PRESIDENT HAS
NO DESIRE TO
AROUSE JAPS
ROOSEVELT URGES CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE TO HOLD UP DIS
CRIMINATORY LAW.
ADVISES TWO YEARS. DELAY,
Recognizes Sentiment in West, but
Thinks Mikado's People Would
Take Some Offense.
PROPOSED BILL FAR REACHING

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 81
President Roosevelts second letter to
Gov. Gillett of California relating to
the Japanese situation, now on its way
to the chief executive of California, will
not be made public at the white house,
the discretion OF doing this being left
with the governor.
The letter is understood to advise
against legislation of any kind at this
time bearing upon the Japanese, even if
not directly discriminating against the
citizens of Japan. At the same time the
President recognizes the existence of a
sentiment favoring a non-discriminatory
law prohibiting aliens from holding land
IN the state and it will be pretty clear
from this letter and from talks he has
had with California congressman, in
Guiding short conference with Senator
Flint, that he would not oppose such q
law. He does not want it understood,
however, that he encourages or desires a
law of this kind, because the Japanese
may regard it as being aimed at them,
although they may accept its provisions
without remonstrance.
Better Wait Two Years.
The President strongly thinks that if
ing the developments of the next two
years as to immigration. Senator Flint
understands the Presidents attitude to
be one of opposition to legislation of any
sort, but in spite of the inclination of
the California people to follow the lead
ership of the President whenever posi-
bic. the senator is convinced that there
Will be a law of non-ownership of land
by aliens This will reach the Japanese
directly, although all aliens will be on
practically the same footing and Japan
could not officially make protest.
Needham Sees President.
Representative Needham of California
visited the President today in behalf of
Assemblyman Drew, the author of the
bill pending in the state Legislature pro-
hibiting alien ownership, Mr. Drew desir-
ing to know just what the Presidents
wishes were. The President let it be
known that he would not interfere
against a non-discriminatory law if it
contained a provision that would prevent
it being in conflict with existing treaties
with Japan or other countries. Interpre-
tation of the effect of such a law in con-
nectlon with the existing treaties is that
1t would prohibit japanese owning agri-
cultural or other lands except those to
be used for commercial purposes and
there could be no interference with own
ershlp of lands for commercial use.

No good is any good unless it is

You can usually tell a mans size

There never can be sufficient pub
lie virtues in q life to balance private

You do not secure a clean bill for
yourself by indicting the rest of hu-
mainly.
The worst failures are those sue
cesses that have come at the cost of

It's no use talking about having

THE SONG OF ZACHARIAS.

Text-Luke i: 67-G9.
From the turrets of the Temple at
Jerusalem you could see the white
roofs of the town of Hebron against
a background of green hills. Here it
was that John, the forerunner of Je-
suS was born. He was, you know, q
child who was marked out by signs
and tokens as one who would be differ
ent from others, one who had a great
and extraordinary work to do in
the world. The people of Hebron
had heard many rumOrs about the
father of this baby boy having
seen an angel and that ever since
Zacharias had been dumb and in
that way unable to unfold any Sc
crets told him by the heavenly visitor.
SO they eagerly crowded to the priests
house on the day appointed for the
infant to be devoted to God. All at
once, while the question was whis-
pered round what manner of child
shall this be?" Zacharias' speech re-
turned, and filed with the Spirit of
prophecy he cried out "This child shall
be called the Prophet of the Highest,
for Thou shalt go before the face of
the Lord to prepare His way" His
song of praise is Il beautiful one.
Like the aged Simeon, he compares
the coming of Christ to the coming Of
light to them that sit in darkness.
When Jesus comes, He comes like
the day Opening-the dawn. He comes
very quietly, just a little light, and
then a little more, but not much at
the sulks, and does cheerfully what
mother bids her do, so as to please Je-
sus, then that is Jesus coming into
the heart like the light just a little
wants most, so as to please some other,
for Jesus sake, then it is the dawn;
it is Jesus coming into the heart. Lit
tie beginnings make great endings.
The important thing is that you do be-
gin. How do YOU begin the day?
Many of you end it with q sweet little
prayer that says,
''NOw I lay me down to sleep,
I pray thee, Lord, by soul to keep"
Here is little prayer for the morn
ing:
"And now 1 rise and see the light,
1 pray thee, Lord, to lead me right
In all 1 do, and think, and say,
I pray thee, Lord, to guide the way"
