WHAT AILS JAPAN.
The People Resent Exclusion of Jap
anese Children From Schools.

Washington, Oct 25.=Viscount
AOki, the Japanese ambassador, at A
conference with Secretary Root at the
state department today made the re-
United States see that japanese sub
jects in California, were accorded their
full rights under the treaty of 1894,
including the right Of children to
freely attend the public schools of San
Francisco. Secretary Root will take
up the matter with the president and
it is likely that representations will be
made to the authorities of California
The ambassador said that the ex-
clusiOn of Japanese children from San
Francisco schools was the chief cause
of the harsh criticisms of the United
States. He was inclined to discount
the other causes given for the senti-
ment against this country.
THE friendship between the United
States and Japan is too genuine and
of too long duration to justify any
formal protest on the part of Japan be-
cause of wrongs her citizens may have
suffered in some one locality in the
United States" said NiscOunt Aokf
There is much misunderstanding in
Japan concerning the true situation
OF course the japanese government
fully realizes that the action against
the Japanese children is local and not
general in this country, but all the
Japanese people do not understand
conditions in this country and local
unfriendliness to Japan is regarded by
many persons as a national action"
The action against the Japanese
children is regarded as extremely
serious by Viscount Aoki and he
made no attempt to discount its i'm
portance.
After all the years of friendship
between the two nations it seems 100
bad that the poor. innocent, little Jap
anese school children should be sub
jected to such indignaties.' said the
dor. "Such action on the
part of local authorities in this coun-
try is resented very bitterly by all

THE easy notification of the laws b.
public officials is one Of the greatest
evils of any state. There is no excuse
for failing to enforce a law because the
law is against public sentiment So long
as they are on the books enforce them.
An official does not take an oath ID
obey public sentiment but to enforce
the law. An official who fails to do this
is guilty of embezzlement of power, and
when power has been embezzIed it is
gone forever. I hope to see a law upon
the statute books making it as much
Of crime for an official to embezzle
power as TO embezzle money
Governor Folk spoke briefly Of the
protective tariff in building UP the
great trusts. He recommended an in
come tax which would deal lightly with
those in moderate circumstances. but
heavily with the rich who are best able
to stand it. Continuing he said:
