THE imiTISII RACE PROBLEM.
Great Britain is embarrassed at
many point In its' domain by the
clash between the white and Asiatic
races. In India, Egypt, the Trans
vaal and British Columbia there have
been almost simultaneous uprisings
against the Asiatics. The Hindus
have been discriminated agulnst, not
only In their own country of India,
' but In South Africa and Canada, In
aplte of the fact that they are them
selves subject of King Edward. At
Vancouver and elsewhere, regardless
of the fact that the Japanese are al
lies of the English, Englishmen have
shown race feeling against them. The
Chinese have suffered likewise. Mat
ters appear to have been growing
worse during the last few months and
some people are asking whether or
not conflict between the two races
may not come sometime. The orien
tal race problem in the United States
is a much simpler one than that con
fronting Great Britain and will be
much easier of solution.

prove of the management of Union

things for which the county manage

reins and do better. At the present
rate, Union county will be out of
debt before many years a condition
