THE cALlFoRNlANs AND TIE
JAPANESE.

Bills have been introduced in the
California legislature to prevent Jap
anese from being directors of corpora
tons in that state, to segresate Jap
anese children in separate schools,
and to compel the Japanese to live III
separate quarters of the towns and
cities. These bills, if they should be-
come laws, would constitute real
grievances, which, the little brown
men on the other side Of the Pacific
would be apt to resent.
The state of California has no right
tt, give the people of any foreign
country just cause for complaint II
our treaties with Japan are no.
enough to fully protect the pee
ple of that country from discriminat
ing state statues, it is high time they
were amended. The treaties of thu
United States with foreign countrie'
cannot be interfered, with by an
state. If that We're not the law an.
state might enroll the whole countr
in disastrous foreign war.

SIGNS Of SPRING.

While no one has reported seeing
robin, or has planted flower and
garden seeds, the kids-nbout town
began playing marbles Saturday. lagg-
ling for line, and enjoying the first
warm day of the year by amusing
themselves with other games played
with commies and aggies.
The heavy roads and rains of Thurs
day and Friday, accompanied on the
evening. of the last day mentioned,
with a thunder storm, indicated that
tile Gentlemen at Medicine Hat had
been over sleeping. The mid-winter
clearance sales conducted by the
merchants in Manchester were not
given the trade that the shopkeepers
had hoped for. AS one clothing man
/. expressed it, people aren't going to
travel ten miles through six inches
Of mud to buy a fur coat, whether the
price has been reduced seven dollars
or not" But the month of February
usually renews the vigor of winter,
and according to weather prophets,
both local and national, Iowa will ex-
per:ence deep snow storms and more
cold weather before April 1st.

! MARVELLOUS CRY FOR HELP.

A tragedy with a bright side TOOK
place in n fog off the coast OF Mass
early last Saturday morning. I"o
ocean liners heavily loaded with pas
sengers collided with each other. The
thick grey veil of mist soon separated
the injured ships. The Florida, the
less injured of the two was able Z
proceed with its cargo of human
freight, but the Republic was pierced
to the heart and commenced to SINK
to the bottom of he ocean. { Then
the marvel of the age made rescue
nossible. The stricken ship sent ou'
cry for help. Its masts were trans
formed into tongues and its sharl
c1v was heard for hundreds OF mile:
in every direction and responded u
Nv other ships like fire companies re
spond to IA fire alarm.
The wireless messages from I'LL
Keeling vessel we're answered by it
comrades of the deep, and they eam'

crew. Rescue is feeble word VIII
which to describe such cries for he'll
and such responses. They are thu
marvels of the age. They are withou
a parallel in history. The nearest al
proach to such use Of the air whiai
we can now recall was back in octo

COST OF CRIME IN IOWA.

fIeFtF'1e''''F
At low estimate crime costs Iowa
about sl,ooo,oOO a year This is the
direct burden to the state for CON
viating criminals in the courts. A
million dollars is in fact only small
part of the outlay for crime. There
are to be added the expenses Of the
pcllce officers. the boarding of pris-
toner's, the loss by idleness. to cay
nothing of the losses by robberies,
arson destruction and SO on. Iowa's
crime bill from first to last is more
than the cost of its schools.

THE TRAITOR HAS CREATED
A FAMINE IN ADJECTIVES

The success of =" The Clansman' for
the past three years has SO exhausted
the supply of such adjectiyes as
phenomenal, tremendous. unpreced-
ented, cyclonic, much-talked-of, ETC.,
that those who have to write about
the first tour of "The Traitor are
really in the midst of an adjective
famine unless they repeat those appli-
ed to The Clansman.' After all it
is case of lightning striking twice
