How the Japs Beat the Americans.

How the Japs Beat the Americans.
An unusually interesting story about
the japanese situation on the Pacific
coast is in the August American Mag
az.ne. The writer, Mabel Abbott, de-
scribeB how a Washington farmer
named Sylvester is ousted by his Jap
anese hired man. In summing up the
situation Sylvester says:
An the Japs get more work done,
too, declared Sylvester, expanding
with the unaccustomed sense of en-
dorsement. A white man'll throw,
say, SO many sacks of potatoes in a
day. At the end of the day somebody's
got to cook him big, expensive meal
OF meat to keep his strength up for
the next days work. A Jap'H throw
more sacks than a white man will, an
then nell go get him bucket of rice
an wash it at the pump an cook it
himself
the faces around him had dark
ened.
That's how they're gettin' the val
lev into their hands, Wemmick said
They can outwork us and underlive
us. It's a good thing the law don't let
'em buy land, only lease it. If they
could own land, I guess instead OF
them workin' for US, we'd be workin
for them"

Lancaster Day" at the Blooming
ton Chautauqua attracted not to ex-
coed ten residents of the county seat.
The reciprocity arrangement on the
Bloomington and Lancaster Chautau-
quas was the proposition Of the coun-
ty seat folks, and not even one mem
Der of the committee who proposed
the plan was here. They have a few
more days to make good, so we will
reserve judgment on the matter until
next week. However, we will offer
this ggestiOn-Fennimor has the
same Chautauqua as Lancaster, and
II there are any attractions on the
program that you wish to see or hear,
they appear at FennimOre on the day
after they are advertised to be at Lam
caster. We will ask in all fairness
after repeated demonstrations of the
same lack of consideration by county
seat folks Of their neighboring towns,
is it any wonder that there is some
thing OF a feeling against the county
seat in many quarters Bloomington
Record.
The Record, it would seem. has as
usual gone out Of its way to be i'm
polite. The Record assumes that Ian
caster is a personality all by itself in
stead OF being a composite of nearly
three thousand of all kinds of people.
This personality the Record takes as
being a mean and grouchy one. Re
cord you are wrong Lancaster, like
Bloomington, has it's public spirited
people, its stingy people, its good peo-
pie and it's bad people. But the right
kind, just as in Bloomington, are
greatly in the majority. Your effort to
place the town in a bad light before
the people of the county, strikes us
as childish and provincial. The reas-
on Lancaster people did not attend
your Chautauqua in greater numbers
on the Sunday you speak of was be-
cause very few knew that an arrange
ment had been made to exchange.
Most OF those who did know were
deferred on account of the roads as
heavy rain had fallen here that morn
ing which did not strike Bloomington.
You could have ascertained this had
you inquired The matter was unfor-
tunate but not cause for being in
sulting. Please reprint this.

Wainwright Ready to Serve.

Under existing law naval officers on
the retired list can be ordered to ac-
tive service. 1t did not require the law
to make all the retired ones work to
offer their services to the government.
Among the instant volunteers for re-
newed service was Rear Admiral
Richard Wainwright, one of the Off
GERS who was advanced several num-
bers for distinguished conduct in the
war with Spain.
Wainwright's part in the Spanish
American war won him renown. An
exploit of his written in detail is a
part of the navy records OF today.
When war was declared against Spain,
Rear Admiral Wainwright was a iieu-
tenant commander and in command OF
the converted yacht Corsair, renamed
for service purposes the Gloucester
When Admiral Cervera's fleet came
out of Santiago harbor, the Gloucester
was near the battleship Indiana, which
was commanded by Captain Taylor.
