Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president
of the University of California, in
Leslie's Weekly: The regulation of
Oriental immigration cannot be
lightly dismissed by the American
people as an issue of sand-lot agi-
tation and the narrow self-protection
of labor unions California has Civ
en- the nation a world of trouble
over the matter, but it is not a
California question. Like forms of
protest and conflict have largely
emerged in Vancouver, in Seattle,
in San Francisco, in Valparaiso, in
Australia, and New Zealand. 1t is
not California question; it con-
Germs the whole Pacific rim; it is a
Pacific ocean question. AS an in
ternational concern the trouble is
only in its beginning. Japan re-
sents being classed as Oriental.
Some day China will advance to
speak for herself, and it is with her
that we ultimately in first line have
to deal. Much calmness and pa
thence and firmness will be in de-
mand, for these people are to be
our worthiest counterparts and near
est neighbors, and with them we
are TO snare the arena OF Cne great
ocean. In all their likeness to us
they claim our sound respect, and
we must live and deal with them
in peace: but let no man imagine
the chances of mutual respect and
common understanding and kindly
peace in any wise impaired by the
frank possession of many thirteen
inch guns.
It has been the fate of America
to assemble on its soil representativ-
es of all the discovered bloods and
faiths of half the world, and there
blend them in a common society to
universalized type of Occidental
man; and no wthe future seems to
promise it the long and final task of
setting the man of the west VIA
viz the man of the east, to the end
that the two world-halves may come
to know and understand each other,
and, so doing, may unite their wis
dom and their labors, though not
their bloods, for the fulfllment of
the meaning human.

he passed across the trackless wastes
his vibrant soul must have heard the
tread, made hollow in leaping spans
OF future time, of the uncounted null

footsteps. He was one of the pio-
neers who blazed a trail for the
mighty nation that was to follow.

What United Effort Can Do.

The New Era club of New Orleans is
being hailed as the banner womans club
of the south. In 1898 it secured from
the Louisiana constitutional convention
the right for taxpaying women to vote
on questions of local taxation. Later
when the question of a special tax levy
on improving the sewerage and for a
pure water supply for the city was to
be submitted to the voters, the New Era
carried on a campaign of education,
which resulted in securing the 5000 sig
natures necessary and the winning of the
election. Its next move was to get the
Legislature to appoint Miss Jean Cor
den factory inspector The club then
went to work and raised the money 10
pay the salary of a probation officer and
so made it possible to carry the juvenile
court law into effect BY tireless agi-
tation it has secured several important
sanitary reforms for prisoners waiting
trial before the criminal court, has OBJ
tanned an anti-expectorating ordinance
and is still working to have prison ma
irons appointed. Among the bills to
which the club now calls the attention
of the Legislature is one to enable a
wife to control her own wages. - Elk
