Justice and the Law

out his laws, hung them high that nobody could read
them, and then severely punished all who violated them

which have general circulation and punish every man.

In many instances the lawyers DOM know what
the law is. And the judges only guess at it. What makes
the federal supreme court supreme the important fact
it gets the last and all know that very often that
guess is determined by majority vote.
There is at least record where justice of
the supreme court changed his mind night and that
change of mind changed the last guess and consequently
the law.
Perhaps for this is that don't begin to
understand law and government early enough in life
other may be that with Colossal concet thinks well
of himself that he is everastngy trying to improve on
the laws of God and nature, and fills the books with too
many half baked man-made laws.
There is no such man-made law that can know
all of it. The principal advantage lawyer has the
blacksmith in practcing law is that he has license,
knows where the library is and knows how to hunt up ref
And it sometimes happens that judges such slaves
of law books and precedents that they dispense too much
law and too little justice.

for the murder of Caesar Young has recently had jag

viting 1t is bounded on three sides
by high board fence, and on the
fourth by the walls of another build
ing.
The first floor is used as a dining
room and the second for sleeping
apartments. Each Jap sleeps in a
cot fitted with the cleancst of bed
ding. The cots are arranged In rows
the entire length of the building.
The ranges, dishes, tables and all
kitchen furniture are the property of
the Cudahy company. Okajma and
Honda pay the company 800 a month
rent for the use of the building and
contents. The meals range in price
from IS cents to 90 cents.
Sixty-five of the Japs live at the
Japanese club. A few months ago
the club house was raided by the
police and several Japanese were ar
rested for gambling. Some weeks
later, crowd of Japs from the Cuda-
by camp went to the club house to
enjoy an evenings sport with cards.
1t ended in IA free-for-all fight in
which knives and a gun was used.
Only one Jap was badly injured and
he recovered.
Hungry to Learn.
The Japs have a great anxiety TO
become educated in the English Ian
guage. There is not one among the
whole number who has not attended
night school the greater part of the
time the colony has been located in
South Omaha. Five of the same col
ony are attending the public schools.
One of them attends the high school
and Is fairly well educated in the
English language. Four are enrolled
at the Lowell school and it was be-
cause of this fact that a strike of
the school children occurred. 1t was
only after the board of education
threatened to make it a lockout that
the children returned to their studies.
Six of the japanese from the club
house attend school five nights II
week at st. Mary's Catholic church
parsonage. They receive religious
instructions as well as lessons in
English.

Cudahy Packing company, in speak
Ing from the employers standpoint,
said:
1.-THE Japs are making good pack
ing house workmen. They are very
apt and they soon learn how to do

workmen in nearly every department

any more Japanese. The strike was
the cause of them coming here, and

for them.

labor, because they receive the same
pay as do the white men who do the
same kind of labor. There is no dis
elimination"
Stephen Vail, second vice president
of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters
and Butcher Workmen Of North
America. made this statement:
1T is undoubtedly very tough to
see good citizens and property own
ers with big families driven out of
this city because Japanese are en-
ployed in the packing houses here.

the Japanese do not make successful

Special Correspondence to the News
paper Enterprise Association.
OMAHA, May 26.-Japanese were
imported from states further west,
last year, to take the place of strik-
ers in the packing plants. They
number 100 and they receive the
same wages as other workmen. While
they are quick to learn and very in
dustrious, they are no match for the
American in skill and capacity for
work. They live in South Omaha.
A hostile view of this addition of
the clever orientals to the industrial
population is thus stated by w. j.
Maggie, a prominent member of the
Retail Merchants association:
"The japanese are no good to the
merchants of South Omaha. They
buy nothing here and they are driv-
ing good men of families out of town.
Many of our best laborers have been
idle ever since the strike, because
of the importation of the Japs."
Kinya Okajima, man of about so
years of age, graduate of Meijikal
college, Toxic. Japan, and Dartmouth
college, is the general manager of all
the japanese living in South Omaha.
He delivers five lectures week to
the colony. He said of his country
men:
&c.
Der who does not battle at least once
a day. Many of them battle twice
each day. Not one would think OF
going to bed without first taking
bath"
Every Japanese here has had at
least a common school education in
his own country" said Miaso Kon-
da, who is next in Importance to
Okajima. at least SO per cent of
them are graduates of high schools,
and this takes eight years of study.
Many of them have attended colleges
where instruction included course
in English.
No Jap Unions.
I'VE have no labor unions among
our people. We receive the same
wages that others are paid for per-
forming the same kind of work.
Would you permit the packers to
cut your wages" was asked.
NO, we would not" quickly replied
Konda. There would be no strike in
our ranks. We would simply quit.
Il expect to become a naturalized
citizen of this country. kaay of our
coloney hNva 1ites IN Japan, and
WIN some will return home before
many years, others will send for their
wives and children. The Japanese
like this country and the people"
Konda speaks and writes the Eng
fish language He is a graduate of
the Imperial university of Toxic. He
has the politeness and general bear
ing of a polished gentleman
Konda looks after the interests of
the Japs who work in the packing
houses He acts as their timekeeper,
to see that they are fully paid for
their work He is also their purchas-
ing agent to the extent that he buys
large quantities of wearing apparel
at wholesale, when requested to do
so, and gives it to the individuals at
the actual cost price.
