ment and personal comeliness
Were as good as you" is something
the yellow race cannot assert in a
physical sense. There is proper
pride of pure blood. and the white
race will tolerate no yellow or other
blend of a degenerate nature. In
this fundamental respect Americans
propose to learn nothing from the
Japanese. The Japanese are more
than welcome to keep their own
strain of blood. their type of coun-
tenance and stature rom any
American admixture. A barrier line
exists here that can never be crossed.
and nothing can go into treaties
that will alter the natural fiat
against miscegenatory ideas. There
are already too many mongrels in
the world. and the white race is not
in favor of their increase. Between
the white and the yellow races little
in common exists in social methods
and aspirations. While the Japanese
are an interesting and deserving peo-
pie, Americans do not want them for
kinfolks.
Not much of value was obtained
from the Japanese when communi-
cation was first opened about fifty
years ago. They have learned a vast
deal from the white race and been
I acute in the application of the bor-
rowed knowledge. Their navies and
military science are modelled from
the nations Of the west. Their mach
inery and practical science are copied
from the same sources. and so are
their railroads. electric appliances
and commercial methods. Their con-
stitutional forms of government are
wholly initiative. The torpedoes
with which they stole march on the
Russian ships were invented by
Americans, Englishmen or French
men. Their latest war was with a
topheavy autocracy bent on wicked
territorial aggression. They would
be foolish to plume themselves on
that conflict as a true test OF racial
superiority or equality When the
truth is calmly analyzed 1t will be
perceived that the people of the
United States have little that they
can learn from the Japanese with
any advantage to themselves. The
progress of the white race was salts
factory during tho centuries that
Japan was sealed against all foreign
intercourse. What went on during |
that period among the Japanese was

mankind Louis Globe-Demo-

Wages and Hours in Great Britain.
London, Dec. 22.-The annual re-
port of the board of trade on wages
and hours OF labor in the United
Kingdom was published today, from
which It appears that the changes
in wages during the year resulted in
a net reduction. The amount of de-
crease. however. measured in weekly
loss of wages, is very small, smaller
in fact than for the four preceding
years, while in the first half of the
present year there was, on the whole,
a decided upward movement. In
the four years, 1901 to 1904, reduc-
tions in the rates of wages of coal

During the past week there was a sharp rise in the Colorado liver and s-~~, ,.--7rvr=s-T---yspr sss.ass coming as It did just when the work of filling In the intake was in progress some apprehension was felt that dam age to the works might result. This fear. however, was unfounded and the increased flow of water was turned to good advantage in washing out the 7 by pass through the Redwood gate
 On last Thursday, just as the water was at It's highest, Rev. w. C. Conley, of Redlands, visited the heading He saw the work of blasting to facilitate the enlargement of the by pass that was being done under the personal su- pervIsion of Mir. Cory and says 1t was a great success, as about half of the rivers flow of IS 900 second feet was passing through the Redwood gate and that channel was being enlarged every minute. He also visited the old channel and estimated that raise of one foot more would start the water flowing down that way to the Gulf At the, concrete gate he found the work of opening the inlet from the river nearly completed and was assured by Mir. D. L. Russell, who has charge of that work that 1t would be completed in a few days. In all probability the water in the river will subside in a day or two. when the concrete gate being ready for use a large proportion of It can be turned through It and the rest will pass through the Redwood gate. This will leave the completion of the Hind dam free to go on unmolested. Meantime the flow through the con- crete gate will be cutting the canal for
 sas-sl 4 sfa q bringing water to this Valley larger and thereby removing all danger of "a water shortage. The increased flow of the river during the past week has been so handled that It has measurably lessened the time when the Mexican intake will be closed and the water urn- der control will be taken out at the concrete gate.

extortion and assaults are the work of excited
American boys young girls seeking notoriety.
Several firms have sought to advertise their wares
by sending out Black Hand letters.
Eliminating all of these things the list shows one
hundred and forty-two murders or attempts at
murder from September, 1904, to March, 1906, and
for the same period three thousand and eghtyfour
acts or attempts of dynamting houses, arson, ex-
tortion intimidation, freeing of prisoners and other
crimes. Only about crime in three in the last
group has been made public, and so to my
notice. Fully twenty men pay tribute to the bands
under threats of DEATH where one goes to the police
with his letters. Of the one hundred and fortytwo
persons twenty-eght were Americans and eleven
officers of the law, two priests and three
were magistrates. Not one Black Hand murderer
was convicted evidence strong enough to warrant
a fitting punishment Only two were punished for
murder, and the longest sentence was fifteen years
There were forty Black Hand crimes to one arrest
and eleven arrests to one conviction

This is shocking; but it tells the story of the
strength of the Black Hand 1t has been found that
pursuing Italian criminal methods under Amer
lean police system is about as safe as kite-fyng,
and the Italians of the colonies know now that the
American agencies of law and order cannot protect
them.
There are these distinct and dabolical processes
which a heritage from the old Malta and which
every Italian understands:
I. The scr0cco letter, the anonymous threatening
letter, sometimes illiterate, sometimes scholarly,
with meaning all the more terrible because it is
yelled
2. The omerta the enforcement of silence among
witnesses etc.
