JAPANESE RIGHTS.

Your editorial i'm The Press of
January Bird, proves to mcthat the
populacc of the eastern states do
not fully appreciate the Japanese
menace to America: and by Amer
lea | refer to that vast portion of
the United States west of the
Rocky mountains which, by its
contiguity to Japan. receives most
of its overflow and at present holds
them.
The Press motto, | observe. is
"thc injury of one is the concern

ly the latter for most of us admit
that ''charity begins at home.' or
at least, the initiative should be
there.

while we can give them separate

cry advantage awarded our own

Nearly all, if not all the South
ern states exclude the negro from
the schools where a separate school
can be afforded. and by constitn-
tional amendments the negro is a
citizen of the United States. with
all the rights and privileges at
tached thereto: while in contradis-
tinction the Jap is not a citizen,
and by constitutional provision he
never "a become Il citizen. and he
does not want to become one.
The negro does not object to his
segregation. but the Jap realizes
that he has been to a certain ex-
tent, a hero in American ewes. and
in consequence is pulled up with
pride and an overpowering sense
of his superiority and greatness.

Concluded next week.
We regret that we are unable tc
print all of Mr.. Converse's lette,
this week.
The Press is not going to take
up any particular defense of the
japanese in America. 1t has been
accustomed to reading and belicv.
ing all its life that the japanese
people at home were as far ahead
of the Chinese as Mr.. Booker
Washington is ahead of an Afri-
can %hottentot: that they were a
revcrent'al. temperate, industrious
and thrifty people. But if this
were not SO, II ground of conten-
ton were still good. The govern
ment of Japan in acting on her
treaty rights can safely hold that
her people when they come to this
country. shall not be put down on
"a lcyel with the negroes of the
South.
Now then, San Francisco, as we
believe, has made the complaint
in one breath that the earthquake
has crippled her so that she cannot
build sufficient school houses for
the Japanese. In the next breath
she goes to work to build separate
buildings for the Jap. population.
The trouble is, California is so
deathly afraid of the Chinese and
Japanese people hat she has no
time to care 8 whit about the ne
gro of the South. We are glad to

L,rht runchcOn. for Hot DAYS.

Summertime Is the season when
light refreshments Of some kind are
needed almost every day for little trips
and outings-to entertain casual guests
and for luncheon on days too wqrna for
heavy foods.
There are many summertime biscuit
and waters baked by the Natl nal Mis-
cult Company and packed in packages
that keep out all dampness and dust OF
travel and absolutely preserve the orig
inal oven freshness Of the contents
Among the most popular of these
dainties are Social Tea Biscuit. They
are so appropriate for many different
occasions that few packages in the
house prepare you to serve a light re-
freshment without moments notice.
Social Tea Biscuit are a real food,
but so light and unusual that they
tempt the appetite and make well
come accompaniment to luncheon, des-
sert, or dinner-a social cup of tea or
cooling beverage.
Always serve Social Tea Biscuit from
the original package, because then you
are sure that no dust or dampness
has reached them and that you will en-
Joy all their original freshness of flavor

Dyeing and Finishing Textiles.

the cotton cloth bleached and nearly
the whole of the cotton cloth mercer

lishments. In the quantity of cotton
stock and yarn dyed and bleached,
however. the cotton mills greatly eX-
ceeded the independent establishment,
Practically two-thirds Of the dyeing

independent establishments. The
quantity Of cloth dyed and finished in
the wooden manufacturing industries
was not reported.
| The number of establishments en-
gagged primarily in dyeing and finish

ANOTHER FISH STORY.
Number "23" HOOdoOs Followers of
IEaHlS Walton at Danbury


I1aHk Walton at Dnnbury
Danbury July 15,--A party of Dan
bury men went to Peach Lake last
week and claimed to be going fishing,
although they carried neither poles,
lines nor hooks, to say nothing of bait.
The best part Of it all was that they
brought home twenty-three good sized
white perch, too.
The explanation of the mystery is
given by another party of Danbury
men who have been camping at the
lake. They say that they had been out
fishing on the day that the visitors ar
rived. The fish were safely confined in
the well Of one of the boats until the
visitors were informed of their pres
ence there, After the visitors were
gone, the tWenty-three fish were found
to be missing. Some of the party are
Of the opinion that the number was a
hoodoo.
1t has not been recorded what the
owner Of the fish said when he failed
to connect with them. But he has the
satisfaction Of knowing that there are
plenty more in the lake.
