high seas all the way and were over
three days late at New York when they
received the wireless message that a
wreck had occurred and to turn back to
their rescue, that of the Republic and
Florida. He gives graphic account of
the rescuing of the passengers from the
sinking ships, as he stood on the upper
deck and was an eye witness of the
whole scene as they came up. They
were ten hours, all through the night, in
getting them all aboard. With the crews
they then numbered 5000 and still there
was room. So one can see how huge a
ship the Baltic is. MIR. Munger is a

Roosevelt censure Eliminated

Carson City, Feb. 3.-The anti
Japanese resolution that was intro
duced in the assembly Monday by
Speaker Giffen was shorn of its vim
dictive points Tuesday The matter
was taken up by the governor and the
leaders of both political parties. and
after a conference it was decided to
eliminate the portions censuring
President Roosevelt.
The resolution as amended declares
that the state of California Is justified
in its action and urges that that state
pass law that will tend to exclude
the Japanese race; also that Nevada
views with alarm the attempted en-
croachment of the government on
state rights.
The resolution will go to the senate,
where it probably will be trimmed
further. as the Republican members
of that body express the view that it
is passing the bounds of good judg-
ment.

Exclusion League Kept Busy

San Francisco, Feb. 3.-The anti
Japanese agitation on the Pacific
coast. which has been famed into
new life by the Introduction of radi-
cal measures in the legislatures of
California and Nevada, has been
carried on quietly for some time by
the Asiatic Exclusion League, but ap-
parently is causing no excitement in
either state outside of the capitals.
All of the bills introduced in the
California legislature have been
made the special order of business in
the assembly for today and lively de-
bates may be anticipated.

transportation Companies Which

In California and Nevada-President
Will Do All Possible to Prevent En-.
actment of Dangerous Legislation
Washington. Feb. 3.-No single
question, nor, indeed, any group OF
questions, is absorbing the interest
and concern of the administration at
this moment as are certain phases of
the japanese agitation in Cali,
fornia
The president has been in communi-
cation with many persons who should
be thoroughly informed as to the con-
ditions on the Pacific coast, but a sig
nificant feature of it's lack of strength
is the fact that the labor leaders have
taken no prominent part in it.
Indeed, it has been stated to the
administration that the real main
spring of the agitation was in some of
the great corporations that had found
their profitable business of coolie
transportation threatened with de-
struction by the success attending the
efforts of the administration to stop
this class of immigration.
For the fact is. that in the opinion
of the administration the negotiations
with Japan for a practically complete
closure of American ports to the entry
of Japanese laborers are certainly
jeopardized by the extreme utterances
of certain persons in California and
by the mere consideration of such
resolutions as were entertained by the
Nevada legislature.
Even agreements already reached +,
which are being carried out in per-
feet good faith on the part of the
Japanese government. are endangered
in the sense that the present agita-
ton might very naturally tend to
abate the interest of the Japanese Of
fcials in the execution of their obli-
cations in view of the unfriendly at
llluut doSulneu ny SOlle eleuleulS Ou
the Pacific coast.
1t is these considerations that have
Influenced the president in reaching
the conclusion that everything pos
sible should be done to prevent the
enactment of legislation by any state
that would discriminate against the
Japanese as a class apart from Other
foreign elements entering America.
There is no objection whatever by
the administration to laws prohibit
ing all aliens from holding land. This
Is now, under the revised statutes,
the law in the District of Columbia
and the territories and some Of the
states. Indeed, there is a similar law
in Japan, and the government of that
country consequently could not regard
1t as anti-Japanese legislation il
adopted in California.
The president has confidence in the
people of the Pacific coast, and is
certain that they will do right in this
matter

Looker-On In Iona

Gearing, May 21-with no reference
to the officials here, it is fact that
the most unpopular men in several
Iowa towns are the railroad agent and
the postmaster. Another noticeable
thing is that when these officials are
thoroughly disliked by the public, they
are generally considered model officials
by the railroad company and the post
office department. Being cranks of
the most pronounced type, they not
only run their business along the lines
Of exactness, but they expect the pub
lie to do the same. In fact they con-
slider 1T a part OF their duty to educate
the public, to tell the public what they
ought to do and how to do it. The
public looking on them as servants,
naturally object to receiving orders or
suggestions. Again the public realiz-
ing there is no competition in the
postoffice line, that they must trade
there or go without, feel that these
postmasters can be as uncivil and dis
agreeable as they please. And let the

ANENT HELP PROBLEM.

more help on Iowa farms. A commit

Just what is the potentially of the
Iowa Club is not known but one thing
is certain the farm help problem can
be solved if farmers would give 10 it
the same businesslike attention which
they give to marketing grain, operat-
ing creameries. owning threshers and
importing pedigreed sires for their
livestock.

to secure 100 workers of a dozen diff

men are not to be had al home they
GO bravely forth with the help want
ed" ads and draw upon the whole
world until they get what they want.
Farmers, however, hard headed in all
other business matters, frequently sell
the farm and move to town acknowl-

securing help.
There are today hundreds Of thou
sands of able bodied, intelligent people
out of work in England. The distress
Of the unemployed there is terrific. If
four farmers can proftably chip in on

stallion and can proftably send one
OF their number to France to buy the
horse, 1t would seem that twenty five
FARMERS could afford to send one man
over to England to steer twenty five
