GOOD ROADS

A N eastern correspondent, who repre-
u sents big automobile interests
- writes: I'm the automobile race
trip from New York to Paris read tho
report of one of the foreign contestants
having arrived at San Bernardino ana
having there found beautiful broad
paved boulevard sixty miles straight
into Los Angeles. Is 1t fact that one
can ride in an automobile from Los An
geles to San Bernardino over such
highway? When / get to California l
hope to have a machine, and would
look forward to such ride when
would include Redlands and Riverside,
with very pleasurable expectation.
Good roads for California from every
point of view are a necessity. There
must be good roads and plenty OF them,
in every part of this state. because
there is not part of the state which
would not be tempting to touring auto
mobiles. Good roads greatly increase
the prosperity and wealth of a COM
munity. They are the best investment
that can be made. They add to farm
values by making markets more ac-
cessible. They attract pleasure traffic.
They advertise. open up and develop
the country.

WORLDWIDE INTEREST
JAPANESE IN SAN FRANCISCO

any relation between these things may
be denied by official washington hut
then did not official Washington DENY
that the fleet would so to the Pacific at
all? This same official Washington de-
MES that the fleet will stay In the PaL
cific, but. Since the time that the
president sent q message to congress
jumping on the Californians for their
attitude toward the Japanese there has
been strong movement for Japanese
exclusion law This agitation has been
kept submerged by official pressure be-
cause of the effort being made to bring
about a peaceful settlement of the
question which would save the face of
the Japanese under the "most favored
nation" agreement.
The same Japan which was so threat
ening when the school question first
arose has since consented to restrict
immigration to America IL no exclusion
bill be passed, The agreement was ac-
cepted, but the Japanese continue to
come In. The laxity of the Japanese
officials in enforcing the restriction
agreement has been the subject of dip

turn to his neighbor to say: THAT will
keep the Japanese on their own side Of
the sea-"
1t is the presence of the fleet and the
cessation OF threats from Japan that
makes the difference In the situation
here. Little is said nowadays about the
Japanese in San Francisco, but there
has been no change In feeling among
the Americans of the city, AS In every
other Pacific coast city, they declare
that the Japanese must be kept out OF
the country, that they are more dan
gerous and much more undesirable than
the Chinese, and that II the Japanese
government will not restrict the imnf-
grafton as promised, then this govern
ment must enact an exclusion law for
the protection of the American civilian
ton and institutions of the western
states.
