HATTIEseURe's POSSIBILITIES.

III iiEo6O NOS Possibilities.
South of the Alabama and Vicksburg
and east of the Illinois Central rail
ways, are ten thousand square miles
OF territory of which Hattiesburg is
the exact center. OF this vast area
larger than the combined states of
Massachusetts and Rhode Island, not
more than 20 per cent. is developed:
a territory rich in all the possibili.
ties and resources which are neces.
sary to lay the foundation for vast
wealth and prosperity. In the center
of this territory with railway lines
radiating in seven directions Hatties-
burg is located as advantageously as
if some one with great foresight had
chosen the location for a city, a cen.
fury ago, and had made it impossible
for any one else to locate another
which could equal in importance, this
natural gateway, where commerce,
following its natural trend, from time
immemorial brings its wares to some
important center, and from thence, by
divergent lines distributes it wher-
ever the hand of man produces any
thing needed in the commerce of the
world. To the lines of railway which
are yet to be added for the benefit
of this important transportation cen
ter, you may draw an imaginary line
from Hattiesburg to WaynesborO,
and thence to the coal fields OF Ala |
bama. Another line directly east |
will strike the proposed extension Of !
the Southern Railway from And3- /
lusia. To the southwest the extension /
of the road now building ly the Ia
tum Lumber Company will be extend
ed to Columbia and furnish us with
another important connection; and
with the great development of the
state will be born the necessity for
another line which will run directly
from Memphis to Hattiesburg for here
will be the real gateway to the gulf.
where four transportation systems
diverge to reach four different ports
which will compete for the commerce
which will pass through the Panama
canal. Is it not hard to imagine the
future Importance of city so favored;
and how it may be developed by wise
planning in advance.
No other city in the state has or
can have the advantage possessed by
Hattiesburg of four lines to gulf ports,
whose efforts to build up their own
commerce will add to whatever eff
'orts may be put forth by this city
o increase the volume of traffic which
will naturally pass through this ho
ateway. :.

THE JAPANESE.


President Roosevelt is much exer-
cised over the bills introduced in the
California legislature against the
Japanese. 1t is proposed there by
certain members to pass acts COM
polling the Japs to reside within GER
tain definite districts and forbidding
citizens of the Mikado from owning
land in the State of California. The
President has telegraphed Governor
Gillette of California a request to
hold up all such legislation until a
letter written by him reaches Sacra-
mento, the capitol. The Governor
has said that he will acquiesce in the
request of the chief executive.
The Japanese agitation in Califor-
MIA today is but repetition Of the
troubles Of 80 years ago over the
Chinese. The latter were also Of the
yellow race. The Chinese Of the very
lowest class poured into California
by the tens of thousands. They had
a low standard of living. They came
In competition with white labor. They
could work cheaper because they
could live cheaper.
The white man became alarmed.
The laborer found his bread and but
ter threatened. The workingmen
lead by an agitator named Kearney,
began "The Chinese must go" move
ment. 1t finally eliminated in the
burning of the docks of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company, whose
boats brought most of the Chinese to
San Francisco.
The difference in race also added
to the flames. Many philanthropists
and preachers in the East denounced
the course in California and claimed
that the real sentiment of the peo-
pie was In favor Of the immigration
but that demagogues so dominated
the State that the average citizen
was afraid to express his true feel
ings. Finally the California legislat-
ure provided a secret ballot test on.
the question and the vote of the State
stood 10000 or more against less
than 500 in favor of the little yellow
man.
As a result of the continual agi-
tation the Congress of the United
States passed stringent exclusion
act which is still on the national stat.
ute books. As the years passed and
the Chinese ceased to come, the num-
hers In San Francisco and through
out California gradually dwindIed.
In 1870, ouf>of a population in San
Francisco of 100000, more than TO-
900 were Chinese. In 1910, the CEN
sus will probably show the city of the
Golden Gate over 100000 with 25,-
900 or less Chinese.
The natural result is the compet-
ton between the races has practical
~ been wiped out and all danger of
the yellow domination by the Chinese
has passed away.
The Winchester news. [volume] (Winchester, Ky.) 1908-19??, 1909-01-20

-. II isu.n III ycs.iS ta.e ~ pan. .;e
have gone through the same couse
as their Chinese brethren. Attracted
by the better wages Of this country,
they have poured through the Golden
Gate in countless thousands. At
first they were welcomed and encour-
aged. But finally their low standard
of livelihood produced the inevitable
conflict with white labor. The work
ingman became afraid of his own
bread and butter. ''The Japanese
must go" replaced the old cry of a
generation ago.
And with the Japanese there was
an item that cut no figure in the case
of the Chinese. The latter were al
WAYS meek and humble without as
piration except to be left to dwell In
peace. The Jap as soon as he OBJ
tanned a foothold, became arrogant
and self assertive. He was tena-
clous OF his rights. And with this.
he added an absolute disregard of
his contracts or obligations unless il
was his interest to observe them. He
had no business honor. He could not
conceive of the duty to keep an
agreement if it was to his advantage
to break it.
And since the Russian-Japanese
war he has become particularly OBJ
noxious in his manners and behavior.
The fear of yellow domination has
again asserted itself on the Pacific
Coast aud the agitation will never
stop unless the Japanese are exclud-
ed.
The United States has negotiated
a treaty with Japan excluding the la
boring class from entering this coun-
try. If the treaty be observed faith
fully for 20 years, the Japanese will
then be in the same condition the
Chinese are now. But treaty or not
the people of the Pacific States will
insist that the exclusion be practical
and effective.
The present acts of the California
legislator are but reflective of the
feelings of the people. Many such
bills were passed against the Chin
csc; most of them were declared I'M
constitutional by the State or Federal
Courts. The proposed act to create
a japanese pale would undoubtedly
be knocked out by the courts while
the exclusion of Japanese ownership
of land mioht be made effective.
The recommendation of President
Roosevelt year or so ago that the
japanese be given the ballot was the
red rag to the bull. California
could not understand it and fiercely
resented it.
Southerners should understand the
feeling Of the coast We have a
problem of our own that will prob
ably take untold generations to fully
solve. Our country as a whole is re-
ceiving hundreds of thousands of
immigrants from Europe every year
and it is taking all our virility to alb
sorb this alien blood. Why compli-
cate our future further by allowing
hordes of yellow men to invade our
Western shores.
