THE CoMMINGLING OF THE

The Pacific coast affords a broad field
for observation In regard to the inter
usrrisge question, where every nation
on earth is represented; and children ol
every hue and color un Ter the sun are
growing up, and are being educated side
by aide, at the expense of white Ameri-
caus. And Just here, the school Yues-
ton 10 San Francisco, though not agi.
tsied at this time, Is q serious menace to
the future peace and welfare of mary
families, when the japanese, the China
men and the negroes are not only al-
lowed 10 enter public schools, but they
are seated within hsndsbake of tb-
young girls and boys of fourteen to sew
enteen years OF age; Japanese Of twenty
one and twenty-five years in daily con-
tract, smiling aud smirking, and forcing
their attentions upon our daughters, who,
given certain seats in the schoolrOom,
are thus forced to be nsuted by these
cunning, almOnd-eyed Williams, whose
observation they can't get away from ex-
cept by losing their own education.
Many deplOIable instances of forced mar
riages sre there in California and the
other Pacific coast states. Take the
Helen Emery and "Aokis" case; great
deal has been said about 1t, much has
been published 10 regard to the circum.
stances surrounding the esrly stages OF
the acquaintance OF the Emery family
with this japanese raider upon the inno-
ceuce of American purity, but nothing
was attempted and nothing was done to
stamp out the perniciousness Of the acl I;
lut, on the other hand, the matter was
passed by as an incident of the present
condition of life In Oslifornis, aud
with it whole family prominent in the
best circles of our best people have
passed out of our home life and forced TO
live exile1 from friends and relatives
Hundreds of other cases we never hear
of, and this is only the beginning of the
end, unless pure white Americans Gao

Quail i'm Louisiana.

the State G"no Commission say the
increase Is one of the first fruits of
the~game protection system.
Frank M. Miller, president of the
commission said: There is no ques-
tion but that the great increase in
these birds is due to proper protec-
tion. Last March a closed season was
declared, and from then until Novem-
Der the law was strictly enforced.
AS result an enormous number of

free from ceremonial and political
functions the Czar found much pleas
ure in the company of the little Prince
of Piedmont and Princesses Yolanda
and Mafalda, for whom he had
brought magnificent present from
Livadia.
This consisted of model village
populated by dolls dressed in Russian
garb. The village is marvel of per-
fection. Tie wooden houses or huts
are provided with windows and doors
which can BE opened and shut; there
are shops completely furnished with
counters and goods, beautiful school
and church with a clock tower. The
Gear explained to the children every

CASE Of LITTLE
WITH THE JURY
FATE OF MAN WHO is CHARGED
WITH NUMBERING A FAMILY or
SIX IN VIRGINIA WILL SOON BE
KNOWN.
By Associated Press.

Tazewell, Va, Nov. 26.-The case Of
Howard Little, charged with murder
ing the Meadows family, six members.
and burning the bodies in the home in
an effort to conceal the crime, went
to the jury tonight.
Today's testimony was sensational.
Mary Lee, the most important witness,
testified that she lived at the Little
home, and that he was away from
home on the night of the murder.
Next morning she saw his coat, which
had been washed. It was the theory
of the state that Little washed the
coat to remove the blood stains.
Other witnessed identified the lantern
found at the Little home as the prop-
erty of George Meadows.
