Of the question because President
Roosevelt has asked us not to pass

II wish TO dispel the idea, that

In case the necessity arose, he said
Japan could raise in California an
army of 10000 of her own subjects
most of whom have served in the army
After quoting many figures on the
influx of the yellow races. into this
country, Mr.. Drew concluded
The Japanese are better of where
they are. They should be permitted
to come here to take advantage OF our
educational institutions and to pronl
by our civilization, but we do moi
want foreign absentee land ownership
This Is q question of self-preser

Mr.. Drew received considerable ap-
plause from the crowded galleries and
from his colleagues on the floor.
Shortly before noon, Richard l.. Mel
rose began his address In opposition
to the bill
Mr. Melrose said he did not think
it possible that there were 25,oU0 Jap
anese in the state, and he advised that
the governors suggestion to give the
labor commissioner power to take ac.
ton, should be acted upon before pass
ing any of the bills He also said
statistics compiled by the Asiatlc eX-
clusion league showed tnat there were
not more than 70 Japanese land own
ers IN California.
"As to Japanese labor" he contin-
ued, "some of you on this floor, who
Gown vineyards know how necessary 1T
Is at times to employ Japanese to har-
vest Your crops The farmers or this
country cannot get along without 9th
cr than white labor, and so long as the
Japanese do not come here in over
whelming numbers. cannot see where
the danger to California lies"
The speaker then took up the gen
eral question of barring aliens and de-
clared> that foreigners had invested
, many millions OF capital In the state

When you swat the little Japanese,
who doesn't amount to a hill OF beans,
you also swat every other nationality
on the face of the globe. Is it wise
for you TO do that?" he asked
At this point the assembly took a
recess until two o'clock with the un.
derstanding that Mr.. Melrose should
resume his speech Immediately upon
re-convening.

this week, has reached the thirty-foot
six inches mark, two feet higher than
ever before since a record has been
kept. and IT is still rising. The stream,
which now Is cutting out new chan

Ready to Work Old Mines.

Jonesboro, Feb. o.-Only favor able weather is needed to make complete preparations for the de- velopment of extensive zinc mines at Hardy, a few miles north of here on the Frisco railroad. The mines are the property of a Jones' boro company for period of fifty years. These fields have laid idle since before the civil war. At the time just before the war profitable mining business had been worked up. A decline in the price of metal threw into disuse the mines and old smelter. Prices have ral- lied now and the output will be profitable. There is also gold and silver in the vicinity but no effort will be made to mine it for profit.

AUSTRALIAN WOMEN VOTERS.

Women in Australia may now vote in commonwealth and state elec- tions, the colonies of British Aus tralasia being most progressive, even radical, in all matters of political procedure. New Zealand has had woman suffrage in municipal and general elections for 16 years. Wom- en have long had partial rights in the matter of voting, but they did not desist from their efforts until they got everything they wanted. Funny stories are told of the women going to the polls with their infants in their arms and asking the police men to hold the babies while they voted. The women are hard to make understand that the Australian bal lot is secret. There being no law forbidding congregating about the polls, women are often seen there buttonhOling the voters.
