of the most serious confronting this country today.
 Labor and Eating.
 T am not teaTrm that the Japanese will sail over with ships and take California by force of arms" con tinued MT. Baker
 The problem of our west is one of labor and eating. American farm hands are paid good wages and they eat heartily. The Japanese are flock ing into our section. They don't ask the same wages wanted by the Amer ican, and they live on six or ten cents per day. How can abie-b6died Americans meet such competition as that
 The Japanese 1aborers come in and quietly take their places in the Iaboring ranks in the orchards. vine yards and farms of California and other western states. They save nearly everything they make. The first thing you know the Jap laborer buys a plot of groubd and he starts to farming himself. In 6 few years he will have the American workins for him. The Japanese will be the landlord, and the American will De the tenant. "Of course when any neighborhoosl becomes over-run with Jaranese. there is bound to be an exodus O, Americans. What is the result? The farm and orchards become the pos sessions of the foreigner and parts of the Pacific coast will eventually become a little Japan.
 Jars Will Stick Close. Close study of the two nafionalities has brought us to the conclusion that the Chinese coolle Is preferable to rhe Japanese. The former comes L. America solely to earn money. When he gets 1t he is ready to return to China and become a wealthy man there. living in luxury for the balance of his life. When the Jap comes to America it is generally with the purpose of staying, and becoming one of us. He is shrewd, ambitious. penurious. He will starye himself half to death in order to get an acre | of ground that he may call his own and his plot of land probably will adio;n another plot owned by an ! American farmer. The latter seeing that he is sourrounded with uncoD- genial neighbors, E soon ready 10 sell out, ard the march of the httie yellow man goes steady onward over our entire sec ion.
 So far as immigration proper is concerned 1t is pretty well restricted. But the American people should nave the light thrown upon the danger of secret immigration. Japanese. by the hunc1es come in from Canada and across the Rio Grande They do not enter the ports but they get there just the sane.
 Same State Elsewhere. i We learn that pretty much the s9rne state of affairs exists in the Philippines and Hawaii. Away ont in the mid-Pacific this halfway place. the Japanese are fiocking into these islond owned by America. IT they are not checked they will soon occupy Hawaii in such numbers as to economically conquer the islands from within.
 Charges have been made that the last census does not fully show the number of JaTanese nodw on the Pa cific slope. Japanese land owners rave not listed the full number oi employed by them, ard 1t is believed that even some American farmers, prompted by the fact of their Japan csc Employes."
