Till (KHATROUaf ; No body wants trouble with China, yet the undesirable ofton happens, and it is the part of prudence to recognize that the disagreeable may eventuate. - - Our government now has more men and ships in the Philippine Islands than at any time since the passification of the Island-ersa-.lis sending more" there to be in readiness should occasion demand their service to protect American and Ameri can interests in China. ' 2 - The diplomats of the United States and China are anxious to avoid trouble, but the causa of trouble la not one of diplo macy and therefore they cap do t4 tte. The common peopS' of China feeV. that the people of the United States habitu ally treat them with contempt and lack of ordinary politeness in executing the treaty agreements between the two peoples. While the common people in the United States, and especially on the Pacific coast, believe that the presence of China men here is not only undesireable but a serious menace to the prosperity and well being of the laboring class, small farmer and shop keepers and impelled by this dread of danger from overflow of Chinese they use their influence to have the exclusion laws executed as rigorous and with as few evasion as possible. ; v ' '. . It is a race feeling, and onlike the racial troubles our people have and are having with the negroes and Indians the white people of the United States find themselves ' numerically in the minority. We could safely treat the black and red men within our gates with contempt and they were powerless to resent But when we insult 400,000.000 wealthy. educated and industrious people a differ ent problem is presented; on that cannot be solved by diplomats. f ARM ANIMALS The United States Crop Reporter for Feb. 1905 reached the Observer this morning.

HAISTEN, PHONE RED 1161 Highest prices paid for Second Hand Goods Whatever hostility to Mr. Roosevelt can be worked up will be used to the uttermost now by the -forces of corrupt money privilege that are ranged against him. What ever our criticisms, let us not forget the desperate contest " which special privilege everywhere is prepared to wage at Washington a contest in which,' whoever may be right in this de tail or that, on the whole the President is the most powerful champion- of the vague but strong feeling of the people, that financial burdens are unequally dis tributed and need to be readjusted. In this contest, which will be a long and hard one, it will be the policy of the manipulators who are guarding . their present "''snaps" to take advantage of very one of Mr. Roosevelt' slips. Let those1 of us Who wish justice everywhere, whatever Interest fall, criticise him as freely as we should criticise a holder of the humblest office, but let us not lose fight of the fact that the President's fiercest enemies are likewise enemies of us all. It is not a question of 'who is right on the Hepburn bill or on almost any other measure that may be bef jre the country. It is not a question of means but of ends and spirit that we are considering. .The President's' ends, are justice and equality, and his strongest opponents are those whose ends are in justice and unequal rights.
