FINDS SENTIMENT IN
JAPAN MOST KIND
Chamber of Commerce Representative
Returns from Official Visit Con-
WINGED of Good Feeling
Toward America

1.-THE Japanese credit the new, the
progressive, the enlightened Japan to
America, and no country in the world
is more friendly to the United States
than the kingdom of the mikado,"
said Alfred P. Griffith of the Griffith
Fruit association at Azusa, Cal. Mr..
Griffith has just returned from Japan,
whittier he went as representative
of the Los Angeles chamber of COM
merce, in company with other dele
gates of chambers of the Pacific coast,
to promote commercial interests be-
tween Japan and the United States.
1.-The chief aim of Japan" continued
Mr.. Griffith, lis to become great
commercial nation. At present the
principal demand from Japan is for
machinery and raw material, but
prophesy that it will not be long url-
til the Japanese are manufacturing
their own machinery.
although the greater part of their
machinery is imported from France
and England they get a great deal of
raw material from the states. A large
amount of the cotton used by them is
grown in Texas and other states of
the Union. The people of Japan are
interested in America and the mer-
chants are anxious to trade with the
merchants of this country"

the people will give with confidence
to an enterprise with The Herald ana
the efficient committees cooperating
with it.
IF we had more Christmas cele-

children our criminal costs would be

for money to think of the little folks
who yearn for Santa Claus and the
joys the season brings. We ought to
see to it in every detail that no child

note was taken of the man, who did
not even stop for a receipt.
The next day the Christmas editor
of The Herald acknowledged receipt
of the donation and referred to the
money having been brought in by
big fireman." basing the printed de-
scription on remarks of the clerks.
Next day the same man re-entered
the office, saying that he thought it
good joke to be described as a big
man, adding that he was one Of the
smallest men in the department. His
looks confirmed this. He insisted on
depositing another dollar, merely ask
ing that the money be credited to a
small fireman" This was done.
Sunday he came again, bringing a
retter of good wishes and sending an
other dollar with it, making the third.

Editor Herald: Your endeavors on

one who is drawing a fair salary
ought to contribute at least ST.
81 have myself given you So toward
the dinner and would still deny myself
more for the pleasure of seeing the
smiles come back to the faces of some
of the more unfortunate children Of
Los Angeles.
This city, with its wealth, ought to
provide annually for the wants of the
dear children whom Santa Claus
passes by. If the wealthy people
would only send in their checks to The
Herald office Santa Claus would be a
very tired person when he got through
visiting the poor children of this city.
ut is a grand work. God bless the
Y. M. c. A. in helping.
81 want to be able to glance at the
throngs of children whose hearts will
be made glad through your valuable
assistance and that of kndhearted citi-
zens. One more dollar / give, and only
wish it was $50 But if every one gives
dollar there will be smiles on many
faces that otherwise would have gone
to bed with tears trickling down.
LET the good work go on. 1t is a
grand work I myself do not desire any
publicity; all 1 ask is to assist in same
seeing that 1 do my duty (Which 1 con-
slider it isl to assist financially and
otherwise a worthy cause.
81 hope that children who have
parents that are capable of caring for
them will not force themselves into
position to the disadvantage of some
poor deserving child.
Thanking you for the privilege Of
taking your valuable time and in being
able to assist you in. your good work

I desire to express my sincere

port you gave me at the primaries,
September s. I assure you I APP
preciate the same very much indeed
I also desire to say to YOU that I

My reasons for this step are two
fold. First have been earnestly
solicited by friends from all parts of
the county to make the race. Sec
ond-I feel that did not have fair
chance at the primaries, as one of
my opponents during the campaign
circulated the reports that did not
have 'the ghost of a show" and
that had withdrawn from the
race" BY these reports I lost many
votes.
Hence, I make this appeal to you
for your support -gain at the Novem-
Der election. Trusting you will ia
