General Funston? Or will he promise
to comply in terms as gentle as the
voice of sucking dove? 1t is time
for Americans to think? Pride and
conceit coupled with ignorance is al
ready stumped by the demand that
Japan has made. Is it not time for
the dupes of the party that in the
name of protection to American labor
has built up trusts and billion dollar
corporations on extortion to ask the
standpatters to explain the why and
wherefore of our Oriental muss?

The power and influence for good
that can be welded by sincere man
who goes forth to battle for truth
is strikingly illustrated in the revolu-
ton wrought in Nebraska politics by
George w. Berge. Two years ago
when he was the fusion candidate for
governor he branded the railroad pass
as bride, and pronounced it to be
the most potent instrumentality of
the railroads in procuring the gov
eminent Of the state away from the
people. His campaign was ridiculed
by the opposition party, who taunt-
ingly flourished their passes before
his gaze upon every occasion that
offered. But Berge, with the zeal and
fire of an apostle, burned the truth
of the pass iniquity into the hearts
of the people, so that now both
parties are vieing with each other in
condemning the pass evil and both
are pledged. to outlaw it in the next
legislature.

should be met. The cloud that has
been gathering in the eastern skies
for these many years has at last
assumed visible proportions. 1t has
it's origin in a dangerous quarter, a
quarter of the globe out of which I'M
der no circumstances can any good
come to the white race, and a section
of the globe that the white man should
shun until at least after such time
as the American continent is peopled
with his own kind and until white
men are sufficient in number and
wealth to defend themselves against
the yellow man.
Years before the war-like qualities
of the yellow man were known to us
we shuddered at the thought of the
competition that would follow the IN
PRODUCTION of motive power and labor
saving machinery into China. That
land with it's 500,000,000 of people OF
limitless capacity for work, and the
ability to subsist on little, if organized
under the American or European sys
tens would be able to command thu
markets of the world and reduce Euro
peans and Americans to producers OF
raw material. Tariffs would be i'm
potent against such competition ant
with the golden streams from al
quarters flowing toward the world:
workshops, the Chinese would, soon
err or later, level all barriers to trade
either by bribery or with guns.
The white man has no business
meddling in that quarter of the globe
Nothing but doom awaits him there
We must not underes innate the pow
er of 500,000,000 of men diciplined il
habits of the greatest industry, wht
can live and thrive on one-tenth O
what is required to sustain the aver
age European and on one-twenrieth o
what the average American consumes
We are reminded that these peonl,
can dig the Panama canal, being bet
ter able to withstand the climate o.
Panama than any other-either white
or black. and above all We must re
member that there are 100,000,00t
more Chinese alone on the earth thar
there are white men.
Here we are, masters of a continent
containing three-ten his more rich lane
than is On the eastern half of the
earth, whereas the total population o.
the western hemisphere, including
white, black and brown men, does no
exceed 160,000,000, while on the othel
hemisphere there are over 100000,

President Roosevelt sent word to
the New York state republican COM
mittee that he heartily favored the
election of Hughes, the republican
candidate for governor. Hasn't poll
tics reached pretty pass when
republican president deemed it nee
essary to send word to the people of
his state, stating which side he favored
in a raging contest between his own
party and it's traditional antagonist.
Yet, strange as it seems, the presi-
dent did send letter to the commit
tee containing the startling informa-
ton that he favored the election of
Hughes for governor of New York,
and that information was all that the
letter did contain.

suit in the subjugation and enslave-
ment of one race by the other, if not
in the determination of one of them.
Heaven has not so ordered it. 1t
is not so written in the eternal law.
Therefore it is that American will
never consent to divide their terri
tory and their material interests with
Asiatics any more than they will con-
sent to divide their bed and board
with them. The gulf between them
is unbridgeable in a social sense, and
equally SO in political and national
sense. Therefore, exclusion laws are
fundamentally part of the law Of
self preservation.
The penalty of bringing Africans to
our shores has not yet been paid, and
the thought of the finale of the tragedy
that was inaugurated by the thought
less and criminal selfishness of the
generation that brought the black man
among us hangs as pail over the in
habitants Of the southland, otherwise
the fairest and most beautiful of Co
lumbias domain. Only those who
have sojourned in the south have an
adequate conception of the real mean
ing of the race question in America.
And it is safe to say that the people
Of that section will never consent to
further race embodiment by state or
nation, under any pretext whatever,
and that such moral dope as benevo-
lent assimilation to the enlightened
southerner sounds like the rattle of
dragons teeth.
Greed for gain and lust for power
are so deeply rooted in the human
heart that the reasoning powers of
the average man is their slave When
ever the commercial instinct is well
developed, opportunity freighted with
great promise constitutes an allure
ment beyond the power resistance,
and the average man seeks it with a
mad chase, oblivious of all besides.
The era of commercialism through
which we are passing and which hap
PLY is now exhibiting symptoms that
presage it's end, has been marked by
a recklessness equalled only by the
opportunities an age of discovery and
invention afforded in an undeveloped
country, and the matchless prowess
of the generation that is passing.
Since the close of the civil war
the national conscience has slept and
a majority of our people have seemed
bereft of caution, prudence or wis
dom, utterly oblivious of the fact that
the ship Of state was drifting upon
unchartered seas with captain and
crew delirious with the terrible NAL
ady--money madness.

VALENTINE STARTS LAW SUITS
One of the Comic Variety Provokes
Family Row and Action
for Libel.

That Philadelphia comic valentine case
has reached another interesting stage It
began with the sending OF the offending
missive last February. and was then en-
livened by the recipients lawyer demand
ing that the sender be brought into court
to answer to the charge of criminal libel
Both the complainant and defendant are
women and related by marriage. and the
proceedings show an added bitterness on
this account. Several months after the
charge was made the grand jury returned
a bill of indictment. and then the lawyer
for the defendant filed a demurrer to have
this indictment quashed, presenting five
lengthy and technical reasons why the de-
murrer should be sustained. But the
judge, after prolonged consideration, re-
fused to sustain 1t. He declared that valen-
tines OF the character of the one under dis
cussion, In which the recipient was al
luded to as a scandalmonger, a busybody
a mischiefmaker and a person of unre-
strained mendacity, afford ample grounds
for suits of the character instituted, and
that when such libelous valentine leaves
the sender's possession 1t is clearly in cir
culation according to the letter OF the
law. For all Of which and sundry other
reasons the trial of the valentine sender
must go on.
1t is possible that this Philadelphia case
Will prove warning and a deterrent for

anonymity use the so-called comic valen
tine as a means OF venting their malice

The city of Glasgow, Scotland, has sold

established six years ago to compete with
a private company. 1t was found that the
municipal plant was not paying venture,
and the town council decided to sell the
business to the postoffice at a loss of
$500, O0o When the sale was decided upon,
more than 100000 had been spent on
equipment and further expenditure Of
$4,000 had been found necessary.

the failure of the venture, asserted that
