RABBI
WISE
BUSY

SUNDAY was a strenuous day for
Rabbi Wise Of Portland, who spent
the dav in Salem. At O'Clock he se.
dressed the inmates Of the state Pris-
on; at IL O'Clock be spoke at the Unit
arian church, and in the afternoon be
made an address to the boys at the
Reform school. At the prison the ser
vices were begun BY singing the dox'
ology. which was led by the prison
choir. One Of the boys sang solo
Rabbi Wise then read the 2rd Psalm
and after prayer by the chaplain, Rev.
ST. Pierre, the prison orchestra dls
ooursed sweet music. One Of the men
PLAYED a violin solo which was Partie-
ularlv weH rendered. In a few well
chosen words Chaplain St. Pierre intro
dueed DR.. Wise a. one of the prison
ers' best friends, one who in spite Of
his many duties at home was willing
20 come to Salem and speak to them.
That the men appreciated the Rabbi e
address was manifested by the intense
attention given the speaker and the
hearty laughter that greeted the hum
orous stories he so sptly interwove in
his speech
The speaker congratulated the pris-
oners on the splendid spirit Of self
sacrifice they exhibited in their eontri-
button 20 the san Francisco sufferers
He said he would always be proud 10
have had part in the drafting and as
siseing in the enactment Of the inde-
terminate and parole laws now on the
statute books Of the state and which
appeared 70 work 20 satisfactory. The
Jewish minister based bis remarks on
the words Of TenByson, "self Tever-
enee. s-lf knowledge, self control
the~s ,hings alone lead life TO sover-
eign powe-.' Men are striving above
any other thing 20 acquire power, with
some i Is money, with others eduea-
ticn. and there are men that use that
power rightly and there are others who
use it wrongly. self reverence, said
the speaker, was nothing but self res
pect, not pride, ard here he told the
story Of the man who was so proud
and stuck UP that he wouldn't talk 20
himself. The individual should respect
himself because he is man, the great
eel thing in the world. II was the
self control which made the japanese
iDdomitable, courageous and unconquer'
ei in the late war with Russia.
"Man is put into the world to dc
hard thing. But supPose," said Dr.
Wise. "thst he forgets himself, that
be loses control of self, who will say
that he can not regain himself though
be has fallen. H emay regain himself
That is the viii Of God, and that is
the possibility of man" The discourse
was Of a practical, positive and help
full NATURE. and left strong imPres
sion upon those VINO, listened to it.

Hon. James l.. Gallagher, Acting Mayor
of the City of San Francisco:
Dear Sir; Your attention is directed
to the fact that during the past few
months Japanese residents of this city
have been subjected to repeated and I'M
provoked assaults at the hands of hood
lums and rough characters on the streets.
] have had occasion to call the attention
of the police authorities on many occa-
sions to these abuses.
The occurrence IS most frequent dur
ing the evening hours, and to such an
extent have the abuses been carried that
many of my people are inundated and
afraid to pursue their ucual occupations
Even the members of my consular staff
have been insuted and threatened upon
the streets, and the consul himself has
no guanty that he would be free from
annoyance and molestation when he
moves about the city.
In the early part of this month SUBJ
mitted to the police department a detail
ed list covering seventeen assaults of
this character which had taken place be-
tween the dates of August and Sep
TENDER g.
Not being able to secure thru the regu-
lar police channels the protection de-
manded, the Japanese Association of
America, having headquarters in this
rloying several special officers to patrol
the quarters most affected. and those Of
tlcers are still retained. Notwithstanding
these precautions, the complaints which
reach this consulate show that the abuses
still continue and that unproyoked as
saults of more or less violent character
are of almost daily occurrence.
In this connection / would further in
wife your attention to the boycott at
present being carried on by the Cooks
and Walters union of this city against
the keepers of Japanese restaurants dur
ing the course of which many acts of
violence have been committed and the
property interests and personal safety of
the Japanese proprietors placed in jeop-
ardy
I feel quite confident that your honor
will agree with me that these acts of
injustice cal for the vigorous exercise of
every power of the city government for
their suppression; and my purpose of adj
dressing you at the presen- time is to
ask that such measures be taken as will
at once secure to my people in this city
every right and privilege to which they
are entitled by treaty stipulation.
Trusting that your honor will be
pleased to give this matter your earnest
consideration and that early means may
be found for the removal of all cause for
complaint on the part of the Japanese
residents, l remain
Yours very respectfully

ing an examination in the ruined district,
and sand and dust were thrown over
him and his assistants,
Insults of a similar kind, but varying in
degree, have been suffered by these gem
tlemen not less than a dozen times since
they began their work in this city.
They are naturally surprised that such
treatment should be extended to friendly
strangers, more especially in view OF the
extreme courtesy and kindness with
which they have been received by the
official scientists and representative men
of this community.
While | recognize the fact that acts
of this kind are not countenanced by

that it is extremely difficult to control

lieye that something may and should be
done to create a public sentiment which
will frown down the rougher element

Dear Sir Replying to your communi-

actions of certain unions in the boycott
ting of Japanese restaurants, would re-
specially reply that the same experience
has been had by restaurant keepers of
other nationalities, including our own,
and the only manner in which the unions
can be stopt from boycotting is by in
junction proceedings in the superior
court, restraining them from interfering
with the business of the restaurant pro-
prietors. However, your communication
has been referred to the captain of the
district where the boycotting is reported
as being carried on, with instructions to
see that no disturbance be allowed or as
saults committed and that the law gov
eriing the same be enforced.

On the day the windows were broken
the officer had to attend police court
and expected to be at his place of detail
