I'VE must have unskilled labor, !"
said Mr.. Bowers. Immigrants of the
past generations who have done our
heavy labor are graduating into the
skilled class. Their children refuse
to touch the pick and shovel. The
work must be done. Only Japan and
CHINA can furnish the labor. There.
fore Japanese and Chinese will come,
coolies and all, and they will come
unrestrfctedly, overriding every oh.
stacle.
Il believe they will intermarry
with our people as do other immi.
grants. Frequently now Japanese
and Chinese students marry our uni.

DIScARDS WORD "NEcRov

The Boston Guardian announces
that the word negro" will not be used
IN its columns in the future-a wise
decision.
Editor Trotter invariably used the
word "colored" during the many years
he was in editorial control. The edi-
tor now in charge began to use
negro after Mr.. Trotter's departure
for France, but after two months trial
ne has found that it is not the correct
word and will abandon it.
Again we say, a wise decision.

JEWS OPPOSE A SEGREGATED
NATION.

Short-sighted colored men who are
talking about a negro republic" in
Africa, and forgetting to agitate for
reform in the treatment of 10000 900
colored citizens of the United States,
ought to know that prominent non
Zionist Jews from all parts of the
United States have sent with Presi-
dent Wilson to the peace conference
their objections to the Zionist demand
for a Jewish state in Palestine.
The petition was handed to the
President by Congressman Kahn on
February S. There were 9s8 names
on the petition representing the rich.
est and most prominent Hebrews in
the country.
The objections to the establishment
Of a Jewish Homeland in PALESTINE
are set forth under four specific head.
ings, the chief one of which is that
the Jews are dedicated heart and
soul to the countries in which they
dwell under free conditions"
"All Jews" the petition states, IRE
pudiate every suspicion of double
allegiance, but to our minds it is nee
essarily implied in and cannot by any
logic be eliminated from the estab
lishment of q sovereign state for the
Jews"
The petition also states that by the
large part taken by them in the great
war. the Jews have once and for all
shattered the base aspersions of the
anti-Semites, who charged them with
being aliens in every land, incapable
of true patriotism, and prompted only
by sinister and self-seeking motives.
1t says that those who would seek
the establishment of a Jewish sover
eign state and yet "insist on theil
patriotic attachment to the countries
OF which they are citizens, are self
deceived in their professions Of Zion
ism, and under a spell of emotiona
romanticism or OF a religious senti
ment fostered through centuries o.
gloom"
If the Jews representing to a grea
extent the leadership in commerce
and industry and the money power o.
the World are opposed to "jimcrow'
state, why should not colored men pro
test against segregation in every
form?

promises OF patronage While they loot
ed the public funds. Today in many
counties the commissioners will not
give a paper an official appointment
unless it's editor agrees to fight the
Nonpartisan league.
The truth Of this charge is proved
BY the fact that though there are
more than so papers in the state fav-
oring the Nonpartisan League pro,
gram, only Is Of the 159 official coun-
ty papers are not actively opposing
the organized farmers. Allowing the
county commissioners to retain this
arbitrary power is opposed to public
policy.
!. The new law will save the taxpay-
Of the staste more than 100000 a
year. The annual cost Of commits
sioners' proceeding and other county
notices alone is more than $160,000 a
year. Reducing the number Of Of
ficial papers from three to one will
save two-thirds Of this amount and al
the sametime give more widespread
publicity.
People Deprived of Property
Under the system juts repealed, no
tices of foreclosure, summons for pub.
lication, estray notices and other le
gals could be published in any news
paper. Persons interested in these
matters often were compelled to sub
scribe to every paper in a county t,
be sure Of seeing these notices. Under
the new arrangement all these notice.
will be published in one paper and any
one taking that. paper can keep fully
informed on these affairs.
Furthermore, under the old system
it was possible for a lawyer to publish
a notice of foreclosure in some oh.
scure paper far from where the pro.
perty was located. This was an in.
justice on the person whose property
was foreclosed, because in many cases
neither he nor his neighbors knew
anything about the sale and this per
mitted the creditors to bid in tht
property at a low valuation. Hav
ing one official paper would prevent
sharp practice Of this kind on the par
of shyster lawyers.
The greatest benefit of the new Law
however, is that it takes the appoint
i've power from the county commits
sioners and places it with the people
This makes the editors Of country
newspapers independent Of lawyers
bankers and politicians. They will b.
responsible TO the people for their sup
port. This will have the effect of max
ing newspaper editors more fair hon
est and courageous than under the ole
system when to risk the displeasurt
of county commissioner was to in
sure the loss of patronage worth sew
eral thousand dollars a year.
The new law merely extends thu
principles of democracy into tht
newspaper business and there is nj
institution in America today which
needs it more. Unfortunately most o.
our newspapers, big and little, ar'
controlled by selfish business or poll
tical interests and the sources Of pub
lie opinion are poisoned accordingly.
