Receiving Those Japs

"Palsied be the hand and mute be the
tongue, be 1t Japanese or American that Is ever
responsible for sending our two nations to war;"
This beautiful little curse in advance the
climax of the greeting Tuesday of this week
to the visiting Japanese cruiser folks by Dr. John
Baer, who seems to have been the whole cheese
in the welcoming act at Pasadena, southern Cali
fornia.
The japanese visitors sat up and blinked
vigorously, whether because the curse was so hot
or so silly they don't state No individual tongue
or hand is going to start war between the
japanese and American nations. If ever
comes, 1t will come because of demand by a
very large majority of the people, that DR..
Baer has really fired his curse at the people,
which Is a silly thing to do.
We herein present Dr. Baer's Stiffness as a
sort of object lesson of warning to later coast
orators who may be called upon to formally well
come visitors from Japan. These visitors
should be treated royalty and generously and
sensibly, not in crawling toadying spirit.
1t Will be all right to nice things about Japan
1t will be all wrong to hurl advance curses at
nation which may be justly involved in diff
ficulty with the honorable Japs, and it will be
both wrong and foolish to initiate DIR. Baer,
assume the character of the heavy villain and
roar dramatically "Cursesi the beautiful maiden
can outrun me- Palsy to her running gear!"
And doing reception committees
kindness by warning them against selecting doc
tors as their orators. Doctors are necessities and
mighty good people, in their Places but instances
are rare wherein doctor took turn at public
oratory and didn't succeed in putting his foot in
his mouth, and the feet of most of his friends
in addition.

away. He was disgraced! What
would Norah say?
Then the sound of scuffling far
ther down the hallway brought
him to attention with a start. Per-
haps he was not too late to help
Mcguire in capturing the other
Iyeggman. Casey hurried down
the hall, rather unsteadily, because
of the whirring in his head. When
he reached the spot where the
noise had come from, he stumbled

he saw both of the yeggmen, ter
ribly cut and bruised about the
race and head, lying on the floor

ness, each had thought the other
policeman, and in the resulting
night both had gone down and
out.
Oddly enough, Casey, green as
he was, had sense enough to hand
CUR both of them and lead them
TO the street. A surprised look
passed over the chiefs face when
he saw Casey leading out the two.
