imported as the wives ..of resi-
dent japanese; that they are
married to them both by the laws of
Japan before they come to the United
States and by the laws of this country
after they get here: that the men claim
the women as wives, and the women
acknowledge the men rs husbands and
yet in a very short time.the women are
found occupying the tenderlVin and are
nothing more than the slaves, and the
willing slaves. of the men.
The marriage ceremony, 1t may be
added. is repeated time and again by
the same Japanese with different
women, under different naInes, and in
all cases the result Is the same. In
other words, the marriage is simply a
means of evading the immigration laws,
and the women cheerfully helps in the
deception. This Is not the White
Slave trade. but it is u brown slave
trade. and even worse in some respects
moral standing on the part of the
women
In that difference of moral ideas is
the worse feature Of this Asiatic immi-
grafton. The newly arriving East
Indian also is showing himself
Objectionable in his conduct towards
the white woman, although he is not
very numerous As yet.
Even if it had not many other
Objectionable features, the close inter
course between alien races, who have
not even moral ideas in common. is not
TO be endured. People who have abso-
lutely no belief in the sanctity of
marriage. who look upon the family tie
as of little importance 50 far as it exists
between man and wife. are not desir-
able immigrants, and the sooner they
are made to stay al home the better.

ENORMOUS PROFITS OF
THE EXPRESS COMPANIES

A merger of the two leading express
companies, the Wells-Fargo and the
American, is in prospect, AS indicated
by the sale Of the Wells Fargo stock
held by Southern Pacific. This merger
is not likely TO effect the public to any
extent, as there is no competition in
express rates. and they can scarcely be
made more c~xtortionate than they are.
Last year the net earnings of the
Wells Fargo concern were over So per
cen of the value of its property aud
equipments, and its income from invest
ments was 81, 400, 900 additional 1t di-
vided sci, 900, 900 of accumulated sur
plus among its shareholders.
Such enormous profits represent plum
der of.the public through mon oply and
excessive charges. They would be i'm
possible with a cheap parcels post, such
as it maintained by European countries,
but which tne Big Four express com
panies and the railroads have been
powergul enough TO prevent in the
United States.
The railroads are leagucd with the
express companies through community
of interest. and are opposed to cheap
parcels post because 1t would make
needful a reduction to reasonable figures
of the present outrageous charge for
the carnage of mail matters by rail.
With the mails carried at a proper
charge, and a cheap parcels post. the
postal service could be conducted at Il
profit instead of at IA loss. 1t would do
much of the business that now is forced
to the express companies by tho high
rates of postage on merchandise and the
restrictions as to size and weight of
packages by mail.
When One considers these things, il
seems strange that the people have Sc
long submitted to having the govern,
ment run by monopolists in the inter,
ests of monopoly.
There are nice persons who object to
the use of such words as robbery in
speaking of railroad and express exuc.
tons. But if charging the government
for a years use of q mail car twice what
the car cost is not robbery, what is Il
better numc for it?
What this country needs is not more
mincing of words about such wrongs,
but more plain speaking. When the
railroads hold up the government they
are just as much highway robbers a.

account of his failure to support the

qualified support of Taft Cannon Aid

Burkett made u speech in Washington
to the Nebraska Republican club. and
incidentally his whole plea was to
trust Taft. He claimed this was the
panacea for all of the country's ills and
would cure them all.

SPECIAL INTERESTS
REFUSED

The outcome of the contest at
the st. Paul Conservation Congress
is matter of rejoicing for all good
citizens. The issue was clearly
drawn. Gathered at that meeting
were the agents and representa-
tives of the Special Interests,
armed with the anticipated
weapon of States rights" to fight
conservation. But their attack
was futile because the animus that
prompted it was plain. 1t was not
question of States Rights vs..
National Control; but of Public
Welfare vs.. Special Privilege. And
at such meeting and at such a
time there could be but one answer.
"The new nationalism" has grown
too strong throughout the country
to be set back by such an assault
by group of private interests,
however powerful. The people
are demanding full measure of
popular government, and with this
goes the determination to stop the
exploiting of the public domain
and to conserve the natural re-
sources, that equality of oppor-
tunity for all citizens may be Sc
cured, and to do this through the
only agency powerful enough to
cope with giant, inter state mono
poles the federal government
