able to outvote the whites and all others
combined owing to their enormous birth
rate Even to-day they virtually control
legislation. Notwithstanding that the case
OF California Is In no way parallel with that
of Hawaii. where few white folk intruded
upon the many natives and are still far in
the minority, yet the possibility Of Japanese
at some distant date outnumbering the
whites In California all things being equal
is not so very farfetched.
Pro-Japanese claim that there are only
some 10000 Japanese in the State Of Cali
fornia; antis that there are $1,000 There
has been considerable singing of figures
across the continent to little purpose. It
seems. The last census II Is said, shows
10000. In the whole of America there must
be some 100000 Mr. McClatchy claims that
in few generations they will completely
swamp the country and destroy our civiliza-
ton. The fear seems unfounded. though he
is entitled to his private calculations.
How the Land Law IL Evaded.
BE that as 1t may, ones sympathies cannot
but be with Califor MIA on no other grounds
than Japans own plea that she is increas-
ing so rapidly that she doesn't know what
to do with herself. That most immoral OF
women who, notwithstanding she had no
roof over her head and only one shoe (no
mention is ever made of her having hus-
band), and still had so many children she
didn't know what to do Is not of the modern
type. She belongs to that barbarous past
with which Japan refuses to be classified.
And neither do wa wish to classify her thus
but It's UP to japan.
II the census taker and the census maker
are unable TO come to any definite conclusion
regarding the number of Japanese in Amer
lea, how much more speculative must be the
question OF actual land encroachment upon
California Yet the Calfornians claim that
the best OF their State has fallen and Is con-
tinuing to fall into the hands of Japanese.
notwithstanding that law was passed for
bidding aliens not eligible for citizenship
from owning land OF leasing II for longer
than three years, the Japanese through
dummy corporations have succeeded in OBJ
tanning control OF the best agricultural dis
tricts and in dominating the garden truck

gardeners. BY appointing themselves guard
ians to their own children they have bought

IL is not an uncommon matter in Japan
for a father in middle life who has been
fairly successful to retire, turning over his
properties to his children. 1nasmucb as an
cestor worship is a vital part OF Japanese
psychology. the generous" parent, tired OF
the struggle or eager for the life Of ease,

SO that on this one point of assimilation,
though there Is fully as much controversy
as In the matter of numbers and possessions.
there is possibility of unity, of agreement,
of willingness to work for the same end.
The Californian would not even object 90
the Japanese because he failed in struggi
with him man to man, because the Cali
fornian Is not a bad loser But what h
fears is that in this failure to assimilate
there Is a spirit OF superiority which lies
close beneath the attitude of humility. The
Japanese does not wish to become part OF
the community except in few rare cases.
His ways are his ways, and no amount OF
social pressure be brought to bear upon
him to change them. Both friends and enc
mics of the Japanese admit that assimilation
is a tremendous II not an altogether insur-
mountable problem. The difficulty lies not
In the Japanese as individuals altogether,
but I'm the powerful and uncertain policies
OF the country from which they come. japan
is virtually the only organized and armed
coloied nation in the world And what the
Californans see is not the 10000 Japanese
in their State, but the 60000,000 across the
water.
And what is II that they see over there?
They see a nation that has met them half
way I'm the Pacific, at Hawaii, and has beat
en- them in the game of human chess They
soc q nation whose numbers have increased
IN n proportion quite alarming to the white
people, who got to Hawaii first. And they
see that these floods come from a reservoir
which is yelling to such an extent that the
very boundaries of Japan herself are In dan
ger of giving way. Finally. they see that.
when here in the freer regions. the Japanese
commence reproducing in even greater pro-
portions than they did at home. The result
is anti-Japanese agitation
This is the cornerstone OF the whole ques-
ton. On top Of this need for room, and in
all directions, Japan has reared her edifce
OF expansion to hold her people. She has
taken her materials wherever she found
them. and the method by which she has
done II differentiates Japanese emigration
from the emigration OF any and every Other
people from whom America has received her
heterogeneous population. For from the very
outset all those who wish 10 think clearly
about the question OF japan In America must
bear in mind that are not dealing simply
and solely with people who want to better
their own condition. but with a growing
nation that sets her need of room above all
other considerations.

On the ground of self preservation. japan

FOR CLEAN SPORT

Phoenix, Arlz.. 7-24-2o. To the Editor of The Republican. Sir:
 What could be more wonderful and magnificent than the beautiful wrest- ling match pulled off by Saur and Grant Friday night? Their wrestling was as clean and neat as anything could be. Not a word or action by either of the contestants that a child might not witness. l wish I might say as much for part of the audience-some part of it was pretty filthy-calling out obscene words, etc
 Now when reformers are squealing about "clean sport" I wonder why they don't squeal for a, clean audience" |" The wrestiers conducted themselves as gentlemen-the audience did not What makes a noble sport dirty? Does the fine thoroughbred horse make the race track a thing from which to bar women and children? No, indeed eae horse behaves himself. It is the filthy men and women who often attend races and their vile language that spoil the noble sport of horse racing which in itself is but a test of speed and en- durance.
 It is the same with a boxing or wrestling match. It is not the con testants who hurt the sport, but that part of the audience which comes from low class-they know no better and strive to scatter their filth as they 20 along-spoiling the sport for decent persons.
