HOW JAPS DRAIN THE
WEALTH OF CALIFORNIA

last 10 years the wages of the Jap
have been steadily increasing, until
now, in the summer especially, they
earn from S1.75 to So per day. Then
we have the money made by the
Jap farmers and merchants, the
greater part of which is sent to
Japan, only enough being kept here
to transact business.
If we were to include in this
statement the 10000 Japanese resi-
dents in Hawaii, and the $4,000 that
are scattered throughout the United
States, outside of California, the
amount obtained would be, alone,
justification of our demand for an
exclusion law.
Though the balance of trade is
against Japan-that is, she buys
more of the world than she sells
yet through the employment of her
laborers in the United States there
is a constant stream of gold being
poured into the Golfers of her gov
eminent to be, at some time in the
near future, used to our detriment.
From the 80 cent basis. together
with monthly statements procured
from a few o fthe postofiices, it is
estimated that the Japanese in Ha-
waii and on the mainland of the
United States have, in less than
20 years. sent or carried to Japan
not less than 100000, 900.
Had the enormous amount of
money of which California has been
drained by the Orientals been re-
ceived in wages by white laborers
and business men, it would have
remained in the state for invest
ment, and our progress. instead OF
being remarkable. would have been
little short of miraculous.

A few years ago Senator Perkins
submitted statistics to the United
States senate showing that the Chi
nese had, in 80 years, sent or car
ried $3O0,000,000 of American
money to China. A prediction made
last year indicated that in like
period the money taken out of the
country by the Japanese would en-
coed the amount credited to the
Chinese
That this prediction is in a fair
way of realization may be seen
from the following figures, based
upon the number of Japanese in
California, as per census reports of
1890 and 1900 and for 1906 from a
statistical pamphlet published by
the Japanese and Korean Exclusion
league.
In 1890 there were 1147 Japanese
in California. In 1900 there were
10,151, the rates Of increase being
900 per year. Estimating that each
Jap saves and sends to Japan so
cents per day-and this estimate is
too small-the amount in 1900
would total $l1.347,375. The in
crease of laps from 1900 to 1907
approxmates more than $4,000, an
addition of $500 per year. Figured
on the so cent basis, we reach the
snug sum of 55,562, 1875, which, add
ed to the amount up to 1900, makes
q total of $66,909.500.
AS before indicated. these figures
are based on the assumption that
each Jap puts away so cents per
day of his earnings, this amount.

WIFE
AND LEAPS
TO HISDEATH

New York, Sept -v.--Despondent 40
result of i'll health and reverses,
Harry Chernock, a garment CUTTER
aged 80 years, attempted to kill his
wife by stabbing her with a pair of
tailor's shears and then jumped from
fourth-story window, receiving inju-
ries from which he died in a hospital,
For six months Chernock had been
so i'll that he was unable to work. To
support their fve-yearold son and her
husband, Mrs Chernock went to work
in a sweatshop for small wages When
Chernock saw his wife growing pale
and haggard from her toll it preyed
on his mind. Early yesterday Mrs.
Chernock was awakened by her hus-
band getting out of bed TO get a pair
of shears from the adjoining room.
Before she could prevent it he had
stabbed her with them. He then
opened window and plunged head
long from it to the yard four stories
below.

Marx Handkerchiefs

Marking handkercbie.s with the
simple initial is extremely confusing
especially when the washing is sent
to a laundress outside Of the house
a good plan to avoid this Is to mark
with both or all three initials or.
better stilI with the entire name.
This, however is unpleasantly con
spicuous.
A better way Is TO secure a small
indelibIe stamp Of the name. and to
stamp the center OF each handker.
chief, so that the marking is never In
sight except when It is nee4ed.
Another plan, adopted in d family
Of three daughters, is to use a system
OF eyelets in one corner-Lae eyelet
for the eldest daughter, two for the
second. three for the third. i'hs plan
works like a charm. for the emily
initial on the parents handkerchiefs
are. OF course asily recognizable
from the difference between the size
Of mems and womens handkerchief.
Finally, one girl who boards alone
marks each OF her handkerchiefs with
a large and plain X. confident that no
one else will claim that initial.
