RACE QUESTION NATIONAL.

Apparently there is an awakening at
Washington, D. c., over the Japanese
race question which must be settled by
diplomacy or by force of arms, but set
tied it must be sooner or later.
Monaghan race question is ma
tional. 1t is a menace to the peace and
welfare of the country through the in
sistence of the Japanese in the States OF
the Pacific in their demand for recogni-
ton in the schools for white children.
If the japanese were of the Caucas-
ian instead of the Monaghan race their
claims would have some degree of force
but if it be conceded that the Japanese
should enjoy the equality and the priv
leges of the schools for white children,
why should this right be withheld OF
denied to the Chinese or the negro?
Unfortunately this agitation has beer
aggravated through the intermeddling OF
the President, in so-called efforts at the
paci6cation of the japanese. Had Mr..
Roosevelt been more firm and less con-
ciliatory to the Japenese demands the
question would have. been settled and
settled right.
Instead, he has attempted to dragon
the States of the Pacific which has en-
boldened the japanese in their insistenc<
upon their demands. 1t is not surpris
ing to be informed from Washington
that the race question is becoming ma
tional and as declared by Senator New.
