A somewhat different aspect, however, is given to the situation by comments from California newspapers that are known to be calm and conservative. The editor of the Woodland Mail, in a characteristic statement, rec ognized that Senator Phrelan's presentation may have teemed overdrawn, uut tninKs ne was jusunea in cring ing the subject to the attention of the public "in a start ling way." "Those of us on the ground," says the editor, "are convinced that the 'gentlemen's agreement' by which Jap anese laborers are supposed to be kept out is worth lit tle. It is conceded that hosts of the little brown men are cmonig to the state across the Mexican border. And 'contract wives' are coming in by hundreds, ap arently for no other reason than to become bearers of chi dren. "Japanese laborers are creating disaster for the white race in scores of districts, their mode of life making it Im possible for white men and women to tolerate them. They have gradually possessed themselves of whole sections in both city and country, and where they locate the value of proprty immediately depreciates.

The day is hot as melted lead; I place some ice upon my head, and seek the shade outdoors; and there I read some cooling book the voyages of Dr. Cook along the arc tic shores. The doc is held to be a fake, but in his writings he can make a man forget the heat; with him I walk where blizzards roll, discovering a pipe dream pole among the framed up sleet. My reading takes me further back; I follow Sir John Franklin's track, to where it has an end; lie vanished in the storm and rack, and never sent a mes sage back to any mortal friend. Somewhere the polar night wind moans above Sir John's here ic bones, all buried deep in snow, the bones of others by their side, but how t he heroes wrought and died we nevermore shall know. I read of Greeley's hunger camp, and feel a tear in either lamp, for that's a frightful tale; and as I read I seem to hear the ice floes crashing far and near, and feel the bit ter gle. A neighbor comes along and cries, "Gee whiz! Our Augusts and Julys are getting worse and worse; this heat, if longer it persist, will get my goat, I wot and wist, and put me in a hearse." I hear his words in mild sur prise; I've been abroad 'neath arctic skies, among the end less snows; and I am feeling just as if my ears and nose were frozen stiff, and I had chilblained toes. for another route Already the hum of the air-postman is a familiar sound in dozens of American communities. - It is becom ing so regular that many people set their clocks by it. There is no more excitement when it passesonly the same interest that a small town takes in an express train. Before many years, it will probably attract jio more than passing notice in any American community. Thus mir acles grow commonplace. The air service at Washington has decided to use the word "airship" to designate only dirigibles and lighter-than-air craft. All heavier-than-air machines are "air planes." It is a weighty matter, to be, sure, but anyone who has mastered the difference between a fish fork and a salad fork ought to be able to tell at a glance whether it is an airship or an airplane. ' ' , - . i The speed cop oh the roads in this district is probably there to see that motorists do not go slower than the law allows it would be impossible in the present condition of the roads to exceed the legal speed limit. But the road hog with the spot-light is allowed to endanger life on all the roads at night without let or hindrance. Rumania has a practical way of settling the bolshevik question. She told the- pin-headed leaders of the move ment in Budapest to get out-and they made their exit in record time in order not to get in the "way of advanc ing Rumanian troops. , Italy wants American coal and American shoes. There is an old proverb' which says "the worth of a thing is learned by the want of it." Hut will Italy want these things when she finds out how much they cost? Deportation and execution have reduced the podu- ! ation of Petrograd from 2,000,000 to 800,000. Apparent ly i roe lvussia means Russia freed of her population. . "Now that we are getting ice and potatoes by weight, why not eggs?" asks a correspondent. How has he been getting ice in the past by the dozen? The rosy, round tomatoes, Tho eabbngo and the beans, The good Irish potatoes, And spinach, too, for greens. The earth is the kind of mother Who nurses baby seeds; She gives us munv blessini, And all the world she fee-Is. She makes the grns and clover i'or all the rows to eat. And then tliey give u butter, And milk, so ri-h and sweet.
