The Pleasures of Obscurjty,

1t Is apparent from this anecdote,
printed In the New York Sun, that @
story. although 1900 years old, can
still be fresh and amusing. 1t Is a
personal nnecdote Of Chuang TZu. n
brilliant Chinese writer and phil0so-
pher Of the fourth century B &.
Chuaug rzu was fishing in the P'u
river when tile Prince Of Cl'u sent two
high officials to ask him to take charge
of the administration Of that province.
Chuang Tzu went OH fishing and,
without turning his head. said Il have
heard that in Ch'u there Is Il sacred
tortoise that has been dead some 1900
years and that the prince keeps this
tortoise carefully imrlOSed In II chest
on the altar uf his ancestral tplnple.
Now. would this tortoise rather be
dead and have its remains venerited
or Ice alive and wagsing its tail In the
mud
III would rather be alive" replied
the two officials. and wagging its tail
in the mud
"Irgonp" cried Chung rzu II, too,
will wng my tail in the mud"

cent dinner for Am mhassador Bryce.
The English papers have taken the
secretary to task and dubbed the
affair as "wishy Washington" We
think that Bryan is again right and
we suspect that If the real truth were
known the adverse comment could be
traced to the brewers and distillers,
who claim the personal right to drink
liquors but deny that same personal
right to another who does not iE-
dulge. II Bryan did rot see fit to
serve liquors it is his own affair. as be
was the host. and if the guests can't
skip meal without steaming up on

Chester II. Rowell Gays in the Los
Angeles Outlook: The alien land
bill is one thing aud the anti. Japan
ese land hill is another thing. Alien
land laws. applying to all nations
alike, are q part OF the common pol
icy of nations and of states. The Fed
eral government has three separate
statutes applying, one to the District
of Colum bia, one to the public lands,
aud one to the Territories. AT least
eight States have alien land laws. i've
of which are practically Identical
with the Federal statute and with the
more conservative of the bills intro
duced in the California Legislature.
One state, Washington. has law d.
reoily disoi iminatory against those
aliens who cannot acquire citizenship.
The main objection of the japanese
government is to the discriminatory
sort of bill 1t is not the right to
hold land iu California which they
much desire, but the dignity Of being
treated on a pBr with Bll nations.
This demand on the part of the jap
sHass, reinforced hy stiong representa-
tions frnm Washington, has in all
previous Legislatures prsrented tue
passage Of 3 lBE Discriminating
sgsiEsi tiihEr Japanese OF aliens not
eiigihls to ciiiEsnstlF, and hBs caused
the legislature to revert for time TO
the pIopossl Of laws Supplying to sll
slieIs alike, sftsI ihe analogy OF the
laws of Other states. Even these laws
would Discriminate in effect, but not
in form, against Japanese, inasmuch
as any alien OF European race can, by
removing bis alienage. thereby remove
his disability, while the alienage of
JhphubSb huu Nulutso 10 ny Goobtni
statute permanent. In every legisla-
ture, as soon as the pendulum tegins
to swing towards general alien land
bill. the interests representing British
capital invested In California bave
teen able to prevent the passage of
such bill also. The two sorts of
alien land laws have thus neutraIized
each other. and each one has made
the other impossib BILE. II may te
asserted unconditionally that the
menace of japanese lard ownership
in California is not present fact, but
is fear of the future. We have just
next door, iu Hawaii, an object lesson
of what general japanese settlement In
California would mean and probably
the people In California. with the
single exception of the large land
owners and the anti-union employers,
are unanimous that such condition
must be prevented in California at no
matter what oost. -
