Yokohama, February 23, 1911.
Evidently the treatment of Kotoku
Denjiro and his companions by the
Japanese government in their secret
trial and hasty execution has created
a storm which is only beginning to
gather, Mutterings are heard from
all sides-from schools, magazines,
daily papers and public speakers
and the condemnations are severe.
Now it appears that the Kokumin-
to, one of the strong political parties,
has discussed the matter and decided
to present to the imperial diet an i'm
peachment of the government in the
Rorm Of representation to the
throne. SO many big men are now
outspoken in their condemnation
that the matter can no longer be
hushed by political control, and dang
erous opinions are being most freely
expressed, 1t is believed that the ag-
!tation will not reach an acute or rev,
olutionary stage, but It will probably
result in decided modification Of laws
which permit such things.
The Japanese people have fully
learned the meaning and value of lib
erty and every attempt at return
to absolutism, and every incident like
this one can only result in Increased
demands for more liberal govern
ment.

NEGROES IN
The ASYLUM
WOOD PILE
THE ADDITION OF A COLORED
FAMILY TO THE FORCE OF
ASYLUM EMPLOYEES CAUSES
TROUBLE AND SUPERVISOR
DILLEY AND w. J. GIBBS ARE
DISCHARGED.

Because they were made to sit
downto the table in the dining room
with colored people, and because n
white woman was made to care for
the room which the colored people
occupied, 10 employees at the Asylum
Farm rebelled, signed remon-
STRANGE and agreed to strike, with the
result that w. ]. Gibbs and Super
visor Dilley, who seem to have been
the ring leaders, were discharged.
According to them the others would
also quit or be discharged but today
they we're still on the job, and likely
will be, though it is understood that
the colored people will leave, but
whether of their own volition or not
1t not known.
Now, that is the story as Gibbs re-
lates it; but there is another story,
and that is the one told by the asy-
lum authorities. DR.. Steiner admits
that Gibbs and Dilley were dis
charged, but he says it was not be-
cause they rebelled and protested
against the negroes, or participated
in any way in the strike, but for 9TH
er reasons. Just what these other
reasons were he declined to say, but
he stated that none of the others
would be discharged, as long as they
went about their work and did it eff
ciently, and that, 50 far, none of
them had quit. The colored people,
he said, we're going in few days,
but whether their departure is of
their own accord or not could not be
learned.
Trouble Brewing for Some Time.
James Lynthycombe and wife
are the negroes in the asylum woOd-
pile, and they went to work on the
asylum farm Friday-he in the en-
gine room and she in the dining room
According to DR.. Steiner, because of
the low wages paid, 1t has been diff
cult to secure help, therefore the
colored people were secured.
The appearance of the colored
people caused protest to be voiced
from the white employees. Gibbs
seems to have taken the lead and
Dilley to have been his right hand
man. A remonstrance was circulat-
ed, which was literally signed and
an agreement entered into to strike.
The strike, however, was never pulled
off, as the majority backed out.
Gibbs and Dilley maintain that they
were discharged because of their par
ticipation in the protest.

brief extracts to illustrate the opin-
ions Of the writer and his courage in
expressing them:
Everyone expected that the trial
Of the &c anarchists would end as it
did but when we come to Cnn-
slider the whole course Of the adthori-
lies in this affair we must condemn
it as hysterical, indiscreet and des-
potic Never since the issue of
the law permitting freedom Of speech
and the press has there been such an
attempt at absoluteism The is
sue of publications always known for
their sincere, conservative manner of
expression regarding socialism, and
whose object, as must be admitted by
all fair-minded people, was to in
duce healthy study and to create in
terest in great social problems, we're

tives always kept lookout for the

ciety of Education, or the World Of
EducatiOn) had to take down it's
name-plate AS regards the
method of conducting the trial much
dissatisfaction is justly felt by the
Japanese people -
"To attempt to govern the thoughts
of a population by police methods
ar1 by severe laws is entirely wrong
"a
Governments must always bear
in mind that since it is human beings
with reasonable faculties and hopes
of happiness that are being governed
any arbitrary use of power which ig-
nores this fact is bound to produce
trouble = =
while guarding the safety of the
state every government is obliged to
consider the rights and feelings of
individuals. Among constitutional
countries of the world there is not a
single instance where statesmen lord
it over the people as they do here
where the welfare lof individu-
ais and communities are so utterly ig-
nored as they are here ="
These are rather strong express
sions and calculated to make men
think. And the most serious phase
of the matter is that they are true.
The leaders in this campaign are the
best men in the land-men loved
and respected for their deeds-men,
too prominent to be hushed up by
bullying, and to an oniooker it ap-
pears that nothing short of radical
concessions will ever quiet this agi-
tation.
