Of Most Stringent Law.

The crash of cannon turned the old
colonels thoughts toward death.
Il know of three millionaire septua-

whose sons killed them because they
were about TO marry young girls of
20 or so. 1t is very dangerous thing
for a rich old man to marry a young
girl.
Were l a legislator. I'd propose q
new law, a law to protect Gobsa Golde

their millions and their vigilant mid

WOULD CALL HALT ON CALL
FORNlk ANTl-JAPANESE
LEGISLATION.
LETTER TO GOVERNOR
NO DANGER FROM JAPANESE I'M.
MIGRATION AND AGITAToRs
ONLY MAKE TROUBLE.

Sacramento Cal.-President Roose-
welt has taken a hand in the anti-Jap-
anese legislation now before the Cali
fornia Legislature and has asked the
governor to take steps to have all legis-
lation held up until the President can
be heard in the matter.
In a telegram sent Saturday this re-
quest was embodied and a letter is en-
route to Sacramento which will give
the chief executives views and wishes
in the matter of legislation against the
Little brown men,
According to a statement made by
Governor Gillett there will be no legis-
lation against the Japanese at this ses-
sion of the Legislature.
The legislators who have introduced
radical antl-Japanese measures resent
interference by the President and gov
srnor and say they viii fight
President Roosevelt's letter to Gov
ernor Gillett dated January 10th. says:
Il am greatly concerned over the
anti-Japanese bills which are appar'
entity going through or are on their
way in the California Legislature. They
are in every sense most unfortunate.
AT last We have in first class working
order the arrangement which with
such difficulty we succeeded in getting
through two years ago. The Japanese
government is obviously acting in good
faith. During the six months ending
October 3lst, last, the total number OF
japanese who have come to the main
land of the United States has been
2.074. and the total number who have
left has been 3,1Sl. In other words,
the whole object nominally desired by
those who wish to prevent the incom-
ing of Japanese laborers has been
achieved
More Japanese are leaving the
country than are coming in. and by
present indications in a very few
years the number of japanese here
will be no greater than the number OF
Americans in Japan; that is. the move
ment will be as normal in one case as
in the other, which is just as we de-
sire There is. therefore. no shadow
of excuse for action which will simply
produce great irritation and may result
in upsetting The present agreement ard
throwing open the whole situation
again
These agitators have themselves to
thank if trouble comes from what they
do. if there is any rush or influx of
japanese hither. They hamper the ma
tional government in what it has now
so efficiently accomplished-the agree
ment by peaceful means, and through
~; ,l,
government. to keep japanese immi-
grants out of the United States save
as Americans themselves visit Japan.
Is it not possible to get the Legisla-
ture to realize one great unwisdom
from the standpoint of the country at
large, and above all from the stand
point of California, of what is being
done?"
