Methods Of Exclusion

When the people of the United States
do not desire the immigration of GER
tain class they make law against it.
The law is evaded to great extent,
but its mere eXistance is enough to
arouse racial friction. There are a few
lessons to be learned from the Orientals.
When the japanese think the white
people are getting too numerous they
freeze them out. They refuse to patron
ize them, abrOgate solemn contracts,
make business Improbable The inter-
lopers vanose SO as to avoid bankruptcy.
On the Pacific coast the Chinese are
obnoxious and the japanese are getting
to be obnoxious. They are known to
be all injury to- the industrial classes.
They introduce competition which
the white man cannot meet. Never
the less they are patronized and en-
couraged. The great corporations give
them work. Railroads use them for
every branch Of unskilled labor. Can
neries clamor for their services. AS
domestic servants they can command
the highest wages.
The only way to fully check the
Oriental tide is to render it's coming
Improbable. While there is work
ready for the Chinese and japanese
they will come. Labor is honorable.
All but a few have-tO toll for a living.
The exceptions are the wealthy pauper
and the impoverished pauper, and
neither is to be congratulated. Labor
is not only honorable, but has right
to demand certain and definite respect.
No white man, dependent upon the
toll of his hands for living, can accept
the conditions that are welcomed by the
Oriental. He cannot enter the field as
rival. 1t is not proper that he should
be asked to enter the field. Among
his possessions is self-respect and he
cannot afford to lose this; but he can
not keep it and acquiesce in an implied
equality with class of labor that is
content to live as rats in the sewer
Ledger.

Blessings Of Poverty.

To speak of poverty as a blessing
seems at first glance to be in itself an
anomaly. III is the sort of blessing not
especially cherished by those who ex-
perience it, for any intrinsic quality OF
its own. The characterization only be-
comes just when the efforts of poverty
are weighed. To be born poor is to be
born to battle. Life is warfare then.
The qualities developed by the struggle
make strong men of the industrial sol
diery.
The history of this country shows
that almost all the citizens who have
become great in any department of life
have from the first had to strive for a
start. The poor boy has risen to heights
of achievement in business, diplomacy
and the learned professions such as he
could never have attained had his lot
been one of luxury. With but enough
exceptions to prove the rule, the rich
men of this country were the sons OF
poor parents. In many instances the
great lawyers with difficulty found
means to purchase books from which to
read, and frequently read borrowed
books after their hours of labor at some
mental calling. The men who man
age railroads today few years ago
were telegraph operators, stenographers,
brakemen, or even glad to fill the hum
BILE capacity of engine-wiper.
In recent interview, Carnegie said:
1.-THE chances of Andrew Carnegie, if
he landed a penniless boy in New York
tonight would be as bright as they
were in 1S48, and he would have even
wider field" The career of Andrew
Carnegie has been distinctive only in
that he has attained to greater heights.
To be successful does not imply that
one must be many times millionaire.
Nobody can doubt the word of the
philanthropist, for it is sustained by
examples without number.
Poverty is a blessing not for what it
is, but for that which it induces. The
effort to grow away from it measures
the progress of the individual and raises
the standard of peoples 1t enforces
thrift, inspires effort, and when the re-
ward has beenswon, gives to the winner
the power of appreciation.-Ledger.

A university for women in Tokyo,
Japan. has lately been opened Count
Okuma, in an address which formed a
part of the dedicatory exercises, ex-
pressed social and educational views
which could not be surpassed for lib
erality by the leaders of thought in
our own country or England When
our women are educated" he said,
"our nation will be twice as strong as
1t is now. The countries which have
tried to get along with a standard
which applies only to the education of
men have fallen conspicuously behind
in the race of human progress. AS IL
Illustrations he named Egypt, Turkey
Persia and China. The count admit
ted that society in Japan was disfig-
ured by many abuses. The remedy. in
his opinion, lies in a radical reform Of
the ideals of family life. which can be
effected only by such an improvement
In the status OF women az the new
university will bring about.

The busy bee at best gets day OF
about as seldom as country boy in
haying time, but the modern apiarist
has contriyed to make her even more
industrious than she is when left to
herself. The orchards of the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys bios
som some months before the southern
sage brush. The bee-farmer, there
fore, carts his bees about from place
to place as the seasons advance, and
thus. by keeping them busy nine
months Of the year, gets three crops of
honey. The difficulty OF moving bees
during the active season is overcome
by travelling at night. AS the bees
help to pollenize the flowers and thus
produce superior fruit. the owners of
the orchards regard them with favor.
In results. the plan is even better than
that of the enterprising farmer who
crossed his bees with firefiies so that
they could work nights.

tons were so nearly perfect that they

caught the wheat in the doughty stage,

4:15 p. m. Messrs. Shaffer, Wilams

This brings the matter up TO the

years the Norwegian "Feministen"
have been waging war against the use
OF the word "obey" in the marriage
service of the Norwegian church, and
their labors are at length crowned
with success, or at least with a par
tial success. The Staatsrath in Christi
ania has ruled that the use of the word
shall henceforth not be obligatory
upon the bride, but 'facultative." That
is to say, the bride is to be free either
to say that she will be faithful and
obedient," or simply to say that she
will be faithful"

Half century ago a thin stream of
Niagara Falls was first led aside 10
turn grist mill. Today larger
stream, which diminishes seriously the
amount of water that passes over the
fall, furnishes almost half a million
horsepower. Father Hennepin was
doubtless the first white man to see
the mighty cataract. What Father
Time will yet behold there passes all
computation.
