Discipline for Youth.
From the Chicago lnter-Ooean.

We do not go so far as to say that the
United States should establish compul-
sorry military service for young men,
But we do say that it would be q ma
tonal blessing if something along the
line Of Gen. Woods suggestion could be
brought about. Liberty and license are
close together. and the idle. undisciplined.
ineffective young men of this country are
not only a waste of good material but a
menace This is an.age when the home is
breaking up and parental control is re-
Taxing and the young assert independence
early and effectively. Spare the rod and
spoil the child is not only out of date
but lack Of discipline Of all kinds Is one
of the signs Of the times. We hold no
brief for compulsory military service. but
anything that will increase the sense of
responsibility and the effectiveness of the
young American will be blessing to him
and to the nation.

Free Art-Why Not?

Barbaric America.

The United States is supposedly a civil
hzed country from ocean to ocean and
from the northern boundary to the Gulf
of Mexico and the Rio Grande. In every
part of that area II has schools and
courthouses, telegraphs and telephones,
newspapers, railroads, all the appurte-
nances of culture and civic development
But every one knows that crime prevails
in all parts. ard some of the aspects of
this crime are decidedly barbaric and of
distinctly frontier nature. Nor are
these criminal manifestations confined to
the wider stretches. the less populous
regions Here for instance, Wednesday,
came report of an express train held up
by masked robbers in the heart of the
state or Illinois, near the very capital OF
that commonwealth. The bandits set a
danger signal against the express and
brought il TO halt. They then intimi-
dated the passengers and the operatives
by firing pistols ia the air and while
with excellent organization they held off
interference they blew open the express
safe and secured 500 In loot. To cap the
climax of their impudence. they detached
the engine and ran 1t into Springfield and
thus made their escape without the least
difficulty. This Is the most daring hold
up reported in years, but II is not q sim

American crime is so full of instances of
this kind that IT seems idle to regard our

order and protection.

THE JAP PROBLEM
IN CALIFORNIA
is WORRYING PRESIDENT WILL
SON AND HIS CABINET-coN-
FERENCES HELD.

Washington, April 15.--Efforts to
prevent friction between the United
States and Japan over the proposed
California alien land holding bill were
continued Tuesday by President Will
son and Secretary Bryan in confer
ences with Viscount Chinda, the Jap
anese ambassador. The ambassador
called first at the White House to
talk with the president and then
proceeded to the state department to
confer with Secretary Bryan.
There was no announcement as to
the nature of the conferences, but
it was admitted that the California
problem was under discussion.
Without offending the people of
California by any official interfer-
ence with their legislative proceed
ings, President wilson and his Sec
retary of state have unofficially con
veyed to certain influential persons
in California, the hope that the pro-
jected legislation would not be per
mitted to take a form that would
justify the japanese government in
asserting that it constituted a breach
of the treaty obligations of the Uni
ted States. The purpose of Tuesdays
conference, it is understood. was to
t,;. L. - .
amended still is Objectionable to ia
pan and if so, in what respect. The
that further changes must be made
in the bill before it can be said to
be acceptable to Japan and that these
changes must take the form
of amendments to place all
aliens, on even terms. The
place all aliens OR even terms. The
Japanese government contends that
the bill in its present state does not
do this, in spite of the assertions of
the promoters of the measure in the
California senate that the combina
tion contained in the first bill has
been removed.
1t was pointed out Tuesday that as
it stands the bill would permit the
subject of a European state to acquire
in California by the simple process
of declaring his purpose to become
a citizen of the United States, while
the Japanese cannot acquire citizen
ship. 1t is admitted that it will be
difficult to amend the measure to
meet this objection without develop
ing strenuous opposition from the
large European colonies in California.
The negotiations are being carried
on very cautiously and it is assumed
that the Japanese ambassador is com
municating with his government at
every step in the exchanges.
