JAPANESE DENIED Y
CITIZENSHIP
United States Suprem e
Court Decides They Are
Not White.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Japanese are
not of the white" race and under fed
eral laws are not entitled to citizen
ship by naturaliZa ton, the United
States Supreme Court today decided.
The opinion of the court sets at rest
a vigorously contested dispute which
arose on the Pacific coast and has
wagrd there for years. ..
Associate Justice Sutherland deliv-
cred the decision of the court, it being
his first opinion since becoming a
member of the court. ..asa-.- %.
The Supreme Court held that the
federal statute limiting citizenship to
free white persons and Africans, o.
those of African descent, had not been
repealed or modified by any subse-
quent legislation and that japanese
are not of the Caucasion race. Tha
court affirmed a decision by Washing
ton State courts holding this opinion.
Decision as to the color" of a Jap
anese and eligibility to naturalization
as a citizen of the United States un-
der a federal statute limiting natural
iZation to white persons and Africans
or those of African descent was asked
of the United States Supreme Court
in the appealed cases OF Takao OzaWa
of Honolulu and Yamashita, of Wash
ington State. These cases have at
tracted much attention. especially on
the Pacific coast where the japanese
question is acute. 49,.
Ozawa contended he was entitled to
citizenship because he is white and
had nodded his life according to Amer
lean ideals and customs, He began his
fight for citizenship before the United
States court in Hawaii several years
ago, but his contention was denied BY
this court and by the federal circuit
court of appeals iii California. Ozawa
went to Hawaii, when a young man and
was educated at American public
schools. He married and his children
are being educated as Americans, and
are American citizens.

The Big Sandy valley is entitled TO
better passenger service than 1t is get
ting from the C. 4 o. railroad. We
are paying the same high rate for rid
ing in dilapidated anG Anticipated
coaches as people pay on the main
lines for comfortable and sanitary ac-
Communications. One chair car Is at
teached to each train. with mini
mum extra charge of rs cents. The
passenger traffic is so heavy on the
Big Sandy division that often many
passengers are compelled to stand in
the aisles. The same fare is collected
from them. AS before stated in these
columns the Big Sandy division is one
of the most profitable sections of the
g. & o. system, yet we never have had
equipment in keeping with this condi-
ton. No longer can the excuse be
made by the railroad company that
revenues are not sufficient to justify
better service. Both passenger and
freight rates are too high and there
is more coal business in the Big San
dy valley today than the c. & o. can
handle. Mines are able to run only part
time because the railroad can not fur
nish the transportation.
1t begins to look like the Big Sandy
people will be. forced to apply to the
Railroad Commission and the. Inter-
state Commerce Commission for re-
lief.
The NEWS believes its duty is first
to the public and therefore in these
matters 1t proposes to act in the in
terest of the public.
There is another phase of the rail-
road situation about which we are be-
ginning to hear considerable amount
of talk and criticism. 1t is said that
some of the train crews handle their
work in such a way as to give them
all the overtime possible. because they
receive time-a and a-half for overtime.
We have inquired into the details of
this practice and have acquired infor-
nation as to some of the methods
used. The public suffers because 9TH
er trains than those directly involved
are delayed. The cost of transporta-
tion is Increased and higher rates for
freight and passengers are sustained
upon the showing made. Railroad
men are serving the public and should
do their work efficiently and conscien-
tiously. Some of them do give this
kind. of service and they are to be
commended for 1t. Some way should
be found to stop the abuses, because
the innocent and somewhat helpless
public pays in the end

WAYNE COUNTY VOTE
W AS MIXED AFFAIR
ON NOVEMBER IT H
Republicans Elect County
Ticket, But Lose Heav-
lily for Congress and
Senator. ,.....

For the first time in history the en-
tire county Republican ticket was
elected in Wayne county on Tuesday.
All of the precincts have been heard
from on the county ticket vote with
the single exception of bragg, in Lin
coin district, bragg is Republican. by
IA good majority ina joriiy estimated
at 1907 and the returns from that pre-
cinct would only tend to increase the
Republican majority given by the 9TH
er thirty five precincts in the county.
The fight on the county tickets OF
the two opposing parties was without
doubt the most unique in the annals
OF West Virginia political history. The
success of the Republican ticket over
the Democratic slate was solely due to
the fact that all of the Republican
candidates were in favor OF removing
the county seat, while the entire list
of Democratic nominees were anti-re-
mOvalists. RemOvalist d em cra.t 5
scratched their ticket in favor of Re
movalist Republicans. The candidates
Of course were elected on a $3.50 vote
basis, while the county seat question
was determined by the three ffths
necessary for a county seat removal
As a consequence of this situation the
Republican county ticket was elected.
a singular feature of the vote cast
was the fact that although Wayne
county went Republican on the county
ticket. Nicely % carried the county
over Sutherland CRD for L. : Scna-
tor by majority of 1888 with bragg
out Lilly, for Congress. won over
GOOdykOOntZ his Republican OppOn
ent by 9j7 with bragg sttll out The
returns from bragg cannot decrease
these margins more than $50
The proposal to remove the county
seat of Wayne county from Wayne TO
kenova was defeated in Tuesdays
election by Il majority OF 636 votes.
Removals defeat was l66 votes larger
this time than in the last election,
held April rs, 1929. at which time the
majority against removal was 40. The
complete vote on the court house is
sue has been received from all OF the
SO precincts.
Notwithstanding the heated feeling
which attended the late campaign on
the removal issue. there was a CON
sidCrably lighter vote turned out Tues
day than in the former election. OF
the 1890 persons registered for this
election only 9,46S voted. In the spec
!al election last April the total vote
cast was l0,SOO.

THE DANGERS OF SMOKE

Smoke diminishes the sunlight and
increases the humidity during both
cold and warm weather, and since fogs
and humidity tend to increase the poi
sonous contents of the air, it is evident
that smoke must exert an important
influence on human health and happi-
ness. and efficiency, and must be re-
garded as problem Of vital concern
to any and every community. Not only
is smoke related to the frequency of
fogs, but 1t also increases the dura-
ton and density of fogs. The water
giobules become coated with a film of
black, sticky, tarry SCOT, which re-
tards evaporation. Many average SCOT
fogs reduce the light one-haH and this
creates material waste through max
ing It necessary to increase the time
and intensity OF artificial illumination
Representatives of the medical frater-
nifty condemn smoke in the following
language: "Of all the enemies Of ma
tional, racial and social health, none
receive, or ever have received. so little
as smoke. in proportion to its
