JAPANESE IN COLORADO.

given picture VI 'hS JoPo
immigration to this state. Six
months ago the Japanese Popula-
ton in Denver was. estimated at
900. Now 1t is above 1000.
There are nearly 1000 of the lit
tie brown men working in the
beet fields. Here, as everywhere
else, they bring as much of Japan
along as is possible. The Japan
csc supply houses of this city
import practically everything that
their countrymen use, except the
meat and bread they eat and the
overalls they wear. 1t is more
than likely that they occasionally
import their customers, too, un-
der contract.
These conditions must impress
every thoughtful man as being
worthy the most serious study.
AS yet the Japanese are a small
fraction cf our population, it is
true. But they are steadily in
creasing part. They are working
their way rapidly to the east; and
the experience of Hawaii tells US
what that region may expect
which requires Japanese major
ity. Beginning as day laborers,
they have steadily encroached on
every field of industry. They are
a profit only to their employers;
a temporary profit, even then.
Their clannishness makes them
give their own race every advan-
tage in trade, while the whites
think only of comfort or cheapness
until it is too late to think of
other things. The Japanese have
fixed the type of civilization for
Hawaii; and if their influx is not
checked they will fix it for many
portion of the mainland of the
United States as well.
And this The News holds would
be an unmitigated calamity. We
have no patience with the cry that
the Japanese must be excluded
because they are an inferior race.
They are inferior in some ways,
but superior in others; and The
News has no means of striking a
balance between the good and i'll.
We object to the Japanese as i'm
migrants not because thev are in
ferior, for we are not sure that
they are SO; but because they are
different, hopelessly different, and
must always remain SO. The Jap
anese in our midst is an alien, and
is proud of the fact. The course
of evolution has made him very
different creature from ourselves.
The keynote Of American civili-
cation is the care for individual
freedom. The keynote of Japa-
nese life is loyalty, the sacrifice of
the individual to the master or to
the state. The legends of our
lace too often glorify the outlaw
who sets all restraint at defiance,
and owns no rule but his own un-
bridled will. The Japanese le-
gends are typifed in that of the
forty-seven Ronins, who endure
exile, starvation, humiliation and
death to revenge the death of
their master and bring his enemy's
head to his tomb.
Their race is different from
ours, their customs are different,
their ideals are different, their re-
ligion is different. The two will
not mix. They cannot adopt our
ways, nor marry with our people.
And the people whom we cannot
admit to intermarriage we should

Short Men, Beware.

other unpoetic things-have new crcs3

WAR ON THE COAL TRUST.

IT He Department of Justice at last has taken
\ up the cudgel against the coal combination
that for so many years has controlled the anthra-
cite coal fields of Pennsylvania An investigation
is TO be made OF the many charges that have been
brought against this trust, which advances or
decreases the price of coal at will and because Of
the monopolistc character of its business, COM
pels the dealers and the consumers, in the end,
to pay whatever prices it sees fit. The inquiry
will prove most interesting because coal is a COM
modify that everyone purchases and upon which
business and domestic comfort is dependent 1t
is said that the government proposes to Smash
the trust" The destruction of this combine will
be difficult task but there is no doubt that the
government can assist materially in changing
conditions as regards coal
The coal trust is different from other monopo-
lies as it is a natural monopoly and not merely
an artificial one as most of the trusts are. The
coal fields are limited and easily controlled by
any combine. The source of coal supply is re-
stricted to a few regions and is practically in the
hands Of small number of capitalists The gov
crnment has long list OF charges against the coal
barons and il it succeeds in breaking down the
present monopoly it will receive the thanks Of
the consumers as well as of the dealers in the
product who are equally and mutually dependent
upon the whims or iances of the coal monopol-
lists.

DEALING IN WILMINGTON.

THE Board Of Trade is arousing interest IN
i Wilmington, the special topic for consid-
Grafton at the last meeting having been how Will
mingtonians can be induced to deal in this city
The impression seemed to be that civic pride
should be aroused and patriotic effort made by
all residents of the city to purchase in Whining
ton whenever possible That the citizens OF the
city should patronize home industry is self evi-
dent and that our stores would be better than
they are, if their patronage was enlarged, IS also
a self evident fact 1t is true also that our news
papers would be larger and better were their pa
tronage increased.
One OF the speakers at the meeting pointed
out clearly and definitely how the trade of mer-
chants can be increased He knows that what
he SAYS is the truth and the newspaper men know
that what he says is as true as is any mathemati-
cal or chemical law Others have learned the les
son in other cities and it is being learned here.
He referred, of course, 20 the advantages OF pub
lcty, Of letting the people know what the Will
mington stores have and what their prices are
for their wares.
There are many other points, however, for the
merchants to consider and doubtless the Board
Of Trade will be enabled to assist the Whining
mand very large share of the public patronage
The merchants know that all the trade cannot be
confined to Wilmington just as Wilmington
newspapers know that newspapers from other
cities will circulate in Delaware.
But we can arouse civic spirit and a civic
pride in working heartily for Wilmington so that
as much of the business as possible can be re-
tained in this city. The Board of Trade asks that
the press of the city join in with the movement
OF course the papers will do so as the local
papers are only reflex of the civic pride or the
business Of the city. They are made by their
patrons, primarily by their subscribers who pur-
chase the paper and thereby afford the mer-
chants field and list of readers to reach, and
secondarily by the merchants who use the coll
umns Of the paper. A paper without subscribers
would be OF value to the merchants and a
paper without the merchants patronizing its
columns could not exist and be sold for a penny.
The interests of all three are bound closely and
with all working together each will be benefited.

MUST PAY HIGHER INTEREST.

ORDINANCES have been introduced in City
- Council providing for an increase in the
rate Of interest to be paid on loans to be secured
for city improvements City Council is CON
fronted with the plain situation that investors do
not desire to take the low rate of four per cent for
their money. Even conservative persons who re-
gard Municipal and County bonds as safe and
sound investment believe they can get higher
rates of interest for their money placed in other
channels which they deem just as safe. 1t is
plain business proposition with the investors and
there is nothing for the city to do but to offer
better bargain to those that have the money to
lend. Other cities are confronted with the same
problem and these cities find that they will have
to pay higher rate just as Wilmington proposes
to do

in Delaware that investments would not be re-
garded as safe as they were formerly, when there
was no difficulty in floating loans at a low rate OF
