WHO SHALL LICK JAPAN

The Japs seem to be Hunting
Trouble.
Day by Day they Get More Cocky.
until their attitude promises soon
tn become one of pronounced inso-
lence.
Ever since fortuitous circum-
stances and the Indifference of Rus
sian soldiers permitted the Japs to
lick the Car, their heads have been
swelling
Their Conceit now is Appalling.
Having pummeled the big, blue
eyed, lamb-like Slav-who cared not
'Carramba'' for his country or its
corrupt government-the Jap has
come to consider himself invincible,
and vastly superior to the rest of
earth's mOrtals.
It's up to some power to Thresh
the Fat-headed Fop of Nippon, and
teach him his place.
If a quarrel comes between Uncle
Sam and Japan it will be of the lat
ter's seeking.
The Japs are Spelling for Fight
with somebody.
Their every attitude shows it.
In 1901, when the writer visited
Japan first, American tourists were
treated with respect and considera-
ton. American women could go
about the streets of the larger Jap
anese cities without fear of molest-
alton or insult.
Now all is Changed.
The people, inflamed by the rant
ing of a sensational press and agitat-
ed by the exhortatiOns of travelling
spell-binders, are ready for any rash
movement against Americans-or
any other foreigners, save English,
with whom they have treaty.
The local and insignificant insults
offered a few Japanese "hashers' in
San Francisco have been magnified
and enlarged by the japanese press
into outrages against the Japanese
nation, etc. ~ Il Ss&
Every month on the Japanese
coast American sailors and tourists
are "held up" cheated and swim
died by the avaricious Japs, and for
eigners in general so aggravated and
annoyed that life in Japan is becom-
ing almost impossible.
An American cannot own real es-
tate in Japan.
An American cannot own shares
in japanese Industrial concerns
An American cannot enter Jap
anese school, even for visit without
miles of red tape permission.
An American fighting with jap
anese must go to jail-there is no
method of escaping imprisonment
fines are not acceptable.
An American can get no justice in
Japanese courts.
An American is regarded as the
legitimate prey of trickster Japanese
business CD firms, and in litigation
the foreigner invariably gets
..stung," no matter what the evil
dence shows.
Japanese papers TEEN with slurs
upon American methods, especially
upon our merchant marine, and the
officers of our mercantile fleet. At
the time of the wreck of the Dakota
disrespectful cartoons and sighting
illusions to American navigators
abounded in the Jap press.
Japan demands" for her people
in this country what she haughtily
refuses to grant to Americans So
journing in Japan, scouting even 1t
the suggestion of such reciprocity.
Through deception, trickery, false
hood and deliberate swindling-per-
sisted in through many years
the Japs have so injured themselves
in the commercial center4 of the
Orient that their credit there is nil.
Nothing but an absolute water-tight
written contract, pronounced good
by squad of Philadelphia lawyers,
is accepted now in the Far East in
business transactions with Japanese.
The Chinese are head and should
ers above the willy Jap in the esti-
mate of men experienced in dealings
with Oriental people.
Peradventure Chink will remove
your epidermis in a business deal
he'll skin you If he can-but
