There is no witness In the heavens Editor The Star: Tn almost every issue of your pa- per complaints are made against the Jap and other foreigners, but all are from @ personal standpoint, and Not one of them suggests a remedy. Now I see an even greater evil in the foreigner than mere personal injury; but to illystrate it I will have to cite an incident of my own experience. In ‘78, while hunting hostile Bannocks in Oregon, we came across some placer claims tn the John Day valley. They were worked by Americans and China men. We camped on the banks of the river and naturally talked to the miners. The information we got was that the Americans intended to use the money they made to buy themselves a home or a farm. The Chinamen plainly told us that they Intended to take their money to ‘China. Consider now: In both cases, 20 acres of good land that may have supported a family was destroyed. But In one case the substance taken from the land was eventually left to the children by the American. But how about the Chinaman? He Takes a Sh ‘The Star: ving been out of town during week-end I did not get & chance see Saturday's Star and read the outburst” of my dual pro- friend, Dr. FE. J. Brown, in © to my letter of August 17th. food doctor starts out by re- to me as an “oracle.” Accord. ing to the latest definition of “oracle” it is “one who can forecast the happenings of future events.” In that sense I must plead guilty to the charge, because ever since the dim and distant past when my friend Dr. Brown began running for office, first as a socialist, then some years a democrat, and other years non- partisan, and others years both as a democrat in the fall and a non- partisan in spring, I have always prophesied his defeat on election day and never as yet missed my guess. I even informed the good doctor last fall, when he was running for prose- cuting attorney on the democratic ticket, that he would be a poor third in the race, and the intelligent voters of King county verified the correctness of my judgment. In @ part of his outburst, the godd doctor uses these words, “I did not abuse Mr. Gill in 191% or at any other time.” There is, of course, a! difference of opinion among men as | constitutes abuse, to see the good doctor does not consider the language form since he commenced running for office, some time during the lat- ter part of the 19th century, abuse. Possibly the several score of those who have been his opponents tn his numerous candidacies may disagree with him as to the meaning of the |term "a ‘abuse. | Editor The Star: ris law passed in 1909 and amended in 1911 and subsequently as to matters not of interest in this dis- cussion exercises a weighty and mo- mentous power over all publig of fices of the state, including “every state office und every state educa tional, benevolent, penal and re formatory institution, public institu- tion and every public account of the same class.” In fact it has full power of super. vision over every public office in the state. All such offices are account able to that bureau, which ts an ad Junct to the state auditor's office, ind no reports from any such public @f-| fice are made or published except as | required by the said bureau.

Just so ts it with the present day immigrant, Jap or white, and as the panic in 1907 proved, has been #0 since our free land is gone. But what will you do about it? Closing our ports against immigration will do no good as long as they can come to Mexico or Canada, and would take an enormous army of officiala to keep them out. The only way is to make ft unprofitabre to stay here. Since our free land is gone we get a class of immigrants that care nothing for America, but want the American dollar, as the panic of 1907 proved., But how? They will, and can, underwork the American because they are satisfied to tive as they lived fn their own country. The only way ts to make them pay & protection tax amounting apprex- imately to the difference of their earnings in their own country and this. They were the cause of the trouble in West Virginia and they are at the bottom of all of our labor troubles and misery, F.

You know, doctor, the truth is an abao- lute defense to any libel in this state, even tho it is inspired by malice and jhatred. If you had anything on C. B.

Editor The Star I often wonder if children have any duty at all, I know that in the days that have gone by we were taught that we owed a great deal to our parents I myself often wondered if I could ever get therm paid; well, I see now. But now I should like to know why it is that In every lecture given that pertains to parpnts and children that the lecturer is always telling the par. ents their duty and never telling the kids their duty towards their par ents, Now I wonder why What's the matter with instilling into the minds of the kids that our future depends on the children of to- day, that they have a duty, and a solemn duty, to perform? The boy and girl of today, where are their veneration or honor? Why not look into the Bible a bit and throw a few quotations at them, such as, “Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long,” and so forth? Why not teach the kids that what ever they sow, they will have to reap, and there ig no way around it; if they are corrupt, that the next generation will be also, If we want our country to be the best in the world (aud if we have the love of our country in our hearts, we want this to be the best ever) we must live good, pure lives. All parents want their children to ibe good, strong and noble men and women; they can't help what did in their youth now, but the par- are today, Now you men and women who go out to lecture, farget the parents, but fling it at the Kids |ty; you can’t miss it ach them to get all the education that they can and learn a trade if possible, but anyway, get busy! Marry young, and at least raise a family of three, provided they are healthy and all O. K. One young man sald to his mother, “I don't want to get married and have to keep a wife, I can have all wives that I want without the ex- pense of keeping them; all the girls are bad.” Are they? How about the boys? I tell you, it te high time for some Our country is at stake. We want @ generation of grit and backbone, When you blame the parents, you uphold the children, or at least they take it so, I tell you it is no fun having the kids come home and rake | months by way of public hearings—) they | ents of tomorrow can help what they | } PoRT ANGELES ‘ood and plen- | the | one to get after the boys and girls! | hed ules | =SAVE MONEY= il 7rave/ by sfeamer DAILY, Vic 9, 12 m., 1, Bpectal Sun.
