THE JAPANESE.

The desire of the Asiatics to make
a home in the United States is &
matter of fifty years knowledge
The Chinese were the earliest to
seek us out and, until the gates were
put up, contrived to come by the
thousands year after year, The
closed door, however, put a check on
this. Since prohibition was enforced
their numbers have declined. In the
decade from 1890 to 1900 they de-
creased from 126,77S to 119,050,
and the census of 1910 undoubtedly
will show another loss.
The Japanese, on the other hand,
have been increasing. They have
multiplied six times over in the ten
years terminating in 1900, going
from 1899 to 85,986. They are
free to come in. There are 1000
under the flag, more than half being
in Hawaii. Their presence is espe-
cially objected to by California,
where they become farmers, servants,
labOrers and merchants of varying
degrees of Importance. They are
charged with resorting to dishonesty
and sharp practices in bargaining,
and to be destitute of the morals
which Americans deem essential for
the civilization they have created.
They can underbid labor and under
sell the white farmer, and they do
They are a bone of contention, and
our government officials are put to
their wits end to keep California
from adopting laws against them
which would offend, perhaps anger,
the Japanese nation.
The singular thing about it is that
the Asiatics have turned longing
eyes upon US while, if they gaze
southwark, they will find countries
quite as rich as ours in which they
can find homes and perhaps a well
come-something denied by our peo-
pie. Why should they not, as we
have seen suggested, take to Brazil or
the other South American states,
which are striving to attract immi-
grants? In the cities there are no
labor unions to antagonize and in the
country the farmers would not OBJ
ject to them for the natives are not

Let the yellow people of the East
try the lower end of this continent,
and see if they are not better treat
ed there than they can ever hope to
be dealt with here.

THE COST Is CLIMBING.

The expense of keeping this gov
eminent going is on the increase. We
spend more in one year now than
we did in half a dozen administra-
tons beginning with Washington.
Suddenly we have become a world
power. We have possessions in the
two greatest oceans. We must have
a navy to keep trespassers off, and
we must send a squadron around the
world to impress upon the nations
our might upon the water. All this
costs money, especially when some
of the great guns use up $1,000 in
projectiles and powder at single
discharge.
The demand to keep this up has
resulted in an empty treasury, and
it looks as if the deficit by July will
amount to $135,O0O,OOO. To meet
it new revenues must be raised or
old ones carried higher or bonds is
sued. Among other suggestions is to
place a duty on coffee and tea. This
would raise a storm of protest. 1t
would be likened to a war measure.
1t is likely that a bond issue will be
authorized by the special session of
which, it appears, will have
to do besides revise the
tariff.

IN SHIRT SLEEVES AND SMOKE

Judge John H. Martin of the Oco-
nee circuit hasn't furnished the jul
rors of his courts with any morning
toddies but he does other things.
The Dublin Times reports that while
presiding over Laurens superior
court last week he gave permission
to all who desired to smoke to do so
as much as they pleased, and citizens
and lawyers and jurors putting pipes
and stogies and cigarettes in the
court room while the business of the
court was being transacted was a
sight perhaps never before seen in
Georgia. For a long while it has
been the custom of Judge Martin to
permit any one who gets too warm
to shuck his coat and sit in shirt
sleeves while the mill of Justice
grinds, and now if he will follow the
example of the Tennessee Judge and
serve morning "bracers" his election
for life will be certain. Furthermore,
there will be an exodus of LAWYERS
and citizens competent for jury duty
to his circuit, and it will soon become
the most populous and popular of
any in the state. No other judge will
have such an admirable and admir-
ing constituency.

The supreme court of the United
States has decided that an admitted
trust cannot go into court and sue for
money due it, nor collect it's debts
by law. That puts debt to an ad-
mitted trust on the same plane as a
gambling debt-not collectable by
law. But the man who buys from
the admitted trust, uses its goods or
products and then tries to avoid pay
ment because it is a trust is no high
er in the scale of honesty and fair
dealing than the trust. "Set thief

Verses 11-13-What was the idea
that these people had of the Deity.
How would 1t be likely that Bar

GROUND SQUIRRELS
Experiment Proves Effectual to the
Gophers and Rabbits as Wen.

Interesting results have just been
announced by the forest service as
a result of the campaign conducted
| in Southern California by Stanley f.
Piper, expert of the biological survey
of the department of agriculture, to
eXterminate ground squirrels and
gophers
Extensive experiments were tried
to determine the best means OF kill
ing off these destructive little ami
mails, and it was found that most
effective results were obtained by
using poisoned green or ripened
barley heads. The squirrels arc ex-
and eagerly ate the poisoned food
placed along their runways. Tests
were also made with oats, wheat,
barley, raisins, prunes,. dried apples,
and cracked corn, but these did not
prove so successful.
While green barley proved most
successful for poisoning ground
squirrels, yet the difficulty of pro-
curing a sufficient supply in all To-
calities led to dried barley grain be-
ing tried. The grain was treated
with strychnine sulphate. saccharine
and eggs, and although this combin-
alton proved very destructive to the
squirrels, it had practically no effect
upon doves and quail. In fact, a
deliberate attempt was made to poi
son these birds at their watering
places. but no bad effect resulted
The poisoned grain was also used in
fields grazed over by sheep and pro-
duced no i'll effects whatever
The experiments also proved that
gophers We're partial to raisins and
dried apples, and these were sue
cessfully used in the poison expert
ment. 1t was found that by sprink-
ling the apples or raisins with the
strychnine solution, as effective re-
suits were produced as could be OBJ
tanned by inserting the poison into
the fruit.
The experiments for determination
of squirrels also resulted in the death
of considerable number of rabbits,
and in other experiments it was
found that poisoned oats proved
very effective in killing both jacks
and cottontaIs. Green alfalfa was
also used with good results for the
same purpose
