In a letter 10 the Independent. Mr..
Burbank says;
The trawberry-raspber which you
mention as one OF my productions, was
an original species produced by Nature
herself, and was discovered in Central
China and introduced by a welI-known
Eastern scotsman.
1T is a pest, as you truly say

plant before the Uniled States public

CLIENTS NOT RESPONSIBLE
FOR LAWYERS WRONGDoTNc

or late there have been outcries in
many parts OF the country against al
legged corrupt members of the bar, but
there can be. and are. many ideal law
yers, is the contention Of Justice David
J. Brewer. in the November Atlantic
Monthly. in his essay The Ideal Law
yer" The following is a pithy statement
he makes:
No lawyer is called upon TO do anv
dishonest or dlshonorable thing for his
client II the client demands IT, dec
llnation Is imperative. and il the de-
mand IS persisted in termination OF en-
ployment is equally Imperative or
course lawyers are subject 20 all the
limitations and weaknesses Of human
nature. and profitable employment often
clouds the vision And here il where
shines one characteristic OF the ideal
lawyer. His vision is not blinded He
looks above the golden calf and the
shouting crowd, and ever sees on the
lofty SUBMITS o. Sinai the tables OF
stone chiseled with imperishable truth
by the finger OF God
Were / called upon TO name the one
element most important in the makeup
Of the ideal lawyer I should unhesi-
taungly say. Character. And wisely in
the economy Gf lfe that is also the one
element most essential 10 success. Brains
without character may display a bril-
Nancy OF achievement But pvrotech-
mics are shOrt-lived That which en-
dures, upon which all rely, is Char
acter"

teed to Japanese subjects in this
country?
Contrary to the California theory
and practice of law is the statement
of Elihu Root. Secretary of State of
the United States, contained in a
dispatch to Minister Wright at
Tokyo. In this message he said;
You may assure the government Of
Japan in the most positive terms that
the Government of the United States
VIII not Tor a moment entertain the
idea of any treatment toward the Jap
anese people other that that accorded
to the people OF the most friendly Euro
pean nations.
That would seem to settle the
matter definitely, so far as the at
titude of our National Government
is concerned 1t would scarcely be
possible, we imagine, to shut out
English or German or French schol-
ars from our public schools for any
reason whatever, least of all that
they are members of this or that
portion of the human race. 1t is i'm
possible to believe that the Califor-
MIA system can stand the test of a
higher law than that of its own
Legislature.

could hardly tell one from another. one
Of the number, a young man, sat about
with such a depressed air that the
sailors began TO speculate on the cause.
They all agreed that he was the most

had ever seen; for days they wondered
what the matter was. Each one of
them guessed wrong They found out
the sad story from a trader who visited

EDUCATION IN INDIA BRINGS
DEMAND FOR EQUALITY RULE

From India, commonly regarded as
the home Of superstition and non-pro-
gTession, comes confirmation of the
American preachment that all the peo-
pie should have a share in governing
themselves. The New York Times out
lines the situation thus:
UnGuestionably there is a distinct un-
rest in India OF which the British gov
ernment is taking cognizance. Its origin
is much more simple than is the prob
lem of satisfying IT, The spread Of
western education in India during the
past generation has created a class Of
literates who now seek a share in the
government OF the country
To some extent their desire has been
graJ.fed. especially as TO the courts and
the minor civil service. But from the
army and from the higher offices. in
volving discretionary authority, they
have been excluded. Such recognition
as they have received naturally Whets
their appetite for more and has tended

piratlon toward complete self-govern-

PEAT MAY BE A FACTOR
IN COAL STRIKE TROUBLES

Cold weather brings up the coal ques-
ton in unavoidable fashion. Aubrey
Fullerton, in the Technical World Maya
zine for November, holds out hope that
coal famines. II any come in the fu-
ture. may havs their horrors reduced by
business men developing the peat in
dustry.
In his article. "Hurryiug Up the Coal
Mines he writes:

'One of the Canadian roads, whose

Their Treaty Rights.

The school board of San Fran
cisco in extenuation or Its act in
excluding japanese children from
the public schools and directing
that they attend special institu-
tions, falls back upon the State stat
ute of California relating especial
ly TO primary and grammar schools.
Here is a part of the section which
forms the defense:
Trustees shall have the power to ex-
Clude all children of filthy or vicious
habits or children suffering from con-
tagiOus or infectious diseases. and also
children and for cSildren OF MOngOlian
or Chinese descent When such sepa-
rate schools are established, Indian,
Chinese or MOngOlian children must not
be admitted into any other school.
1t viii be noted that these sepa-
rate schools are not made compuI-
sorry by the statute, Trustees are
given the power, but it is their own
option whether they use that power
or not. The only thing mandatory
about the law is that when separate
schools are established the Jap

not be admitted to any other. But
