Uphold the President

President Wilson's appeal to the
people Of California should meet with
All Affirmative and emphatic response.
The president takes the ground that
this country is under certain treaty
obligations TO Japan which IL cannot
forego without a sacrifice OF dignity
and self-respect. He is not taking the
part OF the Japanese jlngoes who de-
mand war with the United States be-
cause an integral part OF this union
proclaims its purpose to exclude
Orienta! people from the ownership
Of land in California. On the contrary.
the president. with a fine regard for
the well-established dogma OF the
right of the states to act in their own
domestic concerns as they see fit, asks
the people OF California TO keep with
in bounds. AS with all sane Ameri-
cans, Mr.. Wilson does not desire war
with Japan. Such contingency is not
feared here. The American people
with their vast resources in men and
money have no dread Of any foreign
power.
BIT this nation is bound by treaty
with Japan to accord to the subjects
OF that power substantially the same
rights as those accorded to the citi-
zens OF other countries. The point is
made occasionally that all Mongolians
are excluded from citizenship by the
Chinese exclusion act; but the treaty
with Japan was entered into after
this legislation had become effective,
and In any event would have taken
precedence OF II.
Consequently the president should
be upheld In his effort to maintain the
national honor. All considerations
should be brushed aside when this
great appeal TO the conscience Of the
American people is made. The presi-
cent personifles the union In it's deal
iLgs with foreign nations. and all
petty and parochial considerations
should bow before his conception or
national Brooklyn Times.

which turned down the commission.

court about year and half ago.
The court might decide this case
either OF TWO ways. " might decide
that rho commission has exercised its
broad general rate making power in a
proper maner and that the railroads
are bound by the decision. Or. II
might dodge the whole issue by decid-
ing that the commission has no such
broad power, hut must determine
whether a rate is reasonable or I'M

send the question back 10 the com

There seems to be every probability
that the court will continue to be dead

the state legislatures and commissions
will continue TO wait The result may
be the proposing OF constitutional
