JAPAN'S PROTEST.

What was expected has happened.
Japan, through her ambassador at
Washington has made formal protest
against the action of the California
legislature
Why should the ownership of a few
farms in California cause grave con-
Germ to the governments at Tokyo and
Washington, and awaken rumors of
war in the press of two friendly ma
tons? While mass meetings in Japan
shout for war with the United States
the venerable Count Okuma declares
that "only the influence of Christianity"
remains to prevent such an outcome,
and President Wilson resorts to the
unprecedented course of sending his
secretary of state to Sacramento TO
counsel and cooperate with the
members of the California legislature,
many are wondering why there is so
much international excitement over
matter affecting directly only few
farmers California explains that
white supremacy and the American
standard of living are at stake" and
the japanese reply that ~the issue Is
one of discrimination, and reflects
upon our national honor, and its i'm
portance is, therefore, not to be meas
ured by the number of our country
men materially affected"
On the part of the California farmers
there is much jealousy of their yellow
neiehbors on account of their greater
success in raising and marketing crops.
But behind it all perhaps is poiltlcs
and a desire on the part of Governor
Johnson to make trouble for the ma
tiona1 administration.
A perusual of the coast newspapers
indicates that they are taking less IN
terest in the matter than are eastern
journals. There is nothing to snow
that the action of the legislature mas
the backing of the public generally.
The problem might be easily soiVeo
nv extending the naturalization laws
to the Japanese and it would serve
tho Californians right to do So
OF course, there is no questlon VI
war The Japanese may be arrogant
and feel. unduly, their Importance Ou'
thew are not fools. They know better
than to start anything with the Unlteo
states. but the situation can become
extremely unpleasant and unprofltaole
without resorting to a fight

THE SEWN, CIRCLE.

The sewin' circle in our town meets every
Tuesday afternoon,
To sew for heather far away in Zanzibar
and old Rangoon-
That is to say. they meet to sew, but
everybody knows quite well
That tongues as well needles fly and
many are the tales they tell.
Ihey get all of the spicy news the weekly
paper dassent print,
And 1nformation'S passed around without
the slightest sort of stint.
When old Lem Hicks gets full of gin and
starts in for to do his worst,
1t is the safest sort of bet the SEWN cir
Gle knows 1t first.
When the sopranner in the choir walks
home from meeting with the bass,
The SEWN circle spreads the news Of
their engagement round the place.
When married folks enjoy a spat, harm
less one. in all due course
The SEWN circle takes it up, enlarges it
and brings divorce.
When any married Teller tips his hat unto
a maiden fair,
The SEWN circle hears of it and thrashes
round and tears its hair.
A Teller is low down brute to go and
treat his wife like that.
They say he is heartless flirt- The
maiden is a little cat
When any purity wilder goes and buys
herself a new silk dress,
The SEWN circle hears of it within day
When any Teller feels some flush and goes
and buys an oatmobile
They say: Where did he get the price?
No man could do it and not steal.
1t is so mighty ALFRED good that good
ness seems to lose its charm.
Its business is to ruin regulations with
a ruthless hand,
While sewin' for the heather in far TIM
bucktoo and Zulu land.
Compared with SEWN circles that we
know of, we are bound to state,
The heather stand the better chance OF
getting through the pearly gate.

EXPLORATION IN EGYPT.

For several years the Metropolitan
Museum of Art has had an expedition in
the Egyptian field, and an entire wing of
the institution is now devoted to an

Egypt and the concessions in the vicinity
or Lisht, the land of Amenhotep III, or
the eighteenth dynasty When the Adriatic
of the White Star line sailed early in the
week ii was generally known that J. Pier

that Mr.. Morgan was going to Europe,
and also limited that his destination mig hit
be Egypt. Mr. Morgan is going to Egypt,
1t is learned from authoritative sources
and the object of his trip abroad is to
visit the field of exploration, particularly
in the region of the famous Temple OF
eir-el-Bahri.
Curator Albert NJ. Lythgoe. of the
politan Museum. who has spent several
years in exploring the ruins of ancient
EGYPT, Is also a passenger on board the
year ago to visit the land of Amenho-
tep III, to note the progress of the WORK
Oh the Egyptian expedition.
Mr.. Lythgoe is going to Egypt now to
look over the work of the museums ex-
petition to spend several months in clear

In the field by about go trained native

1t is proposed by the leaders of the ex-

which is considered the Important point
Tor excavating this winter. The work OF
the expedition has been in progress there
for months, and has resulted in many i'm
portant finds for the collection OF
Egyptian antiquities at the museum.
A part of this season the expedition
Will work near the north portion of the
Metropolis, and in the territory once in
habited by Set /. Many of the cemeteries
in this part of Egypt existed during the
eighteenth and twenty-first dynasties.
Some are on a plain of the desert, which
has yielded up numerous specimens of
blocks, with carved reliefs.
From a historical point of view the
work of the expedition around Thebes
has proved most interesting. One of the
trophies discovered at the palace OF
Amenhotep III was a portion of the
ceiling of the rulers apartments, a souy-
enir of the eighteenth dynasty, which has
been partially restored
The palace of Amenhotep III has been
the base of incompleted excavatio for
several years, and has been visited by a
number of explorers in this field.
After spending about three months in
the Theban region, the museums expedi-
ton will go to the pyramid fields south
of Cairo, where the work of excavatins
and unearthing ancient treasures will be
continued well into the hot weather In
May.
At the pyramid fields of Lisht many
remarkable finds have been reported by

A BIG HANDICAP.

.e1,verv autumn in New York the
,,oney under the present banking
system. is carried in never-end1ng no"
70 the speculative markets of the coun-
try choked I'D and held away from
the farmers.
This statement was made by Sena-
for Fletcher of Florida, member OF
the farmers commission appointed To
investigate farmers credits in foreign
lands, on the eve of sailing for Europe
on that mission.
The senator and his fellow commits
sioners will find in Europe a different
financial condition for the farmers from
that which exists in this country. They
will find French farmers paying only
AZ per cent for long loans. They will
find German farmers obtaining Raj
fesien loans at per cent and less,
when war is not threatened. They will
find Danish farmers prosperous and
progressive, with easy money, coop
Grafton and scientific aid. Even among
the ignorant tillers of the soil in Egypt
they will find borrowers of money at
low rates impossible to the most re-
sponsible American farmer.
There is more than one reason for
this discouraging contrast. But the
principal one is the fact that in no
other great country than the United
States is the stock exchange virtually
beyond public control. In the Ameri-
can field of finance the Spectator and
gambler are given the preference over
the farmer
