Are Japs White?

California came near creating an in
ternational imbroglio several years ago
by its treatment >of the Chinese, and
now its legislature has passed law that
no Japanese shall own land in thatState.
This is likewise Likely to create embar-
assment, and the question will be put
up 10 the Supreme Court of the United
States whether the japanese are of
Mongolian origin or as they claim of
MIXED Caucasian and Malayan origin.
As the japanese seem to make good
citizens and as they only own about
fifty Thousand acres Of land in Califor-
MIA the reason for the enactment is not
apparent. Certainly they can never OBJ
tain such foothold there as would
make their presence a menace. The
emigration laws forbid the landing os
Chinese into the United States, but this
Government has, by treaty pledged 10
Japan, equal and just treatment TO
Japanese in America even as Japan has
pledged to the United States equal and
just treatment of Americans residing in
Japan. California should not try to
violate solemn and binding treaty, but
the Government has no right it appears
to coerce the California legislature to
prevent it from attempting to violate a
contract
The japanese may not be as white as
the Anglo-Saxon race, but they are not
black by a great deal, nor as yellow as
the Chinese. This country has long
been noted as the one for home-seekers,
who are in earnest desire 10 better their
conditions, and the japanese being Pc
ing peculiar experts In many kinds Of
handicraft. ought to be especially well
come. and they are so far as we know
except in CalifoTnia.-W. P. Walton in

bow TO RESIST
Chronic Coughs and Colds.

Strong. vigorous men and women
hardly ever catch cold; it's only when
the system is run down and vitality
low that colds and coughs get foot
hold.
Now isn't it reasonable that the
right way to cure a cough is to build
up your strength again?
Mrs. Olivia Parham, Of East Dur
ham. N. c.. says: Il took vinol for a
chronic cough which had lasted two
years. and the cough not only disap-
peared. but it built up my strength
as well"
The reason Vinol is 50 eficacious in
such cases is because IL contains In q
delicious concentrated form ell the
medicinal curative elements OF cod
liver oil. with tonic. blood-buildlng
iron added.
Chronic coughs and colds yield to
Yinol because It builds up the weak
ened, rundown system
You can get your money back any
time II Vinol does not DO all we say.

An Appreciated Letter From
An Old Friend.

The following private letter to Mr.
Walton, of this paper, was received by
him yesterday. When he was editing
the Interior Journal. at Stanford, Mr..
Boone was frequent contributor to its
columns. and later when he had the
Somerset Times the splendid old gentle
man spent a good deal of his time in the
Office and was substantial friend Of The
paper He is now on a visit 10 his
daughter in the capital of the Old Do
minion and his remembrance of friend
Of a third of a century is greatly appre-
ciated:
RICHMOND, VA, April 10, 1913
Dear Ed
Thinking you might not
be averse to having line from your old
friend who has been here on visit to
his children since the 7th day of Febru-
airy, l make bold to address you very
briefly.
| feel to think you would be glad TO
know that the capital city OF your ma
tive grand old State was forging TO the
tile front by leaps and bounds. In 20
years or less, my opinion is that she will
double her present population and be as
large as Cincinnati or larger.
There are now no signs left on the
fair frontlets of Richmond to remin d
one of the scars and wounds she receiv-
ed in the deadly war between the
States These have faded away and in
their stead grand monumental piles OF
bronze and marble donated by love and
affection, meets the eye at every turn,
and tells in mute silence the story of her
brave defenders.
Right or wrong, no living man with a
soul in him can stand beside and in the
shadow of these silent sentinels, and
harbor an unkind thought or an i'll feel
ing for those who fought for the cause
that was lost.
Her banners are furled and laid away
her Generals nearly all dead and her
marching columns, many, very many Of
them, have crossed the river with the
peerless Jackson ito rest under the
shade Of the trees" with him. These
stars will ever shine brightly in the gal
axy of fame, and so long as men live on
the face of this earth, the record they
have left will be as beacon-light, let
US hope, to guide us in all the coming
years in emulating their heroism and
devotion. Search the annals of the wide
world, and for bravery and courage of
the highest order, where will you find a
counterpart for III | think, Ed, you
would look in vain for it, Since the
fearful war ceased, God in His goodness
has wonderfully blessed the Southland,
and there is no section OF our whole
country that deserves more from Him
than these grand people, who make up
its population.
Glad you have taken hold of the Gil
max, as | see you have from the papers.
Cry aloud in the wilderness land spare
not-make her, as am sure you will, a
powerful force in bringing all to a
knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus
Yours truly.
S. NJ. BOONE.

Only horse. and an old horse too. work
ing from day to day.
Only a worn-out nag, tbs true plod-
ding his weary way.
A horse that works, and works in vain
for his masters word of praise,
A slave that bows to the frightened rein;
beast, that the master fays.
Only horse; but horse with heart
a thin worn out old bay;
But viii spirit strong, he plods along
with an uncomplaining neigh.
A beast of burden by man abused, tor
tured with lash and with goad;
But a lesson in faithfulness courage
and toil-lhis worn-out nag Of
road.
Only horse-not brute-but horse,
patient, tired old bay.
The brute is the one that applies the
lash, not the one who receives
the fay.
His labors hard for his masters greed,
he endures the toll and the pain;
But the look of despair from his eyes
is prayer-an appeal to be
humane.
