The " Yellow Peril.

That is what Germany fears if Japan
should lie successful. She sees in the
contest a combat of civilizations and
race ideals, a menace recognized in
this country many decades ago, by
curbing the influx of a numberless
and powerful element that would lit
orally reduce the labor question to the
single issue OF root hog or die" for it
would in time degrade the free man
who brides himself on his handicraft,
to the position OF a serf, subservient to
the will Of master, and little above
the brute creation. The history OF
our own country has shown that when
nature has placed so distinct means
OF identification upon races as color of
skin that it is All insuperable barrier to
harmony of thought or unity Of inter
est. This applies no less in labor than
governmental affairs. When nature
has fixed the line of demarkation so
palpably, it applies to the mind as we'll
as body and the attempt to assimilate
individual interests, is about as posi-
bic as to unite oil and water. It is
we'll that the white race is awakening
to the necessity of considering the
possibilities of domination OF num-
bers that need only the stimulus Of
victory and consciousness of power to
assert supremacy. These masses are
not without intelligent leaders to di.
rect and guide them. They are not
devoid OF the sly, cunning traits of
character, as nearly allied to instinct,
which is infallible, as to reason which
is altogether finite. 1t may be we'll
for US to take a cue from even phleg.
matte Germany in this matter, for the
greed OF gain has enabled our nabobe
to blind the eyes of the masses to many
things that should be seen. The at.
tempt to repeal the Chinese restriction
law comes from those who want chear
labor at the cost OF manhood OF the
masses.

PROSPECTIVE CORNER ON ELK TEETH.
Roosevelt goes upon rec
ord as being q very strenuous objector
to killing elks for their teeth to use as
trinkets and to adorn the watch.
charms Of the Best People on Earth.
He has caused letter to be addressed
to the Agricultural Department to
have the cruel practice stopped. The
letter has special reference to the elk
in tho Olympic Range, with which he
claims to be familiar, and it has had
the effect of causing the Secretary of
Agriculture to admonish Senator Fos-
ter OF the imperious will, and that
gentleman has written TO Secretary
Ref, OF the Washington State Game
and Fish Protective Association, to
take such steps as may make the order
effective. An Eastern exchange re-
marks very quietly that the President
seems quite familiar with that species
OF game, doubtless from the fact that
he daily sits in . chair made from an.
tiers of the Olympic elk, presented to
him by some enthusiastic dsmphool at
Tacoma. while he Was "swinging
