The Virginia enterprise. [volume] (Virginia, St. Louis County, Minn.) 1893-19??, 1913-12-05

The Enterprise has just discovered it must
pay an income tax. This is just one more reason
why it cannot become a Christmas tree at this
glad Yuletide for the many worthy persons who
would have it reel off free advertising regardless.
Propositions looking to that end clog the mails
of this and every other newspaper and if half the
money they cost were spent on the legitimate
article, both those seeking to get something for
nothing in the way Of advertising and the news
papers would be much better off.

= The Mesaba Ore suggests that when Governor
'Eberhart gets done going after the boot-leggers
who are selling booze to the Indians that he go
after the "brewery gang" that is selling liquor
to the thousands of blind piggers over the state.
How terribly impolite the Mesaba Ore can be if
it wants to. If the great, good governor of this
state were to do that no doubt the editor of the
Ore, who loves him well, would call him an in
CRATE.

A HOUSING ORDINANCE.

Mayor Murphy made an excellent suggestion to
the city council at it's last regular meeting when
in an arraignment of conditions in one section of
the city he pointed out the need Of an adequate
housing ordinance. Such ordinance is genuine
need here as well as in most Meaaba range towns.
The housing ordinance should provide certain
sanitary regulations. 1t should prevent the herd
ing together of humans in novels and barns as is
now the case unfortunately in some sections.
Stripped of it's sentimental phases it is an eco
nomic necessity from the standpoint of good bust
ness.
There is a price which must be paid for the
liberation of such conditions. Too often it is
an epidemic of disease which takes toll in NOR
tally and leaves behind it not only sorrow and
misery but widows and orphans who in some form
or other become public charges.
Disease is no respecter of persons, but grasp
ing landlord whose policy is to give his tenants
just as little as possible, for which he charges
them just as much as possible, has no doubt
very often helped typhoid fever, for instance,
to get foothold

DIR. F. P. Colgrove made an interesting address
at the bazaar of the Swedish Mission church last
week, which is elsewhere reproduced in this is
sue of The Enterprise. 1t should be read by
everyone interested in the schools of Virginia
Its dominant note is that without the co-opera-
ton OF the home the schools will fail of their
purpose in attaining the highest degree of efici-
ency in education. The truth is an old one, but
it was never more impressive than today when
to the business of education is brought the aid
OF liberal funds, splendid equipment and care
fully trained teachers. The schools of the coun-
try at large have never been more efficient than
they are today, they have never been better fitted
to send into the world men and women of the
highest type. If they sometimes fail of their
purpose we must look beyond them for the cause.
loo often it will be located in the home where in
difference, neglect and improper ideals attend the
formative period Of character and the critical
years Of youth.

SHORTAGE OF FOOD.
Serious Privations Follow a General
Strike in New Zealand.

Wellington, New Zealand, Oct 31--A
shortage of food and fuel with its accom-
panying privations for the poorer classes,
is beginning to be felt throughout New
Zealand a result of a general strike of
coal miners and lockers.
Work has ceased in most trades in every
port of New Zealand. In Wellington and
Auckland, the two principal cities, con-
tinued rioting has brought about the land
ing of blue jackets from British ships to
assist in preserving order. The blue
jackets are assigned primarily to protect
the men engaged in loading fruits on the
docks and to see that passengers are al
lowed to embark or land.
The struggle which has led to this ser1-
Gus state of affairs is trial of strength
between the employers and the Fedora
ton of Labor. The latter organization is
not registered under. the provisions of the
compulsory arbitration act passed in 1902
by the terms of which any person melting
workmen to strike or any employers or
dering a lockout without first going to
arbitration, are liable to serve penalties.
The labor upheaval began with a strike
of shipwrights several weeks ago. The
men demanded higher wages, improved
working conditions and recognition of
their union The lockers and miners
shortly afterward laid down their TOOLS in
sympathy and other trades followed their
example. until a large proportion OF the
organized labor of the dominion has
ceased work.

Japs Going to South America.
Although the emigration of Japan
csc to the United States has been
as the ''gentlemen's agreement" the
exodus Of emigrants to South America
is increasing. One of the principal
causes of this is the establishment of
the Brazilian Colonization company
by Baron ShibusaWa and other prom
inent Japanese for the leasing of
lands in Brazil. An agreement with
the Brazilian government provides for
the settlement of 1000 japanese fam
and a start has been made in sending
these people across the Pacific. 1t is
likely thai rice cultivation will be the
chief occupation.
The majority of the Japanese emil
grants are in Hawaii and the United
States, with South America and Can
ada next. There are 600 japanese
working in the rubber plantations in
Malay peninsula. Already there are
5000 japanese laborers in Brazil en-
gagged in the cultivation of coffee,
about 1000 in Peru in the cultivation
Of potatoes. 1000 in Mexico in mining
and 1000 in Australia. Official figures
place the number of japanese in the
Philippine islands at 5000, chiefly en-
gagged in the production Of flax and
potatoes, while there are 500 employed
in phosphorus mining in the Island
of Guam, which belongs to the Unit
ed States.

San Francisco, July 1S.-That the
%F1lipinos would be slaughtered by the
wild moro tribes if they We're released
from the protecting arms of the Unit
ed States. is the belief of Professor
dwight l.. ~Elmendorf. noted traveller
and former member of the faculty Of
princeton university, who has lust
arrived here after a tour Of the world.
PROFESSOR Elmendorf. who spent
some time in Japan. said that only
certain classes of the japanese have
SHOWN excitement in connection with
the American land question.
The present system of governing
the Philippines is a success declared
Elmendorf. You could no more give
them their independence and expect
them to get along than you could ex-
pect a baby to run a siXty.horsepower
motor ar. II we were to give them
wiped out by the Moros. Stay-at-
home politicians should back up those
who have been appointed to govern
rather than interfering. The idea of
self-government for the Flipinos is
asinine.
There is 10 question but what the
japanese are becoming very confident
of themselves. in fact. l might say,
conceited. War, however, is far away.
The japanese have not the money.
In discussing the question With a
prominent Japanese, ! asked him why
the japanese should expect the privi-
lege OF owning land in California when
Americans are not permitted to buy
land in Japan.
All he replied. but Japan is a
great empire while America is only a
republic
This is merely an illustration OF
the esteem in which the japanese hold
themselves. To many of them the
United States is on a par with a
South American republic. We should
be so prepared that no country would
entertain a thought Of hostilities."
