JAP POLICY OF TEDDY
Is Opposed BY Senator Tillman in a
Terse Interview Dangers OF Plan
are DWelt Upon.

A Washington special says: Sena-
for Tillman. like other southern
statesmen and politicians, joins with
the western senators and representa-
tiyes in disagreeing with President
Roosevelt relative to the education Of
the Japanese in the schools Of Cali
fornia He says the federal govern
ment has no power, by treaty or 9TH
erwise, to interfere with the question
involved
The senator thinks the question one
OF vital Importance to the south. He
says the state Of California has a
perfect right to segragate the races
in her schools, end any interference
on the part of the national govern
ment would be contrary to the consti-
tuition of the United States.
Bound up in the question Of jap
anese education in California is the
right of the southern states to segre-
gate the races their schools, and
on this account the views Of the
statesmen in washington are interest
ing. In this connection Senator Till
man said;
the south is and should be vitality
interested in the question OF japan
ese education in the schools of Cal
ifornia, which was dwelt upon by
the president in his annual message.
Without any preliminary discussion
Of the question, | have no hesitancy
in saying Mr. Roosevelt is all wrong.
"The United States government has
no right, by treaty or otherwise, to
interfere with the internal affairs Of
any Of the several states. The schools
of California are n~.ltained by the
state government and the state gov
ernment has the right to say who
shall attend them They have a per
feet right to segregate the races--re-
quire the Japs to attend one school
and the Caucassians another
And if the federal government en-
tered into any treaty affecting the
right of California o. any other state
to regulate her schools the treaty
would be unconstitutional
IF California has not the right to
regulate her schools and segregate the
races, then South Carolina, Georgia
and other southern states have no
right 10 segregate the races in their
public schools

he didn't want it. The fact that his name

candidates are. Zeb Herndon, assistant

for Roosevelt to be made the basis, which
would allow his county to have ma

He adds that the principal reason for this
is that. wave Of prosperity and business
expansion is sweeping over the country,
and will be augmented by the magnificent
crops. throughout the country. The agri-
cultural and mining interests are mainly
responsible for the plethoric condition Of
the countrys purse.
ALREADY prosperous and happy, as IA
vored nation, the new accretion of wealth
from the earth will make the United States
richer by $1,000, 100000.

This will mean further business expan-
sion, which is now the shibboleth of nearly

prosperity. The boom now in progress has
taken deep root, and Is backed by solidi-
fed and determined public sentiment
