the rich men Ct the South were re-

In that part OF the country, so the
rich men Of this country are responsible
for the presence of the Japanese ir
the states Of the Pacific Coast. Many
of the rich ranchmen who are re-
sponsible for the Importation Of the
Jap to this country are foreigners. and
appear to have no regard for the
interests Of native Americans. With

ing, at an average width Of twenty-five
miles, sixty miles up the San Joaquin
valley, much Of which in the long ago
was obtained for mere trifle, but is
now being sold, principally to foreigners
OF an undesirable kind, for from SIS
to $500 per acre. In California,
Oregon and Washington this same
foreigner owns IA 100000 acres Of
the best land in these states, much Of
which, it is alleged, came into his
possession BY very questionable means.
And now Mr.. Editor, in conclusion,
allow me to suggest that at your
leisure you whisper in the ear Of our
great and noble President that this is
the real cause Of the race trouble in
California. And, furthermore, you
may say to him, that for one, | am
glad the fight is on. 1t will be settled
by and by in the right way, and when
settled the native Californian will
have broader and more conservative
views Of the many peoples with which
our common Father has filled the
earth, and perhaps their bad feeling
toward the Southern states for their
treatment Of the negro will be con-
|verted into one Of patience anc
sympathy.

FROM CALIFORNIA.
Correspondent tells Of
the Trouble with the
Japs. Interesting
Account Of the
Cause.

G. r. Harrison, Presbyterian preach
er, and published In the last issue Of the
Church paper at Nashville, Tenn. 2
very interesting account Of the cause
Of the trouble between the American
and japanese on the Pacific coast Is
given: 1t is as follows:
The native Californian cannot under
stand why the fastener OF the tender
foot. as he is here called, declines to
take part in the civil crusade against
the Japanese laborers, who in great
numbers are filling up the country all
along the Pacific Coast. AS seen
from the "tendcfoots point OF view.
there are two reasons for this seeming
lack Of interest In So great, though
purely local question. First, the pru-
dent newcomer and the prospective
permanent settler does not care to be
drawn into local labor scrap imn1e
diately on his arrival. Hence, for the
time. he wisely stands aloof. Second.
and mainly. he is not here long till he
discovers that the few rich, the few
who control the affairs Of this country,
are responsible for the state OF things
as they now exist. The laps have
been induced to come to this country
10 be used In competition with the
American laborer by these same few
who are In control. II Is repetition
OF the Southern slave business, only
the Jap is not sold into slavery as was
the African. He is a good worker
and costs but little compared with
what the American must have. His
food amounts to nothing. and he is
willing TO sleep In the barn or field
With the cows; but the American will
not, and that is the reason some Of
the American land-grabbers prefer
him 10 the decent. upright American,
and that is one reason. at least. why

as some CT cur esteemed Eastern
friends have supposed. Butitis rather
a question Of labor. or q fierce con-
troversy between labor and capital.
WITH III. Jap as the exciting cause.
Thus the Jap becomes the innocent
victim Of the American labor hate to
both foreign and American capitalists.
For the same reason the poor white
man Of the Southern states dislikes
the negro. the American laborer Of

ELEVATORS OVERLOAD CARS
Scarcity Of Cars Results in Peculiar

Scarcity Of Cars Results in Peculiar
condition-Stringent Orders Issued.
Because cars have been scarce. and
not always obtainable when wanted.
at least some OF the elevators along
the line Of the Iowa Central north of
this city have been loading such cars
as they were able to secure far beyond
their capacity. This overlooking, it is
said, has been the cause Of two serious
delays in traffic this week, and as re-
suit orders have been issued to weigh
all grain here This has been done
during the past twenty-four hours, and
fully one-half Of the cars have been
found to be loaded far beyond their
carrying capacity. These cars that
are overloaded are held here and a
part Of the contents Is transferred be-
fore the car is allowed to proceed. The
weighing and transferring causes de-
lay and piles up cost for the payer Of
the freight charges.
There is rule of the railroads
which allows the loading Of cars with
grain up to 10 per cent beyond their
capacity, but since cars have become
scarce, some Of the elevators have been
running into the cars practically all
the grain they could hold.

MEETING POSTPONED

poned on Account Of Il. I. r. League
Meeting.
BY referendum vote the associations
of the Iowa State League have unan-
imously consented to postponement
Of the annual meeting Of the Iowa
State League from January % to jan
uary %, at Ottumwa. The purpose OF
the postponement was to not have the
league meeting until after the K. !. T.
League meets, on January ~.
At the meeting of that league, Jack
sonville will probably be released and
free to join the Iowa circuit, IL it Is
disposed to do so, which seems likely
Advices from Jacksonville, however,
now set up the claim that Jackson
vile is already released without any
formal action Of the league, because
the president neglected to call meet

Its constitution when he should have
done SO. which was a week or more
ago.

From the windows OF a Story City

If they could handle the grain. Mr..
Norton, at Gearing, has his entire ca

were unloading in the driveway, be-

At McCallsburg the elevator has
