Senator Thompson at the
Hospital

Senator W. II. Thompson of Gar
den City, United States Senator from
Kansas, was operated on at the Sa-
betha Hospital Thursday morning by
DR.. Sam Murdoch for right inguinal
hernia. He withstood the operation
we'll and Is in fine shape this
week. Senator Thompson was gen.
orally in good condition and with
his splendid constitution was not Ill
from the result of the ether. He is
feeling so we'll this week that he is
demanding telephone at his bedside
wherewith to get in touch with his
confreres In the political and diplo-
matte world. But DR.. Murdoch has
STAYED off the demand up to the hour
of going to press.
However DR.. Murdotk has con-
sented to an occasional mild game of
auction bridge for his distinguished
patient.
Miss Wilson at the hospital Is very
strict about keeping visiting hours to
the moment. Every night when It
Is necessary for Mrs. Thompson to
leave her husband, he tries to get her
to crawl under the bed until after
the superintendent has made her
last rounds.
When the Senator went up to the
hospital he was not Ill particularly
and able to walk without difficulty.
When the time came for him to enter
the anesthetic room the carriage was
wheeled into his bedroom to take him
In. Mrs. Thompson was inclined TO
object to his riding when he was per-
fectly able to walk into the room.
Indeed l am going to rlde,', her
husband said, II want everything
that is coming to me. If free ride
is thrown in, I'm for it." And he
climed to the chariot riding with SEN
atorial dignity to the operating room.
Present at the operation were DR..
Mathews, DR.. Carlyle of Sabetha, Ira
Wells of Seneca, Senator Thompson's
brother-in-law and . DR.. Kisne OF
Concordia.
DR.. Murdoch anticipates no comp
locations In Senator Thompson's
case. He will probably be out of the
hospital within three weeks. He has
a fine constitution, naturally good
physical condition, with life that
has been such that 1t augurs a rapid
recovery. Senator Thompson re-
celved kilograms from the Senate, the
Congressional body, the Cabinet, the
Pension Department and from many
other friends who keep the wheels of

ing .-Sabetha Herald.

George Bronson Rea Says She Is Arm
ing Feverishly Against Future
Conflict for Race Supremacy

But above the appeal to our national
honor rises the instinct of self pres
ervation. This warns us IN the most
emphatic manner hat equality Of the
races will within a generation trans
form the Pacific coast States into a
new centre OF Asiatic philosophy.
Racial equality with It's C~onConitant
unrestricted immigration could have
only one result. Within twenty-five
years fully one-haIf of Japan's con-
stantly increasing surplus, or roughly
1900. 600, would swarm into this prom
ised land. Once here, firmly rooted in
the soil, their customs, traditions and
philosophy would do the rest.
If in the face of ignorance, poverty,
congestion. epidcmics, commissions OF
nature and al! the combined economic
drawbacks which make for race dimi-
mutton Japan has doubled her popula.
ton In the last fifty years, what would
be the ratio OF increase If all these
obstacles to racial expansion were re-
moved? There are now u, 900 Japa-

slve OF those in our insular possessions.

II racial equality carries with 1t un-
restricted immigration and the right
to own land. it would seem to be only
a problem of simple arithmetic to call
culate what proportion of the national
domain and wealth would pass under
their control within the lifetime of the
present generation.
There are many otherwise well in
formed Americans, who, recognizing
the importance of the vital issue, Con-
tend that the solution TO the problem,
as far as we are concerned, Is 10 per-
init Japan to have her way in the ORR
ent, and by dominating China divert
her surplus millions into she fertile
and sparsely settled fields of Man
churia. With Corea under her con-
troll and Il practical su2crainty over
Manch Ltit and Inner Mongolia, ia
pans attention would be diverted from
America and the question solved.
Analysis will, however, prove that at
it's best this IL only n temporary solu-
ton or a mere tiding over the crisis
as far as America Is concerned, and
that we cannot escape the issue.
China Is already estimated to have
yer 400 600, 900 people. The pressure
OF the rapidly increasing population
cannot be controlled. Already this ir-
resistible expanding force is over

orable Americans. Ignoring the vital
underlying issues and seeing only the
question of American honor involved
in the treaty. there are those who
maintain that II California persists In
creating trouble by her stiff necked at
titude II would serve her right " Japan
did get mad and land troops and pun
ish her.
why should California he permitted
to drag the whole country into a war
ove such a small matter, they on
tend? II war should come as a direct
result Of California's determinations
against the Japanese in violation Of
the treaty, why let California take the
consequences.
All they can see is the treaty, Japan
Is right. Let down the bars, The
West needs a few hundred thousand
nor Japanese to develop its re-
sources, and Eastern capital Is impa-
tent for the profits, denied by the labor
organizations Of the coast. Let the
thrifty, sober, hard working and low
priced Japanese labor enter. and do
away once and for all with the posi-
bility of war with Japan.
