CALIFORNIA LETTER NO. 7.

To the Editor and Readers Of The Trib-
une:
| have felt Of late quite inclined to
censure myself for spending so much
time and thought on events so long
past and people, many of whom have
long since passed off the stage of ac-
ton, while there are so many subjects
of present day Importance.
In this letter | am going to take up
one of these questions and beg readers
to give the subject their most thought
full consideration. 1t is a question of
vital Importance just now to the state
of California in particular, to the whole
Pacific coast. and, in the near future.
if not at present, to the whole United
States.
This question is, "What shall we do
with the little brown man, the Japan
ese ?" 1t is a question that is agitat-
ing the minds of the people Of the
whole Pacific coast, is stirring up the
whole Japanese nation and is gradually
working into the minds of the people
that live east of the Rocky Mountains.
BY many this question is considered
of even more serious nature than was
that of how best to deal with the black
race of sixty years ago. That was a
subject that was local and confined To
the United States. while this one ex.
tends across the Pacific to the Orient.
In dealing with the little brown man,
we find by experience in California that
they are shrewd. far sighted to then
