ory. IL pleases our Uncle Sam to see
something happen that directs atten.
tion from his own shortcomings. Els.
pecialIy is this true when II is the
ally uf Japan. However, nothing but
regret Is expressed officially. That the
feeling against all Asiatics is still
strong on the Pacific coast, Is proved
by the reply of Governor Gillette of
California to Chief Terrence v.
PowderIy, who asked the governor
what class of labor was needed iu
California, the wages offered and the
nationalities preferred. Governor
Gillette replied In substance that all
Caucasipn races will be welcomed,
but that no Japanese need apply He
added that the time has come, indeed,
when many persons prefer the Chi
nese to the Japanese, as the better
choice between two evils. Thus IL may
be seen that race troubles are merely
and that they may burst
forth In further riots at any time.
The administration is not exactly at
ease over the situation.

(From the Elko Free Press.)

Decoration day is rawing near ant
preparations are in p4ogress for its OBJ
servance. A few d rs more and we
will repair again to Gods acre tht
silent city, where resting in eternaI
sleep lie friends, near and dear, and
cover with flowers their graves. All
business interests will be at a stand
still. For a moment the strife Of com-
mercialism will be cast aside in the
memory Of the strife that is past we
hope forever. We will associate our
thoughts with those who have passed
from earth, recall their lives and vir-
tues. It is a day Of sorrow, yet that
sorrow is one we would not miss; it is
a sweet sadness from which we would
not depart.
The custom Of strewing flowers on
the graves of soldiers originated amons
the southern women during the civil
war. Shortly after the close of the
war, General John A. Logan, in COM
pany of another of the rank were
spending the 30th of May in the city
OF baltlmOIe. Inc udy Was ucdueiiui
and they decided to walk out to the
cemeteries where were sleeping the
nations honored dead. When they
reached the sad abode of the dead they
found the cemetery filed with southern
women and school children strewing
flowers alike upon the graves of the
blue and gray. This touching scene
made an imprint on the heart of the
valiant soldier, and he being com
mander-ni-chief of the Grand Army of
the Republic, issued an order that on
May 3 of each year every post from
