BACK HOME WITH THE JAPS.
, There Is probably no one item that is commanding the atten
tion of the public more closely than the anti-Japanese sentiment on
the Pacific coast and to the American there is no type of humanity
so despisable as the Japanese who are coming to this country by
the thousands, and who are doing; more to ruin the welfare of labor
on the coast than all other classes of foreigners in the United
States. Some sort of legislation should be enacted without undue
delay to put a stop to the influx of those people as well as to un
load the Japanese population we have.
Matters have gotten to a stage where something must be done
to relieve the situation. It is not a time for heated agitation on the
part of orators of the radical type. There is, on the contrary, a cry
ing demand for the conservative element to get down to business and
r enact such legislation as will rid the Pacific coast and In fact the en
tire union, of Japanese.
This can be accomplished by the use of good judgment, and
thereby not involve the United States in a war with Japan. War is
undesirable and should always be avoided when possible and In
this instance there seems no good reason why anti-Japanese legisla
tion should culminate in a bloody co'nflict.
It is the plain duty of American citizens to protect themselves
against any undesirable race let it be Japanese, Chinese or Hin
dus; and the better class of Japanese representatives of Japan's
government must readily concede that the situation Is one which
should be solved along lines of conservative legislation. Japan is
fully aware that most of her subjects in the United States are an
undesirable class, and she should see it as a clearly defined duty she
owes the wortd, to enter Intd any treaty which will put a stop to fur
ther Immigration of her subjects to America, and to aid in ridding
, the United States of the thousands of Japs now within our borders.
ANOTHER BULLETIN ARGUMENT (?)
"Do the Tonopah people who are opposing county division re
member what many of them said when going fifty-two miles to Bel
mont, at that time the county seat. Didn't every mother's son , of
them, singly and collectively, swear by all the gods of war the dis
tance was too far for them to go in order to transact business at the
county capital and with one accord start an agitation for its re
moval to a- more central point? Now these same people ask the In
habitants of southern Nye to continue to travel twice that distance
when compelled by business to visit Tonopah." Rhyollte Bulletin.
' Ye gods! What an argument! Try again, brother; try again.
When the coanty seat of Nye county was situated at Belmont there
was no rattroad connecting it with other towns and the mode of
travel was. by wagon. Even the automobile had not made its advent
into the desert. Then again at the time the county seat was re
moved the population of Belmont aggregated some forty people,
. while the residents of Tonopah numbered some 6000.
i ." v' .
A number of Tonopah people, who, have gone to Pioneer and are
among the heavy investors of that camp are strongly opposed to the
county division -tfffair and state that they will fight against any such
measure wMch may be Introduced into the legislature.
RENO AND THE DIVORCE LAW.
-
Reno made a strong fight against the new divorce law which was'
defeated in the senate. Well, why shouldn't they? Whatever Reno
want should be granted for they are always out for the right, and
it would be a bowling shame for the legislature to deprive attorneys
of that thriving city from making an honest livelihood.
Never mind the disgrace the present law Is to the state. The
only fact to he considered Is that the sole practice of a number of
Reno's legalites would be considerably decreased, and then they
would have to study law for a living.
Cruel legislatures. '
The Ren Anti-Gambling league had better save their postage
stamps and kindly refrain from sending this office any more " of
their literature the junk goes Into the waste basket. This paper
is on record for "the lid off in Nevada." It is not our desire to en
ter that 'psalin-singing, calamity-shouting aggregation at present.
Let them rim the churches, and the people who so desire to take a
smile and stake a dollar on a game of chance . certainly have the
right to do so without any interference on the part of this bunch of
"holy ones" who think they have a mission in life. Gambling was
conducted U this state before this crowd of haloed curbstone poli
ticians ever thought of coming to Nevada and If they do not like
the way Nevada conducts itself why, move on. There are other
states.
Speaker Oiffeu'a make-believe ravings has caused an injury to
this state la the east that will take years to repair. It Is nauseat
ing even to the people of his own county. The Democratic cen
sure of the nn who has made a burro of himself throughout the
sagebrush !ad Is severe. Glffen's crown of "glory" Is now worn up
side down labeled "little me."
Nevada leglaUtora will auk the president to please open and
Maintain our ldl mint at Carson, and before he would have time
lo answer he to gtvea a great "upper cut" la the Jaw. It Is better to
pat a maa the ahoaldrr when you wish to accomplish some Rood
tbaa to go after alas la a boisterous and harsh manner.
Why doa't the legislature waka up to real economy and do some
thing toward Making Nevada's school fund a godsend to our farm
ing eontlngMt? lgislatloa of this sort would navo a teadaacy to
provo to voIt that our lawmakers are in dead earaeat about being
KMsnonilr.

NEVADA ROADS
BEING WATCHED
FOR FUGITIVE
BISHOP, Feb. 5. The two toll
roads leading across the mountains
from Inyo county to Nevada are be
ing guarded tonight by deputies arm
ed with warrants for the arrest of
A. A. Stanton, representing San
Francisco capitalists, who took a
bond on the Monster mine near Big
Pine about three months ago and
this morning disappeared, leaving
many angry creditors. Stanton is
most wanted by J. P. Fitting, associ
ated with Charles M. Schwab,, who
alleges embezzlement, and this
morning secured a warrant for Stan
ton's arrest.
Stanton sent his wife and son
north to Mlna today on the train,
but, realizing he was watched, sec
retly secured two horses, and, with a
guide, took to, the hills, presumably
headed for Nevada. Within half an
hour after his disappearance Fitting
secured a warrant and urged Con
stable Logan to take up the trail.
The nearest road from Big Pine to
Nevada Is across the White moun
tains over the Goldfleld toll road.
Heavy snowfalls In the mountains,
however, have completely blocked
traffic. A hleh Wind accomnanlari hv
snow flurries, it Is believed, has
caused the riders to go astray. f
Stanton has had many men em
ployed on the Monster mine taking
out ore and shipping this to the smel
ter at Keeler. He kept' the returns
for the ore, neglecting to pay his
bills and refused, also, to rnnie
through with the royalties on the ore
due Fitting and Schwab.
