Spokane may we'll take notice that the spurious
commission plan has made its appearance 1t is the most
important matter coming into view in city govern

Let look at these two plans. Sioux City will have
simplfed her elections hereafter to ticket of five
Eau Claire, under the Wisconsin law, will elect only
every two years. In itself Eau Clares plan may be
good in this respect as Sioux City's.
In both cities these will be nominated by petition and
party lines will vanish This is good in both plans.
Sioux City will be able to invoke the referendum all
acts of her city commission. So will Eau Claire But while
Sioux City will be able to appeal to the initiative if the
council refuses to act matter OF Importance the Eau
Claire commission laugh at the peoples desires for
legislation. In this the Des Mones plan is good; that of
Wisconsin is bad.
If any elective officer in Sioux City proves false in
competent unworthy the people have the recall" by
which to remove him from office. Eau Claire will have
no recall Her chosen three removable only if they
get caught and mpeached
The Sioux City people may turn all their five commits
soners out of office the end of years by merely
fusng to elect them But under the Wisconsin, the
mssoners elected for six years, and out Of office
at time, one being elected every two years.
Under the Wisconsin plan with no initiative no recall,
and only third of the officers going out at time there
is sure to great corruption Eau Claire may not have
it, but If the cities of Wisconsin make the mistake of
adopting generally there is to be great corruption

Ny heart grew sad and throbbed
with pain as / thought of my beau-
tiful Christian Southland filled with
Oriental vandals-a people that
may till your soil and increase your
census, but a people who will not
amalgamate. A people who will
fill your land with all sorts of po-

California once had Sabbath; to-
day she is an open State. Ham

NOW meadows, in fact do anything

theosophy and blatant infdelity
stalk through this beautiful coast
land with flames of destruction to
all the true ideals of life.
Imported foreign labor is the In
spiration of all this vandalism. The
South now stands for the purest
Americanism, the best morals, and
the highest social ideals on the
Western Continent, but when you
have opened your doors to the
Orient and filled your land with
these foreigners, you may bid adieu
to the high ideals and lofty stand

the South. You say, but we must
have better than negro labor. Al
low me to say to you, as one who
has been face to face with so-called
cheap imported labor, and as one
who knows the negro, that the
"darkie," " with all his failings and
imperfections morally and other
wise, is the best laborer for the
South. I had infinitely rather have
him than any laborer I have found

DANGER AHEAD.
The WeeviIs are Disappearing,
but Look Out for the Punc-
tured Squares.

There is danger that farmers not
familiar with the boil weevil may
be deceived by the apparent "dy-
ing out" of the pest at this time
and not persist in their efforts
against it. The weevils that passed
through the winter are now rapidly
disappearing; but they have left
behind them large crop of pune
tured squares, which, if not de-
stroyed, will soon produce larger
crop of weevils than ever.
1t is of the greatest Importance
that fields be gone over at once
and all punctured squares picked
from the ground and from the
stalk. If this is done carefully
and promptly, and repeated at
weekly intervals, it will go tar TO-
wards 1nSurlng prohtaDle cotton
crop. The punctured squares
should not be plowed under; if
they cannot be picked cultivation
should be with harrow SO as to
pull them out TO the center of the
row and leave them lying on the
surface. When cultiyating the cot
ton the stalk should be brushed or
shaken, as many of the punctured
squares can be removed in this
way.
To be effective this work must
be done at once. It's object is 10

stand like a wall of granite in the
way of moral reform and progress.
The Dago, the Hindu. the Greek,
the Mexican, the Chinaman and
the Jap are all alike a menace to
Our social, political and religious
institutions. None of these people
are assimilable, and disturb the

distresses the physical body.
California Is in the hands of these
foreigners, who are the sworn
allies of the liquor traffic, the white
slave trade, prize fighting, Sabbath
desecration and all kinds of law
lessness. They are not here be-
cause they love our country, but to
make money and indulge their vi
tiated appetites and base passions.
They come to America as cheap
labor, but soon become autocratic
and demand such wages as to make
them improbable to their employ
ers. You can't hire cook or yard
man from their ranks for less than
from SIS to SIS per month. They
charge from s. TO 81 per day for
farm work. And from S. to S.
per week to laundry for a family of
three in number and more for
larger families. The white women
of moderate means have TO do their
own drudgery-cooking, washing
and scrubbing. My how often

you trade the negro off for these

you can make better citizen of

able to import from across the seas.

religious man and can be easily
Christianized and elevated to the
standard of real Christian service.
To do this you will have to give up
some of the race prejudice that has
kept you at too great a distance
from the negro. 1 do not mean
that you are to lower your ideas OF
social equality, but that you are to
look more to his morals than you
have done In the past 3rd. Be
cause the negro does as good work
as the average foreigner who re-
ceives from s. to S. per day for s
hours work.
Give your negroes as much for
their time as you would have to
give your imported labor. and take
hold of him for his moral uplift as
you would have to do with your
foreign labor or soon be destroyed
by him, and you will have better
laborer and citizen in the negro
than in any of the laborers that 1
have seen in California.
You owe your moral strides in
the South to the absence of a for

Dear Editor:
On the 31st day of October, 1904,
bade farewell to dear old Missis-
sippi and boarded the train for Cal
ifornia. On the 23rd day of the
following December found my
self in San Jose, the garden city of
the state. Although it was dead
of winter, the earth was covered
with her carpet of green, and the
air was fragrant with the perfume
of flowers. Many things attracted
my attention, but that which i'm
pressed me most was the many
foreign tongues 1 heard and the
many foreign names l saw in the
papers. When I picked up the
morning daily to see ''who was
who, and what was what" in the
city of flowers, you may imagine
my discomfort when l found that
three names out of every four were
foreign names that I could not
pronounce, no matter how I twist
ed my tongue. not only felt that
I was a stranger in strange land,
but a stranger in a foreign land.
Soon after my arrival in San
lose I identified myself with reform
work, for I felt that this land of
sunshine and flowers must be re-
deemed and saved for Christ. I
discovered as 1 moved upon the
strongholds of sin, that the saloon,
the dive and the house of i'll fame
were traceable to this foreign ele-
