Bismarck daily tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1881-1916, 1907-02-28

In another column appears a contri-
button from a farmer from Frances
township in Burleigh in which some
of the grievances from farmers
standpoint are recited The Tribune
is inclined to believe that the cor
respondent In this instance is too
radical and too unreasonable in his;
censure of the city merchant. There
are farmers who bring produce to
the market that cannot stand a very
rigid inspection, and while 1t may be
the exception the home merchant
feels that there are at last two sides
to this question. It is doubtful if the .
experience Of the farmers who have.
dealt with eastern catalogue houses
has been sufficiently satisfactory to
warrant defense of their methods
and it is likely that the Tribune's
correspo pendent from Frances has had
some experiences not customary in
the dealings between the city mer-
chant and the farmer. III !

MRS. HAMBURGER
LAID TO REST

Quiet and unostentatious were the
funeral services over the body of Mrs;
Hannah Hamburger at the beautiful
family home. 1147 South Flower street,
The home where the mother had been
the center Of a loving circle was sad
dened by the sudden visit of death, The
services yesterday were private and of a
simple nature. Dr.. S. Hecht.. rabbi Of
Temple B'nai Birth, officiated, reading
the Jewish ritual.
Mrs. Hamburger although an invalid
for many years, had a large number of
friends and the high esteem in which
she was held was attested by the many
banked on and about the casket, almost
hiding it's lines with the beautiful bios
SONS.
The following acted as pallbearers: w.
e. Chamberlain, Marco Hellnan, L. d.
Lederman, Louis Cole, irving Hellman
and Isadore Polaski.
Following the service at the home the
funeral cortege wended it's way to the
Jewish cemetery where, with the simple
ceremonies that marked the funeral, the
body of a loving wife. mother and friend
was laid in its last resting place.

MOTHER BLAMES
RELIGIOUS SECT

Mrs. James Ward, mother of Margaret
Ward, the little girl who was brutally
treated by an unidentified man at her
home on Lucille avenue Thursday after
noon, is satisfied, according to state
ment which she made yesterday after
noon, that robbery was not the motive
Of the assault and Ill treatment of her
daughter, She states that. in her belief
the brutal act was the work of some one
connected with the fanatica1 sect com
monty known as Holy Jumpers, and that
the object was revenge for the foiling of
plans laid by some of the Jumpers to
kidnap her daughter several months ago.
The Holy Jumpers said Mrs. Ward,
tried several months ago to carry off my
daughter. 1 prevented the deed, and they
then threatened that they would get even
with us. l am confident that 1t was to
get even with us that my daughter was
assaulted Thursday afternoon, and when
the man who did 1t is captured 1t will he
found he is an agent of the Jumpers"
Margaret Ward was still confined to her
bed yesterday, suffering from the effects
OF the. shock of the attack made upon
her. She is in an improved condition and
will, no doubt. be perfectly well in a few
days.
Although the police worked industri-
ously upon the case yesterday they are
no nearer solution of the identity OF the
man who made the attack upon the young
girl than they were when 1t was first re-
ported. They have secured an excellent
description of the fellow, however, and
hope to have him in custody within a
short time.

AN IMPOTENT peril"

The question has been officially
raised in Los Angeles whether a Jap
anese is entitled to naturalization as
an American citizen. The application
of Japanese to be naturalized has
raised the issue. So far as is known
locally the subject has never been
passed upon anywhere in the United
States.
The question is interesting from a
legal point of view, but practically it
is unimportant because Sof the rela-
lively insignificant immigration from
Japan and the extraordinary fondness
of the Japanese for their native land
An idea of the danger to be appre-
hended from Japanese immigration and
citizenship in this country may be
gained from the fact that of the total
annual arrivals of immigrants in the
United States only about one in a
thousand is Japanese.
In the state conventions of the lead
ing political parties certain classes of
Europeans are put upon a level with
Chinese as Objectionable. For in
stance, the Democrats of Illinois have
declared against 1.-The disastrous and
fatal competition of Chinese coolies
and the cheap South Europe emigrant
labor" The Pennsylvania Republi-
cans urge further amendment of our
immigration and naturalization laws
so that undesirable foreign elements
may be excluded"
Notice now the comparative arrivals
of immigrants from Japan and from
the undesirable elements" of Europe.
Last year the total number of jap
anese arrivals in the United States
was 1856. During the same period
there came from Italy and Sicily
273, ,120-twenty times the number of
japanese arrivals; from Austria Hun
gary 265,13S and from Russia 215,655.
The total immigration last year
footed up 1,1O0,7S5. This year the
ratio of European "undesirables" is
increasing so fast that the officials
expect the total to reach 100000. On
the other hand the Japanese arrivals
have fallen off largely.
From these figures it will be seen
that Japanese immigration thus far
has cut no figure worth considering in
the aggregate of foreign arrivals. AS
to the future there is no likelihood of
any considerable increase because of
the opportunities offered near home, in
Korea, Formosa and Manchuria, where
the Japanese are in governmental
control, either completely, as in the
two former, or practically so, as in the
latter.
The Japanese peril' in the United
States is a figment OF walking dele
gate imagination.

RUFF AND HIS cHUMS

For the second time within few
months Abe Ruef has posed as the most
striking figure in California.
The first time was at the memorable
banquet in Santa Cruz, on the occa-
sion of the Republican state conven-
tion, when Ruef was photographed as
the central figure at the table. In
standing pose behind Ruef, it will be
remembered, was the tall figure of the
present governor of California, with one
hand resting Familiarity upon a shoul-
der Of the man by whose grace he re-
celved the nomination.
The other especially striking spectacle
of Ruef was his pose in court as a con-
fessed criminal, pleading guilty to one
OF more than half hundred indict-
ments for felonies punishable by incar-
ceration in state prison.
But Abe Ruef, guilty of crimes that
would entail sentences covering half a
dozen lifetimes, if all the indictments
were pressed, is still one of the chief
factors in the Republican organization
of this state. He still retains his posi-
ton as member of the executive COM
mittee of the Republican state commit
tee. Probably he is not so potential a
factor in the inner councils of the party
as he was at the time of the Santa
Cruz gathering, but he holds the place
nevertheless.
Only one Republican newspaper, so
far as observed, has demanded Ruef's
as a manager of the party
in this state. Abiding to the action
Of their organization the paper alluded |
to says: Would it not be a good thing |
to get him (RueD out of the party
in the same way? If he has
no sense Of the appropriateness of
things, so as to see that it is not in
good taste for him to longer hold this
position. why not impress upon him
that fact in a forcible way?"
1t is because Ruef's political influence
S gone, not because of conscientious
motives, that he is now likely to be
Kicked out OF the councils Of his party.
His character was as well known at
he period of the Santa Cruz conven-
ion as it is today. When James n.
Iillett placed his hand lovingly on
2uef's shoulder in a pose for the ban
Iuet picture, he knew, as well as he
.nows now, that Ruefs political power
n San Francisco was based largely on
he corrupt practices that the boss had
educed to a science.
AS Ruef says in his confession, 'I
ound that to hold the machine to-
ether had to connive at corruption" :
md again, There are 5000 persons in {
mis- city now occupying positions I
aimed for them through my help which
re paying higher salaries than they
yer knew anything about"
And these methods of the boss were
S we'll known to Mr.. Gillett and the
ther chieftains of the Republican ma
hine, on the night of that banquet, as A
hey are known today.
No; Abe Ruef is a consistent repre-
entative of the California Republican f
Machine. Even the inconvenience of
with him through the Z,
BARS Of San Quentin prison should not {
destroy his usefulness for political ma
,hine purposes.
