HUNGER REMEDY

O ANITA PAULA CHRONICLE says
- LOS Angeles Herald AYERS that
~ some day thinking Americans would
find out what would cure chronic hunger
and apply the remedy. Wonder if The
Herald would suggest a remedy
Willingly The remedy for chronic
hunger is regular meals-the square
kind preferred. The American citizens
who are complaining of hunger do not
care for soup kitchen victuals. They
want a chance to earn money with
which to buy food, raiment and shell
ter, all the days of their lives. After
all, people don't. as a rule, live very
long. AS Tiny Tim said in the story,
"God bless us every one," and may
every willing worker find employment
and the chance to earn a livelihood In
this land where there is more than
enough for all.

OF WORLD DWIDE INTEREST
JAPANESE EMIGRATION VIEWS
BY FREDERIC }. HAsKlN

people of Japan through the columns
of a magazine that this bill aimed to
confiscate the property of the Japanese
land owners in California. The sober
Journals pointed out the untruth of
this statement. but the two journals
reach different class.
The stinglng poverty of the people
in the throes of panic has quieted
the war talk of these radicals, and
many pens that wrote with vitriol a
year ago are silent before the oncom-
ing of the great American armada, but
the feeling is still there. The closest
students of the Japanese people are
inclined to think that this anti-Ameri-
can and anti-Canadian sentiment is
not directly resultant from the issues
raised by the emigration question, but
that it is only an expression of the
old, anti-foreign hatred which kept
Japan under lock and key for two
thousand years. 1t Is not to be ex-
pected that the habits of thought of
twenty centuries can be wiped out in
a few decades The smoldering embers
of this old anti-foreign feeling, fresh
ened by the victories of the war against
Russia, are yet alive and may be
famed into flame despite the efforts
of the governing class to keep them
covered up.
1t Is this sentiment which is behind
Japan's movement for an Asiatic Mon
roe doctrine. And 1t is this same SEN
timent which will rule In the event
that japan does come into predom-
nant influence in China. Then 1t would
possess what it now lacks--unlimited
natural resources and great wealth.
If 1t gets to that position, the goal of
the ambition of every Japanese, then
the old feeling of superiority to the
occidentals, the union of Japanese and
Chinese hatred for foreigners. the cyy
of ASIA for the Asiatics," will have
more force behind 1t than 1t has now,
falling from the lips of irresponsible
Toxic students.

OUT OF WORK

~ TATISTICS obtained by the Chi
- cago General Managers associa-
~ ton show that on seventeen rep
resentative railroads of the United
States, constituting one third of the
mileage of the country, the total num-
ber of employees is 1S per cent smaller
than on June 80, 1907. This means
that the number of idle employees is
possibly in the neighborhood of 345,00O
in this department of industry alone.
In the larger cities are many men who
are skilled in various branches of In
dustry, but without employment.
They can find nothing to do. Their
dinner pals are empty. They are will
ing to work They have responsible
tiles. because there are families depen-
dent on them. They have no money.
They cannot find work. What are they
going to do about it? The question
must be answered. The nation cam
not afford to leave any problem un-
solved. One after another great ques-
tions have been presented, requiring
wisdom and craftsmanship. But the
new economic question is, in many re-
spects, the greatest of all. In nearly
every other instance, the questions
that loomed gigantic until some brave
brain applied itself to the task of an
swering them were to great extent
sectional or class questions. Even the
question that divided the nation was of
this nature, otherwise there would
have been no such regularity of df-
vision. The questions that are now
clamoring for replies that will settle
them permanently are nationwide in
their area of influence. They affect
every part of the country, and are not
sectional. The status of employer, en-
ployed and unemployed, the distribu-
money in circulation, ip order that in
dustries may be financed and that in
dustrious workers may have the op-
portunity of using their right to work,
closer study of cause and effect in
national economies, or, if that should
be unnecessary, a more conscientious
application of the laws of cause and
effect, and to sum up, obedience to law,
divine, natural and human, are all
matters with which the thought, intel
lect and experience of the United
States will be earnestly engaged. 1t
is certain that the presidential election
will be fought largely upon social
economic lines, because the subjects
that pertain to social economics are
clamoring for discussion and settle
ment When we think of the work
that Is before the nation during the
next few years, it seems absurd that
any man with brains in his head would
have the slightest hesitation in sup
porting a Democratic candidate, and,
by preference, Mr.. Bryan. Party pref
udice will have to give way to ma
tional need. Nero fiddled while Rome
was burning. but in our opinion Nero
was a reprehensible character, and his
example was shockingly bad and
should be Stunned and not followed by
the American nation. Burning ques-
tions confront the country. Nobody
can afford to fiddle, even though he
plays an old tune on an old fiddle.
Fiddling and fads must give place to
serious recognition of the nations new

BEST GOVERNMENT
WITH the British government sud-
wv denly disjointed by the resigna-

MYTH the British government sud-
wv denly disjointed by the resigna-
tion of Campbell -Bannerman and
with Clemenceau in trouble in France,
we may be excused if we utter a con-
gratulatory hurrah over the superior
ity of the American governmental sys-
tenn, which, as we have remarked
servative than the British. Every now
and again the Britons run wild. Every
thing in their country seems to be at
skies and seVens. Then out of chaos
comes something resembling order and
the land joys or bumps along for
year or two. But there is nothing per-
manent about a British government.
The ministry might be "out' next
week, and the prime minister and cabi-
net hunting votes. Some people think
that the presidential term is too short
for modern needs, but at any rate it
gives US four years assurance of a
reasonable amount of stability based
on the belief that a certain definite
policy will be carried out. The hap
hazard government of the United
Kingdom, without written constitution
and without chief executive, is nothing
more nor less than a highly superior
kind of anarchy. 1t is not at all sur
prising that Socialism should be maxi
ing great gains in the British islands.
How two such conflicting elements as
"aristocracy" and "radicalism" can
boil in the same / ot without boiling
over would be the greatest puzzle on
earth, if there were not a greater,
namely, the cohesion of that vast, ire
sponsible, unrelated mass of man and
matter called the British empire. The
American system of government is
easily the best in the world.

For all who are identified, how many
