striking example of the change in sentiment toward the Japanese in this
country than , Portland, : It will be remembered that in 1808 the people of this
city held the most successful ot latter day expositions, f At this memorable
fair, which had a total attendance double the entire population of the states
of Oregon, Washington and Idaho at, that time, particular deference was paid
to the Japanese and orientals lntgeneral. The exchange .of courtesies between
the exposition officials and the Japanese reDresentatives was moat cordlaL
and the Japanese were absolutely the most, popular -of , all visitors, receiving
even more attention. than notable guests from the eastern states and Europe.

Alble E. Stone secured a divorce from

out and hustle a living for him. His
earnings were spent In the saloons, .she
said. Once when she asked him to call
a doctor for her he came back with the
inquiry as to whether she needed a doo

The gentleman went on to say that
while the action of his firm in refusing
an Japanese -Business , was an extraor
dinary proceeding. Its experience had
been such as to leave them no other
course to pursue. To have a reputable
business firm, one' that was avowedly
friendly In the beginning, take such a
stand against them. Is Indeed a stinging
arraignment against . the commercial
morality of the Japanese. The reader
may well draw the conclusion that the

will likely doom the aspiration of their

Attitude Has Changed.
Innumerable instances may be given
to show how the attitude of Americans
toward the Japanese has changed. He
makes an excellent first Impression, but
by getting better acquainted with him
one invariably learns that the little
brown man Is an empty diplomat. He
assumes honesty, but Just when one
feels sure of him he proves adlsap
pointmet. In giving an account of a
purchase he made from a Japanese
chinaware dealer, a prominent Portland
citizen said;
"nt.2Y particular pains to show
me with his lead pencil that each plate
was solid, and called my special atten
tion to one nicked saucer that was cast
aside. I was so Impressed by his seem
ing honesty that I willingly made the
purchase. As I went away -I felt that
the general charge about the dishon

of dudgeon because fully half of the
piates were nicked. Now that Japanese
laughed In hie sleeve and considered
himself clever by taking advantage of
the chance to cheat me. He evidently
aid not stop to consider that the dis
honest gain he made by this single tran
saction will be more than offset by the
fact that he will lose all my custom

with him will put me on my guard
against all Japanese In future, so his
