Action on California Measures Aimed
At Aliens Put On Temporarily by
Agreement.

Sacramento, CAL, Jan. 27.-Legisla-
tion against japanese was temporarily
put aside by the State legislature to-
day as result Of an agreement be-
tween President Roosevelt, Gov. GIL
let and the leaders Of both houses. As.
semblyman A. NJ. Drew agreed. after
q conference with the governor. to
amend his anti-alien bill. Grove L.
johnson was not willing to postpone
action on his Japanese bills. but q mo-
tion to put all the measures over for
q week prevailed with little opposi-
ton. The governor received the fol-
lowing telegram from the president
today:
II must again express from the
standpoint Of all our people the ap-
probation Of the great service that
you are rendering. I have absolute
and entire faith in the Judgment and
patriotism of the people of the great
State Of California and I know that
they will support you. Ny letter is
already on its way to you and you may
make 1t public whenever you desire"
Senator Mark Anthony introduced
In the upper house this morning a
joint resolution calling upon congress
to require that the Japanese consul
general at San Francisco be recalled
by his government on the ground that
the official had attempted to influence
the action Of the California legisla-
ture. The alleged affense Of the con-
sui was that he had called upon Gov.
Gillett and asked him to prevent the
enactment Of the anti-Japanese bills

Don't Ridicule Your Boy.
(Orison SWEET Marden, in Success Mag
azine.)

(orison SWEET Marden. in Success Mag
| axine.)
| Many boy has gone to bed in tears
because his father criticized or de-
aounced his effort at playing the vio-
lin; made fun Of simple little COM
position or story which he wrote; dis
couraged his attempt to make some
little mechanical device, or threw a
wet blanket on his dreams, laughing
at his prediction Of what he would do
in the future.
A man who has recently come into
great prominence In his profession
says that when. tremblingly. he told
his father what he wanted to be. he
was told that a padded cell was the
only place for boy with such crazy
ideas. and that he was forced for
years to do that which God had for
hidden in every fiber of his being, and
against which every drop of blood in
him protested.
The father who has made up his
mind that his son must continue his
business and keep his estate intact, is
not In a position to decide on the boys
bent---his special aptitude. He Is pre-
JUDGED at the very outset.
The reason why there are so many
mediocre men and women in the
world. and SO many failures, is be-
cause they never found their right
places.
Everywhere we see men and wo-
men, capable of much better things,
who were discouraged and diverted
from their natural bent when young.
Their own families did not take stock
In them: they laughed at their young
ambitions. and strangled their aspira-
tions, either by harsh treatment or.
what is even worse. ridicule; and their
teachers did not understand them.
You cannot read the sealed message
which God has wrapped up in your
boy or girl, and you should regard it
as sacred. You should respect the
dreams Of future greatness of your
son. because the Creator may have in
tended him for a grand and far
reaching mission. You cannot tell
what possibilities are locked in his
brain. He may be perfectly conscious
at this moment that he was intended
for much higher place in the world
thsn you are occupying yourself, and
to denounce him. to scoff at his
dreams, to laugh at his predictions for
the future may be a source Of great
humiliation to you some day. 1t may
also work incalculable injury to your
boy. A thousand times better strike
him with your hand than blast his
hopes by ridicule or by cruel, Chill
Ing. cutting word.

May NOT MOVE AIKEN LEPER.
Believed That Injunction Will BE
Made Permanent.

Augusta. Ca, Jan. 2S.-The hear
ing was continued In the injunction
proceedings against moving Miss
kirke. the Aiken leper. from her
house. Captain Sawyer, her attorney,
raised the constitutional question that
she was about to be imprisoned with
out an opportunity Of being heard. 1t
was proved by nuemrous leprosy au-
thorities that Miss Kirke is completely
cured.
1t appears her condition has been
greatly exaggerated. All her fingers
and toes are perfect. axcept the first
finger on each hand. OF which one
joint is gone. but the nubs are healed.
The opinion is that the injunction will
be made permanent.
