controversy. And if black should per-

would apply.
But in the East there are more tough

Argus
The above excerpt is truly the proverbial
clap of thunder from clear sky. No
man in Seattle, and certainly no publisher,
has shown more indifference toward the up
lift Of the colored population of this COM
munity in particular and the United States
in general than the editor of The Argus
and in spite of his past indifferences he
writes as no one else in Seattle has written
on the causes Of Grace rots' When
white men in all walks of life here and
elsewhere, give colored men in like con-
dition, the same public consideration as
has the above editor, then there will be no
more race riots and less race prejudice and
hatred between persons Of different colors
and conditions in this country. A white
man has no more right, according to the
laws of our land, to impose upon a colored
men than does colored man upon a white
man and whoever does it should be pun
ished by the law.
Anent the anti-Japanese sentiment. the
Star Of Seattle has endeavored to fasten
upon the citizens of Seattle in particular
and the Northwest in general, the unde
veloped agricultural conditions Of the
Puget Sound country would seem to indi-
cate that the driving of the Japanese out

most marked signs of human habitation
was the track on which the train travelled,
which was but a circuitous winding high

was seen. Persons residing on those lands
come to Seattle for the fruit and vegetables
grown by Japanese, on which to exist In
stead of driving the Japanese from our
shores those vast acres of undeveloped land
would seem to be calling a million Japanese
to their aid and assistance to become fer

Speaking about the Japanese and the

writer of the fact that twenty Years AGO

$50 per acre. The owners leased the lands
for nominal sum for five years or more to
Japanese to clear and cultivate the same

as thousand dollars per acre. The
Japanese is the most thrifty class of
human beings in the Northwest. not even
excepting the white man. From an agri-
cultural and horticultural standpoint he
holds the Northwest in the hollow of his
hands, Pullman Agricultural College to the
contrary Notwithstanding If by force of
circumstances the entire Japanese colony of
the Northwest would suddenly quit this
country, the actual citizens hereof amid all
OF their wealth would suffer for want of
food for the next three years And so Won

VERDICT HAS PRECEDENCE
OVER COURT JUDGMENT
jury Awards for Damages Must Not
BE Arbitrarily Reduced, Says
Supreme Tribunal.
OPINION BY JUDGE BURKs
a. B. Taylor Receives Original $1O,-
600 Allowed Him for Injuries Re
ccivcd While in the Employ of
Du Pont Company.

Jury verdicts and not the subsequent
Judgment of the court will stand here
after in damage suits. unless the award
be so obviously excessive as to evinco
beyond n doubt passion or prejudice
on the jury's part. according to an
opinion Of the Supreme Court OF Ap-
peals. voiced yesterday by Judge Mar
tin Il. Burks.
The case under discussion was that
of ~. Is. Taylor, who was awarded in
tho Circuit Court of Prince George
County the sum Of $4,000 for injuries
sustained while in the employ OF Il. /.
du Pont de Nemours e Co. Taylor was
allowed $4,000 by the jury. The sum
was cut down $4,000 by the trial judge.
The Supreme Court affirmed the lower
tribunals judgment, but ordered that
the original sum allowed by the jury
DO paid.
In writing the opinion. Judge Burks
said:
1T is the peculiar province OF the
jury TO decide such cases under proper
instructions from the court, and the
court cannot substitute it's judgment
for the verdict of the jury"
Taylor held the position of labor
foreman. and was injured by coming
in contact with an overhead pipe as
he was riding on an electric tram
from one part Of the plant to the
other. He charged the company with
negligence. Evidence tended to show
that he had never before been in this
section of the plant and that he had
not been told OF the pipe.
