sconciusion OF the RussoJapanese war.
Many. perhaps the most. af them
rozch the United States via the Haw.
aim Islands. because OF the ease with
which they can utilize the route.
The attention of the immigration au-
thorities has been called TO the situa-
lion and an investigation will be
made. That the contract labor law is
oeins violated is practically certain,
but difficulty is experienced in obtain.
ing definite evidence 20 that effect
The immigration figures for the
mouth OF June indicate clearly that
tsae importation Of Japanese to this
country Is increasing largely but. of
course. they show on their face no
absolute violation Of law. The mum.
her OF immigrants arriving from Japan
during June was 1859. In June OF
1895. only S37 Japanese immigrants
Iesched this country. An increase OF
l.isi in one month is rather startling.

There is much political activity In
Oklahoma incident to the prelimina.
ries OF organizing the new State. Both
democrats and republicans are organ.
izing for the great battle ahead which
will decide the control OF the new
State government but not unin,er.
esting is the contest over the newt.
able liquor question. Under the ena.
bling act passed by the recent con.
gress. the Indian Territory part Of
the State will remain dry for a mum
Der OF years. hut Oklahoma has dur.
ing the territoria. period enjoyed 10.

Now the anti.saloon league win en-.
deavor to have prohibition written in
the constitution and the issue is easily
the most troublesome one which has
so far made It's appearance. Since con.
gross abs forced prohibition upon
nearly half the area Of the new State.
II Is argued that the members OF the
constitutional convention from the IN
dian Territory will ignore the real
principles involved and combine with
the Oklahoma prohibitionists for the
purpose Of placing every foot of the
new state upo nthe same basis. as
regards the liquor trafTic. Otherwise
Il is argued. Oklahoma City will en-.
Joy advantages that will eventually
tell against Muskogee. Admore and
other cities in the regions made dry
by congressional enactment. .
We do not know. Of course. just
how welghty such arguments may.
prove, but II is a well known fact
that in many a Texas county which
has gone "dry" the result bas
been brought about largely through
the votes OF the anti.prohibitionist
OF the smaller towns who were actu.
ated by no motive other than forcing
prohibition on the entire county TO
keep trade from being drawn from
"dry" towns TO wet" towns. II may
be that the anti.prohibitlonists OF the
Indian Territory region will act upon
similar motives.
Nevertheless. In commencing her
new career. Oklahoma might well un'
dertake a more permanent and salts.
factory solution Of the liquor prob.
lem. II might. for instance, try the
experiment OF precinct local option, a
plan which would put an end to the
frequently recurring county elections.
This would at least give real local

whenever one precinct Is enabled TO
force it's wishes on some other pre-
clnct.
There has been so much noise, con.
tention. distraction and turmoil over
the LIQUOR question, that Oklahoma
would perform a great national ser
vice oy devising a law rendering fun
Justice TO all concerned and thus set
an example by which other states
might profit In the direction Of law,
order. peace and good will. There
can be no doubt that the new State
is splendidly equipped with construc-
tive statesmen, gathered from all
parts OF the country, and Il would
seem that out OF the councils Of these
men some rational solution OF a great
problem might be confidently looked
for.-Houston Post
