A SLIGHT BLOW, AT RACE
SPOT. HURTS ACUTELY
By Chester H. ROwell

Race is after ALL the sensitive thing. Witness the
Mexican excitement two recent murders IN the Cali

which it takes least pride its convicted criminals
Yet precisely behalf Of these, the Mexican govern
ment protests and Mexican workers riot Two Mexican
convcts killed by other convcts presumably in part
the outcome of quarrel &c. behalf of the most
worthless of their victims of the most worthless of
ours the Mexicans aroused.
Even so slight blow if it hits the spot, hurts
acutey.
1t is course the same sensitveness that make the
japanese the immigration bill acute The
Japanese have objection the keeping out of their mmi
grants They know that the important problems of
the nations will be made if there appreciate
immigration and reconciled to that .pCcy.
But when it is put raspngy grounds of race their
whole spirit aroused They prefer the false pretense that
is matter of protecting American labor from cheaper
competition
The fact that the Japanese leaving the cheaper
occupations and being replaced in hen not by Amer

New York, May l6.-One of the
most interesting sights in town is
the landing of immigrants at the
Battery. They step off the ferry
from Ellis Island, successfully
through the immigration machinery,
free to start their new life. The
sight holds something of the drama
of birth, or of marriage, or of death.
They come trouping off the gang
way, bent over with their luggage,
odd carpet bags, kits and small
trunks. They set their burdens on
the walk, stretch their arms and
legs, brush off their coarse, ill-fitting
clothes and look about at their
strange surroundings.
Looming above them are the tall
est buildings they have ever seen.
Nearer are four elevated lines con-
verging at the terminal. Across the
bay is the Statue of Liberty. y
All about them are the wonders of
a great city. but few of the newcom-
ers notice these things. Some of
them turn and look out over the
water, as though they were taking a
last look at the faraway homes they
have left.
But most of them look longingly
at the green grass in Battery Park.
They cross over to the green turf,
timidly as though they will be chas-
ed away. When 20 stern officer Of
the law swoops down upon, them they
step upon the sod and, if it be fair
day, they sit down. y
Great buildings and the rush of
commerce they do not understand,
but green grass stands for them as
the symbol of freedom and life, the
things they came here to find. /,

displaced in some places by cheaper
white men, is conveniently ignored.
Anything rather than touch the sem
sitive spot OF race pride.
The one thing the enlightened Of
the other races are determined to
establish at all hazards is that they
are just as human as the white man.
Oriental Race Problem Is But One
1t is question whether, in fleeing
the Oriental race problem, we have
not run into another. Except in the
branches of farming which they had
already monopolized, the Japanese
are leaving the fields and flocking
to other occupations in the cities.
The tradition of the American land
owner is that white men, will not
do farm labor. To be sure, they
have done it in every generation be-
fore this, and they are doing it now,
where they are their own employers,
on their own farms.
But they will not hire out to find
to do tat least, not for the wages
and living conditions he provides.
So, as the Oriental goes, the Mexican
is brought in to take his place.
And these Mexican laborers, for
the most part, are not in any sense
"white men," They are pure, or
nearly pure, Indian. They present
social, relief and health problems,
more than the Oriental, and, it is now
evident. they will present race
problem also.
We knew the Oriental problem
was too much for US. Will the
Mexican one be any easier?

proud. Five big box cars were
loaded with Dummies for the poor
of Denver. The hunters for the
big community hunt were in the
field early Monday morning and
many stayed until late in the eve
ming. The loading of the five
cars commenced early Tuesday
morning and continued all during
the day and until s o'clock at
night. Scores of men and boys
assisted in putting the rabbits in
the cars to be shipped to Denver.
Two of the cars were loaded
far beyond capacity that all the
Dummies brought in might be sent,
il was thought that FIVE cars
would be sufficient to hold the
results of the hunt without over
loading, but this proved to be a
mistake. Brush and the commu-
mites which assisted in this hunt
did themselves proud and estab-
lished record which will no
doubt stand for many years as
the greatest hunt ever staged.

assisted in making the country
safe for the farmer against the
menace of the jackrabbit. The

by the hunters and their assist

After the banquet the tables
were cleared away and a splendid
community program was put on.

cred that France should belong

that Frank b. Kellogg of st. Paul,

a position which he is well qua

just because a man is defeated at
