THE WHITE MAIN'S BURDEN We believe thai the President has made mistakes lately- One m the dismissal of the ncjrro troops and ihe other and more serious one in his treat ment of the Japanese ( | ui'stion in California. the I''i- The Jap question on - ulic coast is one not easily under stood unless one is mote or less familiar with the country. That it is a bitf question and one ir.uitfht with fjrcat danger is uni versally recognized. There was a time when the Chinese were the mcnancinjj : pee ple. The coolies were comiti * , ' ; rom China in droves. They were runninjr out white labor by the wholesale. They were uc- lustomed to small wages at home and were willing to work for small wages here. The result was thai California was swamped with cheap labor and Ihe while man was out of employment. Even to this day practically all the labor in southern California is Chinese labor. Because of this condition the Chinese exclusion act was passed by congress and the Chinaman was barred out. Now another proposition is en countered. As a result of the Jap war this country is being flooded with the lower order of Jap coolies. There are more Japs in Honolulu than there are people of all the other races com bined. They have been coming from the orient to California , Oregon and Washington in per fect swarms. They are driving white labor from the market and are becoming as great a menance as. the Chinese ever were. The Pacific coast is even now suffer ing severely. T h e situation there is far different from that of the Atlantic seaboard. If a Ger man , a Swede , an Englishman era a Frenchman lands in New York he becomes an American citix.cn , working for American wages and building American homes. But you can't make an American out of a negro , a Jap or a Chinaman. The race question comes in at once. The situation on the Pa cific coast is one that calls for the exclusion of the Japs or to turn the country over to them and their cheap labor. Consequently , when San Fran cisco was visited by the earth quake and the city practically destroyed , they looked about to see how the deplorable situalioi was to be met. There were no half enough schools to house the children. So the school boari met and passed resolutions to keep Jap and Chinese childrei out of school until there wer schools enough to care for th white children.

Even if treaty is the supreme law of he land , we do not believe that' he general government has any nnver or authority to tell Cali- ornia how to run her schools , f the treaty provides as con- ended bv the President we be- i < * ve to that extent it i * void- The contention is made that , ve ought not to offend the Jap- inese government. Granted. 13ut f it lies between offending that government and turning the ) eautiful Pacific coast over to oolie labor we are in favor of giving the offense. There should ) e some right solution ot the [ uestton. but no solution will be iglit that does not look to the ibsolute exclusion ol these peo- ile from our shores. A great many of our subscrilr rs heeded our appeal for the laymcnt of delinquent subscrip- ions , but there are many still to icar from.
