Associate Forester Cecil telegraph
ed to Huntington, Oregon, today for
fifty additional men to fight tho tires
along tho Snako river. Half a hun
dred troops have been fighting fire
within the reserve for two weeks.
Many Culls For nelp
Tho local forestry office la del-
Hged with telegrams appealing for
aid. In reply Cecil wired all for
esters in tho northwest to employ
as many men as they could secure
to fight fire.
Practically all available troops are
on tho flrc-lines now. General Maus
at American lako telegraphed that
he bad anly 250 regulars available
for duty. At the Vancouver, Wash
ington, barracks only 75 men, just
enough to do guard duty, are left,
tho remainder are on the firo lines.
A regiment of troops returning to
Vancouver from tho Philippines is
expected to arrive soon. If the sold
iers are In fit condition they will be
rushed to the scones of the various
conflagrations as soon as thoy land.

servo in Washington today.
Tho big blazo on tho south fork of
spreading and advices from Montana
say that conditions as grave as those
in southern Oregon obtain in the
timber belt of that state.
Tbo forestry officials are los
ing hope of being able to control
tho flames and declare that nothing
can stop the fires but rain.

which will employ Japencsc labor, brings to mind the
question of Asiatic immigration, which in the past has
been provocative of much political discussion and trouble.
It brings to mind that ever recurring question of protec
tion for the laborer through a tariff that protects his
employer's goods, but gives the employer free trade in
labor. This question is one that is not to be settled by
mobs or violence. It calls for statesmanship. All eco
nomic writers aro of one mind on this proposition that
competition in the labor field with an inferior race must
necessarily lower the standard of living of the laboriug
class of the superior race, and consequently an inferior
standard of citizenship. Wherever such competition has
been permitted to eoutinue for a long time it has resulted
in the amalgamation of the two races, and a resultant
inferior race. The influx of laborers from India and
Japan if permitted to continue beyond the absolute needs,
is bound to give rise to disturbed labor conditions, and,
especially m view ot the tact that the Japanese m Cali
fornia aro absorbing many of the smaller lines of busi
ness. Such competition is bound to increase the race pre
judice, and before it does, the questions should be adjust
ed by treaties and regulated by legislation.
To this the protected manufacturer will always be
opposed in the future as in the past. For his wares he
demands the highest tariff to enable him to cinch the
American consumer, and also the right to get his labor
from any part of the world. With him is allied the polit
ical sentimentalist, who ascribes it all to race prejudice,
and sees no reason why the American laborer should
not work side by side with the peaceful Chinese, the craf
ty Japanese and the patient Hindu, and learn from them.
But these nastolgian statesmen are unable to compre
hend that race prejudice has made the white race the
riding power. It has kept the American people irom be
coming a negroid race, and is the one prejudice that should
and must be encouraged along intelligent lines to keep us
from becoming so in the future.
It is prejudice that must have been implanted in the
white race 03' divine power, so essential and necessary
it is for the civilization of the world.
But poverty, squalor and want among American la
borers would in time break down that prejudice, and make
us a nation of castes with a fixed laboring population,
without patriotism that would fall prey to
power.
