President Declares No Treaty is

Washington, Dec. 1.-The relations
between The United States and Japan
result Of the attitude of the jap
iese government toward the Cali
rnia authorities in school matters
we become acnte. An erroneous i'm.
| bssion as to the presidents posi-.
IN has been widely circulated.
The President absolutely concurs
with the opinion Of Secretary Metcalf
that the Japanese have no cause for
grievance and that no treaty right has
been abr0gated
Al the outset he preside took
the stand that treaties superseded all
state and other laws Now he Is con.
WINGED that in giving the Japanese
students equal educational rights.
while separating them from other
schools, all hase been done that is
necessary. Outside of radical differ
ences, there is another reason for
segregation and that Is that many of
Tie japanese students are adults. The
president will stand strictly upon the
treaty agreements, but he thinks too
much is being asked by the japanese t
government ;
Sees Effort as Imposition. Il
Il Is konWn that the president feels
that the Japanese with an enormous c
personal conceit and tremendous per S
sonal egotism, are trying to impose a
upon the citizens of San Francisco
md the coast. He is reported to have
'mphalcally said to the caller.
Whatever is fair shall be done. No t,
reaty will be eyaded or ignored. The G.
ananese has, in the language of Kip. Il

the commissionership, Capt. E. Nor

continuously for twelve years. Ely,
which has cast the largest vote in the

the change was made. In the nomi-

district has a man who is able and

district and one who will be heard Of

is known as public spirited citizen.
He is of the stuff of which good COM

WHAT COLES OPPONENTS SAY.

The st. Paul Daily News, Governor
Johnson's St Paul organ, approves
without qualification the reforms
urged by i. L. Cole in his Kenyon
speech. The article is as follows:
Mr.. Coles keynote, struck At Ken
Won, chimes pleasantly-no dissen-
sions there nor note Of quarrel
He favors enforcement Of law, re-
duction Of railroad rates, correction Of
insurance abuses, equalization Of tax
es, economy in expenditures, develop
ment Of the state, reclamation OF
waste lands.
There is not a line in the carefully
prepared address 10 provoke dispute,
net an utterance to excite opposition
Every citizen in Minnesota may sol
EMMY cross his heart and sobeTly sub
scribe to all that was said.
Mr.. Cole makes no pretense to el0-
quence and his plain sentences have
not disturbed the states midsummer
tranquility. His supporters will pro-
nounce it pleasing and wholly salts
factory. For that matter, so viii his
opponents.
The Daily News is pleased to com
mend it cheerfully, giving full faith
and credit to the good intentions
there expressed. Nowise startling, it
is a simple and Straightforward state
ment Of purposes in which every citi-
zen may cordially concur.
IF every one voted for him who
finds in this keynote speech nothing
with which TO disagree Mr.. Cole
would be elected unanimously. Con
trarfwise, if We must elect governor
every one who takes the position that
is outlined we must elect about 400
600 men governor of Minnesota next
November.
There IS nothing in the address
one unconsciously uses negatives in
speaking of ito shake the state
with oncoming thunders, nor yet, if
| Mr.. Cole should be elected, TO cause
the state dismay.
There is nothing 10 detract from
the esteem in which he has been held
| deservedly, not an argument TO win
| to him any who demand that he show
cause why he should be elected"
To the average reader it must APP
| near that If Mr.. Coles platform i
such as every one approves and that
| If every one votes for him who en-
| 6orses his attitude he will have a
majority of 100000 next November it
| is scarcely worth while looking fur
Their for a candidate who will reflect
the views of the people of Minnesota.
That surely is reason enough why the
| people should vote for him
