Rights, State and National.

Senator Caminetti. who introduced the
senate, says:
'Since the question of admitting Japa-
nese children in our public schools Is again
said that the state has no Jurisdiction
thereof owing to our treaty with Japan,
1t becomes the duty Of the legislature to
consider 1t for no other reason than to
assert the sovereignty of California and
the right to conduct and control our public
schools system, rights which are not and
cannot, under our system OF government,
be the subject of treaty stipulatiohs with
any foreign government.
This, it appears to me, we should do,
lest, by acQulescence and silence, we
stimulate the movement now encroaching
upon the rights Of the states
The rights of the states are very i'm
portant, but SO also are the rights of the
nation. Let US render unto the states the
things that are the states. and unto the
nation the things that are the nations.
The argument set forth by the Cali
fornians urging anti-Japanese legislation
runs like this: I'VE have a problem In this
state which the east does not understand,
own notions. It is distinctly our own
affair No power shall deprive US Of the
right to legislate as we see At In any
and all matters relating to our local or
der We did not invite the japanese here
We are sorry they are here. If we
could command II, every man of them
should be required to sail for home
tomorrow. But while they remain it must
be on our terms. Wen segregate them
in schools and other wise II we think best.

The Census Bill Veto.

From the New York Times.
1t is not probable that the bill will be
passed In the House. where it had. its
origin, over the veto of the President
That would require a two-thirds vote
which would necessarily include nearly
all the democrats. We cannot imagine
these being So foolish and petty as to
vote against the President simply to ag'
gravate the differences between him and
his party. Even il the greater number
of them did SO, it is inconceivable tina,
the republicans would desire to make ar
open issue with the leader Of their party
on a question as to which they are SC
clearly wrong and their motives SO OBJ
viously Interested. But if they were rash
and stubborn and stupid enough to do this
they would probably have nothing to show
for IT, 1t has been suggested that in case
Of the veto being Overridden. the Presi
dent would proceed promptly to issue ar
order under the statutes regulating the
civil service requiring competitive exam

people will abandon the habit altogether.
Not in arrogance, but in sober truth. we
think our way OF doing business the bet
ter. and that our good friends in Panama
will greatly profit if in this particular
at least they will consent to steer by US
A warm campaign until the voters have
spoken. and then an acceptance OF the
result, and good feeling between parties.
No Americans can advise this course
with better grace than Judge Taft. And
just now the subject Is fresh In his mind
He has been living for weeks with his
political opponents, sampling their good
nature and their food, and giving and
receiving assurances OF the best personal
feeling. They voted against him. but
have accepted the result against them
selves. and are wishing him success with
his administration. In fact, they are
looking to profit by success IL IT Is
achieved. If the country thrives under
the Taft policies. the democrats will. OF
course, share in 1t. Why should not they
cotton to him now that he stands forth
with the majority's Endorsement?
The Obaldias, the Amadors and the
Ariases should learn the lesson and ap-
ply 1t. Let them campaign with all their
might while campaigning is In order.
but have 1t all out at the polls. and then
cool off. Let the winners take their
victory without Wanting. and the losers
their defeat without anger or undue de-
preston. Then let both sides get ready
for feast loading down the table with
the tropical equivalents of Georgia pos
sum and potatoes. and New Orleans kick
shaws. and sit down together In per-
soma! friendship with pledges of good
wishes. That is the proper way to run
a government Of the people. by the peo-
pie and for the people. and that Is the
sort of government all Of the Latin
American countries should strive for
They may not want it, but they will not
be happy or prosperous until they get It.

Watterson.

Time may change the resolution Mr..
Watterson announces respecting the flu
ture. His grief is great and green, and ii
- easy to understand his present mood
A man OF strong attachments. and un-
usually blessed and happy in his domes-
tic relations, his recent losses have over
whelmed him. But his nature is buoyant,
and the knowledge that the widest and
deepest sympathy is felt for him should
in time restore his interest in the world
and lead him back into his old activities
Mr.. Watterson's oratory is not SO cele-
brated as are his journalistic contribu-
tons, but he is an orator of much charm,
and some of his most notable perform
ances have been on the lecture platform
and in political conventions. His perma-
nent withdrawal from the field as q
speaker would be a loss to our national
life.

Taft as Peacenaker.

In cable from Panama appeared this
bit of gossip:
'Mr. and Mrs. Taft attended this even
ing banquet given by Mr.. Sauiers. the
American minister. Among the guests
were the leaders of the rival Panama
political factions, who became quite
friendly under Mr.. Tafts influence. Hith-
erto the animosity between them has been
extremely bitter
Mr.. Taft insisted that Ricardo Arias
the opponent of Obaldia in the latest
presidential election. should be invited ia
the dinner. 1t was the first time the two
rivals have come together on a friendly
basis. Harmony. II is quite certain, would
benefit the United States i'm many ways.
Mr.. Taft has maintained an attitude o.
impsrtialty. He showed this by VISITING
former President Amador yesterday He
will attend a state ball given in his honor
on Friday night. and also a reception
under the auspices of the Red Cross So.
ciety tomorrow"
Judge Taft Is overlooking no points In
the game. and this point has its i'm.
portance. The course of Latin-Americar
politics is its bitter personal side. You,
political opponent is too often your enemy
and you his. Scowis on the street, and
pistol shots at the drop of a hat This
spirit. spreading from individuals te
crowds, brings about revolutions The
appeal Is to the cartridge box instead OF
to the ballot box. as has wittily been said
and stable government becomes i'm.
possible.
We are closer to Panama than to any
other government to the south of U.s. and
our relations with her must remain init.

the President and treaties to the con-
trary. notwithstanding"
And yet the nation has a say-a great
big say The Japanese in this country
have rights guaranteed by the nation OF
which they may not be deprived by any
state. They look to the nation for pro-
lection and the nation must protect them.
California cannot deport people at her
pleasure. nor mistreat them while they
reside within her borders. She possesses
no such rights, and flies in the face Of the
national welfare when she essays to exer-
else such power.
Az we all know, should California pro-
woke war between this country and Japan
she would render but a very limited serv-
ice to the American cause. Doubtless she
would do her best, but that would not be
much. She would be exposed to the
enemy, and that would bring her cuddling
to the national power. The only states
rights we should hear about then would
be the rights Of a state to the protection
Of her sister states in the contest against
the foreigner.
In this matter let US have not only the
nations rights. but the nations duty
thoroughly defined, and then upheld. The
United States and Japan are on terms OF
friendship. Americans are residing IN
Japan, and Japanese are residing in
America. The two countries trade with
each other. Efforts are constantly MAX
ing to increase this trade, and as trade
increases bonds strengthen. And Cali
fornia not only enjoys but solicits part
Of the trade. Why. then, should she essay
to take the whole matter into her own
hands, and for the express purpose of
offending Japan and causing the gravest
complications?
1t has been decided by an awful appeal
to arms that a state cannot secede from
the Union. Where the nations interests
are involved they are superior to state 8
interests. Can a state claim the right to
embroil the nation with a foreign power
when the nations interests demand peace,
and peace exists?
