The Crime of Our Japanese.

Two eminent citizens of the Pacific
coast states have at length presented
the Japanese sorrows Of those states
in mathematical terms. From them
the house committee on immigration
learns that the interlopers produce 80
per cent of the strawberry and canta-
loupe crops. so per cent OF the onions
asparagus, tomatoes, celery, lettuce
and cut flowers, 50 per cent Of the cab
bage and seeds. 80 per cent Of the po-
tatoes, 90 per cent of the beans and 10
per cent of the grapes and rice.
In this period OF disquiet many evils
are being brought into view almost
daily. Some OF them will be found
not TO exist at all; some will yield 70
treatment and some we fear, Will
prove to be incurable. Among the
latter let us mention the pernicious
determination OF the industrious Japa-
nese to produce something. A world
afflicted by scarcity. high prices. idle
ness and turmoil can not long be ex-
pected to tolerate a state of affairs so
sharply at variance with the estan-
lished disorder--New York World,

LowDEN LISTENS WELL .

Frank Lowden, speaking In New
York, seems 10 have made an excel
lent impression. First he avoided
the appearance of candidate plead
ing for support by announcement of
platform. Personally he iml
pressed New York with his own like
ability. What he mainly did was ia
make a patriotic speech without
bombast or effort TO advertise him
self.
One thing he said that seems to
have impressed the New Workers.,
the municipality must learn to gov
ern itself when lawlessness ap-
pears" 1t drought immediate com
parison 10 the minds Of his audi
ence between the Chicago mayor
and that OF Seattle, between Lowden
standing boldly In patriotic leader
ship at the head Of the state and
the despicable trucking Of Thomp-
son as mayor Of the middle west me-
tropolis. Doubtless Governor Low
den had no intention OF suggesting
personal comparisons but the public
Will be quick to make them when
questions OF suppression OF lawless-
ness and maintenance of order in
wartime are discussed. Lowden did
not attempt TO capitalize his war re-
cord or his courage in standing for
law and order in emergency since
the war closed but no man can es-
cape his record whether IT be one
like that made by the governor Iowa
gave to Illinois or that made by Big
Bill Thompson or Big Bill Haywood.
There is something Rooseyeltian
about the declaration that munich
palities must learn to control law
lessness in their own boundaries,
Right there the character and cour-
age OF mayors and police control
come in question. The comparison
between Chicago and Seattle is the
comparison between all towns and
cities.
The officials of a municipality
are the measure of its citizenship.
There is no escape from that. Sc
attic had a man. Chicago a ward
worker. One suppressed lawless-
ness with an iron hand. The other
begged the votes Of pro-Germans
and played for the political assist
ance Of the lawless.
Lowden listens good" He has
probably the advantage over Wood in
the middle west that Wood has over
him in the east. Slowly but as surely
sentiment seems to be crystalizing
about those two candidates.. Low
den's trip east and his reception there
has placed him as leading candi-
oae for the republican nomination.

Sheer Foresight.

A hard working farmer In Ohio had
sent his son to a good school Of music
so that he might receive the best In
struction from the beginning. 1t was
necessary to buy a violin for him. but
he was such a little chap that his
teacher thought that socalled half
violin" would do. The father. whose
resources had been badly taxed. was
loath to part with the money for the
instrument, but finally did so.
The lad made rapid progress and
became so proficient that q half violin
was no longer good enough for him.

thereby. (For instance. consider the
recent trick Of making shoes OF worth
less material and sending them into
Holland, with the lying pretense that
they were made in America. The pur-
pose, of course. being to undermine the
reputation of American shoes In order

goods.)

THE CITIES ARE LEARNING

From Chicago comes the report
that the police stations and the
brtdewell are falling behind. Bust
ness is not as usual. Seeking an ex-
PLANTATION the searchers are forced
to conclude that prohibition did it.
In New York the dispatches aston
lshedly stated that the Christmas
dlnnars for the poor and down-and-
cutters failed to attract as of wore
the proportion of those advantaging
themselves of charity turkey and
plum pudding being as about four
to one in past years. Looking about
there for a reason Ned York also
discovers that prohibition must be
credited with the responsibility for
this extraordinary condition in the
metropolis Of drifters and down and
outs. At the Jerry Macaulay mis-
sion the dinner was postponed until
evening for the reason that not a
man appeared at noon to assist in
the destruction Of 400 pounds OF
turkey provided by the charitable.
The celebrated Bowery mission usu-
ally feeds $500. It fed 400. At
Jerry's place where 1,40o usually
have fed less than 800 appeared.
Without doubt prohibition Ia re-
sponsible, prohibition and the op-
portunity Of work and wage. Pro-
hfhtion and the abolition of ga
looms however must be given credit
for the fact that men work and draw
wage. For many Of those who were
constant patrons of the charity ia.
bles and inmates Of the ja.lls and
bridewells were working because
they couldn't get booze. Yes, pro.
htbition Is responsible.

Hospitals.


mason City Globe-Gazette,)
A real hospital today Is vastly bet
ter, not merely than the worst home,
but, stranger still. than the best
home, as place for the care and
treatment OF any case of serious i'll
ness. For example, today the we'll
TODD seek hospital care as luxury
even in comparatively slight illness,
and, the progressive mommunity en-
deavors to place hospital facilities at
the service of the poor In suitable
cases, as a measure OF insurance
against pauperism and OF disabling
disease. Hospitals are thus worth
while to any community for their in
surance and their educational work.
So the modern, real hospital seeks to
educate the ignorant poor In first,
the uses of the hospital, and second,
In educating them in personal hy-
giene, and last but not least, also in
domestic hygiene which touches the
happiness and health of the house.
hold. A hospital is thus public
benefa ctor and safety-first institu-
ton to the citizens of any COM
munity.
III Is, therefore, not at all sur
prising that in Iowa large sums of
money are annually expended upon
hospitals and their work, and yet
Iowa is not as we'll supplied with
these necessary institutions as other
states. Some communities in the
state have almost no safeguard Of
this kind to protect the happiness
and health of their citizens.

THE LEGION AND IT'S CRITICS.

THE LEGION AND IT'S CRITICS.
(Des Moines Capital.)
In the Des Moines Tribune Of Dec.
"a, under the heading of "A Timely
WARNING" the following criticism
of the American Legion appears:
when so-called members of the
American Legion endanger life and
destroy property in riots against mu-
sicians who have been former citi-
zens OF countries with which We
were at war, it is not well that the
order is silent on the claim of these
men that they represent it."
This is the first time the Amer
lean Legion has been criticised eX-
cepting by Victor Berger and men of
his type.
Not q member of the American
Legion has laid hands upon a traitor
in the United States. The young
soldiers came home from the front
and were amazed TO find there were
dirty traitors in the United States,
and it is surprising that they have
been so conservative. They have
seen slaCkers given the regular pay
of soldiers, and have seen whole
lot of things which must have graf
ed on their nerves; then they have
seen comrades shot down on the
streets of a town in Washington
state. Every American is proud of
these boys. They are not Social
ed" members Of the American Le-i
gion; they are members Of it. Not
all of them were overseas, but they
asked the privilege of going, and
that's enough to certify to their pa
triotsm. The American Legion has
been more conservative toward
traitors than the union soldiers were
when they returned after the civil
war
