guard If these people, "unless restrained,
will soon own all the best lands in Cali
fornia,' at whose door does the fault lie?
Why not gobble up the best ourselves and
not 60 to sleep on the job, as we are ap-
parently doing? Enterprise is commendable
in us and deplorabe in the other fellow.
If it can be shown the Japanese or any
foreign government is planting their sub
jects within our domains or in territory ad-
jacent, it is our duty and we have perfect
right to object to their presence and use
every lawful means to defeat thir purpose.
But if the question resolves itself into one
of color alone, then we are not justified in
taking such drastic measures. Senator Phe-
Ian and other California men of national
repute may have something up their sleeves
that would justify their complaint against
these Mikadoites; if so, every loyal American
will stand with them shoulder to shoulder.

part in the schemes Of the white American

MONGERALIZING RACES

. lie DOCUTllo OIL tHo survival Ol IllC uCteSC
has been put in practice since time began.
The weak have always been the prey Of the
strong, and this "dog eat dog" spirit is as
active in civilized man today as it was in the
primitive man Of the dark ages. Every war
is fought for supremacy and for the preser-
vation of racial identity. It is not surpris-
ing, therefore, to find Americans-them-
selves an admixture of every racial group
enacting laws designed to prohibit immigra-
ton Of what is termed undesirables. - Un-
der this head, in the estimation of many,
come the Japanese.
Senator Phelan, Democrat from California,
proposed in a resolution a constitutional
amendment denying citizenship to all Jap
anese born on American soil. Had the
amendment been adopted, only persons
"whose parents are white, Africans, Ameri-
can Indians, or their descendants, and all
persons naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof
would be eligible for citizenship Much has
been heard from California antagonistic to
the little yellow islanders, and the whole
country has had to bear the brunt of a
localized slight to Japan. While it is true
that we want and encourage only peoples
who can and will lose their identity and
Americans, is it the part of good judgment
to make enemies of group powerful from
every point of view save numbers?
The Japanese are not good mixers. They
remain separate and distinct from every
group in every country. But their record
hasn't proven that they are troublesome or
disturbing element in any community. They
are not bolshevists, dynamiters or followers
of the red flag. Senator Phelan said: ''In
short time the Japanese will own all the
best lands in California unless restrained.
It is necessary, therefore, to deny citizen
ship to Japanese born on our soil and dis
courage their presence thus preventing race
conflicts and the saving Of the white popu-
lation from deterioration
In the last analysis we find ourselves right
back to the old scarecrow miscegenation-
the blue blood coursing through the veins of
the Caucasian must not be contaminated
with black, brown or yellow. Just why at
this late day this action becomes imperative
is hard to fathom. There seems to be little
likelihood Of the Japanese or the Chinese
intermarrying with the whites; they are too
clannish, for one thing, and believe them
selves SUPERIOR for another. The Japanese
will not only tell you he is the equal Of any
man, but in many instances will attempt to
prove he is superior; so to him a wedock
out Of his racial group detracts rather than
adds to his standing.
In the dark races of the world there are
millions upon millions-only an estimate can
be made of the number, perhaps ten times
as many as there are Caucasians. History
tells us they have had their rise and fall,
and all indications point to a return of their
supremacy, the japanese being the advance

Was there any significance in the state
of Maine going 10000 Republican and the

that the insurgent element of

with a statement of reasons why
they ought to maintain a separ-

'Our national treasurer, Mr..
McGill, was ! leader of the For

than half Of our most active
workers in this campaign are
men who were active in that Or
ganization. All but a handful of
the FOrty-eighters entered the
Farmer-Labor party convention
and helped to establish the Far
mer-Labor Party. They have
not quit; they are working with
the rest of us to build a party
for the workers with hand and
