparing for its Chickamauga campaign and Gen. Burniside’'s army of the Ohio was pre- paring for the advance into East Tennes- see, out of the night marched thousands of Confederate horsemen under the lead- ership of that most distinguished, cavalry raider, Gen. John H. Morgan.” They were headed to the north, and passed . be- tween the armies of Rosecrans and Burn- i DEALING WITH JAPAN. The country has watched with interest the poeition which has been taken by California, and the-feeling that has been manifested in other Pacific coast states, against the Japanese. It has followed the enactment of a state law which was be of the opinion that nothing e kind ex If all were sufficient- solicitous for the welfare of others there would be little need of enforce- ment. There are instances where due al- wanece has to be made for existing con- ditions but dangerous and bad walks hich are due to wilful neglect or care- lessness cannot be tolerated. e who do—mat clear their walks must expect to be reminded 'of it, while thase who earefully respond to their ob- ligations to others and to ’he law have every reason to expect that others will be held to their responsibilities. When the gecretary of the navy talks about the conservation of oil it "cannot ail to attract the attention of a great many people. Those who are interested n the consumption of oil include a.much larger number today than was the case a decade or two ago, and the supply of il does not appear to be inexhaustible. For that reason when the secretary urges legislation Jooking to the conservation of 0il he is bound to commiand attention even though his ideas may .not be en- d ed. Secretary Daniels believes for instance that fuel oil should be saved for ex- usive use at sea. In this connection he sparently has in mind not only the navy the large number of merchant ves- €2ls that are using that kind of fuel ex- clusively. That every possible waste in the use of oil should be stopped will be generally approved. It would not only insure a supply of oil for a longer period but it would probably have its effect upon the e, but when it comes to the conser- ion 6f oil for navigation purposes to the exclusion of the many demands for it on land it js doubted whether any such legislation could be obtained. If, however, the secretary has in mind the conservation of the oil for naval purposes only there will be much more force given to his effort, for with oil burning naval vessels it is of the great- importance that there should be a vuificient supply available at all times or the value of the navy is greatly re- luced. The navy is relied upon for pro- cction but it will be impossible for it to urnish such unless it can be operated. On the other hand should there be an nttempt made to Wwithhold oil from oth- ers in order to operate ships in general there would be a discrimination against other enterprises which would hardly be justified, since ships can be - operated with other fuel but in this age there are means of transportation which cannot be moved otherwize than with fuel oil or paryg thereof. v va THE ADJUSTMENT MEETING. When the coal operators- declined to open the award for increased wages to f1he hard coal miners they stated that if there be individual eases of inequality, they stand ready to agree upon a con-| structive remedy. That would seem to plainly indicate that if there were injus- tices placed tipon individual cases they tood ready to see that they were cor- rected that they might be in full accord with the terms of the commission. Not satisfied With the refusal of the coal operators to break the terms of the award which is considered binding upon both sides, the miners are now taking advantage of the operators’ offer to cor- rect the injustices in the award by ac- cepting their offer to adjust individual cases. From the attitude of the miners’ committee, however, there is apparently a determination to bring before the con- ference which has been endorsed by the géneral scale committee all the demands that wefe presented in the effort to have the ard reppened. Thus® instead of dealing with individyal cases of inequai- ities they hope to accomplish what they aimed at through a recpening 'of the award, This appears to be an effort which doesn't promise the success sought. That the miners' committee decides to t this offer indicates good judgment on its part, but to think that the same object Is going to be obtained as was ed at under the previous appeal is to Hold the jWwinion that Ul recent decision amount- intended to exclude the Japanese, and it Wwas cognizant of the reception it re-| ceived in Japan. ¢ The Japanese have done much for Cal- ifornia in the way of developing its resources. They have gone from work- ers to owners and today control a large share of the business activities in that part of the country. They have increased o such numbers and they have gained such a hold upon industry that Califer- nia is mueh- concerned for ~the future. The Japanese are a non-assimilative peo- ple. and for that reason stand in a much different position than others might in countries other than their own, and they must realize that the opposition that mrises is not excludive with this country. Other countries feel the same way and for the same reason. . Just what the method is going to'bé by which the injured pride of the Jap- anese is going to be dppeased, for re- gardless of known conditions they feel that it is a slight upon them as'a na- tion, will be disclosed by the nego‘iations for a new treaty which will be taken up by the state department and Baron Shidehara. There are intimations that it Will mean that California will take the rough edge off of its legislation by mak- ing it apply to all aliens. If that is done and Japan puts a stop Yo emigration te this country the sort spot should be heal- ed. Whatever is done in that direction, however, should be-done Wwith the inten- tion of being carried eut and not as a makeshift. It is a question which needs te be set- tled but it should be settled in a straight- forward manner without causing a break between the nations. EDITORIAL NOTES.

A particularly striking feature of this cavalry campaign was that it was wit- nessed by mere persons than any other military operation of the entire war. Thou- sands and tens of thousafds of citizens of Kentucky, Indiana and Ohio thronged the line of march taken by Morgan and pursuing forces under general Hobson. During all his operations Morgan and his chief lieutenant, Gen. were fxceedingly skilled in misleading the union forces. dustrious in giving. out.. the. information that they were 10,000 in_number, but as a mattér of fact, It-was on this raid that Morgan es- tablished the world's revord for The longest march made by his men at one stretch was nearly one hun- column, which Lispon in If.
