The Japanese are undeniably gaining ascendency ir oumc i ui u otrtiiuns vamorma ana otner i'aciiic states, and that fact is reason enough for concern to the white population. But there is nothing to be gained by distor tion of figures whether intentional or unintentional. In dealing with the "yellow peril", as with any other peril, it is well to keep one's perspective.

A little calm inquiry tends somewhat to allay the fears thus inspired. It is pointed out that the last federal census gives California 41,000 Japanese, and the whole country 72,000. , It is not likely that the number of Japanese males has largely increased, because they are kept out by mterna- . tional agreement. While recent figures are not given, it seems quite unlikely that as many Japanese women have come into California as there were men already there the government would hardly admit more than a wife ' for each male. ,; Suppose, however, that there are as many as 40,000 ' Japanese women in the state. There are estimated to be ; more than 2,750,000 people in California, altogether, of " whom nearly half are white women. Obviously, the ' whites are still holding their own. - ' As for Los Angeles county, it contains altogether no '. loss than 800,000 people. Even though it is the strong- ' hold of the Japanese invasion, it does not seem to be in imminent danger of Japanization. That ":'.000 per cent" is alarming enough; but its real explanation is found not so much in the numbers of Jap anese babies being born now in Los Angeles county as in the fact that until the last few years there were hardly any being born. Yesterday there was a mass meeting of the followers of Mooney, the dynamiter, and Dr. Marie Equi, the con victed anarchist, held in Portland, at which the speakers advocated and predicted the overthrow cf the government and rule by soviet council on the plan supposed to be dom- i. Ta ' y-v i i -va nani in nussia now. une speaker irom Boise, Idaho, advised workers to go to that " city and get a job on the ne wcapital building, stating that by repeated strikes they could get their wages constantly increased, since there was a desire to complete the work quickly and the workers could take advantage of that fact. The en tire meeting was devoted to the expression of anarchistic viewsand no officials interferred to hinder the "red" propaganda, now so industriously advocated by labor un ion organizers and all other brands of professional agi tators. There are, however, laws in' existence strong enough to curb such uprisings against the government and they should be enforced to the letter in order to avoid more serious consequences later on. The church organizations endorse Billv Sundav and feature his senseless slang and frequently profane pulpit exhibitions, apparently because thev seem to draw a crowd of the curious.

RIFFLING RHYMES By Watt Mason MY ICELAND. Oh, Iceland, fail- Iceland, my dear old childhood homo, I'd like to sail to you aain, across the waste of foam. In dreams I see my happy home, my home of long ago, where The Mexican war scare is on again, but it will amount to little. The greasers have discovered that the Ameri cans can fight and have a whole lot of idle soldiers ready for the job, hence they will make quick reparation when ever it is suggested from Washington that we have a grievance. The crew of the R-:3 4, though English, chew gum on their trans-Atlantic cruises. Mavbe thev chew it because au the tarmers planted ice, and all they reaped was snow, they can t smoke, and maybe they do it to mend leaks in I often wonder why I left the flue where I was reared, for lands that sizzle in the sun, where men are scorched and seared; and I would give my halidom to be upon your Fhore, to see the musk ox eating ice, and hear the walrus roar. I used to kick, forsooth, because the kitchen fire would freeze, and one must use a crosscut saw to slice the bread and cheese; and often, lacking proper pride, I'd wring my hands and weep, because i had to shovel paths through drifts six furlongs deep. But time has shown rae what is what, and also which is which, and if I had those snowdrifts jw I'd think that I was rich. Oh, Ice land, when my jad.-d back is sore with prickly heat, I'd like to tread your frozen shore, and level in your sleet! Oh, Iceland, when my nose is peeled Lv solar trlow and t T vi i:t.. i- J..!... i " . iu ntu; 10 une aiong your lanes, nenina a the gas bag, but they do it, bv gum! And thus America scores another triumph. Maybe Henry Ford is suing the Chicago Tribune for $1,000,000 because he needs the money. The Ford com pany only made $:M,000,000 in the last nine months.
