There is distinct Joy in owning
land, unlike that which you have in
money, in houses, in books, pictures,
or anything else which men have de-
vised. Personal property brings you
into society with men. But land is
a part of Gods estate in the globe; and
when a parcel of land is decided to you
and you walk over it, and call it your
own, il seems as if you had come into
partnership with the original Proprietor
of the earth, "-Henry Ward Beecher.

BOOKS EXPERTED
County Books Have Been Examined
by Professional Accountant
ID. l.. Wallace

D. L. Wallace, who has been en-
ployed by the county commissioners
for the past few weeks to expert the
books of the various county Offices
since the formation of the county, has
finished his work and turned in his re-
port to the county commissioners. Mr..
Wallace made very complete report
and found the records and accounts in
very satisfactory shape. A few cleri-
cal errors were found but in most in
stances the errors were in favor OF the
county. All discrepancies have been
settled. Mr.. Wallace paid glowing
tribute to the ability of the past and
present officials of Chelan county and
said that he had never met a class OF
officials who have performed their work
so satisfactorily as those of Chelan
county.
Following is the report:
Hon. Board Of Commissioners, Che
Ian County, Gentlemen:

audit of your county records, l would
say concerning the various offices: The

corrected report of sheriff's Office for
the first quarter 1905, original report
being missing, for some unknown
cause.
There is credit due present treas
urer OF $40, account error entering
tax receipt No. lis of 1904 rolls,
charging himself with more cash than
was received. The discrepancies OF l
cent shown as deficit on treasurers re-
port occurred in third quarterly report
OF 1900, where daily cash book showed
disbursement on various road districts
in excess of amount shown on reports.
l would call attention to the report
of the sheriff's Office which, on first ap-
pearance, would show a decrease of
sheriff fees during last term, which |
find is not the case, as owing to a
change in the law since January l,
1904, the state auditor does not remit
to sheriff covering transportation OF
commitments, which prior to that time
was reported as receipts on sheriff fee
book, and eliminating these remit
tances during period 1o00-1904 in
elusive, makes report of fees show in
crease in sherif's office corresponding
with other offices.
We have gone over the various
Offices with the officers in charge and
discussed thoroly such changes as
might be efficient to enable them to
handle any increased volume OF bust
ness. Very truly yours,
D. L.Wallace.

county clerk made two mistakes during

A change in ideals cannot be effected
in a Single generation. The modihca'
tim of the warlike spirit Of our his
tories and tie increase DIN prominence
Tor the heroes Of peace must be gradual.
And while tnis is being accomplish d.,
both parents and pupils
be br ought up to the broad-mindedness
that is necessary to q proper study OF
history. History must be accepted as
an assembling Of facts, and not a. as
s, rtions and arguments. Today. Il q
history ,ealing with the religious
movements 0. the last 400 years were
introduced into the schools, within
thirty days there would be an txpio-
sion beside which the alarms OF WAL
would be tame. Some parents would
dispute the truth, and others, knowing
it. would not want it taught to their
children. A text book on politics would
start a row. A study of our sociology
cal and Industrial history for the last
century would break into politics and
sectional Keeling, and there would be
a rumpus Now, in the text books In
use, many of the most important phases
in history are touched upon vaguely
and gingerly.

President SchaIfer of the National
Educational association wants the pub
lie schools converted into FORCES where
at swords may be bea.en into plow-
shares and spears into pruning hooks.
He wishes to institute through the
schools a great, silent and conquerlng
propaganda for the cause of universal
peace. He poitns to the text books OF
h story now IN use in the schools as Tn.
chief inspiration of the war spirit, n
suggests that history be rewritten Win
inventors, scientists and workers OF the
great works of peace in the foreground
and with generals and admirals IN the
background. He points out that the
modern text books exalt into foremost
prominence the captains OF blood, WINE
the apostles Of peace receive scant al
teation. The points made by President
Schae1eI are neither new nor mover,
but truth is not the property OF any.
body in particular, and he has q per1ect
right to argue for peace promotion
along this line.
FOR President Schaefer's encourage
ment we venture to point out that more
histories dealing with the s~ocloiogicai,
industrial, religious and domestic sides
of earth's peoples have been
in the last twenty years thar in sever
al decades preceding. There has been
a delving, a digging and a mining INTO
the past, a completeness of exploration
into bygone centuries, that has never
before been known Many OF these
histories are available as text BOOKS,
but they do not make popular reading
for the general public, nor popular text
books.
A hundred generations has inbred in
to the modern youth the idea that pa
triotism is most closely connected with
the art Of war, and the men who have
best succee ded at that game are the
heroes. 1t has become second nature
for the boy to make the conquerer his
hero. It is because tho roll OF the
drum and the sound of the fife may be
heard through all history that the boys
take to it. And the more biased a his
tory is in favor Of a nation or a sec
ton, the greater its popularity with
teacher and pupil.

How Japan Treats Her
Alien Laborers

needful to do so for the public welfare.
The practical result of these regulations
is that there are scarcely any foreign
Iaborers in Japan outside the foreign
s, Elements, with the exception Of b
few expert mechanics employed by
native manufacturers. The truth OF
course is that owing to the great and
growing pressure Of Japan's popula
ton ON the means OF subsistence-a
pressure that really drove the country
to acquire a foothold ON the Asiatic
mainland-the supply of native labor
SO exceeds the demand that th,re is no
room for foreign workmen. This po-
litico-economic barrier has proved as
insurmountable to the Chinese as to the
other alien laborers.
Now, how has the United States in
terpreted the same treaty. Our govern
ment obviously was at liberty to put
the same construction on The clause Of
article 2, to which we havereft rred, as
was applied to it by the mikado's min
listers. As a matter Of tact, however,
our federal government has ntver del
egated to the governor of q state such
power of excluding alien alborers as
the Japanese law has granted to the
project or local head Of a provincial
administration. Our central federal au-
thority, acting in its own name and not
in that of a state Official, has simply
exercised the right of forbidding the
migration of foreigners from u isl
and possessions 10 our mainland terri
tories. There is no doubt that in pur
suance of our treaty rights we might
nave gone much further n have
excluded from any of our states even
those Japanese la orers who for years
have been allowed to reside there. For,
as mas been explained above, one of the
regulations declaratory of the meaning
OF the commercial tr, atty with the
United States which were issued by
the Japanese ministry for home at.
tairs expressly authorizes q project or
local governor to cancel at his option
the permission to reside in the interior
which previously may have BEN given
% alien laborers.
With the precedent, therefore, OF
apan's official Interpretation OF tn
treaty before us, what reasonable Oh
lection could be made even to the ex-
cluson from Hawaii of the Japanese
laborers whom we have suffered to set
tie there since we became owners OF
that archip.lagof As a matter OF fact
for one American workman tolerated
in the mikado's empire there are at
least a score of Japanese labor,rs who
are permitted to reside and pursue their
yocations in our insular or continental
possessions. 1t follows that on neith,r
theoretical nor practical grounds has
Japan anything to complain OF in our
construction of the existing commercial
treaty. This fact is well known, a. we
have said. to the mikado's most trust
ed advisers, and that is why th.re new
er was a basis for the de talk about
a war between Japan and the United
&C., Norr Vork Gun
The silver state news. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1907-1909, 1907-07-15

The fact that they are famwiliar
with the text of treaties and know how
4 snouId be construed constitutes on
ne tho reasons why the Mikado's vet
eran advisers, who snape the toreig1
policy of Japan, have SHOWN no incl
nation to countenance the agitation
excited by a few aiscontented polltl-
clans and their newspaper organs
against our law prohibiting the .mlgra-
ton of japanese laborers from the
P~b;lippine islands to the continental
territory of the United States. SUCH
men as the Marquis Ito are well aware
that by the Toxic government s inter-
pretation of the existing commercial
trcatv between the two countries Japan
IS estopped from obJecting to he ex-
ercise Of authority in the American law
just named.
