THOROUGHLY AROUSED

Animosity Long Standing.
There has been bitter feeling between
the white farmers and the japanese at
the market for many months. Stands
are awarded each morning, and japanese
and white gardeners have to stand next
to each other. The japanese almost al
ways outnumber the white farmers, and
frequently get the choice positions.
Although by this arrangement Japan
ese gardeners may be on both sides OF
a white gardener the latter will not
allow the japanese to cross between his
wagon ard his sales bench on the side
walk.
Several big truck associations are back
of the movement. The Market Garden
ers' Association and the Italian Garden
ers' Association have both come out
openly for the movement =.

| We told in a former article how the
| Japanese truck farmer in California was
driving his white competitor to the wall
and was invading our own state. Very
few people are aware of the inroads the
Japanese are making on the business of
the white truck farmers in the White
River valley. 1t is a very real menace
to the men who are suffering from this
direct competition and they are up in
arms. The following taken from the Sc
attic P.-I. of April 30th shows how the
white farmers of that valley view the
situation and what they are going to do
about it.
White farmers at the public market
have subscribed more than $1,000 to a
fund to be used in an attempt to drive
all japanese from the Pike-place insti-
tuition. They have employed lawyers,
and expect to have their plan of proceed
ure outlined by Saturday afternoon.
The organizers of the movement claim
that if necessary they can raise several
times that amount. They further state
that every white farmer at the market
is ready to subscribe $25 or more to this
cause. They also claim to have the
moral backing of organized labor.
"Under the alien law we believe we
cnn keep all aliens from enjoying the
privileges of the public market" said
Henry Spelker, one of the organizers OF
the movement. can alien cannot hold
real property in this state, and doc not
pay either poll or real property tax. This
market was built by the money of the
taxpayers of Seattle, for the benefit of
the people. Aliens, who in no way support
it should not have the right to sell their
produce on it, in competition with white
farmers who are American citizens and
are paying taxes to support such in
stitutions.
Has Been Brewing.
"This movement has been brewing for
more lHdu u ear. lHc ioi uieIo HaNe

broached for an organized fight. Every
white farmers on the market has agreed
to subscribe $25 or more. Two asso-
Citations have agreed to spend $500 each
in the cause. If we need it, we can raise
many times the $500 already pledged.
The fight will be to a finish, once it is
formally launched.
"We cannot compete with the japanese
gardeners and make any money. They
pay their help SIS to $l7 per month and
board. The japanese help lives on rice
and other cheap food. We cannot get
men for less than $40 per month, and
have to board our men besides. The

OriQin of Surnames.

Surnames were introduced into Eng.
land by the Normans and were adopt
ed by the nobility about 100. The old
Normans used Fitz. which signifies
son, as Fitzherbert. The Irish used

The Scottish highlander used Mac, rs
Macdonald. son of Donald. The Welsh
used Ap. as APP Rhys. the son Of Rhys,
APP Richard. The prefix APP eventually
was combined with the name Of the
father: hence Prys, Pritchard, etc. The
northern nations added the word son
to the fathers name. as Williamson.

CLASHES of silence" They monop'ized
the conversation. Boswell was constantly
prodding Johnson to elicit some sententious
,Johnsonian observation. TWAS complained
of Coleridge that he did all the talking and
was overwhelming. There is no equality
in the intercourse of such phenomenal
minds with those of ordinary mortals, and
the term converser is misnomer when
applied to the professional talking geniuses.
1t has been said that the highest compi-
ment we can pay man is to deal with him
as an intellect. There is, we fear, wide
departure from this lofty standard in our

From the New Orleans Picayune

From the New Orleans Picayune.l
The Indifference Of the American people
to the criminal shedding of human blood
and the extreme rarity of the cases in which
the most atrocious murderers are punished
with death, are facts that have combined
to bring the official administration of the
criminal laws into unconcealed and widely
expressed contempt.
These conditions obtain in every part Of
the country, but the city of Baltimore
claims to be one community which presents
a decisive exception to the deplorable stu
alton that prevails generally throughout
this country. According to the Star news.
paper of that city, Baltimore, in the forty
two years since January t., 1867, has had
635 murders-an average of fraction
more than one month for approximately
half-century. That does not sound like
creditable record on its face, but COM
parison with other cities will show that it is
The most important fact, however, is that
only per cent of BALTIMORE murderers in
that long period have escaped punishment.
In but few cases can the best possible
vigilance on the part of the police prevent
murders. Homicide is rarely committed
in public place where policeman could
properly be. The murderer does his work
in secret. Yet in Baltimore for nearly half
a century only two in every 100 have es-
capped punishment. That is record which
is not surpassed in the civilized world. Of
the remaining $40, or Whereabouts, SO per
cent have expiated their crimes on the
gallows, the remaining 2 per cent having
been sentenced to various terms in prison.
Such is Baltimore's claim, and when the
general .impunity with which men and
women are murdered, and in such great
numbers, is considered, Baltimore record
is unusual.
