next session of the California legis
lAtHre will be called upon TO pass

grafton OF Japanese, and other Asia
ucs as well, and everything points to
ward an even greater fight than that
OF two years ago when an effort was
made to bar orientals from the state
Two years ago there was talk OF
war with Japan as the result OF pro
posed legislation which would pro
hibit the entry of Japanese coolies 70

In the fight and succeeded In stop

But before the matter was dropped
, for the time being. fund was voted
for investigation OF Japanese in Cali
fornia. This investigation was turned
over TO John ID. Mackenzie. state la
Dor commissioner, has been complet
ed and advance sheets of the report
which have been made public, show
some startling figures and go further
to prove the menace OF unrestricted
Asiatic immigration than anything
else has done. This report wifi be
presented TO the next legislature this
winter for adoption and then II is that
the demands will be made for rigid
exclusion laws.
And even in the preparing OF this
report, ii has been charged by the
Exclusion league, that the means en-
ployed to gather statistics were un-
fair. The league openly charged the
state labor commissioner with en-
ploying Japanese to secure the data
and that he purposely made II appear
that Japanese are necessary to the
development of certain products In
California in order TO favor the rail-
roads that need and encourage cheap
labor on their section gangs.
Ever since the last fight, which was
lost through the action OF the federal
government. the labor. union party
leaders, VINO are back OF the fight for
suppression of the oriental. have been
lining up their forces, pledging can
didates to their support and in every
way strengthening their position and
preparing for the struggle.
This work has been rendered easier
by new danger--the influx of the
Hindu With this class fiocking into
the country and adding its population
to that of the already large one OF
Japanese, the people, and the candi-
dates for Office, have been brought to
a realization of the danger And as
a result of this the Asiatic Exclusion
league. a branch OF the union labor
party. has not experienced great diff
fculty in pledging' candidates to It's
support in the proposed fight this
winter.
And the forces are already lined up
and everything is ready for a titantic
struggle in the halls of the law
makers.
The league has issued its ulti-
matum to those seeking Office at the
hands of the people:
"You must either pledge yourself
politically to fight for anti-Asiatic i'm
migration and anti-land ownership by
Asiatics OF you will not receive the
support of the labor party"

DON'T MISS "POLLY" TONIGHT.

At last the day for Polly of the
Circus" has arrived. Lovers of the
drama have been impatiently waiting
for the day, as all are extremely anX,
ious to witness this wonderful produc
ton. Judging from the advance sale
the largest crowd of the season will
greet Polly" and tomorrow all of
those not present will be sorry they
missed such sterling attraction. Try
and come out. There will be room
for you, and remember, everybody has
promised to be on time.
In Polly of the Circus" Frederic
Thompson has surpassed himself in
his efforts to give noval investiture
to the stage story of child circus
rider who meets with an accident,
meets and falls in love with a minis
ter marries him and lives happy ever
afterward. Georgia dip, the youngest
leading woman on the stage today, has
the title part, and among the many
circus acts that appear during the
three scenes in the last act is Little
Hip the performing elephant; the
Barlow pony show, and the youngest
bareback rider in the world, Miss Dut-
ton, who comes from the oldest family
OF circus riders in this country.

We, the undersigned citizens, who
are among the number interested in
the construction of railroad from
Bryan into Burleson county, can not
refrain from asking the cooperation
and aid of all of our people in this
undertaking. Incorporation to build
this road appeals to us from necessity,
and when completed it assures sta
bilty to our property values, besides
an annual increase of business to the
merchants and representatives of
other business interests in Bryan.
We feel that the undertaking is
large, but it can be easily accom-
plished If the citizens and property
owners of Bryan will join with each
other in furnishing the means, which
will not require any great amount
from any one individual, if each one
does his part in the matter.
The necessity of building this road
now is apparent to us all. 1t is up to
Bryan now to preserve her present
trade territory. Business prosperity in
Bryan is dependent upon this course.
1t is not out of place for us to call
attention to the fact that during the
past twenty years much valuable trade
territory has been cut off from Bryan
and gone to other points. We all re.
member the large cotton receipts and
trade Bryan received from Caldwell
and other parts of Burleson county
prior to the building of the Santa Fe
cutoff. When that road was con-
structed all of this trade was lost to
the merchants of Bryan, and that prior
to the building of this road the cotton
receipts Of the place reached the high
figures of from $4,000 to $4,000 bales
annually. Since the construction of
the Santa Fe there has been built and
in operation three railroads in and
through Madison county, still further
reducing our cotton receipts and cut
ting us out of a fine lucrative trade,
which had heretofore come to Bryan
annually. The only real territory now
left, and which has always come to
