Says laps Will Resent
Action of California

CHICAGO, April l3.-"While Japan
naturally will resent the passage Of the
California alien land law as an unfor-
tunate evidence Of racial prejudice. there
will be no attempt at reprisal on the
part OF the Japanese government" said
Yutaka Minakuchi. Independent relig-
ious worker and lecturer. who is here
to speak at the Sunday Evening Club
tonight.
Tine suggestion Of war as a possible
outcome Of the passage Of such purely
local legislation is nonsensical.
Japan cannot afford to go to war
with any nation. One-tenth OF the total
wealth Of Japan is now owing to other
nations, chiefly to the United States
The other reason Is that America Is
Japan's best customer"

Grover Cleveland.

What are the qualities of great
man? One answer appears in former
Presidents Taft's estimate of former
President Cleveland on Cleveland day
at Princeton. Mr.. Taft first told
what Grover Cleveland was not, then
pronounced him great, and told why
he was great, saying: ''Mr. Cleve-
land was not great lawyer; he was
not great economist: he was
not great orator, but he was great
president and great man; and he
was these because. with strong mind
clear intelligence and wide knowledge
OF affairs, he had the character,
honesty, courage and sense Of public
duty which enabled him to meet great
and critical issues, without regard to
personal consequ ences"
Falling short of greatness as lawyer
economist and orator, Grover Cleye-
land was nevertheless ''a great presi-
dent and great man" because he
was fearlessly honest in all his public
relations In American public affairs,
such honesty makes great men of
men in other respects ordinary.
Without that honesty, men are not
counted great although they may be
top-notchers in all other respects. 1t
is point for ambitious youth to
paste in its hat, inscribe across its
mirror and etch upon its heart. Buff
