The Japanese Pother.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


The NEST sensible word spoken relative
to the exclusion of Japanese men and chill
dren from the San Francisco white schools
is the calm. dignified statement issued by
ViscOunt Aoki the Japanese minister to
Washington.
There is~no agitation in Japan. there is
no feeling against the United States among
our people. 1t is all in San Francisco aud
in Europe and in the newspapers Our
people fully advised of the facts We
are willing to leave everything to your
President and your Secretary OF State and
your courts
1t may be questioned whether his conf
dence In the judgment of our impetuous
and imperiCuS President, who seems to
essay the role Of Il sovereign ruler in a
country not accustomed to the restraints
and guidance provided by courts and con-
situations. has not been misplaced. Nothing
can be more i'll advised and more calculat ted
to stir up needless strife and contention
than the Presidents references in his
message 10 the japanese question.

JAPAN IN THE MESSAGE
EDITORIAL COMMENTS ON THE

From the New York Herald.

There Is not much likelihood that Amert-

startling views regarding the Japanese. For
this reason his amazing message to Con-
gress Will certainly prove a boomerang and

The Japanese Question.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
The more one considers the matter the
more he is convinced that there Is only
thing for the President to do in respect to
the Japanese demand for admission to the
California white schools. That is to uphold
the right of the people of that state to sep
arate the different races as much as they
wish always with the proviso that equal

William Mckinley, we think. would have
phrased differently the message of solace
for Japan and OF admonition for San Fran
cisco which President Roosevelt included in
his annual discourse to Congress upon the
affairs of the nation. Nevertheless, we hope
the people of San Francisco will not permit
their susceptibilities to be unduly rufIled
by anything Mr.. Roosevelt has said or by
the way in which he has said it. If the pas
sage in, question had been plainly labeled
