After Mexico or Japs.

Washington, August.-The State De. partment has taken up with Mexico the subject of immigration of Japanese coolies into the United States across the Mexican border. The practice of thus bringing in this undesirable and forbidden element has assumed alarm ing proportions, and the inspectors of the immigration service are being tax ed beyond their abilities to discover and turn back such Japanese. The basis for the representation of the State Department, or rather prece dent for it, was found in representa- tions made by the State Department to the Canadian government when
 Chinese o|ies Were swafming acros
 the border of British Columbia, i
 violation of our exclusion laws. O. that occasion the Canadian govern ment enacted laws imposing a heav
 head tax on Chinese entering tha country, which did much to mitigat
 the trouble, and it is believed tha
 Mexico will pursue a similar course.

A Prophecy as to Wheat.

Unquestionably those now living may see the time when In some years the United States will import wheat if a surplus can be found anywhere. As a rule, however we may expect to continue to export grain forever. The oldest and most densely popu- lated countries of the world continue to export grain, and while the world endures there will always be ex- changes of surpluses. As to our pro- duction we are probably nearing our maximum under present methods of cultivation. It is, however, easily pos sible to double our output by better methods of agriculture which we shall gradually adopt as increasing prices caused by the pressure of population warrant the increased outlay in pro- duction.

PROHIBITION REIGNS
Georgia Will Soon Join the List of
 Dry States.

Atlanta, Ga, August-The Hard man-Covington prohibition bill passed by the Georgia Senate some days ago was adopted by the house Tuesday evening by vote of 139 to 39. Two amendments added to the bill by the house will necessitate the bill going back to the Senate for concurrence, of which there is no doubt, and the bill will then go to Governor Hoke Smith for his signature, which has
 been practically pledged, and prohi- bition will become a law in Georgia. The amendments permit the sale of pure alcohol by retail druggists. on the prescription of a reputable physician, and also allow wholesale druggists to carry pure alcohol in stock for sale to retailers only.
 The bill prohibits the manufacture or keeping on hand in any place of business, the sale or giving away to induce business within the state, of any liquor that may produce intoxica- ton. The new law is to become ef- fective January 1, 1908.
 After the first fight on the bill last week, in which the opponents of the bill showed their ability to keep the act from it's third reading and which eliminated in a personal encounter on the floor of the house between two members at the end of 14-hour session, an agreement was reached making the bill a special order for Wednesday, with the provision that vote should be taken at o'clock. This program was carried out. Twenty-one amendments were offered, 13 of them by the prohibition forces. Only two were allowed, and both of these were introduced by the prohibitionists: The anti-prohibitionists made their hardest fight to secure the adoption of an amendment to postpone until January 1, 1909, the date when the bill should become effective. This was lost, 128 to 49. The bill as amended was put on the final vote at 6:45, which was completed 45 minutes later. few members taking the opportunity to ex- plain their votes.
