REPRESENTATIVE SissoN'S
WAR SPEECH"
President Wilson Urges Mississippian
Not To Offend Japanese
Sensibilities

Washington, May al President
Wilson today sent for Representative
Sisson of Mississippi and urged him
not to make any speech tnat would
offend the sensibilities of Japan.
Mr.. Sisson who recently made
ar speech" had given notice of his
intention to speak in the house Fri
day on the legal phases OF the Jap
anese alien land question. He had
a twenty minute conference with the
president during which, however, he
assured Mr.. Wilson that he would
not discuss the pending negotiations
or touch on anything of an incendiary
character, limiting himself 10 an ar
gument on alien land ownership.
That was the White House version
OF the conference. Mr.. Sisson himself
declined to make any comment, de-
claring merely that he would speak
Friday.
The president is known to be an
xious about discussion In Congress at
this stage of the Japanese question,
especially involving any observations
on racial discrimination.
1t is indicated at the White House
that the American note just sent and
the tenor OF future exchanges Will
be to assure the Japanese that the
majority OF Americans have a genu-
inc respect and admiration for the
achievements and the character OF
her people. Public expressions that
might give an opposite Impression
are regarded at the White House
particularly at this time as serious
Iy embarrassing the negotiations be
tween the state department and the
Japanese ambassador.

JAPAN NOW
HAS REPLY
Japanese Foreign Office Studying II
But Officials Make No
Comment

Toxic, May 21.-The Japanese for.
eign office has received and is study.
ing the reply Of the United States
government to its original protest in
regard to the California alien land
ownership legislation. It declares
that by agreement with Washington
the document will not be made pub
lie. The officials make no comment
on the subject and no statement as to
whether 1t is satisfactory or not.
The Japanese public apparently is
waiting for information before ex-
pressing its opinion on the American
reply. In the meantime the press re-
iterates that the question goes deep
er than the ownership Of land or the
making Of treaties and that 1t is rad.
icsl discrimination which must be
wiped out by mutual education and
understanding and the fusion OF
ideas.
Lichiro Tokutomi, editor Of the 10
kumin Shimbun, writes in an article
today:
THE patriotism and loyalty Of ia
panese should Join forces with the
liberality Of America. BY this means
the Pacific would nobly justify its
name"
On the other hand, much interest
is attached to the formation Of q
new patriotic association by Count
Shiganori Uesugi and other scholars
"for the maintenance Of Japanese in
dividuality." The founders declare
that some OF the Japanese are intoxi-
Gated with western civilization to
such an extent that they are likely
to forget their nationality and intro
duce dangerous thoughts into the
minds Of the people and interpret
patriotism in a different form from
that prevailing among their ances-
tors.
In some quarters It is alleged that
the new organization is political
one masquerading under the guise OF
patriotism and that it has oeen' Gre
ated to fight the battle Of the bureau
cracy against the encroachments Of
the growing democracy.
Prof. Masaharu Anesah Of the
college of literature in the Imperial
university at Toxic, was designated
today as the first Harvard lecturer
on Japanese life and literature.

USE THE NEWSPAPER.
Good Advice to Farmers From
One of Their Number.

Now the first thing l would
advise the farmer to do is to
have the editor print for him
some envelopes to use in his cor
respondence, and probably some
letter-heads. 1t will cost but a
trifle more than to buy the pa
per and envelopes at the store
and maybe not so much. When
man gets a letter printed
neatly on the paper, he con-
cludes that you are at least of
enough Importance to put your
name before the world so it can
be seen.
Then get familiar with the
editor as a factor in selling your
stuff. If you give him Is cents
to run you a three line reader
in his paper, saying:
"Turnip Greens, Onions, Rad
ishes-Henry Jones will be in
town on Monday with turnip
greens, onions and radishes," "
you will have the people in the
residence streets informed of
your coming, and ready to buy
more quickly than if you argue
the question after you arrive.
If you ask them in the paper to
telephone an order to your
house before you start to town,
you may sell out all the stuff
you propose to take before you
have it on your wagon.
Tell the people through the
paper that your Klondike straw
berries will be ripe by Wednes-
day, and sell for Is cents a
quart. Tell them you have kill
ed beef and will deliver some
desirable pieces of meat on a
certain date, at wholesale
prices, always naming the price.
Your paper will help you to
sell the cow that you do not find
a purchaser for among your
immediate neighbors. 1t will
locate a man who would take a
dozen of your eggs for setting
at a reasonable price, but who
does not know you have them
unless you tell him in the pa
per. The paper is merely a man
with a bigger audience than you
can get yourself, and it tells the
story to all of them. 1t tells
what you want to tell, and it
tells it for very little COST

How Women Are Won.

y ut amt looks that wins a
gal. It's what a guy can do,
what he can make good at, that
gets 'em."
This is holnely pugilist's ex-
planation of his winning a pret-
ty wife.
1t is the kicking aside of all
surface sentiment and stepping
directly back to first principles.
The biggest giant with the
biggest club among the ancient
cave men got his pick of the
cave girls.
The young Indian who could
shoot straightest, run swiftest

never wanted for admiration
among the Indian maidens.
And time and civilization and
the thin convention of romance
with which we veneer our real
lives today have not worked any
great changes in the vital mo-
tives of either man or woman.
So, even today, the novel
hero who is merely "as hand
some as a Greek god" is not in
it, as against the "picturesquely
rough and rugged" whose
LONELINESS is accepted as indi-
cation of strength, courage and
inner worth fit for mastery in a
world of struggle.

through things are the ones
that reach the mind and the
soul of the woman worth while.
