CUSTOM OFFICERS
AFTER this SAILOR

Refusing to longer do duty on the
schooner William S. Kirby, Of South
River, Nd, which has just unloaied a
cargo Of logs at the Delaware Pulp
Works, a oolored sailor named Henry"
gave up the job to-day and resolutely
refused to turn a hand. HIS captain,
E. Lohden. refused to pay him because
his time is not up for two days, and as
a matter of fact he is not anxious to
let the colored man go because he has
tried and failed to get another to take
his place.
Captain Lohden signed Henry" tor
a month for $40. and as his time is not
up for two days yet, and the schooner
leaves the port tonight, there is every
prospect of Henry sailing with thu
boat. no matter how much he may dis
like doing so.
In order to emphasize more clearly TO
Henry" his duties under the agree
ment he made with Captain Lohden,
Fred A. Middleton, a customs house
officer. went out to the boat accompan-
led by the vessels captain and had a
serious talk with the refractory sailor
Henry will have to sail or lose his
81, but anyhow ne does want to make
a safe landing here and tie up for good.

Labor Commissioner Declares
Present Generation Must

CHICAGO Dec. A dispatch from a
stan correspondent Of the Chicago Tri-
bune at San Francisco says.
california is rebellious. If not in a state
OF rebellion.
1T wants no war with the rest of the
United States, but demands a friendly
fight in the Supreme court TO decide
whether or not California shall have the
right to rule itself in .ocal matters and
handle the color question in its own way.
Neither does California seek a war
with japan.
1.-THE school board Of san Francisco
never will change its attitude on the school
question: declared the superintendent of
Schools as he came from the board meet
ing, which had been discussing the ques-
ton.
If California is to remain one OF the
United States declared the Commission
er of Labor for California, it must stop
this invasion and settle rhe quest on. If we
do not settle the Japanese question soon
our children will settle It, or try to set

1.-THE japanese are swarming into Cali
fornia at the rate Of over a thousand a
month. more arrogant, MORE chesty than
any other people. They do not demand
equality. They want an acknowledgment
of their superiority. Nobody in California
is afraid Of the japanese, or of war with
Japan. Roosevelt appeals to be afraid Of
war, but there are thousands Of Califor-
mans who would welcome it.
''The feeling in San F.ancisco is high.
The city and parts Of the State are OPEN

Its educators. its officials its politicians,

are seeking 70 find cause for a quarrel
with the United States and have the San
Francisco school situation as the bone
over which TO pick a Iuarrel and start a
war.
1T is openly stated that the Jan believes
that the quicker he strikes at America the
better and that he is seeking over tri-
vial question. which the school board de-
clares was the result, not Of any slight to
Japan. nor OF any ins'slts Intended OF

as a direct result Of the necessity arising

MILK FIGHT WILL CONTINUE;
CONSUMERS WILL NOT SUFFER

It looks like a bitter war between the
New Castle county milk producers and
retailers over the Wholesale price OF
milk. but. thank fortune, the consumer
is not to suffer.
"This fight Is not one to compel the
consumer OF milk to pay more for the
product" declared J. Atwood Weldin
vice-president Of the Mix Producers
Association. this morning. 'ibut to give
the producer-the farmer-a fair price
for his milk. Just now we are paying
fully 20 per cent. more for feed than
ever before. During the summer, wher
pasture is free. we get cents a quart
for our milk. The retailer gets s cents.
Mark you. the retailer is satisfied with
a profit OF cents a quart at a time
when he must pay for ice to keep his
product In winter, when he is no.
under one cent Of extra expense. he de-
mands a profit Of 4 cents. The farmer
feels that he should have this extra
cents in winter to cover the cost OF feed.
etc
"The fact that We also sell our prod
uct by dry measure. which means los
of 16 in every 100 quarts we sell, is an
other reason why We should have this
extra . cents. Many OF US are gettinr
as high as cents. quart for milk. and
it Will not be long before the Whining
