The Japanese FURRY.

In statement by the Governor OF
California, whose tone is as clear a.
il struck from silver bell, it is
pointed out that California is not the
only State which would protect it,
self from aliens, in this instance the
MOngoliahs, of which the japanese
is distinct type.
In his statement Governor John
son cites the United States, Arizona
Washingtos, Illinois, Minnesota, Mis-
souri,, kentucky, Oklahoma and Tex
where aliens are forbidden to own
lands except on becoming citizens
or declaring their intent to become
citizens of the United States.
The term aliens in the sense ap-
piled by the States named and the
United States as we'll, has reference
TO the Mongolians and not to indi-
viduals of the Caucasian race.
TO such stipulations by other
States the Japanese have raised
no issue, but have become sud
denly aggrieved and aggressive
because the Californians pro-
pose to enact legislation as to
aliens which is and has been opera
tive in the United States and in sew
eral States for years.
AS announced by Governor John
son, the Californians intend to enact
such laws of restraint as will ope-
rate to the protection against the
aggression of the Mongolians.
In the face of the experience OF
the States west of the Rocky Noun
tains with the Mongolians, we may
understand their unwlilingness to
grant any rights or privileges, as
owners of lands, to the individuals
who are ineligible to citizenship.
II would seem that this sudden
furry of the Japanese is suggested
through their excessive presumption
and inordinate vanity which has
been aggravated by the too ready
condescension of the United States
Government.
If California is within her legal
right to protect herself by legisla-
ton which is not in contravention of
the laws Of the United States, then
that right should not be abridged or
curtailed by any action of the Fed
eral Government.
A show of determination by the
United States to maintain the right
may be sufficient to cool the ardor OF
1.-THE little brown men, who, yet
flushed with their success over Rus
STA, presume to dictate the policy OF
the United States and the States of
the Union in providing legislative
means that must protect them from
Monaghan aggression.
