Keeo the Slate Clean
We have had no hesitation in terming the
latest Wilsonian blast as a vindictive unrea­
soning campaign of mud-slinging. But we
have no hesitation in declaring that the com­
munity has not been free of guilt in providing
the aiderman with the mud to sling.
This is a lesson which experience ought
to have taught us .any number of times in
the past, but which we, in our stubborn
blindness and ignorance, have chosen to
ignore too long.

We know ourselves to be entirely guiltless
of disloyalty, knowing the decision we shall
take up if the worst should come to the
worst.
But there is no use in idly pretending that
our own convictions, spoken or unspoken,
are enough to allay the fear and suspicion
which has been aroused so needlessly and so
tragically both bv anti - Japanophobists of
the Wilson stripe and by foolish individuals
in our own group.

Just as important as the task of spokes­
manship is the task of critic. The N:sei press
must act not only as the guardian of its com­
munity from attacks from outside sources,
it must work continually in the job of clean­
ing its own house.

Few will deny the existence of many faults
in our own community in the quality in its
structure, in its thinking, even in its stand­
ards: but just as few will admit that these
faults might possibly apply to themselves.
The recent confusion over the question of al­
legiance and nationality now current in the
community is but one instance of an insin­
cerity, which in the long run, will bring
harm to the second generation, and to which
this Nisei press is unalterably opposed.

IFs Worth Fighting For!

In assuming this task of spokesmanship,
the Nisei press must be prepared to accept
heavy burdens of responsibility, to work
sincerely and consistently, and to refrain
from indiscreet utterances, which however
they may be inspired by the heat of the day,
serve no constructive purpose.

was short and plump and talk­
ative and filled with a zest for
dancing. Apart as were the
poles, they got along after a
fashion. Don reasoned and Jane
demanded. Always Jane got her
way and Don danced, pretend­

that boys must have their fun. They may laugh at her cr^kA '
little jokes at her expenses, yet underlying it all is a certain deferenA---'
a decidedly protective attitude. For the Western woman is a comnv-T^
figure with her intelligence and wit, her frankness and poise T’
charmingly feminine one, too, with her gracious sincerity.

The typical woman of Japan, on the other hand, is natural!served, gentle, and wholly feminine. She has very little part in th- $A
and intellectual life of the men, for Japan is still a man's country ALafcadio Hearn writes: ‘‘Accepting as partly true the statement th-woman everywhere is what man has made her, we might sav that A
is more true of the Japanese woman than of any other.” And mm re­
made her an obedient, docile, self-sacrificing creature.”
Then what of the typical' Nisei girl—influenced by these two
cultures that are so different?

The everyday life of the Nisei is not unlike the average woman <
any country. The characters in her world consist of housework, washinr
cooking, scrubbing, struggling against the unjust social order; salesgirl
patiently waiting on exacting women; teachers disciplining children and
youths; nurses, seamstresses, secretaries, musicians, poets, schoolgirls
bargain hunters, ladies of leisure—they all have their places in Canadian
society.
Socially she enjoys the same pleasures as her Canadian friends. She
has her teas, her dances and her dates. Inwardly we find a unique charac­
ter, a product of so .many different influencing factors—the cultures of
the East and the West. Her inherent Japanese traits have been moulded
and influenced by her Western surroundings.
The intelligent Nisei girl realizes the value of retaining the culture
of her parents and she has learned to pick out with discretion the best
that the West has to offer. Inheriting a natural reserve and a conservative
outlook on life, she is outwardly influenced by the broader Western out­
look, its frankness and vitality, the energy and very aliveness of Canadian
women.
She has, then, found for herself a special nook in world society and
in that nook men have set up on a pedestal their ideal Nisei girl.

From the men orchids to you, dream girl—
for your frankness tempered with discretion and the reserve of the
East. You can converse and air your opinions with the candour of the
West, yet you are careful not to become rudely frank . . .
for your very human qualities. There is a realness about you that
is lacking in the passive,, more resigned Japanese woman . . .
for your outlook on life, mellowed and broadened by the influence
of Western training ...
for your dependability and common sense. You may seem fligmy
on the surface, but when you are put under fire your true qualities come
out ...
for your carefree gaiety and pert impetuosity—your very love of
life makes you interesting and fascinating ...
for our naturalness, your lack of the prudery’ and the affectation that
is so often found among the older generation ...
for you & strength to accept inevitable circumstances with resignation
but not with defeat. You have the sense to lay aside your girlish dreams
and to face cold, hard facts ...
'
.
for your high ideals and standards that keep you gracious, charming
and cultured ...
,
4
for your ability to adapt yourself to your ever-changing surrounu
ings. At one moment you can bow with the charm and polish o any
Japan-born girl and at the next shake hands with the grace and poise o

a cultured Canadian ...

Although students of history will declare that anli'acted movements are as old as the hills, many Isseis

herewith:

ROLLS DOWN PENDER STREET

Tn 1907 the situation becomes alarming as politi­
cal action against the Orientals is discussed at
Victoria. W. J. Bowser, a rising Conservative
politician, has framed the “Bowser Natal Act.
based on the Australian languages tests designed
to exclude Orientals from the southern Dominion.
The act is passed by the Legislature, but Lieut.Gov. Dunsmuir refuses to sign it.
Between the unemployment situation—bad in
1907—the passions stirred up by the political con­
troversy. and the threatened—or rumored—imminent arrival of some 2000 more Chinese and
Japanese in the city, the people are ripe for
trouble.
The trouble soon comes, and it follows the old.
miserable pattern of 1887—and of all other racial
conflicts.
On Saturday. September 7, the Asiatic Exclus­
ion League calls a civic mass meeting in the
city hall at which speakers will discuss the ques­
tion to which the League is devoted. A mass
parade of workingmen will march to the hall from
Cambie Street grounds.
Thus, in spite of the warning example of Bel­
lingham, where only the previous Wednesday 500
men have beaten and clubbed a small colony of
East Indians, the good citizens of Vancouver pile
up the powder barrels and encourage the striking
of sparks where they will do the most damage.
8000 SHOUTING MEN

Early in the morning some 2000 workingmen
pour out of Cambie grounds with banners flying.
By the time the procession reaches Hastings
Street, it. has increased to 5,000, and at the City
Hall it is estimated to include at least 8000 shouting. yelling, men. There they burn Lieut.-Gov.
Dunsmuir’s effigy.
Inside the City Hall, the audience is jammed.
and the respectable leaders of the Asiatic Exclus­
ion League, with A. W. Von Rhein—there is some­
thing attractively Aryan about the name — as
chairman and leader, proceed to strike the neces­
sary sparks at 8 p.m.. as scheduled.
The Rev. H. W. Fraser. Harry Cowan, Rev. G.
H. Wilson, C. M. Woodworth. J. E. Wilton,
W. A. Young. Gordon Grant. F. J. Russell, W. E.
Flumerfelt and J. C. Wilson give vent, after Herr
Von Rhein leads off, io “burning utterances,”
according to the press of the day.
Another speaker', and one we would do well to
mark, is A. E. Fowler of Seattle, who represents
anti-Oriental organizations in the State of Wash­
ington.
The speeches are violent and even more violent,
resolutions demanding impossible actions from
the provincial and Dominion governments and
Heaven itself, are put and carried.

Shortly they form an immense, headless w
that begins winding blindly to seep away ^
Pender Street. It only requires—just as in pr
—the. thoughtless action of some youth kT
crowd -who throws a stone through a Chi;
store window, to start the ball rolling.
And it rolls.
Down through Pender Street sweeps the sol
—headless no longer—and once again the bo?
rible. long-drawn crash of breaking glass echT
through the city. Stocks in the stores are pb
dered or destroyed, and the mob flows on, leari^
behind a legion of cowering Chinese in then
wrecked dwellings and places of business.
THE JAPANESE HIT BACK

But this time the mob is incensed more again;
the Japanese than the Chinese, so the leads;
halloo onwards towards “Japtown.”
But in the Japanese they find no passive raeeB
like the Chinese.
Once the mob enters Powell Street the Japa;
ese boil out and fall on the great crowd, every
man and boy in the settlement wielding a dull
or a knife or that terrible weapon, the neck of
a broken' bottle.
In a minute the joyous cries ot the whiles
change to howls and execrations, and—though
not before considerable damage is done by ilyb
stones—soon the brave bully-boys of the raid
through Chinatown are flying back the way they
came, many gashed and bleeding, and none oi
them with any further taste for conflict with the
out-numbered but pugnacious “little brown
brothers.”
Thus to the crime of racial oppression the
stalwarts of Vancouver add the mean vice o!
cowardice.
JAPANESE PATROLS

By 10 p.m., when the belated police reserves
arrive on the scene in sufficient force to be ol
use, they find the Japanese, armed and belli:
erent, establishing their own patrols of their
district.
All through the night they march in military
sentry-go through the streets, and the protective
cordon the police throw around Powell Street
is not to save the Japanese from further violence,
but to prevent any unwary white man stumblin?
on this unexpected hornets’ nest.
Nevertheless, from hour to hour a few do. ana
come fleeing out for their lives.

A compliment, well intentioned, was lost that evening—and it could have
been such a precious little thing to keep locked in the backroom of one’s
memory!
We don’t ask for Shakespeare's flights into poetic fancy, because,
wish it. we wouldn't get it. and if we did, we’d probably die of shock,
but we would appreciate more individuality, more-imagination in Nisei
speech. Compliments, like rare spice, add tang to a flat evening, puts
"oomph" into common everyday doings. (That “oomph ’ was inten­
tional. not accidental, dearie!)

stepping Nipponese?
Although the Asahis have piled
up a
large impressive win
streak during their season’s
schedule, the Pats are a team to
be considered none too lightly.
Asahis have lost a total of just
three games and would be con­
sidered a cinch on the strength
of their large number of wins,
but of the three upsets suffered
by the All-star Japanese, Pats
have always been the stumbling
block.
The Pats, under the baseball
brains of “Major” Patton, besides being the only team in
the league to gain any wins off
the slippery, base-pilfering Nip­
ponese, have always given the
sons of Nippon a tough battle
—so tough that on numerous
occasions, the Asahis were able
to win just because the breaks
favored them.
