WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. - Caustic
criticisms of President Roosevelt's po-
sition on the japanese question pref
aced Senator Rayner's discussion in
the senate of the constitutional ques-
tons involved.
If the military and civil forces of the
federal government were to be used
by the president, Mr.. Rayner said, it
became very important to know the
exact power of the president in the
matter. Because" he added, lit is
quite a serious matter, in view of the
great calamity that has lately befallen
the city of San Francisco, for the
president to contemplate the lombard
ing Of the city at this time, and to de-
clare war against the board of county
school trustees of San Francisco if
there is no justification or pretext upon
which such ferocious proceedings can
be undertaken.
Roasts Roosevelt
"The president is exercising a great
many functions-legislative, executive
and judicial, lawful and unlawful, con-
stitutional and unconstitutional.
IF he Is possessed of the idea that
he is supervisor of all the public schools
of the various states of the nation
and he seems to be impressed with this
idea, because in the very last para
graph of his message he recommends
the establishment of shooting galleries
in all of the large public schools of the
country-we must either disabuse his
mind of this fancy or we must let him
know that we agree as to the omnipo-
tence Of his jurisdiction.
Gould Admit Negroes
"If he can take possession of the pub
lie schools of California and compel
the state to admit to them Japanese
students contrary to the laws of Cali
fornia, he could with equal propriety
send us an amendment to the Santo
Domingo treaty and demand the ad-
mission of the negro children of Santo
Domingo into the white schools of
South Carolina or any other state of
the Union.
!, "Of course, if the people have come
to the conclusion that everything that
the president recommends is right, then
there is hardly any use in contesting
any of his propositions, and instead of
comforting upon him the power to give
congress information of the state of
the union we might confer upon him
the function of furnishing his own
peculiar views upon the entire state of
or changes in the general
plan of creation that he may deem ex-
pedient, from the Grade to the grave.
Anticipates Cradle
"In fact, the president, upon page 20
of his message, anticipates the cradle
and makes a recommendation upon the
state of the Union that tends to place
In his hands the establishment of the
birth rate of the country. Now, If we
can only supplement this function by
giving him complete Jurisdiction over
the death rate, we will have a rule on
which his ubiquity is uncircumscribed
and whose unlimited possibilities are
beyond the reach of human contempla-
ton"
Mr.. Rayner coincided with what the
president had said in his message in
praise of the Japanese. His sympathies
had, he said, been with them during
the war with Russia, and he thought il
a great shame that Japan should have
been overpowered in the conference
room when she had been victorious on
the battlefield.
He proposed. he said, to discuss the
present question entirely outside of

the particular circumstances and plant

'First-That there is no provision
whatever in the treaty with Japan that
confers the right that the president
speaks Of or gives to the government Of
Japan the privilege 1t claims in con-
nection with the public school system
of California or of any other state.
"Second-If there is such a provision
In this treaty, or any other treaty con-

treaty UnconstItutionaI

The precise point involved" he said,
lis the tenth article of the constitution,
that powers not delegated to the United
States by the constitution nor prohibit
ed by It to the states are reserved to
the states respectively or to the peo-
pie"
Continuing Mr.. Rayner said:
THE power Of a state to regulate
its public school system is clearly
among its reserved powers. Have we,
therefore, right to provide in a treaty
that the citizens of foreign lands shall
possess privileges in the public schools
of the state that are prohibited either
by the constitution or the laws of the
state In which they are claimed? If we
can, in defiance of the laws and consti-
tuition of state, incorporate any such
provision In a treaty such as to bind
the state, then we can undoubtedly de-
prive the state of every reserved right
that ii possesses and rescind and annul
its laws and it's constitution when It
comes in conflict with the treaty maxi
ing power.

TrampIes on poetrine

"I trample upon this appalling doc

should creep into our judicial decisions
It would disfigure the constitution to
such an extent that its features would
be no longer capable of recognition.
1t would annul the charter; II would
frustrate the intention of the men who
had framed It.; it would undermine the
entire framework of the instrument and
it would convert us from a constitu-
tional government into a dictatorship
with the states in abject servitude to
federal power and with the executive
the republic"
