Raps California Legislators.

an this country of ours we are far
from free of being guilty of all these
diseases Of war. The gentlemen who
introduced into the legislature of Cal
~ifornia, of oMntana and Nevada, the
legislation regarding the treatment of
the Japanese in those state doubtless
had no conception of the fact that
they were doing to that great nation
of gentlemen, of soldiers, of scholars,
Of scientists, of statesmen-a nation
worthy of challengig and receiving
the respect, the honor and homage of
mankind-an injury by an insult that
would bring on private wal in any pri-
vate relation in our W country.
Thank heaven, the wiser heads and
the sounder hearts, instructed and en-
lightened upon the true nature of the
proceedings, prevailed and overcame
the inconsiderate and t%houghtless.
But a few days ago a member of
the house of representatives, with no
other apparent purpose than to make
himself prominent by an attack upon
the chief magistrate of the little re-
public Of Panama a fraudulent con-
spiracy with regard to a contract In
der negotiation by the government of
that country regarding the forests of
Panama. All Panama was instantly
alive with just indignation.
These are the things that make
for war, and If you would make for
peace you will frown on them, con-
denim them, o~stracise and punish by
all social penalties the men who are
| guilty of them, until 1t Is understood
and felt that an insult to a friendly
| foreign power is q disgrace to the in
suffer, upon a level with the crimes
that we denounce and for which we
infict ~disgraceful punishment by
law"

Root Wars Upon War A~gitators.

In this connection Eiibu Root said:
81 agree with Mr.. Choate that there
is no Inconsistency between the work
of a secretary of war and a secretary
of peace, because 81 long as selfish
ness and greed and willingness to do
injustice and brutality continues in
this world, we must have the police
man, and the international policeman
whose presence makes the use of his
club unnecessary is the army and
navy.
'Tf we would have peace it is not
enough to cry peace peace 1t is
essential that we should promote and
insist upon the willingness of our
country t. do justice to all countries
of the earth.
WAR comes today as the result
either of actual or threatened wrong
by one country to another, or as the
result of a suspicion by n country
that another intends to do it wrong.
The least of these three causes of
war Is actual injustice.

executive committee of the lesgus,
which will meet in October. DR.. Osu.
