TALES OF TIE TRAVELLERS

Americans are being made to pay
good share Of the expense Of the Japan
ese' war in high prices demanded FOR
Japanese goods. This is what G. Dick,
representative of G.: Solomon, .Jr:, COM
pany of San francisco, says: This COM
pany makes speciality Of Japanese I'M
portations of all sorts. /,
s'The only things left of much i'm
portance in Japanese importations that
the Japanese merchants have not yet
advanced, is baskets said Mr..Dick at
the West today. .tseWe expect notice of
increase in this line any day. Many
imagine the end Of the war has resulted
in decreasing prices on Japanese goods.
The Jap merchants are being heavily
taxed to meet the expenses Of war. They
in turn are advancing the price Of all
their goods to cover the increased tax.
And as America uses vast quantities Of
Japanese goods-more every year
America is doing good share towards
paying the expense Of the Japanese gov
eminent in the war; It is safe to say
that the general line of japanese goods
has increased 40 per cent since the con
the trade 1 ver s little because Of the IN
creased popularity Of Jap goods. This
is demonstrated by the fact that within
the past year, six large new houses have
been established i'm this country to de-
vote themselves exclusively to Japanese
importations. 4. .>:a
"Dan'' Shell Of Worthington, MINI,
state senator, was guest today at the
Rogers. In commenting on the state
senator, relative to his position in the
gubernatorial field, Senator Shell said:
'Senator Lord would make fine
governor. His integrity and ability are
absolutely beyond question. But in my
opinion If he is nominated he will have
to give up his idea of not doing any en-
ergetic work in his own behalf and say
ing the convention should be left alone
and allowed to name it's own candidate.
That theory is all right, but the practice
is that the man who gets out and hus-
ties for the place, who makes en- ener-
getic pro-campaign, is the one who lands
the plum. Perhaps Senator Lord IS
friends awill do this for him. I know
he has mony admirers whoswould like
| to see him governor.

ernorship? don t believe Ray w

GIANT STRIDES IN DIVORCE.
Cities in Which Every Fourth Mar
riage Ends in Separation.

In the light of the modern evil of di-
vOrce the old saying, which usually fol-
lowed the mention of the marriage of
the hero and heroine, they lived happily
ever after will have to be discarded
Cupidity, nowadays, seems to have
usurped the office once exercised by
Cupid. With the higher education wom-
an resigned her divinityship. With the
higher civilization she adopted equality
as her watchword. She no longer has
reality eXpurgated from life for her ben
eft The white mans burden is also
hers.
Those who still venture into matri-
mony do so with the consciousness that
the divorce court is just behind the
church. The prediction of Henry James
that the great war of the future would
be the strife between the women and
the men would appear to be in a fair
way of realization.
No greater object lesson could be had
in confederation of these views than that
which study of the divorce statistics
affscdS.
ia 1881 the total number Of divorces
granted in the United States came to
20. 762. In 1901 the cities of 10000 pop
ulation and over alone contributed that
humber.
In San Francisco. Kansas City. Los
Angeles and Seattle every fourth mar
riace entered into ends in divorce. In
Maine in 1901 there was one divorce TO
every seven marriages. iN 1902 one in
six. In New Hampshire in 1901 the
maria ges We're at the rate of eight to
one divorce. Vermont in 1902 had one
divorce to each ten marriages. In Mas
sachusetts the growth of the social NAL
ady can be traced since 1879. In that
year there were Al marriages to one d.
vorce. in 1882 the proportion of mar
rages had shrunk to "a to one divorce

The French government, upon receipt
of the report that the Baltic squadron

government lodged protest with France,

replied that it had already sent such in

that they had taken, and would take in
future. necessary measures to see that
neutrality is vigorously respected.

WANT JAPS EXCLUDED.
Their Presence in California Is Greatly
Feared.


Danger from an industrial invasion Of
the United States by the japanese has
assumed such real proportions on the
western coast that the Legislature Of
California has taken official cognizance
Of the situation The California Senate
has passed resolution urging the imme-
date action by treaty TO limit further
japanese immigration into the United
States. The matter of restricting Jap
anese immigration is attracting wide at
tention throughout the West. lnyestiga-
ton of the subject is bringing to hgh,
the fact that the existing exclusion lava
are being broken by japanese immigra-
ton, in some instances through the con-
nivance of the courts. japanese trade
unionism and the padr0ne system in
vogue among the japanese are 4 part OF
the many grievances which are alarming
the white population and occasioning the
declaration that there is more to be
feared from the japanese than there
ever was to have been feared from Chi
nese immigration before the passage OF
the Geary exclusion act. There is a
growing popular clamOr for the passage
of an equally as stringent an act against
the japanese as is now enforced against
the Chinese.
The report of the Attorney General
of the United States for 1903 contains
a statement furnished by Special Ex-
aminer G.. V. c. Van Duesen, in which
he says that. notwithstanding the fact
that the federal statutes exclude from
the rights of citizenship all persons ex-
cept free white persons and those Of
African nativity and descent, the courts
have admitted to citizenship persons not
belonging to either of these two divis-
Ions. Mr.. Van Deusen says that this IL
particularly true of courts on the Pacific
coast. which have naturalized many ma
tives of Japan, and that the clerks Of
these courts still continue to accept from
sUch persons declarations of their inten-
ton to become citizens
