Japanese Undersell
White Profiteers
By the Enterprise Press.

The Japanese business houses are
successfully competing on the West
ern coast, few days ago certain
gentleman entered Jap store in San
Francisco TO purchase an article, this
article was bought for $l.75; around
the corner the same article was on
sale, at a white store, for $500. 1t
is perceived that the willy Jap sold at
fair profit, so at the So sale price, it
is perceived that wholesale profiteer-
ing was going on. The Japanese are
selling everything, first quality and
accurate weight at reasonable prices.
They already have big business in all
mmodities, they are making money
and living economically, but comfort
ably. $500 to the Japanese goes
further than $500 to the white man.
The Japanese can turn over a dol
lar more swiftly and successfully than
the world famed jew and other eau
casians. They present strong bust
ness front and do collective bargain
ing at fair prices. A good example
for all.

MORROW; ECCE HOMO!

The following editorial is from the
Somerset Commonwealth, published
in the home city of Edwin P. Morrow,
Republican candidate for Governor Of
Kentucky, and shows the high esteem
in which Mr.. Morrow Is held by the
people who have known him all his
life:
The Democratic machine of Ken
lucky has been ON the run ever since
the present State Campaign began.
The record of the Stanley-Black re-
gime is hopelessly indefensible.
Being unable to defend this record
of Democratic mismanagement, an
undercurrent of Islander propaganda
promulgated by certain Democratic
machine politicians, aided and abetted
by the hundreds of useless office-hold-
ers, directed chiefly against Edwin P.
Morrow, Republican candidate for
Governor, has been going forward for
some time. Only recently, however
have any of them dared to make public
their ISLANDERS. Mat Cohen, present
Democratic Commissioner of Agricul-
ture, who is now the Democratic can
didate for Secretary of State, in a re-
cent public address, uttered vague
SANDER against Mr.. Morrow.
Methods of this kind are certain
evidences of desperation. We thought
they had been outlived in all civilized
countries. The cause must indeed bt
ttotering that has to be sustained b,
such unworthy methods. But, to those
of US who live here in Somerset anC
have known Ed Morrow all of his life
who have watched his career as sue
cessful student and brilliant lawyer
to those of us who daily touch hands
and hearts with him, who have seer
his daily life and know him thorough
ly; to those of us who know of his
devotion to his father and mother
while they were living, of his beauti
full married life, of his kindness as {
husband, and indulgence as father
to those of us who know of his bigness
of heart and the cleanliness of his
life; to those of US who know the mar
as he really is, this Islander propa
