hhTI-JAPANESE
FEELINGS WAVES

no question that there has been great
influx of japanese within the past few
years. Many of them have leased lands
in the state, coming into direct com.
petition with the white farmers-Jap,
anese competition, and therefore not
nice. The labor in the sugar beet fields
is almost exclusively in their hands.
There is no one else to do it. They
have settled largely in the cities, there
by coming into direct conflict with the
strong forces of organized labor.
All this has resulted in the working
up of strong anti-Japanese sentiment,
which is thoroughly organized. 1t is
even better organized than was the
anti-Chinese sentiment of the Kearney
days. The Japanese, unlike the Chi
nese, is an aggressive fighter for his
place. But, / need not tell the island
people. They Know. Nevertheless, and
in spite of the anti-Japauese agitation
and organization, and in spite of Rich
mond Pearson Hobson, California goes
for Taft.
That, as 1 have said, is in part be-
cause California and the Pacific Coast
states have confidence in Taft-the
whole coast following California 8 lead,
with the single exception of Nevada,
which is a personal appanage of the
Sharon family. But, away down in the
hearts of the California people, and of
the Pacific Coast people, there is anoth-
er reason for this strange thing.
The Pacific Coasters are not any less
hostile to Asiaties, Asiatic morals and
labon systems, than they have always
been. theoretically, the anti-Japanese
sentiment is as strong as the anti-Chin-
csc sentiment ever was. You viii find
no public man, in California, at least,
who will speak a word, openly, in favor
of Asiatie immigration of any kind.
You will find few private individuals,
even, willing to be quoted.
But, get the public man or the pri-
vate citizen off by himself, and in
mood to talk as he really thinks. Then
rou wiz hear things. The fact of the

matter is that the pockets of the Cali
fornian of today are bulging-not with
the products of the mines so much-a
man of any race or color can 90 to the
mines and pick up dust-as with the
products of fat farms and orchards.
Now, man whose pockets are heavy
does not exactly relish harvesting his
own lima beans, or sugar beets. or
picking the oranges off his own trees,
or gathering the English walnuts from
the ground after they have been shaken
down. He is apt to be too busy talk
ing politics, or releasing mortgages, or
signing his name to checks, or settling
the various concerns of the country.
Besides, big farmer cannot do all the
work on his place. The thing is phys.
ieally impossible.
And so he must have labor. Now.
all the other white men in the coun-
try are busy, just as he is. The chill
dren can pick fruit, of course, but on
the whole it is perhaps more import
ant to keep them in school. And the
farmer and the orchardist with the
bullying pockets must take labor where
he can find it. He does not like to
take japanese labor any more than
the people of the Islands do. But it
is here, to his hand

NO OCCASION
FOR AGITATION

A leading topic at present is the
wage question. The japanese papers
argue that the wages of Japanese Ia
borers should be increased to as much
as those allowed to white laborers.
japanese laborers are given $ls at the
lowest, while their white confreres get
upwards of $22.50. The main point
of the contention advanced by the pa
pers seems to be that Japanese labor
ers shall be paid upwards of $40. But
payroll which Mr.. Nakamura was
able to examine showed the fact that
there were few Japanese who were
paid $1S and most of them enjoyed
wages upwards of $40. Thus, there is
little use. in Mr.. Nakamura s opinion,
to claim drastic reform in japanese
wages.
What is now troubling the brains
of leading men having interests in the
Islands is that almost the whole econ
omy of the Islands is governed by a
single industry-sugar This economic
condition is very liable to be disturb
ed easily and suddenly. To prevent
the danger, the industries of the Is
lands must be diversified. So that en-
enlargement is now given to such in
dustries as pineapples, tobacco and
coffee.

Chicago Record Herald Sir. Tafts
open note OF warning tn Speaker Can
non and other obstructionis,s that
they must discontinue their dilatory
methods or have tight with the new
administration Is the topic OF CONVEX
sation in Washington today.
TO say that the friends of Mr.. Can
non are amazed az Mr.. Taft's course
is putting it mildly. They are simply
dumfcunded. Till today they would
not believe that Mr.. Taft had so much
lighting blood in him. The authentic
statement made in these and other
dispatches about the failure OF jim
Sherman's peace mission TO Ho,
Springs had not prepared them for the
bolt from the blue which fell yester-
day. They knew Shermans little
scheme for peace and quiet and an
era OF good feeling and do-nothingism
had not succeeded. but they did not
dream Mr. Taft would have the cour
age 10 appea! 10 the people and make
a public statement OF his intention 10
have his pledges redeemed or fight.
They still hoped that in some way or
other the matter could be adjusted
without the public becoming aware OF
the truth.
Now comes the authorized announce
ment from Mr. Taft made by Repre-
sentative Burton. OF Ohio. al Hot
Springs, that the new president is pre-
pared TO fight for such reorganization
OF the house OF representatives. as will
insure the redemption OF his campaign
pledges 10 the people. Ii is well
understood that Mr. Burton made this
statement deliberately after consulta-
ton with the presidenteleCt. Nor does
anyone misunderstood its significance.
Ii means that Mr. Cannon must give
some proof OF his willingness 10 keep
step with the advanced and progress
sive Republicanism which the Taft ad-
ministration is 10 stand for or suffer
the consequences. Among the conse-
cuences would be on effort 10 defeat
him for the speakership, with Mr.
Burton OF Ohio as his rival Some OF
10 believe that he IS ready TO fight
They say he has already intrencheG
himself by securing pledges Of sup
port from majority OF the members
of the new house and that he will be
here on Wednesday 10 take personal
charge Of his interests. These friends
predict that Uncle Joe will come back
ar Mr.. Taft with bugle blast OF de-
fiance and warning 10 the incoming
president that he must not attempt TO
dictate 10 the legislative branch OF
the government
Others and perhaps the majority be-
lieve that in the end Mr.. Cannon will
surrender He may go through the
form OF issuing note of defiance
which will serve TO protect his posi-
ton and his pride till he can look the
field over But In the end. they are
inclined TO think, he will contrive TO
make peace by giving pledge OF good
conduct.

NOTIFICATION OF BRYAN.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 12.-Mr. Bryan's
town, as the city of Lincoln has come
to be known throughout the country,
held high jubilee today on the occa.
sion of the formal notification of the
distinguished Nebraskan of his third
nomination for the presidency of the
United States on the Democratic tick.
ct Visitors from many parts of the
country Joined with the citizens of
Lincoln in making the event a mem.
orable one.
Though the ceremonies of the day
were not to be held until well along
in the afternoon. the city was astir
at an early hour and many features
of the days program were carried out
during the morning. At sunrise the
city was awakened by an artillery
salute of forty-six guns by Colonel
Malone's Battery. Before nine o'clock
the downtown streets were well filed
and the people began to congregate
about the grounds of the State capitol.
where the notification ceremonies
were to take place.
The arrival OF many noted Demo.
cratic leaders and a number of march
ing clubs, some of them accompanied
by bands, afforded diversion for the
crowds during the forenoon Special
trains brought to the city delegations
of visitors from points throughout Ne
braska and from Missouri, Kansas,

evident that the crowd was to be one
of the largest ever entertained in Lin.

THE SAN ANTONIO CONVENTION.

As was predicted by the Eagle last
week, the Submissionists had a work
ing majority in the State Democratic
convention. One correspondent spoke
of It as "a brutal majority. They had
the numbers, and If they had been
united could have had whatever they
wanted. BY some means their con-
vention majority was out of all pro-
portion to their vote in the plebiscite,
some strong anti-submission districts
being represented by not only Sub
missionlsts, but Prohibitionists.
The Submissionists organized the
convention, electing Hon. c. f. Green
wood, of Hillsboro, temporary chair
man. In his keynote speech, Judge
Greenwood counselled harmony, for
the sake of which he objected to any
platform declaration, either for or
against prohibition, adding: Then
we can differ among ourselves as
Democrats upon that question, as we
always have done, and not have our
party loyalty brought into question"
BY some means, the Ants secured
majority of the committee on reso-
lutions, which gave them distinct
advantage. This committee appointed
subcommittee, which unanimously
brought in a report demanding the
submission of the prohibition question
to vote of the people, but declaring
that it is to be in no sense a party
question; that is, that the Democratic
party refuses to commit itself to one
or the other side of the issue.
An effort was made to inject the
Bailey question, but the Pros tried
hard to keep it out.
On the whole, it is almost certain
that the people of Texas will have a
chance to vote on Statewide prohi-
bition some time next year, but there
will be no plank in the platform de-
claring either for it or against it,

Decent people by common consent
ceplore the vftuperation and bitter
ness in recent political campaigns
and some who remember the cleaner

the last generation point to the
change as an evidence that the world
is growing worse. There is another
reason: In the good old times, when
Southern chivalry was in flower. he
who made a slanderous statement
about an opponent did so at the peril
of his life. Duelling was a relic of

animation was held today to fill the

that the position pays $1,000 year,
there was no ever-abundance of APP
plicants for the job. The reason per
haps lies in the fact that the success
full applicant must be possessed of a
fund of knowledge that would enable
him to hold down a chief clerkship in
almost any of the departments and
render it unnecessary for him to don

stuffs, supervise and direct the corps

izing food which might otherwise be
