JAPANESE PAPERS PRAISE
ATTITUDE OF ROOSEVELT

Toxic, Feb. 6.-No comment has
been made b. the of this
city on the anti-Japanese resolutions
now before the Nevada legislature, and
the matter was but briefly mentioned
in the special press dispatches. The full
text of the resolutions has been Off
cially cabled to the foreign office, how
ever. where 1t was received with ex-
pressions of establishment.
Leading men of the capital who have
been interviewed on the subject, while
they are evidently deeply wounded by
the attitude taken in Nevada, refrain
from making any m further
than to say:
Nevada is not America"
AS the full text of the resolution is
known TO not more than a dozen per-
sons In Japan at present, however, It
is impossible TO foretell what the gen
eral view will be when Ii Is published.
1t undoubtedly will draw excited COM
ment from Japan's lingo press and pol
iticians, but the leading papers and the
people of Japan as a whole never ex-
press their feelings even under the
strongest provocation.
The letters interchanged on the anti
Japanese matter by President Roose-
welt and Governor Gillett, OF California,
have been published In full by the
~Japaneses newspapers and appear to
afford great satisfaction. Official ex-
preston as well as the editorial stand
taken by the press is one of gratitude
at the attitude of the national govern
ment I'm America. The news of the
action taken by the New York and San
Francisco business men in declaring
against the proposed anti-Japanese
measures introduced In the California
Legislature Is followed with great pleas
ure here.

AMENDED JAPANESE
BILL IS DEFEATED
Sharp Debate in California
Legislature Over the Alien
Land Measure.

Sacramento, Cal, Feb. 6.-After a
long debate the assembly by a vote OF
As TO 2S rejected the bill drawn by A
M. Drew, barring aliens from owner
ship of land in California. The bill had
been amended at the request of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary Root, SO
that the clause applying to Japanese
only was eliminated. making the bill
apply to all aliens. but the measure
aroused such q storm OF opposition that
long before the debate was closed by
Mr.. Drew it was apparent that the
measure would be defeated.
With the defeat of the Drew bill all
hope Of passing any a~nti-Japanese
measures has been practically aban-
doned by the sponsors of the new reg
ulations. Governor Gillett was high
ly pleased with the action of the as
sembly. 1t is expected that he o
will proceed with the measure designed
to secure an exact census of Japanese
In this state.
Most of the opposition to the bill,
according to the speeches of it's op-
ponents, was based either on grounds
~trane to the japanese question
or on the argument that It's passage
would retard rather than hasten the
exclusion of the Japanese from his
state and country.
In substance the objection to it was
that il would drive at least 81, 900, 000, 900
of foreign capital out of the state and
might jeopardiZe the present friendly
commercial relations with Japan.
The supporters of the bill contended
that the state was being oyerrun with
thrifty japanese who were gradually
gaining an impregnable position as land
owners and whose government. was try
ing to dictate to California regarding
Legislation.
Mr.. Drew said in his speech:
IT think / voice the sentiment OF a
majority of the people of the state
when I say that conditions now pre-
lvailing are d~eplorable. There is q law
against alien ownership of land In this
state, not against Japanese alone, and
the president himself informs me in a
letter that / received today that he Is
mot opposed to the bill as it has been
amended.
1--WE must keep Japanese out Of this
country, n we must prevent them
from owning land in California. Only
the government at Washington has the
power to keep them away from our
shores, but it is for the legislature to
say whether they shall own property
here.
ut is as important for California to
do her part to protect the integrity OF
her soil as 1t Is for the national govern
ment to preserve our racial integrity
Richard l.. Melrose, in opposition to
the bill, said he did not think it pos
isible that there were 25, 900 Japanese In
the state. He said statistics complied
by the Asiatic Exclusion league showed
that there were not more than rs Jap
anese and owners in California.
Some Of you on this floor who own
vineyards know how necessary 1t is at
times to employ Japanese to harvest
your crops. The farmers Of his coun-
try cannot get along without other
than white labor, and so long as the
Japanese do not come here in over
whelming numbers, / canno see where
the danger to California lies"

DULUTH HAS IGEXODUS
Rush Of Harvesters to North Dakota

Duluth Herald: They're off for the

The rush for the harvest fields ~
North Dakota has begun in earnAst
The demand for men to cut the golden
Wheat Is heavy and today orders for
harvesters began to pour into the local
employment offices. The rush has
started and from now until late in the
fall this cIamor for laborers to cut
the big crop will be incessant.
Today an order came to the National
Employment Co for 1000 men for the
district near Wahpeton, N d. The
men are wanted Immediately and the
wages offered are from $3.50 to So
day and board.
Other employment Offices in the
Michigan street district this morning
had bulletins out offering work in the
harvest fields OF North Dakota. IN
/ fact bulletins placard the windows and
bulletin boards Of all the Duluth en-
lployment offices, Offering work for
anywhere from 100 to $50 men in the
wheat cutting district OF North pa

Local employment men state that ii
lis impossible to estimate how MANY
men will be needed in the fields Of
North and South Dakota and Mime
sofa. Orders on the books of the Du-
lluth employment Offices right at the
lpresent time, when the rush il in its
infancy, offer employment for over
$4,000 men. A vast army Of laborers

CURRIE SAYS RUST
HAS DONE DAMAGE
WELL KNOWN cANDo MAcHIN-
ERY MAN SAYS BLACK RUST
AND HOT WEATHER HAVE
DAMAGED THE CROP IN TOWN
ER COUNTY AND VICINITY.

Alex Currie, the we'll known Candc
machinery man and Towner county
democrat, Is in town today. He says
that black rust has appeared in Town
er county and vicinity and will do
considerable damage. He also believed
that the heat has done a great deal OF
damage throughout the state and that
the rain Of the past few days is doing
still more.
Mr.. Currie owns one Of the largest
farms in Towner county and this and
his big machinery business causes him
to watch crop conditions like a hawk
which gives his opinion considerable
weight.
The yield this year will be a big
disappointment to many who have been
looking for a rs to 80 per cent normal
crop" said Mr.. Currie. THE late
grain is suffering most from rust
Three years ago when the rust first
appeared I began cutting my grain at
once and secured a yield of 80 bushels
to the acre which graded No. 2. Grain
in neighboring fields which was left
standing amounted to little or moth
ing"
Mr.. Currie advises cutting as soon
as possible after the rust appears.

boy DESERTED BY
HEARTLESS MOTHER
LITTLE PIcKANINNY PICKED UP
BY CHARITY AGENT AFTER
MOTHER TAKES WEsT-RoUND
TRAIN-HER SOLE OBJECT, TO
GET RID OF YoUNGsTER.

Deserted by his mother, with no
money, no relatives or no where to
go, little James Smith, a 1O-year- old
colored boy found himself up against
the cold world yesterday afternoon
The little fellow was picked up at the
Northern Pacific passenger. depot by
railway employees and when his sad
story was related Charity Agent Nc
Cracken was notified and took charge
of the case.
1t appears that the mother left the
city as a last resort in ridding herself
of her offspring. Boarding N. P. No.
she refused TO take the little fellow
with her. His appeals were to no
avail.
Earlier in the day the woman visited
the courthouse in an endeavor to have
the boy sent to the state reform school.
The black faced little chap melted
considerable sympathy despite the fact
that he frankly admitted that he was
bad sometimes
Charity Agent McCracken took the
matter before the county commission
ers late yesterday afternoon and a
ticket was furnished to send the lad to
his grand parents at Des Moines. where
he has spent considerable of his life.
He was put aboard a train last even
ing, to take him to his relatives where
he will make his future home.

Mr.. van der Maaten began by CIV
ing short history of the movement
The founder of Christian Endeavor was
Rev. Francis E. Clark, D. D. The
first society was organized in the Will
liston Congregational church in Port
land, Me-, Feb. 2, 1881.
He showed in brief way how the
movement had grown from one socie-
ty of forty Endeavors. one denomina-
tion, and one language, until the move
ment is represented today by 10000
societies, 3,500,000 Endeayorers, sew
enty-five different denominations, and
1875 languages, and is found in all
parts of the world.
The work of the various committees
were taken up last night and discuss
ed. The first was the prayer meeting
committee. The field worker said that
there is too much form and not a suf-
ficient play of originality. He gave
several plans Of how to get the praye;
meetings out of the formal way oi
conducting the meetings. In speaking
on the work of the lookout commit
tee, he showed very clearly that IL
pays to advertise the work, use the
lClSpAOhSp lhS HledIL, appoint VlSlLlnS
committees, use the daily press, have
announcements made from the pulpit,
put invitations in the hotels, etc.
In closing the speaker gave. few
examples of what the societies are do
ing throughout the country. In one
society mentioned the pastor can go
to any of the active members and ask
them to lead the mid-week prayer
meeting of the church; any of the
members will lead in prayer at any
service of the church, and they are
giving over $500 to mission. Inside of
three months after organization a Lu-
theran society in Trenton, N. j., was
supporting missionary in the foreign
field. Seventeen young men have en-
tered the ministry from the society
in the Central Christian church, Ports
mouth, o. The society in the First
Presbyterian church of Pasadena. Cal.
gave $1,000 to missions last year. A
little Mexican society down in Mexi.
CO City gave $6,711.54 to missionary
causes last year. This was the las
and most striking example used.
The young people of Fargo will Ions
remember their little conference witt
