Daflft single copy all;, per week ally, per month .. CALlrOlttMA AM THE JAPS We have read carefully what Gov ernor JohnBon of California has Bald regarding the alien laud law which the California legislature contem plates passing for self protection against the encroaching Japanese ele ment, and we fall to Bud whereto Cal ifornia can be blamed for taking the stand she has. There la precedent al ready established In a dozen or more states regarding alien ownership of land which prevent people who can not become cltixena from owning real eatate. But, suppose there wan no precedent. Governor Johnaon and the California lesislature are still right In their contemplated leglBlutlon. Every national administration from MrKlnley's time to the present has sidestepped an Issue that Is al most as Important to the Pacific states as was the slavery question to Ihe northern states. In President Wilson It was thought there was one who would stand firm, but he has Joined the ranks of Japan s sympathisers and again be United States bends the knee to the Mongolian race. The true cause for the national ad ministrations otie after the other go ing on record favoring the Jnpanese Is due to the factnhat presidents, se ators and representatives elected from east of the Rocky mountains cannot for a moment understand tb? .situa tion confronting thJs wst Koute velt. who was reongii7f1 as a wen- ern man. failed to gia-v tlm situation which Indicates that the west Is not only at the mercy of Japan but that Japan has behind her the federal gov ernment of the United Slates, which indeed makes the situation tense so far as the Pacific sWtes are concern ed. . ' 1 In the days of the civil war the cry was against Intermarriage of blacks and whites, yet todny In these western states more and more marri ages of the Mongolian rae with the Americans are recorded each year. The whole matter must come to a climax sooner or later. The fed eral government uiny sUlcBtcp It for a while Just as tho present adminis tration and Its predecessors have done but there will come a time when the question of whether the Pacific states are for Americans or for the Imported Chinese and Japanese must be set tied. Never fear about Governor John sons "hot beadedness," which has been often spoken of. The governor Is not desirous of plunging tne nation Into anv trouble, nor would ne wil lingly disgrace California by bringing on a conflict, but the governor Is emi nently right in bis position and we hope he will stand by it. THE FIRST AME WOX. The in r of La Grande's hall team winning the first game of the season over North Yakima, is a stimulant that professional baseball fans enjoy more than any oiher stimulant known. It mum it twrne in mind that North Yafclma was touted as the strongest team, and It "may be, but the fact re mains that Ia Grande's bunch of ball nlver went onto the home grounds of the "Braves" and took the first game by a score of 2 to 1. The first game or a season means much to a a team, especially when It Is playing on Its home ground and doubtless North Yakima would have rather lost any three games during the season than to have loBt the first one. -V LOSE STAIR ITEMS. Lone Star, Oregon, April 21. rB.w.nnThe Valley creamery is so liciting patronage of the farmers who sell cream. Mr. Ernie la going to start a wagon .from Summervllle Wednesday to gather up the cream once a week, and deliver it to Imbler, which will be a great convenience to the farmers. He tests and weighs the cream at the door. The farmers along the foot hills are busy clearing land while they are waiting for their farming land to dry. as It Is very wet In the bottom lands. Mrs. D.

J . r- A 4: I.N THE PROCESS OF MAKING Considerable complaint is heard from filrst one and then another be cause of the drains on private ac counts for building churches, Ubararles, etc. Along with this comes the feeling against paring wth money for mprovements, baseball and oilier things that go o make a ciy. We will admit that at times h does seem these things come a trifle fast, but It must be remembered that the only way to have a city is to build It, and right now we are In hi'ldng process. La Grande was a village un til recently. She is now a going city full of all "the life and vigor that ! cities of several times ber she possesses. But we cannot have a city ! unless we pay the cost. Everything j In this world must be paid In -some : manner, and hs up to all of us as citizens to shoulder every load that comes along, do our part and throw I up our hat n praise. The knockers ; ne growing fewer and fewer In La Grande, In fact It is seldom now you find one. The man who roaded about taxes a few yenrs ago Is now a booster of the keenest type and throughout all of till transformation comes a bright, bustling city recognized today over the northwest as the best of htr size.
