{.*s T California the- recent report of Labor- Commissioner Mac
kenzie on Japanese immigration is of no particular importance.
That is to say, the document is ho bigger and no jnore influen
tial than the man who. compiled it. But in
other states, Where Mackenzie is not known,
the report carries a certain official sanction
that might justify the impression that" it
means or represents a change* of popular
6entiment on the subject. In this sense we find the Detroit News-
Tribune writing on the assumption that California opinion has
Comparison of the attitude of the people of California toward the
Japanese on June 1, 1909, and June 1, 1910, is particularly interesting.
Only a 3'ear ago the clamor for exclusion was loud and long. The argu
ments of the agitators and the legislative bills presented in both houses
of the state legislature were aimed, either directly or indirectly, to make
California an intolerable habitat for Japanese settlers. There was a
demand for their exclusion from the public schools. The two races have
different ideals and different practices in their educational methods. Her
polite conventions seem almost ridiculous to us, and our brusque manners
seem extremely rude to them, so there was some good reason why the
two peoples should not attempt too much intimacy, lest familiarity breed
both contempt and misunderstanding, f\.
The writer proceeds to draw the conclusion from the Mac
kenzie report that the state of mind here described has given way
to a sense that Japanese labor is necessary to the economical de
velopment of the state,' and he adds: "We now see the Californian
welcoming the Japanese laborer, where a year ago he was driving
him out. Prejudice gives way readily to the interests of the pocket
book."
It is in the creation of injurious misconceptions of this sort
that the Mackenzie report is likely to prove a serious setback to
American civilization on this coast.
The Japanese question is not chiefly nor in any very impor
tant way an economic problem. It is to the creation of a diffi
cult and dangerous race problem that the people, of the Pacific
coast are united in opposition. VSentiment on this subject has not
changed in any way except to become stronger and more convinced.
We do not want to see the choicest territory of the United States
converted into an Asiatic colony hostile *in spirit to our institutions,
alien in temper and wholly unassimilable to our form of govern
ment. The Japanese, the Hindus and the Chinese can not be made
a part of American civilization except in the capacity of servile
It is the class of people who want servile labor who inspired
the Mackenzie report. It would be better that every vineyard and
orchard in California should go unfilled and unharvested than that
we should turn them over to a class of helots.
Injurious Effects
Of the
Mackenzie Report
NO man is closer to Roosevelt than. Gifford Pinchot, and in
that view his speech at St. Paul on Saturday has been
regarded as in some sense a message from the former presi
dent. However that may be, the speech is
a battle cry of progressive republicanism as
well as a plain statement of the position taken
by the insurgents, who are resolved to free
' congress from the domination of the special
interests. Quoting Pinchot: •
Because the special interests are in politics we as a nation have lost
• confidence in congress. This is a serious statement to make, but it is true
It- docs not apply, of course, to the men who really represent their con
stituents and who are making so fine a fight for the conservation of self
• government. As soon as these men have won their battle and consoli
dated their victory confidence in congress will return. I^^^
But in the meantime the people of the United States believe that, as
a whole, the senate and the house no longer represent the voters by
whom they were elected, but the special interests by whom they are con
trolled. They believe so because they have so often seen congress reject
what the people desifp, and do^instead what the interests demand <\nd
of this there could be no better illustration than the tariff \
The tariff, under the policy of protection, was originally a means to
raise the rate of wages. It has been made a tool to increase the cost of
living. The wool schedule, professing to protect the wool grower is
found to result in sacrificing grower and consumer alike to one of 'the'
most rapacious of trusts; .me
This is the meaning and cause of the prevailing ferment in
politics. The shameless methods by which the tariff was manu
factured to fatten private greed have aroused an overwhelming
sense of national resentment, and now the only hope of the repub
lican party lies in the. insurgent movement. .It took the highest
courage to engage in that cause, and the men who started it took
their political lives in their hands. As Pinchot said:
When party leaders go wrong it requires high sense of public duty
true courage and strong belief in the people for a man in politics t6 take
his future in his hands and stand against them. The black shadow of
party regularity as the supreme test in public affairs has passed away
from the public mind. It is a great deliverance. :.
Even now the insurgent leaders are being cursed and vilified
by that part of the press affiliated with the interests. But/that
process is no longer as effective as once it was. The more or "less
innocent devices of the hired literary bureau are becoming toler
ably well understood and appraised in this .country. V Roosevelt
is the father of insurgency "and the cause is a winner.
Pinchot

Insurgent Case
THE recent report of the Carnegie Foundation does not flatter
California medical schools, and in fact declares that they are
turning out an annual grist of poorly equipped practitioners.
, , , As a resu i t report ; concludes that* this
state 'has a great many 'more licensed physi
cians'than the community has any use for,
"and that efforts should be made to ; raise the
, . standards of medical education on this coast:
We quote the conclusions as to this state: ,
California — Consideration of medical education may. well start, from \u25a0-\u25a0
. the fact that, without taking into account the osteopaths— who "abound—
the state has now one physician to every 401 inhabitants, that is, inround'
numbers, about four times as many doctors as it c tiecds;or /caiuproperly

less than a generation; it makes radical measure's in 'the interest of sound
medical education not only immediately feasible, but urgently necessary, ff
This is always a difficult subject. It is a question how far the
state should interfere to regulate the standard of medical or other
professional' equipment. We never think of doing much in that
way for the other learned professions. Something is done to limit
the supply of lawyers, but : no£ < with very encouraging results. The
crop of doctors of divinity is suffered- to run wild. Any school
equipped with a transit level is permitted to turn loose" a steady
stream of civil engineers' on an unsuspecting, public. \u25a0 -
The truth is that lay supervision of professional' schools is
effectively impossible, and medical men are so widely divided in
opinion among themselves that professional supervision often be
comes an affair of quarrels or politics." It is doubtless a public
misfortune that instead of having one or .two strong and well
equipped schools we have a dozen or more weak: institutions; but
it seems as if this condition were likely to continue as long as
medical education remains a commercial proposition worked for
the tuition fees that it pays. . \u25a0".-
The opportunity lies open for some- philanthropist to endow
a great medical school rich enough to be able to dispense with
the heavy fees now exacted.
THE Santa Barbara Independent finds matter for remark in
the novel but' apparently rigid- press censorship in force,, or
at least attempted, in Washington, and quotes in illustration
the recent order of the director of the geolo
gicaj survey to his subordinates as follows :
Rule 2. That no interview shall be granted
without securing from the person soliciting the °
same a promise that he will, before submitting:
the material ,to his publication office, present '
a copy ot ins manuscript to the director (George Otis Smith)' for
approval; and, further, that in case any such promise is viQlated, the 1
incident shall be made a matter of record, and future-interviews shall be
denied to the person guilty of such violation. - ;
This is an example of the disease known as officialism in its
most acute form. Penalties are provided for infraction of the rule
and machinery is installed- to prevent public knowledge of the
public's business as far as that , can be accomplished.^ The - samem c
policy governs the other departments and the -Independent goes

WILLIAM FORD NICHOLS
Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese; of
California -
Editor Call: In a cemetery near a
well known eastern city there is said
to be an epitaph as follows:
v V "Here lies ":\u25a0..* '. '.'.!\u25a0.•: l' •."".'.. ".'.%'.;.
"Who came to this city and died -
For the benefit of , His health."
, The : unconscious humor of the mal
arrangement of -'words in the para
graph "perhaps expresses a sentiment
which .is just now. a. good deal In the
ajr. about: the moral conditions of our
fair : — as I ever- believe it really at
heart— city. ; .The: national notoriety -of
our civic misdoing,- the immoralities
which rray be -move flaunting * here,
though not necessarily more formidable,
than in-other cities' of- the metropolitan
class, the "general readiness to stir; up
strife over personal and local issues,
these and like Indictments" against: a
whole city have put oTir American pub
lic somewhat -in that- mood 'toward us
which. Is, best: described* as one in the
street term "to jurnp'^on" Sari Francisco.
In other'^word6 our moral health as a
city is i rated as about : equivalent to
moral' death or worse. /;. And now as a
finishing touch to- our '<. epitaphV I comes
the immedjate prospect of heavy pugi
listic decoration in black and white,
gory with red; and thisj too, on the, day
we celebrate for that independence for
which : our forefathers "bled in a de
cidedly different way. Again we seem
to bid. for the world's opinion that any
who enter here had better abandon hope
and die, for the benefit of their moral
health.
It is pretty bad anß St. Francis might
well frown at the things that are done
in. bis: name. And. little wonder is It
that every legal resource is trfed and
every citizen who believes that he is
the .citizen of "no mean city", should
speak.out his mind strongly to stop the
impending spectacle. As Grand Army
men try to save their "memorial day"
from ignoble uses, so a- healthy national
sentiment revolts at such- an observ
ance of our nation"s birthday. Some
thing yet may possibly save us from
it. But as so far a prompt- non pos
sumus has come over all the stated
processes of injunction, and humanity
at large has a sort of barbaric interest
in seeing men pummel each other into
subjects for shambles and our sporting
constituencies the world over have so
much at stake and San Francisco has
always inherited something of a fes
tive spirits which loves a combat, the
outlook is not very hopeful for a
"quiet fourth" hereabouts.
That apparently being the case at this
writing denunciation and plaint and
wall do not disturb the promoters a
bit;/ .They fear troubles of their own
more than troubles that, can be made
for them here. They are more con
cerned, in the number of rounds' the
contest will last than they are in the
protests from one quarter and another
that are going the rounds. They are
not- lying 'awake nights to think up
ways to. impress upon the husky prin
cipals the difference between a boxing
contest and weltering blows to a finish.
No,: let us not be under any delusions.
They are not. Secure from interfer r
ence by the law, - as-^they naturally
look at it, other interference js negli
gible: - And perhaps in this instance
it -Is. : : . :[V '\u0084 ;. : . ...-\u25a0. .-. ',
But there is such a thing as an out
raged sense of civic self-respect, which
in the long run' is not negligible. And
if the coming event" must have "free
course", and- we are to experience, on
the- largest and loosest scale, all the
inflictions of such a big battering prom
ised by "the extent of interest in it,
the racial elements cutting not a small
figure in this particularbout, the colos
sal gambling the world over, the skilled
savagery of two mixed up giants at
the highest point of excitement, the
waves of flushed excitement spreading
over the .thousands" at the ringside and
the thousand and one marks of the
trail; of it. all in the crowds.and In
fluences, there will be a fine opportunity
for civic v self-respect to come' to its
own again.; And it will, If our voters
and citizens will then come out, be- it
said, with half : the courage and clear
ness of eye on moral and civic lines in
many needed directions that /it takes
on physical lines to make two hercu
lean pugilists toe the mark and hammer
and mar each other as they hammer
and mar an American holiday and" the
reputation of our proud city.

SOME months ago the, sop of a wealthy family was sent abroad with a
tutor— a graduate of California— who was given a generous letter o£
credit, with .instructions to improve each shining hour and surround* his
charge with the comforts to which he had always been accustomed and
which would be suitable for the only son of rich and indulgent parents.
Upon their arrival in Paris- the. boy concluded that "Paris was good
! enough for him,'"even if there were other big'cities in Europe/so they rented
|an apartment in one of the best and most expensive neighborhoods, where
they established a luxurious menage. . Vy:
• The youth wrote long, interesting letters home" and v soon showed a
great advancement, under his learned mentor, who applied himself con
scientiously, to his student's lessons.
Longing to see her boy, the mother decided to make a flying visit to
Paris, and after a week's visit returned home, perfectly delighted with' all
conditions; and remarked to the family that "John's cook was , much better
than theirs." As months have sped by, at $1,000 per, he has shown a satis
! factory progress in his studies and has not only acquired the French lan
guage but has recently developed such a practical turn of mind that at some
future day in the world of finance he may prove to be a chip of the old block.
Travel during the summer months has been recommended by the ambitious
parents, who expressed a willingness to provide a tandem .motor cycle for
the pair, but the enterprising youth lias conceived the idea that an auto
mobile would be. more economical, and has written a letter ty his father and
one to his mother. ->
In the former, with unusual perspicacity for one of 16, he fijorcs otit
with* real figures the expenses of travel involved in railroad fares, of first
class hotels one always goes to when traveling "en train de luxe," the fiacre
or any conveyance which is always necessary for the American tourist who
is sight seeing/ the pourboires for attentions thrust -upon them, as well as
for the avaricious natives who grab the luggage despite the remonstrances of
the traveler. These all aount to a pretty penny, 'while an automobile costs
approximately 2j4. cents a mile per person, against 3 cents on the train, av^^
not only accommodates the luggage, to which they can attend without. as-A
'sistance, but gives them the privilege of following, their own inclinations o£
stopping at reasonable, unpretentious inns in interesting villages.
Their independence would be an important fact ta, consider — they could
speed through the, different countries, obtaining a moife. intimate knowledge
of the people and economize on time as well as money. In the end, he
argued, the purchase of an automobile would, prove an investment rather
than an extravagance. The second letter. was an appeal from a beloved and
idolized son to 'an indulgent and adoring mother — an automobile he wanted,
above all things. He depended upon her entirely to convince "dad" that it
was a splendid idea 'from every point of view, and to please cable. im?»
mediately.
On his mother's heart strings he played a melody so full of pathos,
sentiment and expression that; without doubt John Jr. has received , tho
coveted cablegram that should reward him for his irksome school days
in Paris. .

among the first of the
girls in town who

of the latter from Eur
ope. The girls are in
separable friends, and
Miss Keeney has been a.
guest at the Hopkins
home * at Menlo Park

Keeney will be among

Barbara. She will be
accompanied by her
mother, Mrs. James
Keeney, and will form
one of a group with
Miss Marian and Miss
Elizabeth Newhall, who
pass part of every, year

nitely for a further out
ing since her return
from the east . and
Europe.

delighted, whenever they
extended their stay. They
will be accompanied on
'the European trip this
year by Miss Abby Par

of the most popular vis
itors of the early sum
