JONES SAYS
NO ORIENTALS
Writes a Letter to Allied Printing
Trades Council at Spokane-Is
Opposed to Their Admission

Congressman Jones says keep out the
Japs and other Orientals.
He don't believe in cheap Asiatie
labor. In a recent letter to the Al.
lied Printing Trades Council at Spo-
Kane he said:
Your favor of September is, ask
ing for my position with reference
to cheap oriental labr at hand. Thi.
letter wuld have been answered soon.
er, but I have been so busy that my
mail has been somewhat neglected
You have a perfect right to know
my views on this matter, and | shall
give 70 them freely without going
into my reasons for the same at any
length.
l am emphatically opposed to the
admission into this country of cheap
oriental labor and will use my infiu-
ence to prevent it. This is no new
OplulOu upou my pdit. ho'C iSie
for many years that our immigra-
ton laws should be more stringent
than they are now. l havev so ex-
pressed myself in public way sew
eral times during the last few years.
l am opposed to this immigration
not only because of it's effect upon
labr, but because, in my judgment, it
is menace to the very existence and
the admission of his labor just now
do no great immediate harm, but
these conditions are not going to last
always, and when business becomes
slack and the demand for labor les
sens then the more of this labor we
have here the more trouble we will
have and the more danger to life and
property.
We must look to the future as we'll
as to the present. 1t were better
hat some of our enterprises proceed
more slowly than to be secured at the
cost of future riot and bloodshed.
If we cannt get legislation exclud-
ing this labor then we should try to
provide that no more of it be admit
ted to this country than of ours goes

Ing the general theme he laid en-
phasis upon the necessity of regard
ing marriag with greater serious
ness, adding in part:
Every young woman has the
right to expect to be married some
time. is she is of healthy strong
physique and normal in every way,
and should do so. 1t is deplorable
that more young women and girls
are not taught to look forward TO
domestic life as their future 1t. 1t
is unfortunate that the girls of this
land can finish the high schools and
universities and know so little of
what real, earnest domestic life
means to them. If the girls spent
half as much time in decorating the
inside of their heads as in decorat-
ing the outside, the world would be
better. Don't live by the fashion
plate. We need to have young wo-
men trained to b wives and mothers.

r.shnica, Instruction by tho state.

Technical Instruction by tho State.
The report Of the Industrial commits
sion which has been studying the sys-1
TENS Of industrial education in various
European countries is timely for many
reasons. American Industrial progress
Is involved, and so is the doctrine az
paternalism. The chief industrial coun-
tries of the old world are said to he
considerably ahead Of this country in
supplying technical education, more
especially perhaps in the number and
efficiency of schools either wholly sup
ported or substantially aided by state
funds.
A more extended, systematic and
thorough Industrial education should
prove blessing in this country If
brought about free from the drawbacks
of class Partially. Our natural re-
sources, long deemed inexhaustible,
are seen to be in danger of diminu-
ton which will place our industry up
on the same basis of operations as 9th
er countries have reached. Prodigal
waste must cease. and the alternative
to waste is skill in the handling of re-
sources. For the people Of the old
world the bottom Of the mine has long
been in sight, and they have learned to
husband natures supplies.
But there is room for a wide differ
ence Of opinion as to who shall pay for
technical training, the particular indus
! try benefited, the individual or general
society, which means the state. Mems
activities move somewhat in cycles.
Heretofore the cry In America has
been for education looking to practical
use in commerce and the learned pro-
LESSONS. Private and public schools
have met the requirement If the de-
mand Of the times is for expensive
technical education and the state sup
plies it as matter Of public economy
the question must arise whether any
and every trade, business and prOfes.
sion may not claim the same cOmmeN
cial importance and the same right to
public support. In Europe the citizen
exists for the state. Should the Amer
| lean citizen become the creature of the
state in an economic sense he is only
short step from asserting to the doc
| trine of divine right in government and
all that goes with that, for then, to
paraphrase Tennyson, 1.-THE individual
withers and the state is more and
more"

To Build a Factory Here.

The stockholders OF the SwensC n
Valve Company held special meeting
in Decurah last Wednesday afternoon
to consider the matter of increasing
their capital stock from S25. 600 to
$50, 600 for the purpose of constructing
foundry and factory for the manu-
facture of the Swenson self-grinding
valve Secretary E. w. Hoyt made a
comprehensive report, recommending
the construction of the factory, and
the company voted TO build it. The
plans are not yet complete, but the
building will be substantial one,
located near the Union Fibre Com
pany plant in the fourth ward
While only a small number of men
will be employed at the start, the pro-
spects for the future of the business
indicate that within short time it
will be necessary to employ quite a
large force to produce the necessary
output
The business of this concern is de-
veloping rapidly under efficient man
agement, and its field is unlimited
We hope and believe that a start has
been made which will develop into a
large and lucrative business. ~

lis Now the "0neota" River.

Acting upon suggestion made by
this paper few weeks ago, which
was followed up bv petition from
citizens of DEBORAH, Representative
p. NJ. Jewell has secured the passage
of bill in the Iowa Legislature,
changing the name of the Upper
Iowa River to the ''Oneota, " which
will hereafter be the official name of
the stream which runs through north
eastern Iowa and empties into the
Mississippi near New Albin. The
fact that there is river in the central
part of the state known as the Iowa
River and that Oneota is the original
Indian name of this stream and much
prettier name in every way, led to the
suggestion.

THE SCHOOL FUNDS LANDS

We commend to the legislature the suggestion made j,l ln o,lss4s3sh yesteEday $ c. McRae of Prescott that all the school lands of Arkansas be with drawn from sale until they can be carefully examined and classified and an accurate estimatea of the amount and character of timber on each legal subdivision made by com potent representatives of the state.
 Mr. McRae says the school fund can have no better investment than first class timber. He thinks the minimum price per acre gshould be raised from $1 .25 to $l0. Land that could not be sold at this higher price could be held for an advance in value.
 Both land in Arkansas and timber are constantly rising in value. Let the legislature be sure that the state is getting the most money possible from the timber lands that remain no be sold for the school fund.
 As Mir. McRae had a long service with the public lands committee of the National House of Representa- tives his advice on the matter should be especially valuable. Arkansas Gazette.

IN PROHIBITION STATES.

A bill having been presented to the House Judiciary committee pro viding that all liquors transported into state for consumption, sale or storage, shall be subject to the laws of the state, and promptly voted down, causes the Kansas City Times to sensibly remark:
 "The purpose of the bill is to assist in making prohibition prohibit. There may be trade reasons that is complications affecting Interstate Commerce that make this measure impracticable; but if it is feasible proposition it should carry. And another thing that the Federal gov ernment should do for the prohibi- saloon licenses in tRos5e thRff5se staate|.s ttat issue if there were no Federal saloon licenses in Kansas or Maine there would be mighty little liquor sold in them. The Federal government is in no sense bound to cooperate with a state in the matter of regulating or prohibiting the sale of liquor, but there is a moral obligation not to withhold help that would be very simple and very effective where a state has declared for prohibition. :"
 It has been found very hard to enforce state or county local option law, when the violators holds Fed eral license authoring him to sell.
