FEDERAL TREATIES AND THE
STATES

tNew York Journal of Commerce)
1t seems to be one of the functions
of the Legislature of the State of Cal
ifornia to make it impossible for the
Government of the United States to
pursue any honorable or consistent
policy in its relations with the people
of the Far East. Beginning with the
anti-Chinese agitations of forty-four
years ago, there has been no Federal
Administration which has not been
hampered in the fulfllment of our
treaty engagements with the nations of
Eastern Asia by the open contempt for
| them displayed by the labor union
ldemagogues of California, against
whom the better element of the State
seems to contend in vain. With this
chapter of our history President Will
son must be entirely familiar, al
though the reported comments on the
latest phase of the situation suggested
that he has not given it the serious at
tention which it deserves. 1t is not
greatly to the purpose to be informed
that the President does not believe the
Japanese Government would hold the
United States responsible for the leg
islation of any one State enacted de-
spite treaty arrangements between this
country and Japan
The point is. Does the United States
Government recognize the necessity OF
demonstrating alike to recalcitrant
State legislation to the contrary not
outstanding? The confirmation of Il
treaty requires the votes of two-thirds
of the United States Senate, and its
provisions when thus approved may be
assumed to contain nothing of serious
detriment to the interest of any State.
AS Justice Swayne said in delivering
the opinion of the Supreme Court,
which held that our treaty with Swift
erland was superior to the laws of
Virginia:
1t must always be borne in mind
that the Constitution, laws and treaties
of the United States are as much a part
of the law of every State as its own
local laws and constitution. This is a
fundamental principle in our system Of
complex national policy.

FINE PANAMA FOR THE PRESI,
DENT
New Orleans Picayune)

| NANCN VI iCdlS iCdg uHS.j
President Wilson is to have one of
the finest Panama hats that the max
ers can fashion or money buy The
order was received a few days ago by
a local dealer, and he has forwarded
the specifications to Ecuador, where it
( will be manufactured. The President
wears a No Z hat, at least the Panama
will be that size. 1t will be composed
of weave Of straw of the finest tex
ture obtainable, and it's fabrication IS
estimated to take three months con
/ tinuous work, which is about half the
length of time ordinarily required in
the making of a high-grade Panama
: The order for the dispatch was given
with a view of having the hat in the
! Presidents hands in time for him TO
use it during his contemplated visit to
the isthmus next summer, and to ex-
pediate its manufacture a double force
will be put on. The value of the hat

short of $3.50.
None of the genuine Panama hats are
made in this country, and how the
word Panama" became attached %
! them has never been clearly explained.
The best explanation given is that the
! greater part of the shipments from
| Ecuador, the home of the true Panama
have been made via Panama City. and
in this way hats acquired the name
Several years ago the Panama govern
ment established a school for making
| Panama hats at a little town called Ar
faijan, but it was not a success. Colon
bia and Ecuador practically control the
hat-making industry, but the superior
grades all come from Ecuador, and
those with the highest reputation from
small town in the Province of Man
avi, named Montercrist. Cuenca is
another important hat-making centre
in Ecuador, but the product does not
command the price of the Montecristi
hat.

Japanese Landowners in California.

1t is estimated that the Japanese il.

they owned 2,242 acres and leased 81,

some Californians profess to see dan

AMEkICUS SHOULD WIN TIE
TROPHY

Americas should commence now ami
/ commence vigorously the effort to land
the attendance trophy for the Empire
State League. The baseball fans OF
this city, county and section are as
loyal to the team as any that can be
found anywhere.
A record in the past that has been
second to that of no city in Georgia
with amateur baseball is the one that
AmeTicus has laid claim to with pride.
That this record should be kept up
with league baseball is but a natural
inference. Americas is baseball
town, and good league ball, such as il
promised the fans here, should prove
as pleasing to them, if not mole pleas
ing, than amateur ball.
Americas has had some record
breaking crowds in the past at Fourth
of July and kindred games here, but
never has the city had so much at
stake in its record of this kind as ia
tie present instance when it is trying
for the attendance trophy in the Empire
State League. 1t will be a case where
Ameficus will measure itself with the
other cities of the state in regard to its
al ility to give support to clean AMI
wholesome sport in the way of base
ball
There is nothing that should stir the
city more towards doing its best than
remembrance of the fact that it is Wy
ing in this particular with Cordele.
Townsville, Brunswick and
Valdosta Americas must make good.
In fact, the people of Americas and tho
fans throughout this section should be
satisfied with nothing less than the
very best record possible, which is to
win the trophy.
1t is but short time now before the
league season opens. The first game
to be played here will be with Cordele
on the afternoon Of May 5. That is the
day upon which every fan in this city
and section is urged to come out and
to give his heartiest support to the
team. 1t will be day when everybody
lr this section of the state will be IN
Americus to witness the opening Of
the season. If you want to find friend
that day, you must come to Americas
TO find him. That is the spirit which
wins for this city and section, and it il
hoped and desired that it will find such
A manifestation on that day as it has
seldom found in the past.
