PRESIDENT WANTS
TREATY WITH JAPAN
TAFT DRAFTS A CONVENTION
MODIFYING BAN UPON
IMMIGRANTS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The text
of a new treaty with Japan. design
ed to replace that of 1894 and drawn
with the special design of eliminating
the restrictions upon immigration
contained In that treaty, was laid
before the senate today by President
Taft.
The essential difference between
the proposed treaty and the existing
convention Is said to be in the fact
that it omits all reference to such
restrictions and leaves to the nation
al honor Of Japan the enforcement at
her own ports the limitations upon
emigration from Japan now expressly
placed upon immigration into the
United States.
The document Is said to provide
that either county may renounce the
treaty at the end of six months II
it falls to operate as expected.
Because 1t embodies this radical
departure from the existing treaty,
and touches the question of the great
est importance and to the Pacific
slope, the injection Of this conven-
ton into the closing hours Of the Six
ty-frst Congress created q sensation
today.

BALLOTS OF WOMEN AGAIN
WORK REFORM IN ciTy's
ADMINISTRATION.

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 23.-For the
second time in month, the votes Of
women have worked a revolution in
Senattle. In yesterdays primary
election to choose eighteen candidates
for councilmen to be voted for on
March 7, the women voters followed
their vote of Feb. Z, which ousted
Mayor Hiram G. Gill and his appoint
i've officers by defeating all but three
who were accused Of being
on intimate terms with the late Gill
administration. These three were
nominated by so narrow a margin
that 1t is almost certain that they will
not be among the nine selected as
in March. Most OF the
nominees are wealthy men and some
have devoted much time to the study
of civic government.

NEIGHBORS.

All the grasping and the greed
Of this world come from not re-
garding our fellows as our neigh
bors. One doesn't trample his
neighDers. He works with them
to common end. We must
come to look ON all the world as
our neighbors. We must do
away with the idea of classes.
There isn't any justification for
class lines In America. They are
unjust, unwholesome, UPRIGHT
eous and un-American. Why
should we have class lines here
In this country and one man de-
spise another just because he
has been lucky enough to make
little more money? A man has
some right to be proud of what
he makes with his own hands
, and his own brains, but he
hasn't any business putting on
airs over what he is merely try
ing to spend.-Jacob A. Riis.
