Toxic, May 1s.-Faith in the American

Japanese, Is the dominating note in the
discussion of the California alien land
ownership legislation.
War talk is denounced as ridiculous, and
only calculated to embarrass the two
governments which are laboring for a
peaceful settlement by diplomacy.
1t is conceded however that failure on
the part of American people to respond
to the Japanese appeal for a discontinue
ance of the alleged Discrimination would
be liable to lead to some estrangement of
the people. The Japanese public generally
is convinced that the land bill is racial
and not an economic measure, and hence
a blow to national pride, and the people
feel that the world must be taught the
necessity of equal treatment for the
whites and non-whites.

VIGOROUS SPEECHO ON
UNIVERSAL PEACE: BY
SECRETARY BRYAN
"War Is in Interest of Few

Secretary = Strong
Forces at Work

Washington. May 1S.-Vigorous de-
nunciation of subsidized patriotism
which seeks to create war because of
the profits in armor plate and battle
ships and of the sensational aud
mercenary newspa pers which prefer
big. scare headlines to the truth,
marked an address by Secretary Bryan
here today at Hague anniversary
meeting, held under the auspices of the
Washington Peace society. 1t was in
celebra ton of the fourteenth anniver-
sary of the first meeting at The Hague.
"War is in the interest of a few
people, not of all Mr.. Bryan declared.
THE profits are garnered by a few,
while the masses. pay the taxes. A few
men gain glory. while The mothers OF
the nations furnish the food for the
battlehelds. War rests upon feeling,
not upon necessity. Back of much of
the furore for war is a selfish interest
in the manufacturer of battleships. And
there are men so unpatriotic that they
try to stir up trouble in another coun-
try against their own so as to make
personal profit therefrom. Is there any
baser use for money?"
Understand Causes
The Secretary asserted that the
world was drawing away from the
time when wars will he made to graf

Secretary Bryan expressed the belief
that in time this country would have
treaties with all other nations providine
for efforts to arbitrate all questions of
dispute, and that other nations would
follow this country's example. These
agreements, he said, would make it
almost impossible to bring this coun-

Personal Profit
Increasing intelligence. the growing
disposition to bring governments near

of the world Were the three great fac

Praise for Wilson

The Toxic newspapers are loud in their
praise of President Wilson's zeal in his
endeavors to preserve the traditional
friendship and they recognize the diff
culties which confront the President of
the United States in the confusing conflict
between state and federal rights.
The Nichi Nichi is of the opinion that
the question as to whether the Washing
| ton government can procure for the Jap
anese equal rights depends upon the
strength of Japanese diplomacy. and urges
| the government to take a firm attitude.
| a joint celebration of the Japanese and
| American peace societies today was at
tended by 1000 Japanese. Speeches were
made by Count Okuna former minister
OF foreign affairs; Baron Yoshiro SAX
atani, mayor of Toxic. and Tsunejiro
Mryioka. who was councillor of the Jap
anese embassy at Washington in 1906. All
speakers endeavored to clarity the situa-
ton and decried jingoism.

Loudly Applauded

Count Okuma was loudly appla uded
when he compared the attitude of the
California legislators with the anti-for-
eign movement in Japan half century
ago, which he looked upon as an abased
race prejudice.
I'VE despised the foreigners" he said,
because they looked different we did
not consider them human beings. Japan
finally saw the falsity of its position and
became an admirer of everything west
ern. The same causes underlle the CAM
fcrnia question, but like the Japanese the
Calfornians will see the folly of their po,
sition and truth and justice will triumph

Another Buick Record

Notwithstanding the $4,000 fire
which destroyed the brass and
aluminium foundry OF the Buick
Motor Company, at Flint, Michi-
gan, they are still making deliver
les by the train load.
Right on top of the eleven trains
sent out in 1912, they are starting
out on 1913 business with two
train loads in the first three weeks
OF January. The first was one Of
fifty car loads which went to the
NebraskaBuick Company at Lin
coin, Neb. This is said to be the
first train load shipment OF motor
cars ever made into that territory.
The second is one OF eighty car
loads which will be sent out the
coming week to the Pence Auto
mobile Company, at Minneapolis.
The train will carry $50 Bucks,
and is the second to go to the
Pence people within a period OF
only five weeks.
a big concern like the Buick
has no end of trouble in getting
enough freight cars. Sometimes
they can't, and if they can't they
make delivery cross country, no
matter what the weather and no
matter what the roads. Deliveries
thus far this season have been
made to points as TAR away as
Pittsburg, Cleveland and Indian
apolls, not to mention Detroit,
Battle Creek and other places near
at home where that kind of deliv-
cry is SO common as to excite no
comment.
But the real trouble in sending
out train load shipment comes in
loading and getting away without
seriously congesting conditions in
the yards. 1t is job which calls
for ingenuity and resourcefulness.
Buick leaders have been made ex-
pert by much practice until now it
takes only minute and a half to
get a machine in the box car,
cleated, covered and ready for
shipment.
The company has just issued an
especially attractive pocket folder
in which they give some very inter
esting acts and figures OF the ST.

THE SCHOOLBOY and HIS TRADE.

trsde2 The thousand delegates who be-
long 70 the National Society for the Pro-
motion OF Industrial Education think il
should. They have been in session at
Grand Rapids, Mich to discuss this
point DR.. Leonardo. Ayres in his speech
summed up the matter briefly. He said
that Americans have nine thousand ways
Of earning living. Only twenty-one Of
these may be called steady trade. He
also said that half the children who leave
the schools do not pass beyond the sixth
grade.
The plea therefore is for more school,
ing for schools that will put finish on
what has been gained in the elemen-
tary classes, and above all, for training
that shall fit graduates for the trade or
calling they wish TO follow. Be it car
Penter, blacksmith machinist. chemist or
salesman-the thing wanted is a school
such as shall make him master of his
work. Such schools have been tried in
Germany with much success Training
schools are needed because of the changed
times in which we live Education to-
day is for the masses, not the few. Science
to-day is applied to all sorts of trades and |
manufactures. Schooling is in conse-
quence no longer question of books.
It is a question of tools and skill. Six
pupils ont of every ten must take up
some business or trade, and the training
in school days or in continuation"
school must keep this end in view.
The vacation school is not intended to
elbow the regular school out of the way.
It simply means a return to the common
sense notion that education is just the
art of fitting a man for the special thing
he has TO do
