EDITORIAL expressions on the
IL japanese school question of Cali
fornia in the English press Of
Japan is divided pro and con.
While it goes without saying that the
Jill and Nichi Nichi and the Hochi all
have an exalted opinion of the courage
of the President of the United States,
yet the English speaking people living
In Japan are able to see two sides of
the question at issue. The Japanese
Advertiser says in an editorial:
Throughout this AFFAIR it has ap-
peared to US that the Japanese are
admirably exemplifying the pro
verbal fault of the Dutch" 1t must
be admitted that if they could point
comedies them the right Of free edu-
cation their position would be amply
justified; but this they have entirely
it is merely President Roosevelt's
very natural and laudable desire to
maintain amicable relations with this
country and to arrive at some salts
factory solution of the present diff
Guilty that has prevented him from
pointing out to Viscount Aoki the in
herent absurdity of basing a claim
not to free education even, for the
California authorities do not refuse
to grant that-but to mixed educa-
tion with American children.
If the Japanese or their advocates
can detect any reference to educa-
tion, either direct or implied, in the
foregoing. they must be gifted with
that particular brand of -eyesight so
eloquently described by Mr.. Samuel
Weller Jr. If it be true. as certain
kilograms report. that President
Roosevelt has admitted that this
clause comedies the right to free edu-
cation, all we can say is, and we
say it reluctantly, that, he has been
guilty of an error of Judgment, from
a good-natured desire to placate Jap
anese SIsceptibilities.
In a later edition the editor of the
Advertiser expresses his views on local
affairs in San Francisco in the follow
ing allusion to Mayor Schmitz:
1t is to be regretted that the Jap
anese side of the case should be
prejudiced by the interested support
Schmitz. to wit. 1t is evident that he
has hopes of making some political
capital out of the school afrair, since
1t is not easy to believe that a man
wise risk unpopularity with the labor
element by championing the cause
of the Japanese. At the same time.
whatever his motives may be. he
can persuade the State Legislature to
accept a clause limiting the age Of
Japanese children entitled to receive
a free education
The Japanese Daily Mail takes the
other side of the controversy and holds
that the treaty guarantees free eduea-
tfon under the most favored nation
clause. 1t suggests for Americans
way out of the dilemma in the follow
ing:

Carlton c. Crane is the general pas

Edward Chambers and family left
for Chicago last night to attend the
meeting of the transcontinental lines,
which will be held about January 20.
Chambers will stop over at several
places on his way East. This meeting
promises to be an important one, as
decision will be made as to the form
of the tariff, so as to make it uniform
and in compliance with the law The
rules as to minimum weight viii also

One of the most important matters TO
be discussed will be the competition

activities of this road with consid-
erable disgust and something will have
