ONLY KINDLY FEELING
Felt in This Country for the
Japanese.
ALLEGED DISCRIMINATION
Telegram of Secretary Root to Ambas-
sador Wright Made Public.
TO MAKE FULL INVESTIGATION
Department Of Justice Instructed to
Do So Immediately and Take
Action If Needed.

The text of a cablegram to Ambassador
Wright. at Toxic, given out by the State
Department last night, bearing on the al
legged discrimination against japanese la
borers as well as japanese school children
In San Francisco, discloses the fact that
the United States took prompt action to &C
quaint the japanese government Of the
purely local character of the case. The dis
patch was brought forth by one from Am
bassador Wright calling attention to the
view OF the matter as taken by the news
papers of Toxic. and makes plain the fact
that this government would not tolerate
any other treatment toward Japanese than
that accorded the most friendly European
nation.
Text of Cablegram.
The cablegram Is dated October %, and
therefore was sent three days before the
visit Of Viscount Aoki to Secretary Root
yesterday. 1t is as follows:
October 49,
| Wright. Toxic
Troubles your dispatch Of 21st are so
entirely local and confined to San Fran
cisco that this government was not aware
Of their existence until the publication in
our newspapers Of what happened in Toxic.
THE best information we have been able
| to obtain indicates that there is nothing
even in San Francisco but an ordinary To-
/
normal conditions resulting there from the
| earthquake and fire. We cannot prevent
| men DESTROYS of labor vote from making
| speeches in favor Of excluding any kind OF
| competition. This does not seem to have
| gone beyond irresponsible agitation, to
which no attention can be paid by this
| government, or should be by the people of
| Japan. The trouble about schools appears
| to have arisen from the fact that the
| schools which the Japanese had attended
| We're destroyed at the time Of the earth
quake and have not been replaced.
| "You may assure the government OF
Japan in most positive terms that the gov
| eminent of the United States will not for
| a moment entertain the idea of any treat
| ment toward the Japanese people other
| than that accorded to the people of the
| most friendly European nation, and that
there is no reason to suppose that the peo-
pie of the United States desire our gov
| eminent to take any different course.
To Make Full Investigation.
"The President has directed the De-
partment of Justice to make Immediate anG
full investigation and take such steps al
the facts call for to maintain all treaty
rights of japanese subjects in the spirit o
the friendship and respect which our peopS
have 50 long entertained. The purely To-
| cal and occasional nature of the San Fran
cisco school question should be appreciated
when the Japanese remember that japanese
| students are welcomed at hundreds o.
schools and colleges all over the country.

The Champion Typewriter.

A speed contest was held in New
York a few weeks ago to decide who
is the champion typewriterof the coun-
try. The winner of the first prize estab-
lished a new record by writing 2099
words in thirty minutes. The prize
winner among home medicines for the
past So years has been the famous
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and its
wonderful record of cures has put it
in a class by itself. 1t is compounded
of the best and purest ingredients and
is especially adapted for strengthen
ing weak stomachs, toning and stimu-
lating the liver and kidneys and MAX
ing life worth living. 1t thus cures and
prevents indigestion, dyspepsia, cos
tiveness. biliousness, heartburn, poor
appetite, female ills, colds, grip and
malaria. A fair trial will convince you
of it's wonderful merit.

Danger of Prosperity.

We all know the danger that turks
in prosperity, the danger Of relaxing
the effort which in this case has
brought such prompt and gratifying re-
suits. Let us not make the mistake
of sitting idly down, satisfied with
what we have already accomplished,
for if we let go now We shall lose
all that we have thus far gained. We
have for one thing succeeded in arous-
ing public interest in this work AS
said before the hearty and generous
response of the public is an evidence Of
their confidence in us as workers. Peo-
pie are beginning to realize what this
Bethany Protective association stands
for in this community, and what it
hopes to became, viz: a refuge for the
unfortunate and the oppressed.
Let us not disappoint those who have
trusted us, neither let us fall short OF
the high work we have set for this in
stitution, with progression for our
watchword, let us make of this pro-
tective association in every sense of
the word.
The work is developing along lines
unthought of one year ago. We are
coming more and more into touch with
all the philanthropic work of Rock Is
land and Moline. If we continue to
progress as rapidly in the year to come
as in the past II month. the time is
not far distant when no case of worthy
poverty shall be turned from our door
because we have not the department
or the facilities for ministering to his
need.

Garfield's Inquiry.

At the same time Hadley is conduct
ing his investigation Commissioner
Garfield. by direction of the president
is holding another inquiry into the
Rockefeller methods. 1t is predicted
that his report viii be ready by March
], and enough of it has leaked out to
show that it will make some startling
disclosures. Mr.. Hadley has had access
to this testimony to assist him in max
ing his own case. Mr.. Garfield is said
to be following especially the subsidi-
airy concerns of the Standard The
ramification of the system" are so
wide as to be almost battling. For eX
ample, it owns over 10000 miles OF
pipe lines, and along every line is a
telegraph wire. The company has its
own operators, SO it possesses a tele-
graph system of its own. 1t earns an
annual profit variously estimated at
from 40 TO 80 per cent on its actual in
vestment. 1t has invaded the steel
field, the copper field, the railroad
field and other departments of bust
ness. 1t has a spy system more exten-
sive than that of the government. 1t
has string of banks across the coun-
try, and it is increasing in wealth and
power by leaps and bounds every year.
Even now Standard men have been re-
ported as saying that Rockefeller is
a bigger man than the president" If
they talk that way now, how will they
talk in five years?
All this may be joke to II. H Ror
ers, but is it joke to the American
people? j. A. EDGERTON.
