THE YELLOW RACE TROUBLE.

THE YELLOW RACE TROUBLE.
The States of the Pacific slope are
facing the problem of the yellow race as
the States south of Mason and Dixon
line, are confronted with the African
There has been and there is being
wasted great deal Of sentiment over
the Chinese and especially the Japanese.
As rule this misdirected sympathy is
from New York and the commercial
centers whose patriotism is measured by
the dollar
1t is true the Japanese won great re-
nown i'll their victory over Russia and
had the sympathy of the civilized world
in their struggle with their enemy who
at the beginning was in the attitude of
ferocious bulldog. but the Japanese
must not presume too much on the
seemingly conservative temper of the
Americans, nor should the Japanese at
tempt to force themselves where they
are not desired, especially in California
and other States of the Pacific
If commercialism has mininmzed the
danger threatening from this yellow
race problem. patriotism must and will
insist on its solution, which shall be a
guarantee of supremacy to the Caucas-
ian race

NEGROES ASSAULTING WOMEN
What kind of white men are the men
who are classified as citizens Of Pitts
burg, Pennsylvania?
Almost daily there have come from
Pittsburg. Pa the horrifying statement
Of one or more white women being as
saulted by negroes who have eluded ar
rest
From the same city it has been All
nounced by telegraph that the white
women are arrnlng themselves for pro-
lection in resisting these assaults by
negroes.
There have been several demonstra-
tons by the police. whose efforts have
been limited to the arrest of several
hundred negroes, who have been speed
ily released, as they were not identified
by their victims
And there has been given from the
same city the information that men
tcitizensl have armed thcmselrc, and
positively threaten To kill the first ne
gro caught molestng white woman.
Such declaration IS ldiotic and IS a
reflection Of discredit on men Of the
Caucasian race.
And we are told that "a race war IS
imminent and that the negroes are
armed and ready to meet the whites.
TO the white men of the South all
this seems strange, but this nsolence
of the negro, these outrages by negroes
follow, as an outeropping of the exam
pies and the teachings of Republicans at
the North who have been prating of
social equality and their great love for
the Colored Brother.
What is there, which is human. which
should be held more sacred than viz
tsous woman. and who. when assaulted,
especially by negro. appeals, if silent
y. to the resentment of every man flav-
iak in his veins the least particle of the
blood of man?
Are the citizens of Pittsburg. Pa,
men, or are they SO engrossed in their
admiration and love for the negro that
they will suffer, under a coward1y pro-
test, these assaults upon their women?
We of the South who understand AMI
know the negro, treat him fairly Un-
like the men of the North, we do not
5do1ize him, but hold him to a strict ac-
eOuntability for such crime as an as
sault upon woman.
The penalty for such a crime is death.
II may be by lynching or it may be by
4sasning at the stake, but death is as GER
lain as it is everlasting
In the South such assaults as have
seen perpetrated in Pittsburg would
have provoked the swiftest of retribu
ton.
There can be no palliation for such a
crime nor compromise with such Grim
mails.
The swifter. the more radical and ex-
trene the penalty. the better is the safe
guard of women from the assaults Of
bfutes who should be exterminated.
Better have wiped out the whole ne
gro population of Pittsburg than to
have encouraged these repeated assaults
by the failure to do what would have
been done quickly and sunrnarily in any
section of the South where virtuous
woman is always assured the fullest
protection which can be given by
Southern man, even at the sacrifice Of
his life
