The Paducah evening sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1906-1929, 1907-01-31

We are promised vote on the
tiresome Smoot question in the Unit
ed States senate February 20. There
is deal of politics and a deal Of re-
ligious prejudice mixed in the case,
and the real merits are not known
outside the senate committee rooms.
Fortunately, the political prejudice
involved will offset the religious pref
udice, and thus justice may be done
the senator from Utah and the peo-
pie. Charges were preferred against
Smoot, that his obligations as an
apostle in the Mormon church dis
qualities him to perform the duties
of a public official under the consti-
tuition and laws Of the United States.
While, it is not charged that he lives
in polygamous relation, it is claimed
by his prosecutors that the church
winks at, IL It does not encourage,
the practice of polygamy This is de-
MED, and the question becomes rath-
er technical. 1t does appear from the
outside that the Mormon church ex-
ercises undue influence in elections,
wherever the church predominates,
but whether the church's influence,
and Reed Shoots relations to the
church are such as to disqualify MIN,
Is a question that most newspapers
and people will decide according to
their political bent, and the intoler-
ance of their religious belief.

JAPs IN CALIFORNIA.
Why the Whites Object SO Strongly
TO the Little Brown Men.

The Japanese coolie whoc mes to
California, for the most part, is not
an unskilled laborer. He is a cobbler,
tailor gardener. cook, waiter, or one
or other of a dozen classes of work
men. as the case may be. He can,
and does live just as cheaply as the
Chinaman A handful of rice, a lit
tie dried fish and cup Of tea make
a square meal for him. And we feel
convinced that If he be allowed to
come to these scores IN undimiDish-
ed numbers he will ultimately drive

out all Caucasian competition in
every occupation which he enters,
just as tn Chinese coolie did
quarter of century ago. He has al
ready driven the cnerry orchardist
out of the productive Vaca Valley,
about sixty miles north of San Fran
cisco. But it is in the latter city that
he is the greatest menace. To speak
specifically, let us take the case of a
Icobbler. He has learned his trade
in his own country. He has scarcely
set foot in that city, wnen he rents
dingy little room in close proximity
to white shoemaker who has been
established in that location for many
years. Then the little brown man
puts up his, sign and announces his
scale of prices. A perusal of the lat
ter shows that he asks about one
half the amount charged by his white
nelghbor for similar work. Gradu
ally his business increases, while that
of his white neighbor diminishes,

trying If you please. to give his child
rem the benefit of a good education,
finds that he has been brought face
to face with an alien competitor whose
material wants are few, and who can
|subsist on fare on which a Caucasian
would starve. He tries to stand it
for a while, but sooner or later, when
he sees the blanched faces of his lit
tie ones, when he begins to realize
that he cannot provide for them as
has been mis- wont, the iron enters
his soul. He begins to understand
that this unequal competition means
that he must come down to the Jap
aneses standard of living or he must
quit the neighbornood in which he
has been established these many years
to begin anew the struggle for ex-
istence in some other section which
the little brown man has not as yet
invaded.
/ have not overdrawn thu picture.
1t has its counterpart in practically
every street in San Francisco. It is
such conditions that ultimately lead
to bloodshed and race riot. We want,
by all means. to avoid anything of
that kind. We are peaceable, law
abiding citizens, but we want the
japanese coolie kept out OF our State.
Nor do we think we are unreasonable
in our demand. If similar conditions
confronted the citizens of Massachut-
etts. we feel confident that they, too,
would feel as we do. The Japanese
in his native land is great fisher
man. Suppose 10000 of these Jap
anese fishermen should settle near
Gloucester and embark in the cod
fishing industry. Would the Glouces
ter fishermen stand for it with equan-
unity, or would they, like their breth
rem in California, raise their voices
in indignant protest? And so with
every other community and every
other class of workmen.

FARMERS HAVE
ANOTHER KICK
SAY THEY ARE COMPELLED TO
HELP UNLOAD WHEAT TO
AVOID DELAYS.

'In the storage controversy between
the warehousemen and farmers l no.
tice that the warehouses give as one
reason for advancing the rates that
the rate of wages paid employees in the
houses has been materially advanced
said an Eureka fiat farmer yesterday,
discussing the situation. There is
one phase of the controversy that, so
has been overlooked, and that is. while
the warehouses may be paying higher
scale of wages than they have in the
past, in many instances, the farmers.
in addition to paying the warehouse
companies the regular scale for handl-
ing their grain, actually bear the big
gest part of the expense IN getting it
into the houses.
Perhaps the farmers have not
thought of this but it is a fact never
theless. In my own case for instance,
l put my hands to work hauling grain.
to the warehouses. Perhaps the ware
house company has only two, or say
three. men at work in the house. The
wagons, loaded with wheat, roll up to
the house. What is the result. 1 am
anxious that my teams make as many
trips as possible in a day and in order
to do this, my men, rather than wait
for hours to get their wheat unloaded,
help the warehouse employees stack the
sacks and l have known Instances
where my men actually trucked the
wheat from the wagon and stacked it..
l am paying the warehouse people so
or IS cents a ton for doing this yet
my men, working on my time, in many
instances are actually doing the work
AS far as l am able to ascertain, there
are few of the warehouses that en-
ploy more than three or four men,
during the heighth of the wheat haul
ing season. Of course as long as the
farmers continue to help put a large
bulk of their wheat in the warehouses
in order to avoid delay, it is not likely
that the warehousemen are going to
employ any more men than they do at
present. In my opinion the farmers
might do a little profitable thinking
on this Suhiact"

STRANGE FIND NEAR SPOKANE
FARMER DISCOVERS AN INDIAN
BURYING GROUND IN BED OF
PERPETUAL ICE.

Near Waikiki, the country home of
Jay P. Graves, on the Little Spokane
river, there exists perpetual body of
ice underneath the soil, which is be-
lieved by those who have made recent
Investigations to have been used by the
Indians as a mausoleum for their de-
parted chiefs.
A farmer named Peterson, whose es-
tate adjoins Waikiki, discovered this
large body of ice under a covering of
sand and gravel, on his farm, during
the heated term of last summer. News
of the discovery Of this phenomenon
| spread among the inhabitants of the
| region, who made frequents trips to
the ice bank, carrying away blocks
| Of the CONCEALED mass for use in their
refrigerators, and this practice, it is
said, has been continued this year.
A short time ago those who have
drawn upon natures StorehOuse for
their supply of ice made another dis
covery. In cutting away the ice pOr-
tons of Indian blankets and rough
mating of Indian manufacture We're
found imbedded in the glacial forma-

Upon making this discovery, the use
of ice for domestic purposes was alb

store was carefully put back. pending

be made as soon as crops are harvested

THE EXECUTIVE WILL GIVE A

ABOUT AUGUST IA.

Governor Carter visited his Office in
the Executive Building at $3.50 o'clock
this morning and spent about an hour
receiving various visitors who called
to pay their respects. Most of these
were heads of the various departments
and the calls were all brief and of pure
ly social character.
Judge Frear, the new incumbent of
the Gubernatorial chair, who will sue
ceed Governor Carter on the fifteenth
of August, was one of the first callers
and spent about ten minutes in the pri-
vate office. Deputy Attorney General
Prosser, High Sheriff Henry and Land
Commissioner Pratt were among 9TH
ers who called
Governor Carter was looking well,
and expressed himself as much pleased
to be back to Honolulu again. In
reference to his trip to Washington ne
stated that he was much pleased with
the standing which the Territory has
in the national capital and is confident
that the affairs of the islands will be
better looked after in the future than
ever before. The placing of all Hawaii
an affairs in the hands of the Depart
ment of the Interior, he stated he be-
lieved would be a great improvement
and greatly facilitate the intercourse
between the Territory and the Federal
government.
The principal thing which seems TO
be on the Governors mind is the mat
ter of the Federal building site On
this he appears to think his attitude
is not properly understood by the peo-
pie of Honolulu, and he has therefore
prepared a statement for the press re-
garding the matter.
In honor of the returning Chief Ex-
ecutive the Robins Egg Blue chamber
has been tastefully decorated with gar
lands of MALE and red carnations, and
presented quite a festive appearance.
This was the work of his private Office
force.
1t was stated this morning that the
governor expected to mark his retire
ment from public Office by giving an
elaborate ball in the throne room of
the capitol on the evening of the 14th
of August in honor of his successor,
Judge Frear, who will be inaugurated
the day following. This event will be
one of the most important social and

as in other parts of the United States
for the women of the Salvation Army
to visit bar rooms for the purpose OF

In this occupation they have almost
universally been accorded the greatest
respect. Captain Bradley, however,
promised to see that the law was not
violated, and as a result the Salvation
Army lassies in saloons will be a thing
of the past as far as Honolulu is CON
