CALIFORNIA "RILEs" JAPAN

The mission of Secretary Bryan to
California as direct representative of
President Wilson, in an attempt to
dissuade the California legislature
from passing the allen land bill''
which excludes the Japanese from the
ownership of land in that state, hav-
ing failed to accomplish anything of
consequence, the president has now
sought to have Gov. johnson veto the
bill, yesterday being the limit for
such action.
Secretary Bryan has been in
frequent consultation during the past
two or three weeks with the Japanese
minister at Washington and much
agitation over the measure has been
created. California. however refuses
to see the menace which the admins
tration processes to see in this legisla-
tion and has been standing her
hand and claims that the bill
which has passed keeps we'll within
the provisions of the treaty between
Japan and the United States. Con.
ditions arising from Japanese land
ownership on the coast give promise
of unceasing trouble in the future
unless it be stopped and the people
are determined to stop it if pos
sible.
The fear entertained in some Quar-
tiers that California s attitude may lead
ITO international complications that
will eventually bring on a war be.

lowed the flooding of the land with
Japanese Buddhist students; Australia
excludes them SO far as the govern

Columbia is deeply in sympathy with
California and talks of driving them
from the fishing grounds. Mexico
and Central and South America fears
them, China don't like them and
France don't want them in her pos
seasons. In fact they are dislked all
around the Pacific. If they are going
to get insulted and resentful over
everything that is said and done which
IS not exactly to their liking and try
to make other nations pass such laws
as they may want, they are blocking
out trouble for themselves.
The burdens of the Russian war still
bear heavily upon Japan and the
financial conditions of her people are
poor. The jingoes may talk loud and
threateningly but it is not probable
that the government will court a war
with a country like this over such
matters as the land legislation of the
coast, even through the average jap

After the war with Russia the
Japanese government set out to create
economic independence party through
a protective tariff and ship subsidies,
but more particularly by direct
government aid to manufacturing.
Companies with capital aggregating
hundreds Of millions were organized.
The government guaranteed the in
terest payment on many of these. For
the time being this created a fictitious
appearance of prosperity. Within
the last year, however, it is seen that
a nation, like an individual, can t
lift itself by its own bootstraps. The
growth of manufacturing towns has
led to the depletion of the agricultural
districts. The condition of the
Japanese farmer has become pathetic.
Eighty five per cent of the farms are
mortgaged. The income of the
Japanese people averages about 1913
per capita. Their taxes take 81. 40
out of this $23. They are not in very
good shape to invest in the costly
play things of war. 1t will take the
Japs a generation to carry off the
burdens of the Russian war. DUBUQUE

FIFTY YEARS EXPERIENCE.

Washington Post: Joseph @. Can
non, former speaker of the house of
representatives, has never performed a
greater public service than in writing
the article in a current magazine
which epitomizes the wisdom and ex
periences of half a century in public
life. 1t may be called an appeal
from the permanent to the changing,
from proved government to expert
mental government, or from con
sentative to the radical, but whatever
description is applied to it, the con-
cession must be made that it correctly
appraises the transitory reform move
ments of the past and the danger of
the revolutionary proposals of the
present.
The temperate tone of the state
ment, the frank acknowledgement of
merit where merit exists, and the
clear-headed analysis of the real
cause of the present. high cost of living
give the utterance all the force of an
important state paper.
Pointing out the weaknesses of the
earlier populistic movements, Mr..
Cannon says that in all of them the
people were restricted, more or less,
by tradition or sentiment, veneration
or patriotism, or something that
made them hesitate to lay hands on
the Ark of the Covenant. But. he
says mo tradition or veneration or
sentiment has stayed the hand of the
latest crusaders of reform; for they
would unhesitatingly rewrite the
constitution or do away with it en-
tirely as the fundamental law and
convert this government into d pure
democracy, to be swayed like an old
time camp meeting by the fervor of
the exhUrter rather than by the logic
of the ordained minister. -
The growth of the country under
protection is set forth convincingly by
Mr.. Cannon. In reply to the persons
who have said that the government
has been too liberal and has wasted

LOVERS CORNER
Conducted by
Uncle Donald
"All the world loves a lover"

Here are two letters that deal SO
nearly with the same subject that !
am going to answer them as one.
Dear Uncle Donald
IT am sixteen, and have been 60
ing with boys for about six months.
The reason why I never go with any
one Of them very long is because they
always begin wanting kisses by the
time we have been going together
three or four weeks, and nothing do
ing on that line, so one by one they
leave with one excuse or another, or
with none at all. The last one, who
went only yesterday, was frank about
It and said he didn't care to waste his
lime with an iceberg. I have always
thought that men and women, in love
and engaged, should kiss, but l don't
know; I've never been in love. But
it never seemed right for boys and
girls to promiscuously kiss and carry on.
But "everybody's dom it," all the
girls and boys know behave that way.
A boy goes with one girl awhile, and
they spoon and don't care who
knows it, and then they quarrel or
grow tired of each other, and he hunts
up another girl and she catches an
other boy, and they are just as loving
as the first couple. And all these
young folks seem to have good repu-
tations, and seem to be nice boys and
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1913-03-14

meet must either surrender to their
charms or MORALLY offend them; if
boy is courteous he must be in love
with them, if he smiles at them twice
in one day they begin to sentiment
alize about him.
Affection in a girl of that age is
natural, but the trouble is that most
girls proceed to dissipate their affe:-
tion-to fly from this boy to that boy,
and, as you say, spoon with them all,
until they are able to lavish their made
to-order affection upon every attrac-
tive youngster who comes along, and
have no real love for anyone. Stick
to your program, perplexed. Be care
full that you don't become an iceberg.
Select your boy friends carefully and
treat them courteously and kindly.
Be friendly, pleasant, sincere. But
make them keep their distance. And
remember this one thing, that every
time you yield your lips to boy you
lower yourself just so much in his es-
timation. It makes no difference how
strenuously they all may deny that, it
is fact. No matter how many desert
you because you make them treat you
as they should, every boy whose opin-
ion amounts to anything will respect
you for it, and certain it is that those
who do not are not worthy of you.
Don't mush and gush with any of
them, but save your caresses till the
right man comes along, the one you
will love, and who will love you and
want you for his wife. You will be
surprised to see how quickly then you
will change your mind about wanting
to kiss and be kissed, and it will be
time then, but not before.
Goosie, that brings me to your ques-
ton, and few lines more will answer
it, too. I hope you have read what
I have written above for "Perplexed,"
and I must, by the way, congratulate
you, too, upon your good sense. You
are apparently taking very safe and
sane course with the young man, es-
pecially for a girl who is in love.
Continue to be discreet, but not so
discreet that you succeed in max
ing him think that you don't care
for him at all. But I believe that you
are to be trusted upon those points.
No, don't begin any kissing stunts
yet. Make him wait-he will think
more of you. When you love him
enough to marry him and he loves
you enough to want you for his wife,
and when he has asked that all-impor-
tant question and been answered in
the affirmative, it will time enough
then to yield your lips to him.
Eyer Faithfully Yours,
Uncle Donald.

Generally, girls don't take the trou-

a boy. If they wish to kiss him. they
kiss him, and never bother their foolish
