is no possible show for the ordinary
white laborer The Chronicle is maxi
ing brave fight for the white man,
and this is greatly appreciated by al
most everybody
Our correspondent does not work
for wages; he is a merchant. His
letter shows him to be an intelligent
nan, and he tells the truth. The
place from which he writes seems to
be still in the first stages of the JAP
anese invasion 1T has to deal with
the Japanese as laborer and very
unsatisfactory laborer he is. And he
is not cheap But the other stages
follow as certainly as night follows
day Where the white laborer cannot
come the white employer cannot long
stay. Great orchards owned BIZ alb
sentee landlords may be operated, per-
haps for long time, by Asiatic labor.
But that does not make country for
white man to live in. Whenever q
foundation of Japanese coolie labor
is laid superstructure of Japanese
tradesmen and Japanese employers is
absolutely certain to rise. And they
make community of Japanese Gus
toms, and Japanese morals. There
are certain critics Of our position who
are so contemplate as to sneer at us
as those confessing our inferiority to
the Japanese. We have no objection
whatever to the Japanese taking that
attitude. We do not care what they
think or what they say, SO long as
they will stay away from here. But
it is a despicable thing for an Amer
lean to say or imply. When the pres
ldent, in his message, spoke of mutt
terings' against the Japanese because
OF their efficiency as laborers," he
said what, coming from him, makes
the blood of decent Americans boil.
An American laborer, born in this
country OF American or foreign par
entage, will accomplish as much on
farm as two average Japanese, TAX
ing the years labor through. But
he will not, if he has tie self-respect
OF most of them, live as the Japanese
live. Nor, with all his sins, will he
sink to Japanese standards of NOR
ality. In the trades, while the Japa-
nese is greatly inferior to the white
man, the disparity is not SO great as
on the farm with its all round work
and requirements of adaptability. Bnt
he will work-for himself or his coun-
trymen-for longer hours than the
white man will work. He will live
in ways which no decent white man
will endure. He seldom, in this coun-
try, burdens himself with family.
If he does every soul of them earns
his living. AS renter he will ruin
a farm or house quicker than any
ether human being. Therefore he
can, and if necessary does, turn out
n product at a price which will not
maintain a man or a family In the
American standard OF comfort, and
he soon creates a community In which
no white man will willingly stay. And
that Is why we do not want them. We
shall make an issue on IL and fight
the Issue We appeal for The support
OF men and women In an walks OF
life, We DO not wish to see il made

.ROOSEVELT'S POSITION
 IS VERY PECULIAR
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)


 Singurlarly enough, however, while President Roosevelt believes that the people of Porto Rico should have a larger measure of self.government than they now have, it is reported from Washington that he does not believe that the people of Alaska should have any measure of local self-goverument al all. The Porto Ricans have had their sole experience in democracy sirce the Spanish war. The people of Alaska are, in the great mass, Ameri' cans who have always exercised the privilege of Self-governing citizenship up to the time of their migration to Alaska, to conquer Q new empire for the country,
 IL is quite difficult to understand what constitutes the substantial objec- tiou to seli-gOvernment in Alaska, which overrides principle and prece- dent and sets apart the pioneers of tt at great territory as incapable of excer- csing priveieges, or rather rights, which are freely accorded all other people who are under the protection of the American flag, save those of Guam and Tutuila alone.

Prices on Range Cattle Going Up.

John Norton. the largest cattle
feeder in the Salt River valley, and
Dwight B. Heard, manager of the
Bartlett-Heard ranches, arrived in
Jerome.
They are securing the country for
feeders, and reported that they had
not been as successful as they expect
ed, as some one had slipped in ahead
of them and had purchased several
punches that they had figured upon.
However, to date they have con-
tracted for about thousand head of
two and three year old steers for the
May and June delivery. This stock
all comes from the Mayer, Aqua Fria
and Cherry Greek districts.
These gentlemen were travelling in
a two-horse rig, but they were also
provided with a couple of saddle
horses, and are making q thorough
search for feeders. They offered S16,
S19 and S23 for one, two and threes
and up for breeders to local stockmen,
but were unable to secure anything
in the Verde valley north of Aultman
1t is very apparent that the price
of cattle has gone up in sympathy
with sheep and hogs, and the local
butchers will probably not be able to
buy beef anywhere near the price
paid in 1905 and 1906 for a long time
to come.

Millions are Starving in Russia.

DIR. Kennard, commissioner of the
Society of Friends sent to investigate
the Russian famine, writing from
Samara in the heart OF the famine
district under date of April 3, appeals
to the United States and Great Bri-
tain to promptly send help.
He says: "Twenty million people
are distributed in the Southern prov
inces of Russia, who are without aid,
and cannot live to see another har-
vest"
In Samara alone 10000 people are
dying and 100000 are starving. OF
the latter only $4,000 are getting the
relief of one meal in twenty-four
hours. AS the meal consists of only
two pounds of bread and a bowl of
soup it means that even the "reliev-
ed" are dying by degrees.
The mystery surrounding the death
of George Welch, the Pinto creek
miner who was thought to have been
accidentally killed, is deeper than
ever. Sheriff Thompson of Globe re-
turned from the Pinto country after
an attempt to secure evidence which
would either clear or convict Clinton
Rapier and Albert Carkeet, who are
in Jail on suspicion of having some
connection with the murder. He re-
ported that his quest was failure
in some respects, but that he had Sc
cured some clues, which, could they
be followed up, might result in estab-
fishing the actual facts of the kill
ing. There is hardly a doubt that
Welch was killed by the hand of ano-
ther, as every circumstance points to
that conclusion, or whether he was
killed with homicidal intent or acci-
dentally remains to be established. .
Sheriff Thompson is of the opinion
that Carkeet killed Welch while he
was trying to take the gun away from
Welch and fearing the results made
it appear that the man had commit
ted suicide. Rapier, it is believed
will prove a strong alibi. No time
for arraignment for either man has
heen set

Bic Power Plant for Kingman.

1t is reported that orders for near
ly all of the machinery required for
the Desert Power and Water Com
pany's electric power plant at King
man, Arizona, have been placed and
that construction will be buried to
completion.
AS originally planned, this plant
was to be of 1,5OO kilowats. 1t has
been determine d, however, to build
the first unit of 900 kilowats and to
add to this as demand for power may
justify. The Gold Road mine will be
supplied with power by a transmits
sion line from Kingman, which town
will be lighted by the company.
Transmission lines will later be ex-
tended to Chloride, Cerbat, Stockton
Hill and other mining sections.
The fuel used will be oil, which can
be cheaply delivered at Kingman.
Mr.. F. E. Monteverde, Jr., president
of the company, reports that there is
good prospective demand for power
in the territory to be served.
