To Define Policy

Asahi, in commenting on the CalifOr-
MIA affair, expresses the hope that while
the diet is in session the government
will seize an early opportunity to de-
fine the governments policy and to ex-
press gratitude to those Americans who
are exerting their efforts to prevent the
passage of legislation inimical to Japan.

"1OKLO. Jan. 25.-Marquis Kat

Komura. the minister of foreign af-
fairs. and viscount Terauchi. the min
lister of war, made brief speeches
today before the diet In answer to the
reduction in ornaments and foreign
policy questions that have been pro-
pounded to various members of the
cabinet All of the speeches, which
were practically of the same tenor, said
that Japan's relations with the powers
OF the world were so improved that the
reductions were fully warranted.
Guided by World Conditions
Premier Katsura said that in such
matters the Japanese government would
always be guided by world conditions,
coupled with the economic condition Of
the country.
The leading newspapers in comment
ing editorially on the California situa-
tion say that the Japanese people must
not forget that the unfriendliness to-
ward Japanese in America exists only
among a minority. The editorials fur
ther assert that the cordial relations
established by the visit of the feet and
the commercial delegates from Califor-
mia cannot be affected by the action OF
those Americans who fail to understand
the japanese people.

CITY BASEBALL
LEAGUE PROMISED
Will be Organized at End OF
Basketball Season
Silver Cup win BE Presented Co the
Team Winning City Basketball ~
Championship.
SEASON WILL END APRIL

When the end of the basketball
season Of the city basketball league
is reached It is planned to have the
league developed into a city baseball
league for a promotion of sports in
the city during the summer. Since II
is felt certain that there will not be
any inter-city baseball league ii is
proposed TO feed the hungry fans
with good games between the city
teams, and have a standing, award
ing the victor a pennant which would
stimulate interest.
The basketball league will end
April 1. and in the meanwhile some
lively games are anticipated. The
managers. OF the league have decided
to give the winning team a silver cup.
The winning, team wiz be engraved
on II ana eaA te4f the silver trophy
will be- contssted~- for. with one
month Remaining for games no team
has a cinch on the top rung OF the
ladder and some of the best games
are yet to come. II is when the
teams are neck and neck and on the
home stretch that the enthusiasm is
at the highest and the attendance at
the city basketball games Ia expected
to pick up
Already preparations have been
begun for baseball. The Elks have
begun work on a team. while the
Chess, Checker and Whist club is just
as certain TO be represented on the
diamond. Also the knights OF Co
lumbus will follow the plan of last
year, and probably several other
teams will be in the field when the
umpire marches to the box and calls
"play ball"
1t is planned by the promoters of
the city league to enlarge the basket
ball teams into mines, as most Of the
basketball players are all around
athletes and are at home on the dia-
mond. The plan seems a good one,
and doubtless viii go through. The
only drawback to the games, which
would be played at about the rate OF
two or three a week. is that many of
the players are unable to get on
work in the afternoon regularly. but
it is hoped to arrange this difficulty
satisfactorily.

will lineup against the High school,

VANISHING sECTIONALIsM.

The name OF Jefferson Davis il to
be placed on the tablet on Cabin John
bridge again. No one cares much for
the bridge or for the run that is span

cent The bridge was built when Mr..
Davis was secretary OF war. His
name was placed on the tablet at
tached to II at the time of construc-
ton. During the Civil war, under
government orders, the name was
chisled off. After forty years 1t is
ordered restored, says the Chicago
Tribune.
A speaker at banquet on Wash
ington's birthday proclaimed a new

ems, breathing vengeance and passion
against the south, has given way to

ard Taft. breathing nothing but low
ing kindness" That rounded SEN
tence tells the truth. The attitude of
the north toward the south has
changed radically during recent years
Now, how about the attitude of the
south?
The March number of Uncle Remus'
Home Magazine contains an editorial
utterance by Julian Harris which dis
cusses the SCATTERING of the solid
south" The position is maintained
that the movement for this must come
from within. The south must be
broken up as a political unit Men
must vote their principles instead of
being swayed by passion.
A visible evidence of this change
is all that is needed to make the last
of sectionalism vanish. I'll
is particularly gratifying that thel
friendly feeling between north and
south should be so marked in the year
of special commemoration of Abra-
ham Lincoln. A southerner himself
and living in Illinois. then essentially
a southern state, he looked with sor-
row of soul upon the "wayvard sis
tiers" as they departed. His last pub
lie address told of a new announce
ment he was soon to make looking
toward restoration. Death came be-
fore the announcement was made, but
death marked the beginning of a.
movement for reconciliation which all
like to talk about now. What Lin
coins influence has been in favor of
breaking down sectional barriers no
one can ever estimate.
The greetings from the south are
appreciated and reciprocated. But,
as Mr.. Harris points out, the real
forward step must be made by the
south itself. If the coming Taft adj
ministration is marked by the break
ing of the "solid south" and the
elimination Of every sectional line
there will be hearty rejoicing every
where.
