CALIFORNIA AND JAPANESE.

We doubt seriously whether the al
leyed agreement between President
Roosevelt and the San Francesca
school authorities. whereby the lat
ter are to rescind theiraction eXclud-
ing Japanese pupils from white
schools. and the United States GOV
eminent is TO take the necessary
steps to exclude japanese laborers
from immigration to the United
States. will be satisfactory to any OF
the parties to this controversy. TAI
ifornia is practically surrendering a
right which she alone ought to eNer-
else, for a supposed benefit, which
in all probability never can OF
will be efficiently carried out. Cali
fornia has purchasedcoolie exclusion
at a terrible price. The people OF
that State have as much right to
regulate aud control their schools as
the United States Government has
20 regulate Interstate Commerce,
and their right Is exclusive. They
have as much right to prevent the
attendance of japanese children at
white schools as thepeople OF Virginia
have to exclude negro children from
the public schools OF this state, andli
they really object to the attendance
of Japanes children becausethey con-
slider them socially inferior 10 the
white children Of the State, which Is
the reason the colored children are
excluded in Virginia. they stood ON
a principle which they should not
have surrendered for any concession
on earth at the hands OF any one.
If they denied the right OF the United
States TO interfere with the internal
management of their affairs. they
stood for a principle which should
not have been surrendered for any
concession at the hands OF the
National Government and they will
rue it before the compact is an hour
old. What reason has California for
assisting the President to placate
Japan, at such a price? 1t is safe to
say that while the States OF the
South are as loyal to the National
Government as any in the Union.
they would never surrender their
right to regulate theirpublicschools,
though the very best blood OF her
sons were spilled in bringing Japan
to her senses.

VIRGINIA AND THE PROBLEM

VIRGINIA AND THE PROBLEM
Governor Swanson did exactly
right in refusing to send delegates to
a conference on what is know as the
negro problem. There is no negro
problem in Virginia that Nirginlans,
white and colored, can not success
fully solve for themselves without
conference with outside parties. As
a general rule. the two races are lY-
ing in amicable relations in Virginia.
The colored people oil our state are
as a race. law-abiding and law-lov-
ing: of course. now and then some
unruly member OF this race Is dis
posed to give trouble, then the law,
not lynch law. is invoked and the Oh
fender suffers for his violation OF the
law. These conferences and CONVEX
tions have tendency to hurt and
harm and accomplish little or no
good. This continued agitation OF
this problem, so called, makes mat
tiers worse and no better By the
way, the trend of this problem Is
rapidly being changed from the
South to the North The Brownsville
affair is giving our brethren Of the
North more trouble than we OF the
South. In several States the negro
vote is a factor in the political fight.
hence Foraker and some Others are
playing to the peanut gallery, where
the colored brother is found, in order
to keep that vote ready and steady
for the G. o. p.

schooling in Germany when he wrote
the popular rip Van Wrinkle" over

that no European conservatory is so
