MT. Editor: AssumiL4s your peTmis- sion allow me to refer to the Cali fornia Alien Land Law Bill from the California viewpoint.
 New England is the birthplace of one- seventh of our inhabitants: the United States is the birthplace of five eighths of our people, which is evil dence that we are neither vicious, ig- norant nor debased. We admit of no injustice to the Japanese; we intend him no harm in his present posses sions, but we intend that his insidious progression has reached it's limits. Japanese have their place, and they are well in it; but that place is Japan. Weak in population and political power althrOugh the seventies and early eighties, we battled for Chinese exclusion, battled alone but we won, and this present agitation against us will fail, because we are right, and insist on our views being carried out
 Kew England in all controversies touching the West has ever been on the wrong side of all the questions. Why New England opposed the pur chase of Louisiana, opposed the ad- mission of Texas and the Mexican war, which gave us our vast Pacific states. New England opposed the ad- mission of California and Oregon, and the speeches of your great Webster on this great question read today like the Vaporings of a disOrdered mind New England opposed the purchase of Alaska. New England opposed us when we were fighting excessive and uncontrolled Chinese immigration. New England opposed, so lately the admis- sion of Oregon and New Mexico, and now, judging by yours and kindred editorials New England can see no good in legislation by the whites, for the whites in an American state, as against the la apanese.
 Come out of the gra veyard of pref erence for the Oriental to the Occt- dental Come out of the graveyard of preferring the Buddist to the Christian. the Asiatic 10 the American. We prefer our alien land law to your Connecticut way of letting individuals settle it for themselves. Who has the right to criticize us? Surely not you. Norwich has deeds wherein it is for bidden for the land to be alienated to 2 people of certain birth, and of a certain religion. Surely you can't point Q finger at us. because your own hands are not clean. The Brother hood of Man" slogan never appealed to us, and doesn't now.

The approval by the lower branch of the Wisconsin legislature of a consti- tutional convention referendum seems to insure the holding of a constitu tional convention in the near future.

The result will be country wide interest Springfield Republican.
 Tn other cities squads of Boy Scouts are making themselves useful by des- troying thousands of nests of tent cat erpillars on the bushes by the road sides and wherever else the pests are within reach and not on private prop erty.

 The motorizing of fire departments brings forcefully to public attention. the question of speeding these yer million successors of the horse.
