a few years the Japanese population
will dominate the whites, as has taken
place in the Hawaiian islands. In CAL
ifornia most of the activities in which
the Japanese are engaged is farming.
gardening and fruit raising. 1t has be-
come so that the population of the
state is dependant largely upon the
products of the Japs. and if the source
of supply coming through Japanese
efforts is cut off there must be others
to take up that line of work. However,
this Japanese problem must be met
and solved. the orient and occident
will not amalgamate. and the Jap and
Chinaman are not desirable additions
to the population. California is not
alone threatened with this plague o..
Japs. They are getting a strong foot
hold all over the pas They must BE-
given credit for industry, frugality
and thriftiness. Taken as a mass they
are law abiding and give the authori-
ties but little trouble. But they are an
element that will not fuse with he
European, their presence threatens
friction and a further influx of that
people should be drastically restricted
TO prevent future trouble that would
create complications with a nation
jealous of its rights and that has
proved by accomplishment That i.
would be a dangerous enemy.

signs of the times point t o the neces-
sity of republicans and democrats
combining to saw the state from the
curse that has fallen upon and wreck
ed the prospects of North Dakota.
There are so many candidates for gov
ernor out for the nomination at the
primaries on the republican ticket.
who have little thoughts of the inter-
ests of the state in their overweening
ambition for place, that it would be
easy for the non-partisans to endorse
some candidate on the republican tick
ct and secure his nomination, and by
that means a candidate representing
the minority could be chosen and sub
sequently elected. That was the way
North Dakota was carried. If such a
misfortune befalls the state it will
be the duty of all law and order ele-
ments in the state to get together, and
placing an independent candidate for
governor on the ticket by means OF
petition, elect him.

Our democratic friends when they
meet in national convention next Mon
day axe going to see as hot a time as
the republicans experienced during
the session q the late republican nat
ional convention There are numerous
compromises to D. framed to meet
divergent elements to- be placated and
conflicting views on $estions 81
national import. That convention Is
not to be as mild and smooth sailing
as a sewing bee, and many will leave
San Francisco disappointed and VIII
a crouch. If President Wilson's league
OF nations is endorsed without modf..i-
cations many democrats will be am
tagonized. and if the league is not en-
dorsed in its original draft then it will
take nerve to endorse President Will
son. Than the We. "nd d'y question Is
going Il be a disturbing problem to
solve. A large per cent of the delega-
ties will be in favor of a modified pro-
hibition law, while Bryan and his fol-
lowing. for he is yet a strong factor
in the democratic party that cannot be
ignored. will stand out for ratifica-
ton of the bone dry law. No, the out
look is not bright and cheerful for a
happy and united sentiment dominat-
ing that convention.

Conditions on the Polish front are
somewhat beyond understanding. One
day word comes that the Poles have
the Bolsheviki on the run, and the
next day that the Bolsheviki are
knocking the spots out of the Poles.
Really, the only authentic information
is hat the Poles and the Russians are
doing a great deal of fighting. and
that central Europe is in a state 81
turmoil. which has been continuous
since the close of the great war. There
may and must be much suffering and
want in that part of the world, and
yet the several countries are able to
keep large armies in the field supply
ing them with food and munitions
of war. If all this energy could be ap-
piled to peaceful pursuits the work Of
reconstruction would speedily take
place where reconstruction is so bad
" needed.

A fourth party is to launch candi-
dates for president and vice president
at a convention to be held at Chicago
July 10. under some name to be Sc
lected at the time. The sponsors for
this movement is the radical and dis
contented element of all parties. La
Toilette is mentioned as the possible
candidate for president. If nominated
that erratic gentleman. who came very
near if not altogether being a pro-Ger-
man during the war, will at last re-
alize an ambition that has been eating
him for years, and that is being a can
didate before the people for president,
and that is as far as he will aver get.

j. Ham Lewis, at one time a leading
light OF the democratic party in this

from Illinois, is now looming up large
as the possible nominee of the demo-
cratic convention as vice president.

better known for his sartorial out

public notice. yet he is a mar of force
and ability and one of the shining
lights of the party in which he has

The hustling. bustling little city,
and not so little. thank you, of We
natchee is credited by the 1920 census
with a population of 1924. which is
an increase of 2.274. or SCI per cent
since the census of 1910. moi a mar
velous, but an encouraging healthy
growth. which We feel satisfied will
be greatly surpassed during the next
decade. We may not be here to con-
graduate Wenatchee in 1880, but We
predict that in that time the popula.
ton of that flourishing city will have
passed the 10000 mark. Looking back
ward to the time when We first knew
of Wenatchee, or the site upon which
Wenatchee now stands, for in those
days there was no sign of a prospect
i've town at the place where a modern
city now attracts the attention and
wins the praise of the traveller. we
a only consider the growth of that
place remarkable. The chief feature
of interest to visitors from the nearby
country at that time was the orchard
az Philip Miller, and possibly not so
much the orchard as a cool under
ground retreat where the said Miller
had stocked in abundance cordials OF
tempting taste with a kick that is for
eign to any fluids now in general cir
culation, whieb-he had extracted from
the fruits of his orchard and which
like the dodo and the b~uffafSSis an
extinct attraction in Washington, 1n-
less you have a heavy bank account
and are on familiar terms with tina,
class in the community ycleped boot
leggers. Wenatchee showed no signs
of ever getting on the map until the
advent of the railroad, and for some
time after the hectic days of construc-
ton, during which Wenatcheo IN its
infancy was as wild and woOlly as the
most exacting searcher after excite
ment might desire, the growth of the
years ago the population of the preS-
ent frourishing city was only 451. 1t
was not until it was discovered that
the application of water on the sur
rounding lands would produce the
best fruit that can be grown that We
natcnee commenceu growing. and
when the big ditch vas finally put in
the hamlet rapidly developed into
something more ambitious than a
country town. Wenatchee is most for
tunately located on the west side OF
the Columbia river, nearly equal dis
lance between Spokane and Seattle
without a competing point within d
wide radious. In the curse of years
Wenatchee should become both a
wholesale center as we'll as an i'm
portant manufacturing point. 1t is the
center of a large scope of COUNTRY
that should draw supplies from h
hub, and will in years to come. We
natchee is far from being the largest
city in the state, but considering the
enterprise of its people it is the big
gest little city in the state, and if live
wires can contribute to the develop
ment of a place Wenatchee is going to
continue to grow steadily in future
years.
