lS THEY SEE JAPANESE

The big eastern papers or the coun- try all appear to take the same view Of the Paci6c coast labor troubles. as the middle west and coast papers them selves have taken. The Japanese are not wanted in this country and they
 should not be allowed here. Of course, 1t is not fair that they should be permitted to come here and then mis treated. They should be Kept out in the beginning.
 Japanese do not welcome whites as business competitors, says the New York Mail, and remarks:
 To get a c ,mpIete view of the phe- .uOmenOn, it is necessary to note that, by wsys less direct and less violent, the Jsp4nese people themselves are making 1t to the interest of the occidental for eIEner 10 choose a F, sidence where; as 8 tourist and sojourner he is vel .come-nos as 8 business competitor. It is apparen, that tbe world is not get ready for the gospel of cosmopolitan ism"
 The Mail might have added that Jap. .snese do not want even the business competition Of Chinese. for they re gently barred 50 Chinese from Kobe and are discharging Chinese AbOrsrs from railroad work.
 The New York Globe describes the sntsgonlsm as sprlnginF from pro found racial instinct, several layers deeper than prejudice" It adds; Paper treaties of alliance and friend ship, DO matter how carefully drawn by diplomstists, are not able to suppress it. Vancouver has cleared away the surface explanation aud revealed, so the whole world may read, that the two great English-speaking countries and through them others, confront DO petty -problem-s problem that concerns not only the living but the unborn. The introduction of the negro was mistake enough, Complete re- Spect yet practically complete separs- Iion and recognition of the possession Of different national orbits and of diff. ierenL roles ID the world tssk-.his is a doctrine the JRpansse people win be compelled to accept. And the accept suce means peace"
 The Chicago Post ayers that the checking of the hoodlums in San Fran cisco or the mobs in Vancouver ''does not touch the underlying question which must be answered eventually. The Pal Mall Gazette puts the danger in plain words;
 "If an unrestricted tide of Asiatics were allowed to occupy these vacant hospitable areas, it would require but a few years to produce an Oriental pre- dominance iD the fairest aud richest possession of the British Empire and perhaps defect the whole course of it's civilization and destiny"
 These newspaper opinions, saken at random out of many, show that the country has come to a new realization of the problem, since Vancouver 'has cleared away the surface explanation. 7" And though tbs deeper problem makes

ILLINOIS BEING
RID Of BOOZE

Chicago, Nov. 6.-At the first test
of the new local option law made in
Illinois counties not under township
organizations, seven counties went IN
for prohibition and in many
former license strongholds the prohi-
bition forces were in a measure vic
tOrious. The claim was made at mid
night at the headquarters of the Anti
Saloon League at Springfield that IL
16 counties voting yesterday, $50 sa-
looms had been forced out of bust
ness and that 80 per cent of the terri
tory affected had been brought into
dry" territory. At Jacksonville 30
saloons were voted out and at Du
quoin. where a sharp fight was waged.
the prohibitionists won by 26 votes.
In southern Illinois. mining towns
without exception went dry" The
following counties were reported in
the prohibition column at midnight:
Williamson. Union, Edwards, Har-
din, Johnson, Massae, Morgan, Perry.
y, Pc. Pulaski. Scott, Wabash, Cal
houn, and Cass, except Beardstown.
Jacksonville. H., Nov. 6.-Local op-
ton won in the city election by 600
votes, and 80 saloons will &c closed.
DuQuoin, H., Nov. 6.-Duquoin voted
out saloons and large temperance
demonstration followed.

THE SALOON ISSUE.

Two of the four districts into which
Delaware is divided voted to prohibit
the sale Of liquor and one district
voted for license and one is in doubt.
In Kentucky the latest returns indi-
Gated that the people of the state were
against the extension Of local option to
counties containing large cities, but in
Louisville prohibition won easily-that
is the city went strongly for a Sunday
closing.
E. F. Noel, elected governor of Mis-
sissippi as a democrat, is an avowed
prOhibitionist.
John Franklin Foot, republican,
pledged to Sunday closing in New
Jersey is probably defeated for gov
ernor. His opponent, Katzenback,
lodged the liquor issue in the cam
paign, but probably faYors liberal laws.

Long Island city, and welcome home
of the villagers of Oyster Bay afforded
the president opportunity to confer at
length with Secretary Cortelyou on
the financial situation.
The president smilingly acknowl-
edged the cheers OF the crowds at
Jersey City and Long Island City, and
was most cordial in personal greetings
to his Oyster Bay n~ighbors, who met
him at the station. While the hand
shaking was in progress a salute of q
guns was being fired from a miniature
cannon. The stay in the village was
only sufficient to allow the president
and Secretary Loeb to vote. The pres.
ident reached Washington at 6:16 last
night.

JUDGE QUARLES To
HEAR FRAUD CASES
WISCONSIN LUMRERMEN ASK RE-
LEASE FROM CUSTODY.
ECHO FROM BORAH CASES
Charged With Conspiracy to Defraud
They Seek to Escape Trial on
Ground of lnsufficiency of Evil
dence-Defendants Are Prominent
Lumbermen Of Northern Wisconsin.

Whether James T. Barber and Sum-
ner G. Moon, prominent lumbermen
OF Eau Claire, shall be compelled TO
go to Idaho to answer to indictments
for conspiracy and fraud against the
United States government Will be de-
tsrmined in federal court here
the hearing beginning today, Judge
J. V. Quarles sitting.
The charges against Messrs. Bar
Der and Moon are similar ~ those
made against Senator Borah and OF
which he was recently acquitted. They
were given a hearing recently at Eau
Claire before Court Commissioner
Henry McBain in d requisition pro-
ceeding. The determination was ad
verse to them and they were commit
ted to the custody OF the United
States marshal in which predicaGenr
they now are and for relief from which
they have invoked the judgment Of
the federal court, the proceeding be-
ing on a writ of habeas corpus.
In court today District AttoI ley w.
G.. Wheeler will ask an order of the
court to take them to Idaho for trial.
To this proceeding the defendants are
expected to demur on the ground that
there is not sufficient evidence to hold
them and upon that question argu-
meuts will be presented to the court.
II The writ of habeas corpus Is
granted the district attorney may APP
peal the case. If on the other hand
the writ is denied the defendants
will then ask leave to introduce evil
dence to show their innocence of the
charge. Attorney Bundy, of the firm
of Bundy & Wilcox of Eau Claire will
appear for them.
Messrs. Barber and Moon have been
identified with the lumber business of
northern Wisconsin for many years
and both are wealthy. Mr.. Barber
has been prominent in republican poll
tics for years and was active in the
movement to defeat the political am
bition of Governor La Toilette when
the stalwart-halfbreed controversy
was in vogue,

IS WHOLE NATION
SOON TO Be DRY2
REMARKABLE SPREAD OF THE
TEMPERANCE MOVEMENT.
REFORM NOT SECTIONAL
Some SO, 100000 Americans Even Now
p Are Living In Drink, Barred Ter
ritory And The Humber Increases
Every Year-Prohibition Sentiment
Coming Fast.

Predictions are freely made that if
the prohibition Of the liquor traffic
does not become a national political
issue within a few short years it will
be because the issue itself will have
been eliminated. by state legislation
rendering the manufacture and sale
of liquor impossible.
The temperance movement is
sweeping the country in an irresisti.
bic wave, and soon, it is asserted, no
whisky will be sold in the United
States except in the larger cities, int6
which the criminal elements of the
country will flock. The trend is to
ward enforced abstinence, and the
makers Of liquor are plainly alarmed
The prohibition party does not pol
large vote-but 33,600,000 Ameri
cans live in prohibition territory.
The prohibition party has only
twenty members of the legislature in
all the states of the union put to
gether-but five of these states, in
Guiding Oklahoma, have passed tota
abstinence laws and thirty-four have
! local option statutes.
| Evidently the prohibition sentimen
of the country cannot be measured BY
the prohibition party.
| That this sentiment is on the in
crease there is no question. Consider

Waverly, Iowa, Nov. 6.-The Brem-

weeks ago indicted Ia members of the
medical association, alleging violation
of the antitrust law, has reported ad-
ditional indictments against DR.. w. A.
Rohlf and DR.. o. L. Chaffe on the gen.

as one of the accused doctors had
been employed, after he had refused
to sign the union scale.

Women Eager Bidders at Auction Of
Insurance Presidents Furniture.
New York, Nov. with few excep-
tions low prices prevailed at the auc-
ton sale of the regal office furnishings
of Richard McCurdy, former president
of the Mutual Life, at the Fifth Ave
nue. Art Galleries. More than three
hundred persons attended the matinee,
four-ffths of whom were women
About half of the finery was disposed
OF. The furniture offered was made
by Linke Of Paris, and consisted OF
superbly carved parlor, draWing-room
and office sets. Inc entire lot sold
during the afternoon brought $6,S40
and it was announced that it's cost to
the Mutual policy-holders was not
less than $4,000.
Mrs. Richard Hudnut was the most
lavish purchaser among the women.
She bought twenty-one pieces of fur
niture. She paid $197 for a set of
seven chairs and sofa for which the
Mutual Life policy-hoIders are said to
have paid $3.50.
All through the sale there was a
reckless disregard on the part of the
bidders for the extravagant prices paid
by the Mutual directors.
There is no reason why we
should squander money just because
the insurance people did remarked
one young woman as she bid So for a
hand-carved oak table that probably
cost not less than $125. This particu-
lar table stood in a room adjoining
tLay of President McCurdy, and on it
was a fine silver tray that had received
the cards of the presidents callers.
The table was sold to John H. Frey,
a dealer in antiques, for $35. The
tray went to Mr.. Frey for $3.50.
Richard McCurdy's. own private
white enamelled nbrella rack, for
which the directors paid $75, was cap
tured by a dealer IN antiques for $40.
Among the most conspicuous pur.
chasers were Oscar Tschirky, mana
ger of the Waldorf-Astoria; John H
Flaggler, Jr and Gilbert Rafferty,, a
Pittsburg coal operator.

ing "Kun'els." But 100000 out of
the 100000 people of Kentucky have
chosen to live in dry territory; 81 out
of 119 counties are prohibition.
South Going Dry.
In the south especially the prohibit
ton movement is spreading. Mississ
ippi almost certain will put state
anti-liquor law on is books at the
next session.
Alabama allows no saloons to re-
main open after p. m. Birmingham,
the states largest city, "the Pittsburg
of the SOUTH" only the other day voted
itself into a dry town. AS a result of
the Birmingham election the state
legislature, which convenes in Nov
embeT, is practically certain to pass
a state prohibition law.
The movement is particularly strong
in the south because of the negro
question. White southerners, who do
the voting, have about concluded that
they would rather go without whisky
themselves than have it and let the
negroes have it, too.
The condition of the prohibition
movement in the various states is sub
joined:
Alabama-Majority OF counties dry.
Arkansas of population
live in dry territory. License major
ity of $4,000 in 1894 has changed to
an aggregate majority of 10000 for
prohibition in 1906.
California-Four dry counties and
much dry territory in other counties.
Prohibition sentiment increasing rap,
idly, Judging by recent local elections.
Colorado-Town local option; nine,
ty-six no license to .seventy-two license
towns

Florida-Thirty-se dry counties

Illinois-Probably 600 dry towns.
Local option law recently passed.
Ten dry counties.
Indiana-Half of population in dry
territory.
-Sixty-five out Of ninety-nine
counties dry Eleven other counties
have only one saloon town apiece.
Prohibition States Prosperous.
Kansas-Prohibition since 1880. OF
the 1O5 counties in the state, only
twenty-one have any paupers; thirty
FIVE have their jails absolutely empty;
thirty-seven have no criminal cases
on their dockets.
entucky-Ninety-on out of 119
counties dry. Only four counties
wholly wet Saloons closed on Sun
days.
Seven-e.ghts Of the ccun-

of southern states.
Maine-Prohibition law enforced in
nine-tenths of the state. Maine was
in 1855, the year 1t went dry, one OF
the most drunken and poorest OF
states. In 1900 it had more banks

in them than the wide open state OF
