FREE PRESS STILL COLICKY, BUT
FAILS TO CORRECT ITS MIS-
STATEMENTS.

The Free Press last week republished
Its lament over the loss of the city
printing, but fails entirely to correct
its misstatement OF facts In It's first
article, as 1t also fails to explain how
It came to over charge the city when
1t was the official paper several years
ago. Should not such thing. IL IL Is
fact, furnish sufficient grounds for
ignoring bid made by the same paper
on what Is commonly termed the "cut-
throat plan," which makes no specific
bid but say "ten per cent under any
other bid" or ''ten per cent under
present prices on sameT' The Free
Press at first stated that ut would have
saved the city hundreds of dollars"
had former councils made 1t the off,
cial paper, when there were not hun
dreds of dollars involved I'm the total
transaction. The Globe corrected this
statement, but the Free Press still
lets 1t stand as though 1t were true.
Possibly the city council took into ac-
count that tendency Of the Free Press
to overcharge, which it seems unable
to repress even in deaing with its
friends, those whom 1t should consider,
and, after making due allowance, felt
that the Globes bid was not only the
best, but would really be the cheapest
In the end. This OF course, is by way
OF suggestion, in view of the fact that
the Free Press seems to be greatly ag-
gfieved because no reason appears In
the minutes Of the council why It was
not favored. There are probably other
equally good reasons, hut this, 1t would
seem should satisfy any reasonable
minded man.

upon 100000 being provided by that

agrees to add $4,000 to the fund for
the construction, making a total Of

FOUR BUGLARIES ONE NIGHT.
On last Friday night there were four
business houses of the town entered
by what the officers have strong reasons
for believing were amateur burglars.
The same parties undoubtedly were re-
spOnsible for all four offenses, and
while giving out nothing for publication
the officers intimate that they are fol-
lowing some clues which will possibly
locate the law breakers. The buildings
entered were the pool room of Edging-
ton Bros, where some $12. 90 In small
change was taken from the drawer;
the City Meat Market, where only
few cents were secured which had been
left In the drawer from a late sale
At the Miller Implement company's
place an Iver Johnson revolver with
cartridges and two flashlights were
secured from the stock and some SO in
cash from the till. At the Abrahamson

was turned upside down and the screws
taken out of the bottom to reach the

their country means everything. The
mikado is not merely ruler of the
people; he is set up on a higher plane

look on him as sort of demi-god.
"The Japanese have nothing in COM

not own land in Japan, yet they come
to the United States expecting to &C
cumulate wealth without any trouble.
The California alien-land law gives
each foreigner the same rights an Am
erican may enjoy in his land; there
fore the Jap is not allowed to own
land. Americans can't seem to realize
that these little yellow men are a

with desire to see their country at

to give their lives to advance it's stand

WARNS OF JAPAN
Hon. Joseph Scott of Los Angeles
Tells Notre Dame University Men
Of the Gravity Of the Japanese Peril
on the Western Coast-Danger Of
War.
Especial correspondence.)

Notre Dame, Ind, Feb. 27.-Hon.
Joseph A. Scott, of Los Angeles, Cal,
member of the school board of that
city, and prominent leader in the
Knights of Columbus, delivered most
eloquent and very important address
before the students Of Notre Dame
University Sunday. He presented the
view of the people of the West coast
of the United States in regard to the
Japanese question. He said as Cath.
olics we should love our neighbor, that

Christianity, and we should try as hard
as we could to root out racial differ

While that was all true, Mr.. Scott
said, persons, in other parts of the
United States had only faint idea OF
what the people on the west coast had
to contend with. Jingos were shout
ing war, and lingo papers were urging
war with certain European power
over blockade difficulties, but they did
not seem to consider what a predica.
ment we might be in on the west coast
if certain things which the people OF
the west coast suspect may come to
pass.
Among other things he said:
