San Francisco, Cal, May 2S.-"Jus-

States can only be attained by grant

That is the burden of the message
brought to the United States from ia
pan by two of the leading men of that
nation-Soroku Ebara and A. Hattori
who arrived here last week for a
four months tour of the United States.
Ebara is head of the Japanese con-
stitutional party and president of the
Japanese Peace society. Hattori is
head of the nationalist party and a
former student in one of Woodrow
Wilson's classes at Princeton univer-
sity.
IF the Japanese are permitted to
become citizens of the United States
they will be as loyal as your native
born" said Hattori. $50 loyal would
they be that in case of a conflict be.

your newly acquired citizens from the
far east would be the first to fight for
the country of their adoption"
In spite of the fact that Japanese
as American citizens would be the
first to fight Japan, both Hattori and
Ebara are exceedingly anxious thai
citizenship be granted their fellow
countrymen who come here.
We believe that the United States
should accord naturalization rights tC
any Japanese who wishes to become &
citizen OF this country" said Ebara.

Over Dismissals.

Davenport Democrat: Representa-.
tiyes of the Merchants Protective as
ISOLATION, who investigate business
houses Of all kinds, came to Daven-
port recently and were engaged by
number OF firms, including two of
Inc department stores mentioned In
last Fridays Democrat.
They disco cred in these houses
that there were a nominal number of
employees, who. in selling goods, were
putting into their pockets a part of
tho money for their sales. instead Of
sending it to the cash Office. None
were found TO be giving overmeasure
10 their customers, as enormously re-
ported.
II has since been learned that the
number reported to have been found
dishonest was considerably exagger-
ated. The proprietors Of these stores
state they believe the employees of
davenport mercantile institutions are
as honest on the average as are to
be found in any part of the country.
II is quite natural that out Of sew.
erai hundred employees there should
be some too weak to Withstand temp
tetion in handling other peoples
money. II is for the benefit Of not
OILY the employers. but likewise the
employees, to have the weak ones found
out and removed from the midst of
the honest ones.
This investigation was conducted
very quietly by the Merchants Pro.
tective association. 1t was their in
tention not to have any publicity Civ.
