Japanese question in the United

He maintains that the Japanese are

that they should be given the natural

He says:
The Japanese feel that they are
the equal. of any race. / believe that
America should have carefully defined
conditions of naturalization with regard
to all nationalities. and that she should
modify her laws.
Il also think that it is wise plan
for the United States to bar from the
country the farmers of Japan. for the
reason that, in their adult age. it IS
almost impossible for them to acquire
a knowledge of the English language,
but the graduates of the middle schools
and the students who have spent five
years in higher education should be
allowed free entrance. :

NEWARK
Men "Get In Bad" While In
Mt. Vernon
(Newark american Trlbunel

Newark American Tribune)
The story has leaked out that three
Newark men who entered the show
business, so 1t is alleged, came to grief
on their first stand" at Mt. Vernon.
The young men referred to started on
the road to exhibit the "Only Living
Wild Hog in Captivity"
Just how far they went with their
enterprise is not known. Perhaps
they never had wild hog, and were
exhibiting the interior of an empty
tent and the patrons wouldn't stand
for the "blue sky" methods; perhaps
the reason for their arrest was some.
thing else, but there was a reason be-
cause they were arrested in Mt Yer
non, Wednesday night. In police court
the next morning they were given a
severe reprimand and let go.
The best feature of the enterprise
however, is that before they left
Newark they borrowed $5 from local
barber and intended using the money
as partial contribution to float the
enterprise. The barber is wondering
how he is going to get back his hard
earned coin.
