Young Bride Blames Parent
Who Made Her Work

By MARY AsHE MILLER

Our ancestors become a matter OF
conjecture and surmise and are lost
In the mists Of antiquity before We
trace our lineage back many scores
or hundreds Of years. even for those
who are proudest OF their family trees.
II would be interesting to know just
how many OF us are descended from
slave fsmtlies-nice white or cream
coIored slaves. of course. such as were
quite the usual thing in former ages.
but nevertheless in bondage.
10 IL safe 10 assume that these bond
men and bondwomen had little bond
children who. in the course of genera
tions, through wars and upheavsls OF
one kind or another. were made free
eventually and became ancestors OF
some OF our best families"
IL is possible that the recognition
of superior power under which even
the sauciest Of slaves must have bowed
has filtered down through all the years
to their descendants.
one sees IL manifested in all degrees
from crinsing fear and fattery OF those
who rule anything from country 20

unconSciousty deeper bow or broader

from which man receives his living

its, with the same feelings when he is
in authority as when he IL an aSSoci-
ate? There are some who do, OF course.
but one wishes there were more And
l am not an anarchist or anything OF
that sort. either.
This is brought forcibly to ones
mind by the telegraphed report OF the
marriage in Reno a day or two ago
OF young Los Angeles girl and a
Japanese. The parents OF the girl re-
belied bitterly at their daughters cast
ing her lot with that OF an alien race.
That is in accordance with the ideas
OF most Americans, but they seem TO
have been a trife late in arriving ar
their anti-Japanese sentiment Their
daughter said: My parents should not
object TO my marriage. for they let me
work for japanese"
She was employed as saisSwoman IN
a japanese shop and her yellow hus-
band was the head of department OF
course her reasoning is not altogether
logical. but there is a germ OF truth
IN il.
For the money. her people permitted
her to recognize the authority or the
Japanese and cOrpuScle OF Tar on
slave blood. il that be really the solu-
ton aroused an attitude OF mind that
placed the alien employers in a diHsr-
ent light

tireiy for the match as marriages be-
