According to the press adrlces
>asterday, and as the Daily Alas
.11 l.at maiatniaed «U aloag, even
.a tk« fat'# of his reported death
la*S week, there was littl# reason
for auy one to be apprehensive of
the Kaiser'a physical eoaditiou so
loajj *» report® of his aickaesa were
allowed to P-^ss the strict censor
»inj* and reach tfc© outside world,
for it stands to reason that had
he been in any serious danger, or
erea had he died, aot th« slight
est Utimation of the fact would
hava been allowed to leak out un
less a cessation of hostilities was
assured.
It js extremely probable that had
the Kaiser's death actually occur
•<1. a* was reported in Skagway
last week, but very few people with
is tile Germas Kmpir» would have
bees aware of it, and it is therefore
easily to be realized how much less
tUauce the geueral public would
have had of learning a secret, tho
dirulgence of whicfc would have
proved truly calamitous to the
oau»e of Germany. Reasons of
state would indicate that no news
of h!s sickuesg w.14 given out until
alter he w»s oa the high road to
recovery.
It is easy to believe that the
uriscipai diffiuulty which the Em
peror's physician* had to deal
with was the d«ire of their im
serioue patiest to ehake <>rf the
restraists of the sick room aud
take up all of thu usual burdens I
ef bis crowded and heavily taxed
life He realizes as well as anyone
site possibly eau how tremeudous
the problems of his government
era and how the fats of his coun
try is being iafluesced by the events
sf these momentous days. Hia
worst eiemies would sot deny his
full consciousness of his own re
sponsibilities.
TMK kkstafraxt raiber
While various men, at various
Haie* asd in various sections of
the couatry have, when hungry and
without the price c>f a "coffep and
sliiier,"' let alone that of
i "square,'' gone into some publi
eating place and after satisfyini
their cravings fo.- food iuforme
the proprietors of their inability t<
liquidate their indebtedness, am
in consequence have been eithe
promptly kicked out or else turnei
over to the tender mercies of thi
police, It seems that in. Portland
Oregon, this line of endeavor ha
become so systematized and operat
e<l to ouch an extent that it call
for municipal action of a d-rasti
kind, in speaking of this matte
tho Evening Telegram of that cit;
of recent date Bays:
"The restaurant raider is a nev
type. He is of tha school o
economic and sociologic philosoph;
which teaches that the world owe!
every man a living; and it is up t<
the man to go in and order it ant
then walk out without paying for it
It is a brazen bit of business, ant
undoubtedly indulged by those whi
would rather break into jail than d
an honest day's work.
'"It is intimated that the rockpil'
will be put in operation oncg mor
for the special benefit of this gen
try. That is exactly the cours!
which will" put the brake on tin
restaurant rushing business. Mak.
the legal price of that sort of spor
good and plenty, and there sooi
will be an end of it.
"There are a number of plac®
in this city wherein a wholesonn
and, in some instances, a substau
tial meal may be had for a prie
that any man who has only himsel
to look after ought to be able '<
earn any day. There is absolutel,
no excus© for this free-tooting de
sceut upon restaurants that ar<
catering to the normal trade of tin
city.''
