RAYNER FOR STATES RIGHTS
Uses Sarcasm on the President in
Discussing the Jap Case.

Washington. Dec. 13-Mucb inter
est was manifested in the senate in
the position defended by Rayner in his
discussion of the japanese question. lie
contended that the inherent rights Of
a state could not be violated by treaty
any more than they could be violated
by congress. To support this he cited
many adjudicated cases before the SUI
preme court. and arrayed long lines OF
eminent authorities Rayner also gave
the cases and authorities Of the 9th
er side to the proposition.
In beginning his remarks he was
very sarcastic in his illusions to the
president; said that the president Is
exercising a great many functions-eX-
ecutiye, Legislative and judicial, lawful
and unlawful. constitutional and I'M
constitutional: that I'VE must either
disabuse his mind of this fancy or we
must let him know that we agree as
to the omnipotence of his jurisdiction"
and that I'VE might confer upon him
the function OF furnishing his own PEE
culiar views upon the entire state Of
the universe and recommending any
improvements or changes in the gener-
nj plan OF creation that he may deem
expedient."
Rayner's argument was based on
/ two proposltions-"T there Is no
provision whatever in the treaty with
/ Japan that gives to the gov
eminent Of Japan the privileges it
claims in connection with the public
school system of California or Of any
other state; that If there was such a
provision in this treaty, or any other
treaty comforting this right, the treaty
would be void and without any au.
thority upon the part of the United
States to make it, and in violation Of
the constitution and the treaty-making
power of the government"

GOD IN THE CONSTITUTION
ventiOn Formulating Oklaho-

Guthrie, o. T., Dec. 13.-The cOnst-

putting what name to give the Deity
In the new constitution, or whether or
not supreme being sould be named
at all, has unanimously adopted the
following preamble:
Invoking the guidance Of Almighty
God, in order to secure and perpetuate
the blessing of liberty, TO secure a Just
and rlghtful government, to promote
mutual welfare and happiness, we, the
people Of Oklahoma. do ordain and es-
tablish this constitution"
It probably will be forty days yet
before the entire constitution has been
adopted.

"sIMPLIFIED" KNOCKED OUT
House on Record as Against the "Re-

AOA AiC0 Opening kOchs
Washington, Dec. 49, = The house
Of representatives has gone ON record
in opposition to the new spelling as
recommended by the president. By q
vote of 142 to % the following was
adopted as a substitute to the item
reported by the appropriations commit
tee in the legislative, executive and
JUDICIAL bill: mo money appropriated
in this act shall be used in connec-
ton with printing documents author
lied by law or ordered by congress, or

During the discussion Sullivan Of
| Massachusetts remarked that if the

change the spelling of 800 words Of the

could be done be thought new court
language might be established by ex-
ecuttve degree for the new American
empire" I'VE got along very well
with the English language until the
reign of the present president Of the
United States" said Sullivan
While GrOsvenor was discussing the
amendment Towne Of New York asked
him whether the clause in the bill to
be displaced by the substitute was not
'on page % beginning with line % p
Yes, I believe So" replied Grosve,
nor. -Then is not that double

sity go out?" ooh, that's an old story

Senator Platt and Representative
lands, of the joint committee on
printing, are at work on a resolution
designed to straighten the simplitied
spelling tangle at once. Even if the
house and senate both pass the legis
lative bill with a clause declaring foI
old-fashioned spelling the measure will
not become effective until the begin
ming of the new year, and meantime
there would be no well-deffned policy
as 10 spelling. Reports from the ex
ecutive departments are printed now
In reformed spelling. When congress
