No War With Japan.
Naturally trie talk ol war with
Japan is all jingoism, and a very
poor quality of jingoism at that.
Japan does not want any war with
the I_ nited States lor a great many
years at least, and in fact does not
want any war with anybody until
she somew hat reduces her I'lioruioin
national debt and gets industrially
reorganized. At the same time, the
bellow Peril as regards Japan is a|
very real menace. Thrs is made
plain by the report of the ( onunis
sioo? r-General of Immigration who
has recently retimed to Washington
from the Hawaiian Islands and who
made a special study ol the Japan
ese situation in Calilornin.
He says that the menace of the
Japanese invasion is not militaiy,
but industrial. The Japanese is
not like the Chinaman. lie does
not take a laundry on the eorner
and stay there until he accumulates
enough money to return to Japan,
but he comes with a readiness to
take any position however menial
that will give h;m a start in life,
and this once attained, there i
nothing in tbe way of trade, busi
ness or profession, that he considers
beytnd his reach.
The situation on the Pacific coast
where in spite ol their protests
against social equality they art; con
tinually inviting the coming of
Japanese. laborers is simply this:
The Jap comes to this country
and takes a position as a laborer, a
, household servant, or a fat in hand,
and by industry and frugality, tor
the nation possesses both in a high
degree, be soon obtains enough
money to buy the farm on which he
is workmg, or another in the iin
mediate neighborhood, to start an
opposition business as a blacksmith,
a contractor, or a mechanic of some
aort, or possibly to attend a profes
sional school and branch out as a
dentist, a doctor or a lawyer. There
is no denying that the Japanese are
a thrifty and capable people and
the experience of Calitornia and the
whole Pacific coast has been that
where they once gel a foothold they
stick and are soon the equals, if not
tbe superiors of the natives in an\
business or profession they adopt.
-tjOThe of the railroads in the west
are already replacing their laborers. |
their train crew, and their dining
and sleeping cars crews with tb«
Japanese employes so far as the\
are able to do it. President Jamer
Hill of tbe Great Northern is one ol
the leadr rs in this railroad move
ment, although he doubtless would!
deny it if the accusation were made
The id*a of ihe railroads is to get
as cheap labor as possible regard- !
less of the fact that the Japanese!
once installed ihey will not be loi g
in adopting the trade union system,
and they have this unpleasant
feature in addition to American
trades union traits, that they always
•trike without giving notice. They
may be considered an exceedingly
dangerous factor in American
civilizalior. Hut the danger will
not come in the probability of war
at any near date, but rather in
introducing into American life a
race of people who regard us as
oarbarians, who will never assimi.
late with the communities in which
they live, and who, all things con
sidered, are qu’te our equals in
acuteness, but she will never be a
reliable factor in the equation of
American citizenship.

The Old E,lm Tree.
As
I sat
beneath
an old elm
tree, the wind
went whistling by.
It bent its boughs and
softly breathed tollowing
with a sigh: I have lived
here for many a year and saw the
summers come and go. The spring
time with its bowers and rain, the win
ter with its chilling blast, when white with
snow and ice the skies are over-cast, in sum
mer time beneath my shade have children of
teu played, and oh, how oft beneath my boughs
have lovers reuewed their plighted vows and many
a time the old aod feeble have sought n.y shade
to smoke their pipes or ply the needle; and
thus it's been with smiles and tears I have
watched them come and go for three score
years, and mauy a tale I could tell of
what iu that time befell, but age
is now creeping o’er my head
and I fear my limbs
are getting
dead:
and
soon
I w i I 1
dry
and
decay
like
those
who sought
mv shade each day — Kx.
Following ‘‘trial marriagt n” the
latent thing has been introduced in
the New Jersey courts in the shape
of a petition for “teinporanp
