Further examination of the witness led

District Attorney Baker. he stated he had
made up memorandum on the case some

SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1907.
Though time be an enemy 10 the
person, he is a friend to the mind
CoWper.
The President and the Mikado.

What mean these war rttrnors from
Washington We do not know, but there
Is ground for suspicion that they were
inspired and set anoat to intimldate the
san Francisco authorities and bend them
to the Presidents will.
Mr.. Roosevelt was born to command. at
least In his own estimate of himself. and
he Is utterly intolerant of any opposition
to his will. He issued decree from
Washington commanding the San Fran
cisco school board to admit the Japs to
the white schools. and he has since
brought all possible pressure to bear. We
cannos but feel that in pursuing this
much by a desire to appease the Japan
csc as to bring the Californians to his
own terms. The President is a fighting
man. and he is not in the habit OF yield
ing 10 dictation from any source, least
of all from foreign power. In
any other situation. IL the Jap
arese government for such n slen-
der cause. had threatened President
Roosevelt with an .ultimatum," the prob
ability is that he would have told the
Japs to do their worst. But he is un-
willing 10 admit TO the Mikado that his
authority is deded in California, and that
he. as ruler OF the United States. is
unable to enforce his DEGREES in an indi-
vfdpal state.
We may be doing the President an in
Justice. but that is the appearance of the
case.
Whether so or not, however, the de-
mand of the japanese upon the Prcs-
dent is utterly unreasonable and the de-
mand of tho President upon the Cali
fornians equally so. The United states
government contributes not one cent to-
ward the public school system OF Califor-
MIA and has no authority whatsoever
over tile schools OF that state. California
is sovereign State. and it is her pre-
rogatIve to make rules and regulations for
her schools. In our view she is under
no obligation to educate the Japanese
children at her own cost, but when She
has provided for them schools which are
as good as the schools provided for her
own children. SHE has certainly done her
full duty: and when the United States
government undertakes to compel her to
satat the Japarase to ,.tho white schools,
It is guilty 'of tyfannical usurpation.
It Is said that when the San Francisco
school officials arrive IN Washington they
will bs informed by the President that
their local prejudice and provincial OBJ
stinacy may plunge the nation into a
desperate war II So tho Californians
should tell him that life is not so dear
nor peace so sweet as TO DO purchased
with the sacrifice OF self-respect and the
welfare OF their own children. And they
would Se app!auded and supported by
every manly American citizen
The Mkado may browbeat President
Roosevelt, but the President cannot brow
beat the proud people OF sovereign
Etate into a surrender at his dlctum of
q God-given instinct.
