Constitutionality of the

Washington, May 1.-The California

it now seems certain is to be passed by
the California Legislature, is still DIS
criminatory in the opinion OF President
Wilson and his advisers. 1t is also be-

to be violation of the existing treaty
with Japan.
II is understood that Immediately the
bill is enacted the japanese government

state department. Up to the present
time, the protests have been purely IN
formal. The president, it is expected,
will suggest in reply that the quickest
wav to secure results will be to bring
an action in the federal courts testing
the constitutionality of the act.

Japan would be very glad to take this
action. There has been no dlssatlsfae-

course. In all of the dealings between
the Japanese ambassador and the state
department and President Wilson, the
feeling has been very cordial, the Jap

regret that his action was necessary.
Because of this, the administration be-

STRUGGLING FOR AN EDUCATION
by PROFESSOR JAMES ROOD ROBERTSON
Of Berea College

The lives Of men who have strug-
gled for an education are constant
reminders Of what may be done by
a boy of determination.
Who has not heard of the story
of Benjamin Franklin? He was one
of a family of seventeen children
and close to the end of the line That
means little chance for regular
schooling. His father had tried to
give him a chance for he was a
tenth son and was intended as a
1.-THE to the Lord. II could not be
done and this boy had to take to "A
trade. Candlemaking. the trade of
his father, was not to his liking. He
mingled among Joiners, bricklaycrs,
turner's, and braziers, but the love of
books and reading led finally to the
trade OF printer. Here he could
read and write. He fought his way
up, became known for his writing
and was rewarded with success.
No man in the earlier period of
American history was more useful
to his country and more widely
known than Franklin. He knew the
value Of knowledge and training.
And what shall we say of Lincoln?
Does not his life fire the blood of
every mountain boy? Born in a
pioneer cabin in Kentucky his
schooling was by "littles" and could
all be included in n single year. But
he had learned the practical use of
knowledge and set himself to get it.
Every moment that could be spared
from grubbing. blowing, and weed
ing was spent in reading. All the
books within walking distance were
borrowed and read. When he came
in from work he went TO the cup
board, snatched piece of corn
bread, got book and sat down be-
fore the fireplace to read. Here he
sat with knees cooked up as high
as his head and read by the light
of the pine knot. His father was
not very we'll pleased with his boy
but his mother encouraged him to
keep on. In the same way he read
law and prepared for practice. How
he went up from one position to an
other until he became president is
a story too we'll known to repeat
Horace Greeley was another boy
who had TO struggle for an educa-
tion. Born on a New England farm,
his early education was scant. He
got work with newspaper in YER
mont, became a travelling printer,
and picked up an education as he
went along.
In time success rewarded his
for he became editor of
the New York Tribune and thru its
columns nodded public opinion in
