HERE is before Congress a bill for an act to im- pose a head tax upon all aliens entering the United States for transit through the country. This bill is said to be the work of the Federal Commissioner of Immigration. If it become a law, all people from other countries, entering the United States on tour, or for transit from one coast or port to another, will be sub- jected to a head tax. Professor Bryce coming here to study our institutions would be compelled to pay it. So also would Admiral Beresford of the British navy, if he came again to visit our commercial bodies, and all of the foreign visitors to the St. Louis Exposition would be mulct alike. . We are not aware that any other country has such a the producers and dealers. The retail grocerymen stand next to the consumer, between him and the producer and manufacturer. When they show this excellent deter- mination to secure purity of the articles in which they deal, and enforce it by refusing to handle goods that are impure, a long and important step will be taken admoni- tory to the producer and manufacturer. Perhaps the negative resistance to sophistication is the most power- ful. When the retailers combine to sell only an article that is pure, the same class of goods impeached for im- purity will be cut off from the means of reaching the consumer, and to find a market - their producers must conform to the sanitary standard. One objection heretofore urged to the pure food movement has been the supposed necessity of blacklist- TALK OF The Father. Pietro wanted of all things in life—a goat. Every morning when he went down the hill to his work in the smell- ing kitchen of Lombardo’'s restaurant he would stop off at the home of old | Gregorio, theré in the little green patch on the edge of the quarry, and he would look longingly at the little brown and | white mottled kid which skipped about | on the hill crest with Its queer little stift legged hops, so near and yet so far out of reach. For old Gregorio had said that he would sell it for $2 if Pletro could raise the money before the | end of the month; otherwise the gay little animal went to the butcher. THE TOWl;JI So it was that every evening when | Pietro had climbed up the cleated streets of the hill and found himself | g again in his cubbyhole of a room he would go to the mattress on the floor and pull out from under it the shiny ing and exposing noxious and unfit goods. This is ob- viated by whitelisting pure and fit products. In that way the producers and manufacturers who strictly ob- | serve the principles of commercial honor get their re- ward and the adulterators get their lesson. cessantly and is therefore causing | them to expand to their fullest extent.

In sounding it the pupil | | must think of the imaginary circle (ex- | plained in the last lesson), and must | try to make that circle cover as large | ’.A space as possible, as the tone follows | {it. To aid him in this he may i casionally describe the circle with his || hand and arm, while singing the note. | | | This will help to keep tae voice free, and will promote roundness of tone az} oc- | the same time.

In order to keep the proper | rhythm (the exercise is to be sung in | four-four time) the final C is held four times as long as the other notes, as I, explained before. This enables the pu- | pil's voice to traverse the imaginary circle four times in succession on this note, helped by four evolutions of his hand and arm. It will, Indeed, be a | help, for holding this note four beats is the pupii’s first attempt -t a sustained | tone. If the breath (and therefore tone) gives out before the end of the fourth beat it need not worry him at all.

As I said in the last lesson, we must be careful to go neither too low nor too high in these first exercises, particularly with a child’s voice. There is another suggestion I will gi: for keeping a good tone when once it 18] acquired. Take, for instance, our exer- cise of to-day's lesson. When starting on C tell the pupil to think of the note the piano. Let him, an exercise through on the piano after he will see whether or If not, method T !‘ Now we will take up another singing | siveness and isolation. Just why the enactment of such a law is sought has not been made plain. Granting the right of this country to restrict undesirable immigration by imposing a head tax on those who come to enjoy our institutions and op- portunities, as permanent settlers and intended citizens, this new measure in no way responds to that proper pol- icy. As a revenue measure it is not needed, as we are not in necessity for the money. In a large view this | country cannot afford to set up a policy of isolation that will exclude the class of alien travelers that will be turned away by such a law. We want them to come, to use our facilities for travel and transit, to compare our methods of transportation with those of the countries from which they come, and to have free access to every part of our country for the purposes of pleasure and observation. It may be said that the amount of the head: tax im- posed will not deter that class of people. But the amount exacted does not figure in the matter at all. The | sentiment counts with the class of people who will avoid us if the law pass. We boast, justly, of having created a | great country, with institutions which are the admiration of the world, with productive and industrial energies that have given us the primacy of the world’s commerce, and it will be a petty policy to charge an admission fee to those who want to come and look upon what we have done, to return to their own country and tell of the wonders they have seen. The effect will be to exclude all such people who will resent the regulation as an in- dignity, and we will be put in the same class as Russia and Tibet. It is strange that any one should propose a regulation that is but a modification of the isolation so long maintained by China, Japan and Korea, which we have aided in breaking down in those countries, bene- ficially to them and the world. All American shipping and transportation interests should protest against it. We are now on the highway | around the world. Our Atlantic and Pacific liners carry | great numbers of first-class passengers, who seek enjoy- ment of our facilities for travel and observation. They contribute not only an important but a necessary ‘part of the income which keeps these American enterprises gZ)- ing. In respect of the facilities which they furnish we have active and able rivals in the Canadian railways and steamship iines on both oceans. These compete severely now for such business, and get a considerable share of it. This competition is made sharper every year by the pos- sibility of combined rail and water rates, permitted on the Canadian lines, but not in practice on the American lines. 1i the head tax be imposed it will mean the end of our efforts to compete. The first-class transit business will be diverted to the lines of Canada, and a blow will have been struck at American shipping and transportation in- terests. It is a bad time to make such an issue. We are reaching out for other markets and more foreign tradg. We have an annual surplus of the products of agricuitdre and manufactures. We are being jealously watched by our rivals in both. They are ready to seize upon any fact and to appeal to any prejudice that may put us at a dis- advantage. Nothing can be devised that will better serve the purpose of our commercial rivals than this pro- posed law. It can be used all over Europe as an argu- ment against us, and as an appeal to prejudice that may well countervail all of the advantages we now have in resources and production. Until some reasons are furnished for such a remark- able and injuriohs proposition, all we can do is to take it for what it appears to be upon its face, and resist its enactment into law. When the reasons for it are given, they will be subject to impartial examination, but at present it is believed that no theoretical benefits can off- set the practical disadvantages which are apparent. An Oakland creature, misnanted a man because of the poverty of the language, was sentenced to six months’ imorisonment the other day for brutally beating his mother. What a pity it is that justice in cases like this is circumscribed by civilized punishments. An animal that beats its mother should be branded to warn all liv- ing things to beware. A PURE FOOD EXPOSITION. HE retail grocers of San Francisco do themselves much honor, and promise much benefit fo the community, by their proposed pure food exposi- tion, to be held here in April. The work of the Agricul- tural Department has disclosed d@n alarming condition of sophistication in imported wines and glassed and tinned goods. It is estimated that three-fourths of the foreign wines we take every year are adulterated. This adulter- ation is not confined to such frauds as dried apple cham- pagne, and still wines treated with gypsum and anti- ferments, but includes the use of agents dangerous to health. s California is vitally interested in the exposure of these adulterations, and in establishing her own commercial honor, because we produce and purvey a majority of the ve ! articles which are the subject of adulteration abroad. | Other nations are as particular as we are about the sanitary conditions of their imports, and one necessary The general public will show a proper spirit of en- couragement of a movement that so intimately concerns its welfare. These retailers stand for the cradle and against the grave, for a chance for children to grow in strength unpoisoned by the food they eat, and for the health of men and women, and for that vigor which equips them for the duties of life. * A young man of this city, who was draughtsman by day, counterfeiter by night a!|(f professedly a Christian on Sunday, has met the fate of everybody who tries to be a jack-of-all-trades and a master of none. To have been successful in any one of the three professions he essayed would have consumed all of his time and intel- ligent activity. A Merchant Marine and Fisheries a number of im- portant facts were submitted bearing upon the urgent need of legislation for the upbuilding of our mer- chant marine. To a large extent of course the facts were essentially the same that have been so often repeated OCEAN SHIPPING INTERESTS. T a recent hearing before the House Committee on during the campaign of education carried on by the! friends of American shipping, but some of the statements concerning the personal experiences of shipowners and shipbuilders were new and merit attention by reason of the light they throw upon the obstacles in the way of our shipowners when competing for trade against the subsi- dized ships of other nations. One of the most interesting of these personal state- ments was made by Alfred Windsor, president of the Boston Steamship Company. A report of the hearing, given by the Washington correspondent of the Iron Age, says: Mr. Windsor gave some practical illustfations of present conditions in the shipbuilding industry. Several years ago, when the subject of aiding the merchant ma- Company began to build a 3000-ton vessel, and another new company was started which built two vessels of 12,- 000, tonis, capacity each. The original intention was to run them to England, but the expected Congressional aid did not come, and it was soon reen that there was no opportunity in running to British ports against the sub- sidized mail steamers. Then the company made up its mind that, as the United States had taken possession of the Philippine Islands, there was a chance to build up a line to Manila. The ships referred to were therefore placed on the Pacific Coast and were run from Pugefl‘ Sound and Seattle to Japan, Hongkong, Manila, Viadi- vostok and Port Arthur. But right alongside of these vessels a line of DBritish ships is running, that of the Canadian Pacific Steamship Company, subsidized to the amount of $300,000 a year, while running directly into Seattle is a Japanese steamship line receiving, $800,000 per annum in subsidies in addition to a bounty of $10 per ton for every ship that is built. There is not sufficient merchandise moving to and from the Philippines to begin to load the company's large ships and a heavy annual loss is being made. Such a husiness cannot be carried on indefinitely and the only end in sight is the hauling off of those ships or placing them under a foreign flag.” The experience of the Boston Steamship Company is not an isolated case. As a matter of fact the inability of American ships to compete with the subsidized lines of other countries is now so well recognized that the con- struction of deep sea vessels in American shipyards for American owners has virtually ceased. It is stated that since June, 1901, not a keel has been laid in any American shipyard on either coast of the United States for one steel ship designed for foreign tommerce. That is the condition to which our once proud shipping industry has been reduced. While our foreign trade is advancing by leaps and bounds we are paying tribute to foreigners to carry it, as if we were incapable of maintaining a mer- chant marine of our own With something of a spectacular flourish and a touch of sentiment, that carries more than a suggestion of sham, Japan has made known to the world that the court jewels are to be pledged to increase the war funds. In our stern matter of fact days, however, accu- racy of gun fire, not maudlin sentimentality, counts in the game of war. A plethoric war chest is the most vital element in war's success. A United States lieutenant and six privates contrib- uted with their lives recently to our splendid scheme of imperialism and expansion. The unfortunates were murdered by the natives of Samar, who are now in the process of civilization. Few of us even know the names of the victims.” Fewer still even care who they were. As our mass expands its individual components become of less and less importance. st i e Perhaps the affair that most deeply concerns Oakland as a municipality at the present time is a united effort of her citizens to beautify their town. No worthier pur- pose can inspire the people. We give too much to util- ity. too little to the ideal; too much to commercialism, too little to that ultimate purpose for the success of which commercialism should be only a means to an end. | | | ! paused at the sound of the { here in town, cylinder bank for dimes which he had received from the good priest on Christmas. Day by day the increas- ing pile of dimes within registered | nearer and nearer to the $2 mark, and Pietro had already made arrangements with Beronio to allow his kid the run of the little back yard up near where the old castle used to stand. One gray night when Pietro had climbed back to the dingy shanty he called home he heard the familiar sound of woman's walling and hoarse curses within. The father was drunk again. Pietre sneaked in by the back way and was stealing to his room on the top floor, when he sickened and family racket coming from his own room. He peeped through the open door. There was the father bending over something held up to the dim light at the window, cursing as he worked at | it with a knife. The mother was rock- ing from side to side on the bed, feebly | beseeching the father to cease. | Hardly had Pietro had time to gasp | when there was a sharp click, a thickly muttered “ah-h” from the father, and from the little bank which he held in his great red hand there flowed a silver stream, tinkling into his pocket. | And the morrow was the last day of | the month. | | Saving His Wages. “It is really remarkable what some imen will do when their appetites are stronger than their wills,” said a cer- tain prominent attorney to a group of listeners down in the clerk’'s office of the United States District Court the other day. “Now 1 know a printer who is em- | ployed on one of the morning papers | who has to take a re- markable precaution against his love ; : e o le tipple on each recurrent rine was agitated in Congress, the Boston Steamship | sy Tty Spie 8 = Saturday night.

A professor in the university lifted | his pen against the palm and he is from a wintry country; he desires to give a winter aspect to our cities.” The professor has captured our city government. I have not heard of a single property owner on the avenue who wants the elm tree. Their objections to it would take up too much space in your paper. I have informed Mayor Olney myself of the people's opposition to the elm, but he says it has been decided upon: that on the streets running north and south it will be the elm or sycamore and east and west the palm. That is the way the matter stands. Southern California will be all summer in appearance and we will be half and half—half summer and half winter. This to please a professor of the uni- versity.

The oconomists, for instance, may find consolation in the statement made here that the pension system was the greatest as a burden to the people of the United States in 1893, since which time the burden has been constantly decreasing until it has shrunk in ten years from $2 24 to $1 32 per $1000 of taxable wealth. In ten years more, Mr. Ware thinks, the burden will cease estimates that if the pension laws Ware re- main unchanged this army in five vears more will be reduced to about 80,000 and in ten years will cease to be a factor.

But the meager | telegrams, that leave most of the story untold, indicate nevertheless with t rible clearness that the white cona ors are fighting a hard-pressed battle, not only for supremacy but for exist- ence. A small host of civilized men trusting to the power of higher intelli- gence and modern implements of war have pitched themselves against the overwhelming numbers of a barbaric native population. And, as always when such is the case, a struggle be- tween the invaders and the indigenous threatens to bring with it that most awful feature of war—the massacreing of women and children. Rumors have already told of the slaughtering of whole German families and the tortu ing of captives by the rebellious blac but so far they have remained unveri fied. The territory involved lies in the southwestern corner of Africa, imme- diately north of Cape Colony, from which it is separated by the Orang River.
