Asiatic lmmirrnfion Acain.

HSloAiN ihiullgI dLlOn again.
That the question of Asiatic immigration
will not down is amply indicated by the
letter written by President Roosevelt to
a friend IN California. which sets forth the
fact that he has been writing sharply to
Japan about the matter Our Northern
neighbor, Canada, is also having her trou-
bles and dissausfactions about the in
creasing hordes of Asiatic immigrants
She hats Just issued an order in council.

this order is enforced. it will. Of course.
shut out not only the Chinese and Japa-
nese,but also the Hindoos. increasing num-
bers of which had added to Canada's
governmental burdens. TWO hundred
dollars is fortune 20 most Of the Asiatics
OF the class that emigrate. and Canada's
order puts the immigrants somewhat in
the position of that Georgia cracker
who wrote North for an estimate on a
sawmiIl. which he thought might be prof
table in his timber. The lowest price
quoted was $500, whereupon the cracker"
replied: IF had $500. what In the devil
do you think I'd want sawmin for?'
And so with the Asiatics; n they had
500, they'd stay at home and be capital
lists
1t is evident that the settlement which
the Dominion government sought to make
with the Japanese and Chinese govern
ments does not settle though it is prob
able that partisan politics entering less
into the problem up there than It does in
our own country. the Canadians made a
genuine effort 10 solve the question.
Canada sent representatives to Japan
to see what could be done to restrict
emigration from that country. and an
agreement was reached that Japan
should discourage its people. and would
see that only restricted number took
up their residences in Canada each year
But the stream has not been appreciably
checked in spite Of this agreement. and
Japan is being scolded by both the Cana
dian government and press.
We also have an agreement with Japan
by which only those immigrants are ad-
mitted who are provided with passports
by their home government But il seems
that this plan does not provide a sufi-
cient check. for so soon as an immigrant
has safely landed he promptly mails his
passport back TO Japan, and II Is used as
a ticket Of admission for another immi-
grant.
Fortunately, the question is a compara-
lively simple one and nonpartisan. It is
quite plain that we are we'll within our
rights In cbjec.ing TO our land being over
run by Asiatics; and since II IS becoming
patent that Asia Is regarding the United
States as a happy dumping-ground for
her undesirables. IL is time that, without
any uncertainty. we should stop it alto
gether II il not question of a yellow
peril" but It is a question of a yellow
annoyance shat we can obviate at once
If we only have the courage Of our con-

There exists u condition among the
beef cattle interest at the present time
without precedent in the history Of the
cattle business in this state. The
extreme shortage of fat beef cattle which
now is the center Of all stock troubles
throughout the land. is remarkable in
several particulars. Beef is bringing
as high As 3 cents on hoof in Chicago
today, something unprecedented in the
history of the cattle industry. The
explanation of this serious situation MS
given out is that it is the outcome of the
continued drought which prevailed
through such n long period since last
winter, the great need of rains being
felt over the entire cattle raising ter
ritory, covering many states Last
week 1000 head of beef cattle in one
