The question involved in the Cali
fornia anti-alien land law is not for
today alone 1t is for generations to
come. 1t is not a Japanese question
alone. 1t is a Chinese question Hin
du question. Korean question, a Syr-
ian and Armenian question. 1t is not
a matter OF the United States alone.
It is a Canadian question, an Australi-
an question, a South American ques-
ton, a Mexican question, South Af-
rican question, a New Zealand ques-
ton
1t is a world question. 1t is a prob
lem for all time.
1t is the local outcropping of the
greatest of world problems-the rid
die of the intermingling of races.
1t cannot be settled on the narrow
basis of any treaty with Japan, nor
on the local basis of opinion in Califor-
MIA, nor the feeling of the people of
all the states on the Pacific coast.
1t ought not to be adjusted by the
people of the United States in ignor-
ance. nor prejudice. nor with refer
ence to political platforms, nor the
demand for cheap labor.
1t cannot be lightly sighted off. 1t
lis an irrepreSsible struggle. 1t will
persist for ages. Its complexities and
its menace are bound to become near
er and more menacing as every in
vention in transportation and every
advance in commerce brings white
men and brown men and yellow men
into closer and closer contact with
each other.
There are certain principles of right
and wrong which enter into it. These

can be arrived at. must be made with

THE Wrong Way to- Approach the

lutely no advantage over the inde-
pendent retailer in so far as price is
concerned, because their product,
when it leaves the manufacturing de-
partment. must be charged to the SELL

price it would be charged to an inde-

The Selling End.
Having thus shown that in the mat

house has no advantage over the To-
cal merchant. We will now consider
the selling end of the question. The
most vital factor in retail merchandis-
ing is the cost of all miscellaneous
items of expense. 1t does not include
however, the percentage of net profit

The season is at hand in which it
a people to turn in praise and thanks
giving to Almighty God for His mani
fold mercies and blessings to us as a
nation. The year that has just passed
has been marked in peculiar degree
by manifestation of His gracious and
beneficent providence.
We have not only had peace through
out our own borders and with the ma
tons of the world, but that peace has
been frightened by constantly multi
plying evidences of genuine friendship,
of mutual sympathy and understand
ing, and of the happy operation of
many elevating influences both of
ideals and of practice.
The national has been prosperous
not only but has proved its capacity
to take calm counsel amidst the rapid
movement of affairs and deal with its
own life in a spirit of candor. right
eousness and oomity. We have seen the
practical completion of great work
at the Isthmus of Panama which not
only exemplifies the nations abundant
resources to accomplish what it will.

UNIQUE EXHIBIT
is ON DISPLAY
Elements Used in Making Lii
noleum Arranged Neatly at
Young & McCombs.

Unusual interest attaches to a limo
leum exhibit opened in the department
store of Young & McCombs today. The
exhibition is unique in that it is the
first display of its kind in the history
of the linoleum business. BY means
of an ingenious arrangement of
boxes and bottles, containing the ele-
ments used in making the product, the
progress Of the process, from raw
materials to the finished goods, is
shown.
The display IS from the firm of
Joseph Wild & Co, of New York City,
the first company to manufacture lin
oleum. For the present the exhibit
has been placed in the central show
window of the quality store.
Accompanying the display is large
card carrying a description of the pro-
cess of linoleum manufacture. Bottle
No. / contains the linseed oil, which
forms the basis of the linoleum mix
ture. The oil is boiled to thicken it
and the mixture is poured over sus-
pended cloth sheets. Thus through its
contact with the air, the oil becomes
oxidized.
The oxidized oil is next ground up
with gums, thus giving linoleum its
elasticity. In the next grinding, it is
mixed with cork. colorinS matter and
rosin. thus giving the finished product
its hardness. Thence. it passes into the
hopper of a machine which distributes
the raw liinoleum on burlap. The next
step is the rollers. where the linoleum
is pressed firmly and securely upon
the burlap.
This is plain linoleum and every step
in its preparation is shown in the ex.
hibit. lrlaid linoleum is made by a
cutting of various coIors of plain lin.
oleum and inserting them into a pat.
tern in much the same manner as in.
laid wood. Printed linoleum is finished
by passing the plain linoleum over
painted drums.
/ Six samples of the finished product
turned out by the Wild company &C
company the exhibit There is a sam
pie of battleship linoleum, the heaviest
made. another of printed linoleum and
pieces of plain illaid liHoleum.
/ On display card the history of the
Wild company is given in brief. Thfs
concern began the manufacture of lin
oleum in the town of Linoleumyille or
Staten Island, \. Y, in 1874. this con
Germ being the first in the field.
