Nebraskan and approves of every
honest endorsement of him. Mr..
Hearst, however, does not welcome
among the friends of Mr.. Bryan
such men as Tom Taggert. Tim
Sullivan, Pat McCarren, George
Mcclellan, Perry Belmant and
David Francis all of whom he de.
nounces. It is probably true that
the men he describes, and others
of their ilk, are turning to Bryan
because of their intense opposition
to Hearst whose popularity with
the hoi polloi they fear and whose
principles they denounoe.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 21.-lt
has often been asked How do the
coolie Japanese get together
enough money on their starvation
wages to emigrate to the United
States?'
lii is illegal to bring a person
into the United States from a for
eign country under contract, but
every one of the countless thous-
ands of Japanese who have been
brought here and are coming here
are under contract.
True that contract is yelled
one, but the japanese government
protects the methods of the emf
grafton companies who contract to
land their countrvmen in the
United States. 1t goes so far as
to compel the Japanese boarding
houses in this city and others along
the coast to collect the money due
the company in japan from the in
coming Jap
In the mikado's kingdom there
are four large emigration compan-
les and many other smaller ones
that exist and thrive off their in
dustry. The agents of these COM
panies cover Japan thoroughly and
also operate in the Hawaiian isl
ands. The following is the transla-
ton Of the contract under which
the japanese are brought to this
country;
The ........ company will con
tract, accepting the request for
transportation of ......, who is a
free emmigrant, having the purpose
to land in San Francisco North
America, and to secure for him
work there within the limitations
prescribed by the immigration
laws.
"First-The immigrant shall per
form everything that is needed fol
getting the passport, and must be
responsible for all expenses needed
for the voyage, and should have
the money necessary when land

contract is three years from til
date that the emigrant starts.

vide him with the means to ge
back to Japan in case it is neces
sary.
"Fourth-If the emigrant is sen
back at the expense of the Japanes

all the expenses of the emigrant.
"Fifth-The emigrant shall pa,

the charge for it will be half price,
and if the child is not exceeding 10
years of age, he will be carried
free of charge.
'Sixth-The emigrant shall pro-
vide two securities to the company
according to acts and hereof,
and they will b responsible for all
the expenses that have been paid
by the company under the provis-
ions of acts and A.
Whether he has money or not,
the japanese can come across the
Pacific if he can dig up his securi-
ties.
The emigrant must have $50 of
his own money on arrival. He
swears to this, but in reality the
money is loaned to him by the
emigration company and taken
away from him by the company's
agent just as soon as he is safe on

panies. The amount is stipulated
as 10 yens in addition to the ex.
penses of the voyage. For three
years after landing in this country
the japanese is virtually a slave
to the emigration company, and the
boarding house keeper or padror
is his keeper.

Editor Press-In line with its
fixed policy of opposing every move
workingmen make to improve theil
condition, the Spokesman-Reviev
this morning takes occasion t6
point out that clerks and book
keepers do not now receive as
much pay as the mechanic. The
assumption to be drawn is that the
mechanic ought to feel ashamed
that such is the case.
In persuming to offer something
in the nature of reply l do not
wish to be understood as arguing
that the clerks or bookkeepers are
now receiving all the pay his OF

profit on their labor is, of course
their own business. The same rule
applies to the mechanic, and he is
not generally condemned for get

I Spokesman-Review and other cor
poration organs that are depended

whenever an opportunity may be
seized upon.
But in the matter of mechanics

following facts:
To acquire his trade the mechan

and in some trades longer as an ap
prentice before he is considered a
journeyman or competent work
man.
Six months in a business college
fits the bookkeeper for his work,
and an intelligent gan or woman
becomes an efficient clerk with
comparatively short experience.

as a reflection on the dignity of
either calling. There is no reason
why a clerkship should not be con
sidered just as worthy and honor.
