EDITORIAL COMMENT.
BACK HOME WITH THE JAPs.

There is probably no one item that is commanding the atten-
ton of the public more closely than the antiJapanese sentiment on
the Pacific coast-and to the American there is no type OF humanity
so despisable as the Japanese who are coming to this country by
the thousands, and who are doing more to ruin the welfare of labor
on the coast than all other classes of foreigners in the United
States. Some sort of legislation should be enacted without undue
delay to put a stop to the influx of those peope-as well as to I'M
load the Japanese population we have.
Matters have gotten to a stage where something must be done
to relieve the situation. 1t is not a time for heated agitation on the
part of orators of the radical type. There is, on the contrary a cry
ing demand for the conservative element to get down to business and
enact such legislation as will rid the Pacific coast and in fact the en-
tire union, of japanese.
This can be accomplished by the use of good judgment. and
thereby not involve the United States in a war with Japan. War is
undesirable and should always be avoided when possible-and in
this instance there seems no good reason why anti-Japanese legisla-
ton should eliminate in a bloody conflict.
1t is the plain duty of American citizens to protect themselves
against any undesirable race-let it be Japanese, Chinese Q + Hin
dus; and the better class of Japanese representatives of Japanhs
government-must readily concede that the situation is one which
should be solved along lines of conservative legislation. Japan is
fully aware that most of her subjects in the United States are an
undesirable class, and she should see it as a clearly defined duty she
owes the world. to enter into any treaty which will put a stop to fur
Their immigration of her subjects to America, and to aid in Kidding
the United States of the thousands of Japs now within oue borders.

HOW ABOUT THE SCHOOL FUND.

The present state legislature is straining every nerve to lead
people to believe they are doing all within their power to economic
wherever possible.
But are they making good?
For instance, it has been brought to their attention that if a law
were passed permitting the loaning Of Nevada's enormous school
fund-about $2,O00,000-to farmers of Nevada, they could make a
two-fold saving: This money could be loaned on gltedge securities
at home and command s per cent interest, thus doubling the
amount now being earned from the school fund. The other is to
relieve the farmers of Nevada from the burdensome interest they
are compelled to pay.
Are not these two items worthy the attention of our lawmak-
ers? II so, is 1t not up to the legislature to so amend the law that
these benefits can be accomplished?
We think "YES"-in big capitals.
viii the legislature act?

Will without doubt make arrangements to entertain delegates and
visitors on this occasion in a manner which will prove her worthy
OF the high honor given the southern mining city. The sum of

expenses, $500 Of which has already been raised and deposited in
one Of the Goidfeld banks. This gathering is one in which every
ei.zen OF Nevada will be interested, ant. it is a source of pride that
a Nevada city should be chosen as the place of meeting.
Ionopah also comes in for a share of this honor, as the dele
gates will spend one day in our city. It is needless to add our citi-
them a royal welcome.

The Reno Anti-Gambhng league had better save their postage
stamps and kindly refrain from sending this Office any more of
their hterature-the junk goes into the waste basket. This paper

ter that psalm-singng, misunderstanding aggregation at present.
Let them run the churches, and the people who SC desire to take a
smile and stake a dollar on a game Of chance certainly have the
right to do so without any interference on the part of this bunch of
holy ones who think they have a mission in life. Gambling was
conducted in this state before this crowd of haloed curbstone poll
ticians ever thought of coming to Nevada-and if they do not like
the way Nevada conducts itself-why, move on. There are other
states.

RENO AND THE DIVORCE LAW.

Reno made a strong fight against the new divorce law which was
defeated in the senate. Well, why shouldn't they? Whatever Reno
wants should be granted-for they are always out for the right, and
II would be bowling shame for the legislature to deprive attorneys
of that thriving city from making an honest livelihood.
Never mind the disgrace the present law is to the state. The
only fact to be considered is that the sole practice OF a number of
Renos legaates would be considerably decreased, and then they
would have to study law for a living.

1t was the famous Leonard copper

half an hour later with this exclama-

The cage which carried the president
consisted of three compartments, one
above the other. Each compartment
held about six persons. The president
and his companions occupied he top

this kind. Starting from Boston on

to make him ever afterward scowl

has been going some when he journeys
from New York to San Francisco. but
Mr.. Taft will have covered owe 10000

has been an intensely interesting and
in many ways y thoroughly enjoyable
trip. Just why he made it he told as
follows on the I'VE of his departure:
