Club DISCUSSES
WORLD QUESTION

At the regular meeting of the Fort
nightly Literary club on Saturday
night at the home of Rev and Mrs.
r. M. Laurenson, DR.. c. F. Stekl
took for his subject 1.-The Japanese
Problem in America" He said it has
been found that so far as the Jap
anese are concerned there is a gov
eminent within n government on the
Pacific coast-the orientals have not
been entirely divorced from the rule
of their native land. While they obey
the laws Of this country in a way
yet they are about as loyal, often
more so, toward the seat of govern
ment at Toxic
Not only does. the Japanese double
in population about every ten years
but they present a very serious prob
lem in the field of labor. Often just
as the crop is ready to gather, they
will demand more wages and unless
the producer yields he is left alone
to do the best he can with his ranch
of hops, grapes, oranges, nuts, or
other crops Often the Japs acquire
property and this has a tendency to
depreciate adjoining lands.
The Japs are pleasant, agreeable.
thrifty, alert, and in many ways av-
erage citizens, yet their habits, ideals,
religion, and customs prevent close
relationship with many of the whites.
They want to improve their condi-
ton, they wait tC' rise, they want
to spread their wings, just the same
as the white race.
DR.. Stekl gave no solution but
cleverly stated the situation by repeat
ing the voros of politician, in brief
as follows:
"A white woman married Japa-
nese.'
What of it," was asked.
I'm time there was a BABY on her
knee" the politician continued, land
there was the beginning of one of
the greatest race problems in the
history of mankind"
"Rising Tide of Color"
Ralf T. Runge gave review of the
book, The Rising Tide of Color" The
speaker said that for 400 years, since
the days of Columbus. the white race
had been the leading one in the
world. Some thought the white race
was now at the flood tide, the Russo
Japanese war indicating return to
the colored side. Mr.. Runge spoke OF
the three great races, the yellow the
Mediterranean, and Nordic and of the
part they are playing in the world.
With regard to the increase in pop
ulation it is a curious fact that when
the viii. : man curtails the ravages
