JAPANESE SASSY
IN CALIFORNIA.
Mr.. Mc0uady, A Former Kentuck.
ian Writes Interestingly About
The japanese Situation
In California.
WAR PAINT ON BATTLESHIP

Dear Sir: Permit me the space, lyon
think appropriate, to write few lines
for orr paper about the japanese stu
alton in America. But my understand
ing is not so good as my speech. The
question | and others want answered is
elbow much farther is this Japanese
American farce going before it turns
into tragedy" One thing we know,
sooner or later "the pot must boil. :"
And the feeling in California today is at
the highest against the Japs. The bill
was passed in the State Legislature ex-
GLIDING Japanese children from our
schools. But the opinion is the Governor
will not veto it as it will conflict with
our treaty with Japan.
President Roosevelt is being criticized
for his attitude towards all bills that
have tendency toward Japanese ex-
clusion. He sees it would be mistake
to pass such laws now. 1t would cause
war with Japan. But If war alone is
the thing that will prevent US from be-
ing crowded off onr native land, for
one would welcome the war.
Who is this country, Japan, that it
should demand such consideration?
Just a little while ago America and
England helped Japan on her feet. Now
she is sassy and unruly, and may need
to be whipped.
OF course, all the States have not the
same opinion of the Japs as California.
but if they had as many to deal with as
California does they would.
A few years ago all the hotel help
here was Japanese, and all the rich
houses hired them for servents, but be-
fore long they got to know more than
their employers. They are very in
qusitive. They have been caught
several times within our Forts prying
around to see what we had to fight with
until Uncle, Sam had to say to Admiral
Evans, Bob take our fleet around by
Japan and show the little boys what we
have" This cost Uncle Sam twenty
million dollars.
The feet has arrived safely to the At
lsntc Coast and the rext thing on pro-
gram was the arrival of Cruiser Buff
falo" which came into SanFrAncisco this
morning with full coat of war paint
which is causing much speculation, for
battleship to wear war paint in time
of peace. Japan has also shipped two
| 2 inch guns to Manila, each weighing
81 tons; besides several million rifle
cartridges.
1t looks like war.
Yours Truly.

WHITE PLAGUE ON INCREASE
Tuberculosis Has Grown 33 Per
Cent in New York.

Washington.-That the vigorous cam
paign against tuberculosis has failed to
check the great white plague was the
startling charge made by Nathan Straus,
the New York philanthropist, at the fifth
annual meeting of the National Associa-
ton for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis.
MIR. Straus backed up his assertion by
official statistics from the New York
health department, showing an increase
of 33 per cent in two years in cases of
tuberculosis in the city that DIR. Koch
described as leading the whole world in
the fight against the disease.
The reason for this failure to make
Roadway, Mr.. Straus declared, was the
neglect of the mischief wrought by the
tuberculosis dairy. Citing the results of
scientific investigation and his own eigh-
teen years experience in saving lives, he
summed up by saying that the abolition
of tuberculosis would begin when it was
made a crime to sell milk unless it came
from tubercoine tested cows or had been
properly. pasteurized.

MILLIONARES TO Pen
JOE BAILEY WOULD IMPRISoN
STEEL TRUST OFFICERS.
Declares Fines Have No Effect on
Trust, as They Are Paid
by the People.

MISUNDERSTANDING directly to the
United States Steel Corporation and
charging that organization with violat-
ing the antitrust laws of the country,
Senator Bailey Thursday in addressing
the senate on the tariff bill, declared
that if the officers of the law do their
duty the steel trust would be dissolved
and said he expected eventually to see
this done.
He added that if the present admins
tration fails in it's duty in that respect
the people of the country would choose
other officials to represent them, and he
declared his firm belief that the officers
of the steel corporation would be either
imprisoned or made fugitives from JUS
tice.
"Just put one of these malefactors of
great wealth in the penitentiary and you
will see the antitrust law enforced with
out further violations" said Mr. Bailey.
"Send one of these men who may be
violating either the interstate commerce
law or the antitrust law to the peniten-
tiary, and you will stop these violations
by Others"

In his most subtle way he declared
that while he believed in the integrity of
the committee, still he saw no reason
why certain schedules had been advanced
over the House bill. Inferentially he said
that Aldrich was to blame. Aldrich was

YOUNG ROOSEVELT LOST.
Spends Night Riding Around in
Heart of Jungle

Nairobi, British East Africa.-Kermit
Roosevelt lost his way from his fathers
camp near Machakos Friday and spent
an entire night alone on horseback riding
through region unknown to him. On
Saturday morning he turned up at Kiu,
a station en- the railway, inquiring there
the way to camp. He was given the de-
sired directions.
The region in which Kermit Roosevelt
is reported to have been lost lies between
the Athi river and the Uganda railway.
Kin, where he finally found himself, is
about fifty miles below Nairobi and 80
or 40 miles southeast of Machakos.
There is an old cart road from Machakos
to Kin, but otherwise the country and
the region thereabouts is very sparsely
inhabited by natives of the Wakamba
tribe, peaceful people, engaged chiefly
in agriculture.

LIGHT BOOZE
Do You Drink 1t?

A minister's wife had quite q tussle
with coffee and her experience is in
teresting. She says:
During the two years of my train
ing as a nurse, while on night duty,
became addicted to coffee drinking Be-
tween midnight and four in the morn
ing, when the patients were asleep,
there was little to do except make the
rounds, and it was quite natural that
l should want good, hot cup of cot
fee about that time. 1t stimulated me
and could keep awake better.
after three or four years of coffee
drinking l became a nervous wreck
and thought that simply could not
live without my coffee. All this time
I was subject to frequent bilious at
lacks, sometimes SO severe as to keep
me in bed for several days.
AFTER being married, Husband
begged me to leave off coffee for he
feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so resolved to
make an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.
Il began taking Postum, and for a
few days felt the languid, tired feeling
from the lack of the stimulant, but l
liked the taste of Postum and that
answered for the breakfast beverage
all right.
Finally began to feel clearer head
ed and had steadier nerves. After a
years use of Postum now feel like
new woman-have not had any bilious
attacks since | left off coffee"
