THE ANTI-JAPANEsE oUTCRY.

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
The agitation which a san Francisco
newspaper has started for laws ex-
Guiding. Japanese immigration is one
of the collateral issues of the rise Of
that nation. 1t is asserted against the
japanese immigrants that they crowd
sober and Industrious Americans out
of employment; that, in short, they
threaten to make California an Asiatic
state. On the other hand, an investi-
cation committee of non-political
character finds these charges false and
aserts that the standard of the Jap
anese for cleanliness, obedience to
laws and getting the best wages posi-
Bile is high. Moreover, it brings out
the pertinent fact that whatever Jap
anese immigration Of the coolie class
there is comes from Hawaii. having
been part of the population which the
Pacific coast especially insisted on TAX
ing into the United States. The Jap
anese government permits only stu
dents and merchants to leave Japan
for this country.
Possibly each view may be a little
colored by the ardOr of the advocate.
But there is a larger reason why it is
wholly unnecessary to go into Mysteries
ov0r a future japanese immigration.
The reason why Chinese immigration
was a serious peril was that there
were hundreds of millions of the
Southern Chinese coolies for whom no
outlet was so available as the United
States. There are but 100000 Of
the japanese and they are providing a
field for their energies that viii keep
them busy for generations.
Korea. Manchuria and probably the
available portions of eastern Siberia
will be the fields for japanese enter
prise after the war. Their surplus
population will go there, not only be-
cause those regions are nearest and
most accessible, but because it will be
the obvious japanese policy to take a
strong hold on the territory they have
wrested from Russian control. The
United States need not fear any flood
Of cheap japanese labor.

TRYING MAcARoNI WHEAT.
Farmers "ARay Out Vest Making a
Test

Farmers in Greeley county, away
out on the Colorado line, are making
a test of macaroni wheat this year,
according to W. NJ. Glenn. who is in
Topeka today.
Mr.. Glenn is editor of the Greeley
Tribune, and general press agent for
Greeley county. In addition to that
he takes a prominent part in politics.
He called on Governor Hoch this
morning to congratulate the governor
on the appointment of John O. Royce
as bank commissioner.
Things are in first class shape out
in Greeley county" said Mr.. Glenn.
ct has been reported that half of our
cattle were lost during the winter and
that the rest are in bad condition.
That is not true. Less than per cent
were lost notwithstanding the ex-
tremely severe weather and the rest
are all in good condition. A consider
able acreage of macaroni wheat has
been sown in Greeley county this
spring. We have never raised any
wheat before, but this year many of
the farmers have put in from ten to
forty acres each, and it is looking fine.
If it proves the success that is expect
ed there will be a good acreage put in
wheat hereafter. Before this every
thing has been cattle out there.
Here's another thing: Greeley
county doesn't owe the state a cent on
DELINQUENT tax, which is something
very few counties can say. It doesn't
owe a cent for seed grain, and we have
paid I'D the interest on our bonds and
are paying off the principal"

Men make money and women make

When woman boards the train for
her wedding trip she inagines all her

If some men were to refrain from tell

a great surprise to their acquaintance.
Nothing makes a married woman so
mad as to have a bachelor give her the
laugh when she tells him he really
ought to get married.
Marriage is a rank failure when a wo-
man has to play ragtime tunes on a
washboard in order to support the al
legged man who. poses as her husband.
The extent of some peoples charita-
bleness is to attend a charity theatrical
performance where there is a chance of
