few weeks after their arrival while
others go into gainfui occupations
which displace whites.
There has long been disposition &c
keep Asiatics out of california schools
attended by white children, but the
legislature has dessted from causing
that, because of appeals from the
present president of the United states
who feared to incur displeasure OF
Japan.
The citizens Of the Gardena valley
in southern California have asked OF
the local board that separate schools

Hawaii Run by Japs
Hawaii is under the American rag,
but it has been practically conquered

anese, and they number four times as
many as those of any other race.
They boast IN their newspapers that
by the votes of native born japanese
they will hold the balance of power as
between republicans and democrats
before, 1888, and il is equally certain
that within generation they Will out
vote a combination of all other races
in. the territory. Their influence Is
already so great in advance of the ac-
tual voting strength, that they de-
feated a bill before the territorial leg
isIature in June of last year which
would force teachers in japanese and
other foreign language schools to-
know enough of the English language
and American civics and history to
teach the young American citizens

saws u. S. McClatchy, publisher of
the Sacramento Bee, a leading mem
her of the Anti-Asiatic association,
which has recently been organized and
has perhaps 10000 members in
California, seeking by peaceful meth
DDS to discourage land owners from
surrendering to Japanese and also
preparing to secure more restrictive
legislation:
what has already happened In
Hawaii is now in progress In cali
fornia. Look at Florin and Walnut
Grove, in Sacramento county, and
various communities in the Sacra-
mento and San Joaquin valleys, where
the white population has already been
displaced. Look at the orchard dis
tricts now largely dominated by Jap
anese, at blocks Of thousands of acres
now being colonized by them; note
their increased ownership of land
through dummy corporations and ma
tive born japanese under guardians;
see their increased control of the rice
fields; consider the Imperial valley; |
recall entire districts in the fine resi-
dence portion of San Francisco and
other cities from which the whites
lave been driven. Will we heed the

Babes Become Land Owners.
In the last ten years Japanese
births in California have multiplied |
twenty fold, owing to the Japanese
brides" brought in to breed children,
who help with the mothers in> the |
fields from dawn to dark. and also
enable the fathers, themselves not
permitted to acquire land, TO do so
in the names of the native-bor Jap
anese. One baby per year is the
usual addition to the Asiatic family. (
The japanese births last year num-
bered 1866. There are $4,000 such |
natives in California, while other
coast states have full quota of the
native sons and daughters increasing
like rabbits. The Chinese births In
California are less than one-tenth of
the Japanese. and their death rate Is
twice as large as the birth rate. The
japanese birth rate is between four
and five times as great as their death
rate.
The picture bride" as a mother
is cunning subterfuge for eyading
the intent of the agreement and in
creasing the Japanese population of
the United States. Notwithstanding
the fact that the Japanese females
are outnumbered by the males in this
country about three to one, while
among the white race the sexes are
about equal in number. the birth rate
