Of the average western nation and has
only made a beginning. 1t must be
borne in mind that China alone has
a larger number of men capable of
bearing arms than has the entire
white race wheresoever dispersed on
the earth. 1t is also known that
agents of the Chinese government are
bidding so high for the services of
American and European army officers
that many are resigning their posi-
tons and accepting positions as in
structors and officers in the Chinese
army, and that the graduates of our
military schools are in constant re-
ceipt of tempting offers from the Chi
nese government. The people of
Japan and China whether of the same
race or not are not too dissimilar to
amalgamate. And in 50 doing neither
would be likely to feel that they had
degraded themselves thereby. There
fore, the natural bond OF union be-
tween these peoples as against the
white race has SO many strong points
and SO few that are not strong, that
In the final encounter between the
white man and the yellow for supre-
macy in the world the Jap and the
Chinese may be reckoned as one.

without dishonor cannot live together

THE CALL OF DUTY

Before receiving another issue of
The Independent our readers will be
called upon to discharge a solemn duty
involving their own welfare and the
welfare of their neighbors and of the
state. The preparatory work leading
up to the choice of candidates and
policies in issue at the coming cleo
as our interest and intelligence
prompted, and we are now to make a
final choice between such of good, bad
and Indifferent as we find represent
ed in the candidates named for the
various offices to be filled. In max
ing a final choice of candidates for
each position duty demands the full
est and freest exercise of our God
given faculties, having uppermost in
our minds, not the success of a party
or a faction, but the ends of justice
and good government.
In the discharge of our solemn duty
as citizens it must constantly be
born in mind that parties are only
means to ends, and that in the final
choice of candidates to be voted fol-
it becomes a freeman to scrutinize un
sparingly the claims of each, analyz
ing the individual character of each
candidate together with the influences
behind his candidacy in order that
we may not unwittingly do violence
to our cherished conceptions of right
but that on the other hand we may
with the utmost freedom know anC
do that which is level with conscience

at all times. Jefferson wrote the De-
claration Of Independence and found
ed the democratic party. The declar-
alton Of independence made all men
free by virtue of birth alone, uncon-
ditionally so. But, the slave power
after controlling the two contending
parties for half century, in fact until
the anti-slavery element of each, de-
spairing Of accomplishing the over
throw of slavery through either of
them were driven into organizing a
party distinctively for that purpose,
when the slave power decided to make
it's final entertainment and stand in
the party of Jefferson.
The republican party of Lincoln did
the work it was organized to do. 1t
blotted out chattel slavery. Lincoln
was the greatest Jeffersonian of his
day. But the party of Lincoln, pure
in its youth, in it's manhood became
the party of the brigands and buc-
cancers of commerce, the refuge of
trusts and monopolies under the con-
troll of it's Platts and Depews, Nor
gans and Rockofellers.
Today parties are little more than
names, the people having learned fin
ally, after much tribulation, that both
" ere honeycombed with the hirelings
of a common master, the CONFEDERATE
ed monopolies. The masses of parties
today realize the treachery of their
leaders of yesterday. To illustrate:
Only few years since Hanna, the
high priest of the commercial ban
ditti that ruled the nation, came into
Nebraska and the republican party
reverently bowed it's head and re-
cieved JUNCTION from his hands, and
his influence is credited with victory
for the party in the state. But how
different now The mantle of Hanna
has fallen upon Aldrich. But would
the republicans of Nebraska welcome
Aldrich into the state now? Would
not his Endorsement of its candidates
insure their overwhelming defeat?
What is true of Aldrich in the repub
lican party is true of Cleveland ant
Hill in the democratic party. The in
dorsement of the democratic ticket b.
either of them would bring to the party
only blight and ruin Tn fact the lead
ership and the principles of botf
parties of a decade ago stand con
demned today. The sonblance of The
parties remain, and monopoly hire
lings and sycophants ale found cling
ing to the rigging Of the old ships
shouting frantically about anci"n
leaders and vociferatiLg shop wor,
platitudes deifying the party name
while all that is vital in either 0
them centers in the teachings, pur
poses and personalities of a Roosevelt
a IaFollette, a Bryan or a Hearst.
The time has come when intelligen
men in all parties are discriminating
, between men in the caucuses and cen
ventions of their own parties and az

lust passed bearing upon the future
relations of the United States with
japan and China. During that time
Japan has conquered in war one OF
the greatest powers of the old world,
throwing its men against fortifica-
lions that are ordinarily counted as
formidable and proving them, in war,
to be the equals, if not the superiors
of the people of any nation or race.
The success of the Japanese on land
and on sea was a source of continual
surprises to the foreign military at
taches of both the Japanese and the
Russian armies. The patriotism, valor
and endurance of the Japanese soldier
has never been excelled, and the skill,
determine ion and daring of the Jap
anese officers in the war against Rus
STA challenged the admiration of all
mankind.
The fact that japanese laborers are
coming in increasing numbers to our
shores, and are becoming a factor in
the labor market in an increasing num-
Der of industries, until irritation over
the fact is already palpable among
American laborers attaches impor-
lance to a recent visit of the Japan
csc ambassador at Washington to the
state department and his demand that
the United States strictly observe
the treaty obligations entered into
with Japan in 1894
The killing of Japanese seal poach-
ers in Alaska by Americans is looked
upon by the Japanese as unnecessar-
| lily severe punishment. And it is but
natural that they should believe that
the severity of the punishment may
be partially due to the difference of
race, that Europeans would have been
dealt with less harshly. But the ques-
ton that has aroused and angered the
Japs is the discrimination against
Japanese children in the public schools
of San Francisco. This has offended
the pride of the Japanese and called
forth a remonstrance from the mikadc
in terms that cannot be misunder
stood.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
American labor will, in the near fu
ture, make an emphatic demand fol
the exclusion of Japanese laborers
from our shores. And when that de
mand is made it must and will be
acceded to, because it will be backed
not by the voice and votes of labor
ers alone, but by the voice and votes
of an overwhelming majority of Amer
leans, regardless of vocation
When the time arrives that a Jap
anese exclusion law is put in force
can any rational person expect, il
view of what we have recently learnec
!, of Japanese character that friendl,
!, relations will longer exist between ou
} government and that of Japan?

COOPER WANTED

OF the respondent In the Northy murder
trial who was excused late yesterday af-
ternoon to allow the examination OF FREQ
"A. Allen. was resumed by Attorney
Heath for the defence at the opening OF
the supreme court today.
In reply TO question by his wltes
counsel, the witness said that he desired
Mrs Cooper 10 go away from Windsor
for while 10 see IL Northy would stop
calling at the Cooper home. He wished
this action taken, he said, because the
neighbors were talking considerably
about the young mans visits. He knew
that his wife, a short time before
Northy's death, had written 10 the SUPER
intendent OF the Taunton, (Mass.), insane
hospital asking for employment there. Up
TO that time, he said, he did not believe
that there were any improper relations
between Northy and Mrs. Cooper
on the re-cross examination by Attor-
ney-General Hamlin the witness admitted
that he had never told Northy 10 cease
calling at his house.
AT that point the attorney general an
nounced that he would waive all obJec-
tions TO two letters which the defense de-
sired TO introduce as evidence in the trial
one OF these letters was that written by
Mrs. Cooper applying for work at the
Taunton Insane hospital ana the other
was the reply OF the superintendent OF
that institution.

was IN direct contradiction TO one made
by Gleason while testifying for the pros
ecution.
Frank Cooper and Eliza Cooper,
parents OF the defendants husband, were
called TO the stand and testified briefly as

day Northy met his death. Both wilt
