THE WAR CLOUD

George Sprecher writes from Port
land that the people there are all ex-
pecting war between the United
States and Japan. 1t seems almost
incredible that sucnl thought should
be entertained by the westerners and
it would be still more astounding if 1t
come to pass
The Japanese American controversy
is as follows:
The people, especially the laboring
men of the coast have found the Jap
anese undesirabeas citizens as are
the Chinese. They live cheaply. send
their wages home and drive Americans
out of work. The feeling grew to
such an extent that more as an ex-
preston of hatred than from any real
reason. the San francisco school board
voted to exclue the japanese from the
public schools. Japan very naturally
resented this insult. The national
government was forced to explain
that it had no authority to coerce
California. Through the efforts of
the President a compromise was
affected. however. San Francisco
withdrawing the order and represent
atives of Japan agreeing to new
treaty which would enable US to shut
out the Japanese of the Coolie class.
In the meantime before such treaty
can be made the Japanese are flocking
to Honolulu and hence by the ship
load are coming to America
All might have been we'll. never
theless. had not hoodlums of San
Francisco seen fit to abuse the Japan
.ese residents. These outrages so
incensed the japanese that the oppo-
sition party was able to take advan-
tage of the popular feeling and force
the government of Japan practi
cally to repudiate the agreement as
to the exclusion of Japanese labor.
Feeling in this country has been
considerably aroused over the reported
arrest of Japanese spies in our forts.
while the feeling in Japan has been
similarly stirred by the movement of
cur fleet to Pacific waters.
In spite of all these facts we do not
believe war is possible. Certainly it
is not. unless Japan should commit
some overact as did the Spaniards
when the Maine was blown up.
America does not wish war. and
Japan is in no position financially to
undertake to cope with US. even
though her navy was as strong and
her armies as powerful.
Great Britain and Germany are the
only countries which would be bene-
fitted by such war.
So far, we can but think that the
fault lies with America. 1t is but
another proof of they inherent weak
ness of the states-rights doctrine. 1t
would be fearful calamity if the
Pacific States by acts over which the
National government has no control,
D should plunge the entire country into
war. Responsibility without author
ity is every whit as bad as taxation
without representation. The United
States is responsible for the nationa
peace and the national honor. yet j,
would appear that it has no authority
to prevent any state from SO abusing
foreign citizens as to make peace i'm
possible.
If war came with Japan. the bes
possible result would be the killing o
the sovereign state idea and the weld
ing together Of a union. strong ant
great.
The country can never reach it
zenith until state lines are practically
obliterated and we have one country
one law for all the nation.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. ga bold and
daring effort to rob the vault of the Selby
Smelling and Lead company In its build
ing on Montgomery street, between Cali
fornia and Sacramento streets, of the vast
amount of bullion and specie which was
stored there prior to the big fire has been
brought to light in a discovery of a
secret tunnel which stopped within few
feet of the vault.
The indications are that the attempt
was foiled by some unforeseen event
The presumption is that the thieves were
forced to cease their secret work by the
fire.
Workmen engaged in reconstructing the
building have come across the tunnel,
which had been started in the basement
of an adjoining building, and following II
up found that 1t had been dug to within
four feet of the vault, It's total length
being about forty-five feet. The tunnel
indicated months of labor and the work
done by some of the cleverest crooks In
