Ask the young dude who starts off
to college what profession he is going
to take up, and he says: "Oh, I'm go
ing to be a LAWYER, of course" He
says 1t in a tone that indicates that
there is no other profession worth
considering. And lots of the young
fools actually believe that being a
LAWYER is the only respectable call
ing in the world.
Take the average family of town

"The treaty OF and navi-

Japan. signed in 1894, you'd by II
strict Interpretation OF It's provisions
have terminated on July II. 1912.
Japan's general treaties with the other
powers, however. terminated In 1911.
and the Japanese Government expressed
an earnest desire to conduct the nego-
tiations for a new treaty with the
United States simultaneously with Its
negotiations with the other powers.
There were a number OF important
| questions involved In the treaty, includ-
ing the immigration OF laborers, revi-
sion OF the customs tariff and the right
of Americans to hold real estate In Ja-
pan. The United states consented to
waive al. technicalities and to enter at
once upon negotiations for a new treaty
on the understanding that there should
be a continuance throughout the life
OF the treaty OF the same effective
measures for the restriction OF immi-
grafton OF laborers to American terri
tory which a been In operation with
entire satisfaction to both Governments
since 1905.
THE japanese Government accepted
this basis OF negotiation, and a new
treaty was quickly concluded, resulting
In a highly satisfactory settlement OF
the other questions referred "a.
"A satisfactory adjustment has also
been effected OF the questions growing
out of the annexation OF Corea by ia
