NATIONAL SENTIMENT
w lillian JENNINGS BRYAN,

NV LILLIAN JENNINGS BRYAN,
wv easily the foremost man I'M
officially in public affairs in the
United States today. has written a
letter to the editor of the Hochi Shin
bun, newspaper of Toxic, Japan, in
which he says among other effective
things:
1T would be a mistaken kindness for
either nation to permit immigration to
such an extent as to raise race
question, or to excite race animosities.
Your nation has had experience enough
in Korea and China to know that race
prejudice is an element in human ma
ture which cannot be ignored.
Speaking as an American citizen
am confident that such regulations as
may be made by the United States
concerning immigration will be made
with view to preserving amicable
relations rather than offending"
These are words of wisdom and
power and place their writer in the
high place of appreciation in the hearts
of the people. There is such a thing
as race prejudice. and the manly thing
is to acknowledge it; not to beat the
bush in diplomatic terms and stave off
a trouble certain to come sooner or
later The people of California will
not submit to promiscuous Japanese
immigration, for the reason of race
prejudice and other reasons touching
the labor question, and federal author
ity must know that fact. There are
at this writing thousands of Japanese
coolies in the Hawaiian. Canadian and
Mexican countries seeking, by stealth,
to enter this country, and if the en-
barge on them were lifted we should
be swamped with a horde of them,
making more of social hell here than
was made and maintained by Chinese
before the exclusion act was passed.
So offensive to the general public
and so threatening to labor and trade
interests have the thousands now here
become that it is certain a larger in
flux would breed Dennis Kearneys"
and sand lots" from Puget sound to
San Diego, and political affiliations
would not be known in the consequent
uprising of the people.
William Jennings Bryan may or may
not be a presidential candidate; he may
or may not elect to run for the office,
but these manly utterances will fix him
in the high regard of all the people
of all parties, being an ex parte and
powerful declaration that no matter
what the present administration shall
elect to do the people of the United
States are set forever against oriental
and the race contamina-
ton it involves.

THAw's FATHERS WILL
It's Wording Shows Parent Had Doubt
of Sons Mental Capacity

JAMESTOWN, N D., Feb. 13.-An
authenticated copy of the last will and
. testament of William Thaw, father OF
Harry X. Thaw, who is being tried
for his life in New York, was filed
for probate in Statesman County,
where a large amount of land was
owned by the estate.
The will shows that the elder Thaw
had grave doubts about the proper
mental condition of his son Harry
at that time and that he believed him
not qualified to handle the part of the
estate bequeathed to him. A codicil
directs that the executors pay him
during his minority only enough to
properly maintain him. and after his
majority to pay him only the sum of
S2400 a year during his life.
IF at any time afterward," says
the will 1.-The son shows a capacity
for fitness to be trusted with the
care or expenditure of the share
of the estate bequeathed him. then.
in that event if the majority of
the executors so decide, the son Harry
is to have the share designed for him
by the original provisions of the will.

before, in the course of which more
than sixty women were arrested. 1t
was nearly midnight before they all
secured bail.
From early this afternoon until 10

had their hands full in defending the
precincts of Parliament from suf-

fifty constables was kept in reserve
