WILL ENGLAND SEE THE
 LIGHT.

The troubles between the white population of Vancouver, B. C., and the Orientals, particularly the Japan ese, are so serious as to discount the small riots which occurred some months ago in San Francisco. The condition is probably brought about by the influx of hordes of Japanese to that region resulting from the measures taken to restrict or pro- hibit their entrance into the United States.
 A feature that lends especial in- terest to these race riots in Canada, is that when trouble between the United States and Japan was threat ening, English newspapers and statesmen were the most severe critics of this country and found much fault because the Orientals were not adequately protected. Now it will be worth while to watch the course of England in dealing with a similar but more serious con dition in Canada.
 There is absolutely no doubt but if the Oriental races are admitted freely to the North American conti- nent they would soon come in such vast numbers as to threaten the supremacy of the white race. It is also apparent that it is the purpose of the Japanese to get strong foot hold on the Western coast of both Canada and the United States, and the steps that may be found neces- sary to prevent this threatened danger may at any moment precipi- tate this country in costly war.
 In view of the trend of events it is not to be expected that the talk about the yellow periP' will be so funny in the future as in the past. Should the Chinese. spurred on by the success of the Japanese, awaken and follow in the footsteps of the latter. the yellow peril'' will in- deed have become thing of life and reality.

The Real Question.

Let those who scold at the Presi- dent for the depression of the stock market ask themselves one question. Is their protest based on any motive nobler than unwillingness to pay the price of justice? Some of them are Bourbons in their nature and on them argument would be wasted. Some there are, however, who eight months ago approved the Presidents effort to help forward movement by which the rich should be treated like the poor. In any financial re- form, in any effort to remove in- justice. there must be temporary upset. Do our people wish justice only if nobody has to pay a cent {? The Standard Oil verdicts, it will be remembered, were obtained under the Elkins act, and therefore were not made possible by any recent legislation. Some of this legislation. therefore, considering the relation of its actual efficiency to the degree of it's sound and fury, has kind of resemblance to traditional tom-tom Chinese warfare. Enforcement, not legislation, is the strongest feature of recent policy toward the trusts. -- Golfers.

next election for this short coming.
 But, seriously, MT. Cannon doubt less means that Congress will be so busy looking after financial affairs that there will be no time to con- sider reform legislation such as President Roosevelt has given all to understand will be called for in his next message.
 Speaker Cannon and his packers are going to make another stand pat fight.
 Any one who has gwen the least attention to the utterances of Presi- dent Roosevelt will realize how for eign this will be to his wishes and the fight between this official, who represents the wishes of the masses and the officials in Congress like Cannon, who represent the classes. will be watched with the closest in- terest.
 The President may not win a de- cisive victory this time, but those he is so earnestly representing are learning lessons from this struggle that will arm them for a certain victory in the future.

Hot Shot From a Preacher.

During the last year or two six or eight revivalists have done a very successul work in the Middle West. The most successful is the Rev. Billy Sunday, whose story is fully told in the Septemper American Magazine.
 Sunday is very severe with those who criticize him. Here is speech he made the other day in one of his meetings:
 'I understand that a young wom- an is going about this town into your homes and business houses peddling that low-down infamous, malicious, premeditated, damnable, dirty, black-hearted lie that at a town or some town at which I was holding a meeting noticed two young ladies in the audience who were wearing red hats, and that l shouted that if there was a cowboy in the audience l would like to have him lasso those two red heifers. If 1 ever said such thing I deserved to be tarred and feathered. 1 will willingly give $1, 900 to any man or woman who. can prove that 1 ever did such a thing as that. It is a damnable lie-a lie, a lie! If that's not plain, come to me. 1 don't vary often pay any attention to stories about me, but when any one tries to blacken my character I'll fight with every drop of blood in my body and won't allow any hatch et-faced, frizzle-haired hussy to ruin my reputation. 1 don't want to carry malice. but I will stand up for my good name. If you see her to- morrow give her my love-"

IN ANNUAL CONVENTION.
Missouri State Federation of Labor In Session at SedaIia With 100
 Delegates Present.

Sedalia, Mo-, Sept. 17.-The 18th an. nual convention of the Missouri Fed eration of Labor met here Monday morning with over 100 representa-. tives of the local unions of Missouri in attendance. President Sheridan reported a good growth in the state during the past year and cited the fact that several unions had affiliated with the State Federation. Several special committees presented reports.
 For the federation legislative con- mittee Secretary Charles w. Fear presented lengthy report of the re. suit of the work carried on at the last session of the Legislature. The re. port made several recommendation to organize labor of Missouri. One of the most important was as follows:
 "The members of the State Legisla- tive committee desire to recommend that organized workmen of the state become active in the political party with which they are affiliated with the purpose of having men from the ranks of labor nominated and elected as members of the state senate the state house of representatives.
 Secretary Fear also reported that 14 labor bills were passed by the last legislature and that many obnoxious bills were defeated. A detailed report of the way each senator and repre- sentative voted on all labor bills will beA circulated broadcast throughout the state.
 Monday night a mass meeting was held, at which various leaders dis cussed different phrases of the labor question.

The Parcels Post System.

Brother Farmer, we don't want to
 keep eternally dinging at you on tHls
 one subject, but we want you to
 realize that it is coming up in Con
 gress this coming winter and we
 want you to let your congressman
 know how you stand on it. It is the
 parcels post question. Can there be farmer in Nebraska or Kansas who is against the delivery of par cels by mail at a reasonable rate :?
 If there is we would like to have him
 write to the Farm Magazine and tell
 just what you see wrong about 1t.
 We would like to know how he likes the system that allows a parcel to be sent from Nebraska to England for about one-half of what it would cost
 to send the same parcel from one Nebraska town to the other Dur ing the last year one express com pany has, in addition to the regular dividends, divided up among its stockholders $25, ,O0O,0O This is one of the five big companies that is fighting the parcels post tooth and nail. Can you blame them for not wanting to let loose of system that enables them to milk" the the people of the United States :? Through their control of Congress they have found it an easy matter to knock out this reform of our postal laws as often as it came up, but they are going to find it harder to do from this on. Fear of losing his job is the only thing that will pry the opposing congressman away from the express companies. So, brother farmer, write your congressman letter telling him you want parcels post and want it this winter. Tell him if he don't work for it that you would like new congressman This is the only thing that will get him where he lives" He may try to work the small storekeeper racket on you, but don't be fooled that way. Ninety per cent of the mail order goods come by freight, and alwa, s will. He may say something about expense. Ask him who pays the bills! Ask him if it isn't just as easy to vote money for the mail ser vice as it is to vote S, 900, 900 battle ships dozen at time, or ship sub sidies that go to Morgan or Rocke- feller. We can get what we want in this country by fighting for it, and in no other way.--Farm Magazine.

Arkansas, some lVO miles from the city of Little Rock, more than 130 diamonds have been found within the past year. In slze, they vary from 1-64 carat to 6 l-Z carats: from dark brown to the high-prized blue-white.
 Fifteen people discovered all these jewels, mostly by kneeling on the ground and poking them up with sticks from within ore or two inches of the surface. Even in it's rough state, the diamonds glitter is un- mistakable. After one successful experience, the lucky searcher does not fail to recognize it again.
 One diamond was excavated from a depth of fifteen feet. Indeed, the same rock which furnishes the gems on the surface has been proved, by three sets of drillholes, to remain constant to depth of over 200 feet. And this blue-green rock, decom- posed ''peridotite," resembles geo. logically the "blue ground" of the Kimberly mines in South Africa, from which fortunes have been talk en in diamonds within thirty years.

JUDGE PRlCKETT AND THE
 COUNTY ROADS.

The determination of Judge Prick ett to keep the roads of Polk county in repair all the year around will re- ceive the most hearty approval of all who have the interest of the people at heart.
 There was more actual road build ing done in this county last year than ever before in its history and many miles of good dirt roads were completed as we'll as dirt roads ever can be completed.
 Despite the rains of last winter and spring, and the large amount of heavy hauling done, particularly of lumber, the greater part of those roads remained in good condition, but for the lack of a little CONSTANT ATTENTION dozens of places became almost impossible. and resulted in a great loss not only to those who had to use the roads. but to Mena and Polk county business interests.
 This consideration was spoken of repeatedly by The Star at the time, a drive over the roads in question making clear to any observer that in dozens of places a few hours work-a stitch in time" would have avoided heavy expense later. and in addition, made travelling over the roads with either heavy loads or light ones possible without unreason- able effort on the part of men or beasts.
 If the system now adopted by Judge Prickett is carried out with proper attention and watchfulness, it will do much to build up the busi- ness interests of fIMena by enabling the people of Polk and adjoining counties to drive to and from the city in comfort. This will also bring people here to help develop the country who would never come otherwise.

SEEKING HER CHILD.
Mother Who Gave Her Son Away Now
 Wants Him.

Hot Springs, Sept. 16.-After giving her small son away, Mrs. John Sutherland of Chapel Hill has followed bim to Hot Spriu gs, seeking traces of his foster par. ents, anxious to get the Swear old boy back again.
 She has not seen the child for several years. Estranged from her husband and compelled to earn her own living, Mrs. Suther- land in 1904 gave him to another family named Brown, who promised to take good care of him. Later she went to get her boy back, but found that the Browns had left Chapel Hill for Hot Springs. She immediately followed them and is now seeking ardently for the child.

NEGLECT Or OPPORTUNITY

Mena is more prosperous at this time than at any time in her history. There is more business, more build ing planned and in course of con- struction and more substantial and well-to-do men establishing them selves and families here than ever before.
 These people are rapidly develop ing a good many of the resources of Mena and Polk county-but one of the greatest opportunities is utterly neglected-her chance to become a resort in both summer and winter for those who appreciate health and comfort. People are knocking at our doors all the year round and asking for a chance to come and share with us our fine climate. All they ask is accommodation. Opportunity is before us. What will be done?

 PREPARE FOR FIRST BALE

Reports are coming from towns around Mena of the reception given to the farmer who brings to market the first bale of cotton of the season. The energetic farmer, who came into Lockesburg a few days ago with the first bale, went home with more than $l00 in his pocket.
 The merchants of Mena should be preparing to advertise Mena as a cotton buying center by giving the first bale that comes to this city a warm reception. Make the price high and the premium big and The Star will tell the cotton growers that Mena is the best market in Western Arkansas.

There have been made in recent days all sorts of comparisons tend ing to illustrate the size of the great steamship Lusitania. How are these: As wide as Mena street from the front of The Star building to Lochridge's building; as long as the distance from Mena street to the main entrance to Janssen park; as high as a 5 or 6-story building. Perhaps the size of the four smoke stacks, each of which is 155 high and 25 feet in diameter would give a better realization of the power that it takes to drive this monster than the mere statement that the engines develop 6S,000 horse power. And plans are now being drawn for a much larger vessel.

ARKANSAS DEAF
 MUTE SCHOOL
C)neus October 2-Interesting Points About the institution for the Edu- cation of the Deaf, Dumb and
 Blind of Our State.

This is a free school for all the deaf children of a sound mind in the state; not an asylum for the feeble minded, crippled or infirm'. Every good citizen ought to see to 1t that the parents of deaf children in his neighborhood know of the school and urge them to take advantage of its priyelege. It is an educational in stitutetion of which every citizen should feel proud. Itis doing noble work for these afflicted children.
 The public schools are free to the hearing. This school is free to the deaf. The parents of deaf children who have kept them away from school have robbed them of the privi- leges justly due them. This IS the only place in the state where they can be taught and to leave them un- educated is dangerous. Educated, they are support to the family and society;uneducated they are a burden to both. Parents ought not to let a mistaken idea of love and dread of sepvration drive them to make the | lamentable error of keeping their deaf children at home.
 The institute has g teachers in the school proper and 9 instructors in the trades and professions. Last year 299 pupils attended this school. You send your children to school un- trained and they send them back as educated workmen. There are a physician, aurist, dentist and two nurses who are paid regular salaries to look after the children; four wo- men who are constantly with the girle when they are not busy with lessons, one of them to go through the dormitory every half hour at night see that and the little ones are cov- cred and comfortable and man and a woman to be with the little boys. Besides the common school branch es the following trades are taught:
 To the girls Dress-making, tailor ing, cooking, house-work, fancy needle work, basket-weaving, type writing, bookkeeping and art.
 To the boys-Printing, painting, cabinet-making, turning, carpentry, paper-hanging, clustering, tailoring, harness-making, shoe-making, type writing, bookkeeping and art. The buildings are most beautifully situated on the highest hill near Little Rock, making good health certain. Everything is free to the deaf ex- cept clothing and railroad expenses and even that is free to those who are too poor to pay it.
 We have a sparate department for colored deaf which is located about 300 yards from the white school. Industrial training will be the prin- cipal feature of this department and we shall try to teach every child a trade by which he or she can make a living after school; for we believe that it is greater blessing to them and humanity to train the hand of the negro to make an honest living than to teach his brain to dissipate in the sciences.

Say no Eyf.

Though it is equally of bad con- sequence to society that all men should have either good or ill charac- ters which they do not deserve; yet, when you say somewhat good of a man which he does not deserve, there is no wrong done him in par ticular, whereas, when you say evil of man which he does not deserve, here is a direct formal injury, real piece of injustice done him.

POLICY OF NEXT CONGRESS

Speaker Cannon is said to have remarked that in the next session of Congress the appropration bill will call for billion dollars and that it will take all the time of the session to spend it wisely. It naturally should take Congress long time to spend billion. It might be they could not spend 1t all during the ses- sion if they did not try too hard and in this case we would not feel like refusing to vote for them at the

TRUE REST.

Lay aside your burdens.
 Sing another lay; View the sky and mountains.
 Forget the yesterday. Take a flight of fancy
 Over field and stream; Give your mind a respite,
 Call the past a dream. It's not work that kills us-
 Work is Natures night. But worry is the nemesis
 That haunts us day and night. Do your best at everything,
 That is sure to win; Then do not stop to worry.
 But be at peace within,
