The Vancouver b. G. episode
has kept the diplomatic wires rath-
er warm for the past few weeks.
Altho the incident WAS greater in
magnitude than the San Francis
co affair, it occasioued only mild
protest from Japan. OF course it
was to be expected that the jap
anese would consider the feelings
of her ally III this case, and be as
suave az the circumstances war
ranted. Still the country must
realize by this time that no Euro
pean country is going to permit
coolies to domiueer her lahoring
classes. This is the cruX of the
proposition; and no one can blame
the laboring men for trying to
maintain n living wage for him.
self and his family. The Nancou-
yer riot was not directed against
the japanese because of national
animosity, but because those peo-
pie were undermining the very
bulwark of the city's prosperity.
We have read considerable of the
cleverness of the Japanese, but
they do not seem to he clever
enough to adapt themselves to
Western customs. This would
avoid much unpleasantness and
cause them to be more respected
than they now are. But II they
persist in working Tor almost
nothing they must expect trouble
for the laboring men of no coun.
try will tolerate such methods.
Why, the average American
spends more money on food tor
his dog than Japanese does for
himself. SO long as the little
brown men disturb the Western
er's mode of living, 50 long may
they expect persecution and mob
violence. These riots are de-
plored by both countries, for they
indicate that the Jap, as laborer
is not wanted.

There we're five banks in the contest,

Many cities have adopted systems
Of school saving banks and have
found them of great value in teach

1t is believed by many thinking
people that children Of this genera

and that the habit of saving is rapid
