SStt4Fu' anu mat ther6 Is no Japanese
question, there IS strong anti-Japanese
! feeling throughout California and the
whole Pacific Coast, extending I'D into
the Dominion Of Canada" said Francis
G. Miller. OF San Francisco, at the New
Willard yesterday. Mr. Miller is engaged
In the Pacific Coast shipping trade.
and is deeply interested IN the japanese
question.
President Roosevelt has done every
thing in his power 10 allay the feeling
Of the Pacific Coast people in our troubles
with the japanese, and his action must
be regarded as a highly patriotic one
The United States Is not at present pre-
pared 10 have a physical dispute with
Japan. and IL diplomacy offers any hon
onorable means at all TO at least Temporal
riiy smooth matters over. let It be done.
After we are ready to insist on our rights
and demand respect for our laws and In
stitutions and the viii OF the people OF
this country. we will no longer temporlze
with the Japanese. but VIII state our at
titude clearly. and insist that our rights
De respected We need more ships for
our navy to do that. and Congress should

"A powerful navy stands for peace and
a large maritime trade. Look az Ger
many for illustration. Since that country
has started 10 build big navy her com
merce and trade in all parts Of the world
has assumed tremendous proportions.
England built Up her immense trade
everywhere because she had a powerful
nayy,which commanded respect for every
thing British everywhere.

Friedrich Wilhelm BOzenhardt. OF .Wurt-
temberg, Germany. who is on a tour OF
this country. Is registered at the New
Willard Mr.. Bozenhardt made some
unique observations regarding the So
called hustle" Of Americans.
We hear so much abroad" said Mr..
Bozenhardt, about American hustle and
hustle and energy and unceasing activity
that when we come to this country the
first thing is to look for that hustle and
hustle have not yet seen it. and I
must admit that am considerably dis
appointed In some things you Americans
are ahead. and hustle and hustle is 70
be seen in many Of your business trans
actions. But generally speaking. am OF
the opinion. there is more real business
spirit and hustle and hustle right in our
own Germany than may be found in the
United States.
fou have magnificent country. You
have country which teens with mineral
wealth and the resources Of the field and
the meadow and the orchard. You have
also thrifty people TO exploit these sources
OF natural wealth. Most OF these people
are foreigners, or the descendants of for
eigners. By these two means-the natural
wealth q the country and the foreign
laborer and wOrkingman-Americah has be
come rich Take the two away, and
America is Of little consequence. The
foreign immigrant made your country
! what 1t Is. and yet there Is a class OF
Americans. I understand. who place them
selves upon a high pedestal and profess
10 despise the foreigner because he is nor
a native. And these self-same anti-for-
eign Americans. in most cases, have for
eign parents.
America Is supposed to be a land
Where equality reigns. II is absurd 10
me. There are more titles to be found IN
washington than I could hunt up in the
"nole OF Germany. And I see that the
wealthy Americans are Just as eager az
the most rabid mOnarchist to marry their
daughters to titled foreigners"

experiment OF regulating the sale OF
liquors for medical purposes. known as
the disPensary system" said Garrett L.
Lamb. Of Guthrie, al the National last
night
The Oklahoma system" continued Mr..
Lamb, differs in all material respects
from dispensary schemes that have been
tried in other States. in that its purpose
Is TO absolutely check the sale OF LIQUOR
as beverage. and 10 hedge about its sale
as a medicine such restrictions that Il
cannot be sold for other purposes without
subjecting the violator Of the law to
term in the penitentiary.
About seventy-five agents have been
( appointed in the various counties so far
I TO manage local dispensaries. and a few
I OF them are already open for business.

a former resident Of Missouri. and very
properly has been chosen TO show the

pensaries in the interests OF prohibition.
