T - II AUI1COI U 1 IfUO Ai.OI. SCHOOL EXCLUSION A MERE INCIDENT Hawaiian Island Overrun by the Llttla Brawn Men Similar Mta aeln Conditions roared on the Coast. Tha exclusion of Japanese pupils from the schools of the whites In Ban Francisco and their restriction to schools provided for Asiatics exclusively proved of sufficient Importance to call out a dlplomatio pro test from Japan and a discussion of our relations with Japan In the president's message. Trifling as the school incident up- pears at a distance In It lies elements of danger to American trade relations with the orient. Behind the Incident Is a steadily growing feeling among Callfor nlans In favor of restricting the immigra tion of Japanese to the United States. Segregation in the schools of Ban Fran cisco la but a manifestation of the deeper purpose. An average of 1,600 Japanese lund at San Francisco every month. It Is esti mated that 0,000 a month land at the vari ous porta on tha coast. No diminution of tha stream la apparent. The tendency Is toward an Increase, because of the superior opportunities of the United States. The effect of this steady Influx on the conditions of life on the coast cannot be other than detrimental to Californlans, In dustrially, socially and morally. "On the Pacific coast." says a Callfornlan In the New York Times, "oriental Immigrant la bor at wages of from 80 cents to & per day waa at Arst a benefit to American land owners. But under conditions which have prevailed Increasingly for the last five years the Japanese laborer who comes to this country Is not for direct hire to while men; he Is to be approached only through his Japanese boss; la. In truth, merely the Instrument whereby a capitalist at home in Japan tills a contract to supply so many days' labor for a certain price (reaching constantly to a higher figure). Contract Labor. "In the oriental quarter of any city or town on the Paclflo coast, from the Can adian boundary to the Mexican Una, one may go to a shop and buy Japanese labor as one would buy sausagea After the bar gain Is struck, the price paid (in advance), the boss delivers the goods, free on board the' wagon bound for the plao of Industry, and expects his gang to do as little work as possible. These brown men from Nip pen, who In crowds labor In fields, vine yards, shops and factories throughout the far .western states, are the shrewdest and cheapest of all Asiatics. Their patriotism is proved by the languor of their efforts In the Interest of white employers, and their willingness to work eighteen hoars out of the twenty-four under a Japanese master, "It Is easy to find basement rooms where forty or more Japanese are at work with sewing machines In the manufacture of silk nd muslin and lace waWts and under garments for women and children. These garments are largely ordered by the high class department stores In the east. The machines are set as close as possible to gether; the walls of the basement are cur tained off; behind the curtains are tiers of bunks where the workers sleep. In one corner Is a rooking stove and a table, from which meals of raw fish and pickled turnips ere eaten. At least forty Japanese at a time work, eat and sleep In many sucb dens.

' "The upshot of this crippling system Is that at this writing hundreds of fruit ranches In California are under lease, or are actually owned by Japanese capitalists who never have seen and never intend to see the shores of America. In the city of Pan Francisco at the time of its destruction small Industries, such as laundries, curio shops and shops for making and selling "omtn'i waists and light dresses, shoe re pairing and barberlng were virtually mo nopolised by Japanese. This state of affairs had arisen In five years. "When American families are crowded off farms where shall we get the new blood mat vivine the population of the cities? When the time comes that the farms are . . ,., "j worked by Japanese coolies, and white land owners are nonresident; when tracts of the republlo are owned in JaDan: when them tracts have become Japanese settlements where the population bear enthusiastic allegiance to the emperor of Japan, then real trouble will begin for the United States of America." Condition In Hawaii. To observe In full bloom the Japanese menace now In Its Infancy on the Paclflo coast It Is only necessary to consider the condition of the Hawaiian Islands. When the "paradise of the Paclflo" came under the dominion of the United States It expected American worklngmen would there nna tempting opportunities for their skill and Industry and in time become the dom inant race on the Islands. Exactly the opposite result was produced. While work lngmen are aa scarce as snowballs In the tropics, the Japs control the Islands In dustrially and commercially, as completely aa If the sunburst of Nippon Instead of the Stars and Stripes floated from the flag staffs of Honolulu. A staff correspondent of tbe New Tork Times, who visited the Islands last winter draws a picture of conditions there which serves to explain the opposition of Caii fornlana. In part, he says: For the great question which Is now feed ing the minds of the Island philosopher and which bids fair to afford them ai abundant diet for some time to come, It precisely this question In race supremacy and although It has come to be pretty we: understood that the predominating rac upon the Islands today Is the American, and that the predominating culture what little there Is Is Anglo-Saxon, yet It Is far from an established certainty that such will be the case at the end of the next two decades, when the first generation of Japa nese born Into American cltixenahlp off springs of the 70,000 Japanese already In the Island comes to maturity and brings the Influence of its Asiatic clvlllxatlon to bear upon the ballot box. Men of sound Judgment, like Judge 8andford B. Dole, president of the provisional republlo and first governor of the territory, and the lead ing minds In the oligarchy of sugar men. are coming to question if the hopes of an Island paradise have not been built upon a foundation of sand; If. In the thoughtless pursuit of dividends, the great planters have not brought In for field laborers a people who In a few years more will so overwhelmingly outnumber the combined forces of all the other natlonuilMea which can be arrayed against them In the Islands as to successfully dominate the future of the territory. And even In Hawaii the sub stitution of Japanese for American civilisa tion Is not to be regarded with equanimity. Evil Wr.uht , Already the owners of the great sugar Interests Interests which so overshadow all others aa to place them for the time being beyond the scop of discussion have come 1 i-"" kh oi aiscussion-bave come to reaiise ,h. evil which they have brought down nuon thmw. k.

With a total population nf 180,000, 70.000 or 44 per cent of whom are Japanese, and over 26,000. or 16 per cent, Chinese, to say nothing of several thousand Coreans who have recently come In, the preponderance of the Asiatic over the native and western element Is sufficiently marked to be start ling.

Sch warts, who has also written "Vassar Studies" and "Wilderness Bablea." Miss Sch warts has given a picture of four years of col lege life, presumably at Vassar. In which study, as well as pranks, hits a part. The story revolves about four girls, who enter college for as many different reasons. The characters are strongly drawn and contracted, but the college spirit overcomes many of the differences between them and cements a loyal friend ship. There Is a fascinating style and a healthy tone to Miss Schwarts's books that makes them valuable for the younger read ers. The Illustrations are by Ellen Wetbor ald Ehrena. Published by Little, Brown as Co, "Tha Twinkle Tales." comprising six ex quisite volumes under the titles of ' Bandit Jim Crow," "Mr. Woodohuck," "Prairie Dog Town," "Twinkles Enchantment," "Sugar Loaf Mountain" and "Prince Mud Turtle," each one a delightful story for children, by Laura Bancroft, are a splen did addition to this seaaon's literature for llttlo tots. Miss Bancroft has a aubtle vein of humor and her stories, while fanci ful, are near to nature. For this series Maglnel Enrlght has made over 100 special drawings, which are admirably suited to the text. Each of the books contains fif teen full-page colored Illustrations and a multi-colored title page, while everything entering Into the manufacturing has been of the highest grade. All of the books are clever exceedingly so and should become children's claries. Published by the Keilly Brltton company, Chicago.

Mr. Stoker's acquaintance with Ir ving began In 1878 and for many vears his association with Sir Henry, both a. friend and aa business manager, was of the most Intimate nature. It ha. been understood ror a long time that the authorised bi ography of the actor would one day be written by Mr. Stoker, and much of the material wa. prepared and many notes taken during the latter part of the actor's life. It Is doubtful If in the last third of a century any Englishman had a larger ac quaintance than Irving with the great men of his day. Ho knew the world of dlolo macy and fashionable society as well as he did that of the stage and the studio. Mr Stoker's reminiscences are full of anec dotes of Irvtng's relations with many fa mous men. The two volumes are Illus trated with a great number of portraits many of them of Irving and his profes sional associates, as they appeared In va rious characters.
