The frantic efforts that have beer made from Washington to prevent the passage of a drastic alien land law in the state of California, for fear of arousing the indignation of the Jap anese, has invested the Japanese prop osition with dignity that is far and completely beyond its importance says the El Paso Times.
 Who and what is Japan, that as a nation it should seek to control or in terfere in the legislation of a sover- eign state of the American union of states? By what right has the Jap- anese government inserted it's probes cis in the affairs of the people of Cal lifornia, and through it's influence with the national government at Washing ton, caused the secretary of state to leave his post and journey to Sacra- mento to expostulate with the Cal ifornia legislature?
 
 afraid of Japan or any other nation on Gods footstool We are not so beholden to Japan as nation that we must compel one of our states to con- suit Japan in the enactment of legis- lation. If the people of California feel it is to their interest to shut the Jap out from the privilege of owning land in that state, that is a matter that comes purely within the province of the people of California They have only done what Texas did several years ago, and what the remainder of the states in the Union either has done or will do
 The people of the United States are not going to suffer any state in the Union to be overrun and dom mated by Japanese or any other alien influence. The people of Japan understand this fact, for they know just exactly what their treaty rights are in the United States and that We have a national exclusion law against them and all other Asiatics They know that public sentiment in the United States will never change, and that, if anything, our laws regard ing them will be made more drastic in the future,
 Yet they have been encouraged by the weakness shown at Washington in dealing with the problem as de veloped in California to declare an intention of pressing the matter of determining just what the status of the Japanese subjects is in the United States As if there was any necessity of determining the status which is fully understood by every Jap of even ordinary intelligence. Perhaps the very astute men at the head of the Japanese government are of the opin- ion that the weakness shown at Wash i ington is an evidence that desired con- | cession can be obtained through the eXertion of pressure, but if such is the TokiO idea it had best be promptly i abandoned The people of the United | States are not afraid of Japan, and ] they are growing exceedingly weary of the attempted Japanese scare that is constantly bobbing up from many sources. And when the American na-

If the English speaking people of the
world can keep the peace with one an

in a position to celebrate Il peace cen

will be able to do so. 1t is undoubtedly
to their interest to do 80. As the years

Of the great race should be drawn to,

and too few really conflicting interests to
allow anything to disturb their peaceful
relations.
They have many things to draw them
together. The great language they speak
is now spoken by more people than the
language of any other of the great west
ern nations. They have a common in
heritance in Chaucer. Shakespeare. Mil
ton. Bacon. Nay. in point Of a fact they
nave a common interest and Il common
pride in all the great products of An
glO-SaxOn literature, whether produced
on one side of the water or on the other.
More than this, they have a common
inheritance in all the great principles Of
freedom and self government the germs
of which their ancestors brought with
them from the German forests, which
germs they have cultivated and dcyel-
Oped through great tribulation, till
they are now the pride and glory of all
the English speaking lands. Here i'll
America we are by 10 means disposed to

religious and personal freedom were in
the balance; our ancestors were in the
fight between king and parliament. and
if they did not all fight on the same side
of the struggle. the great principles
which emerged triumphant from those
old bitter days, belong to US. No other

There are many varieties of palms:

Most of us will agree with Senator VIII

cultivating Il farm. He thinks the pris-

work to these women, the product of
their work going to the use of other pris-

BISHOPSTEAD
FETE PROVES A
HAPPY EVENT

Seldom has an outdoor fete had
more appropriate or more beautiful
setting, than had the one given on
Saturday afternoon and evening on
the lawn at Bishopstead. under the
auspices OF the Junior Auxiliary Of
the Dioceses OF Delaware for the
benefit OF the mission work Of the
diocese.
The lawn was tastefully decorated
with Japanese lanterns and the effect
was particularly beautiful and pic
turesque in the evening, with the
gay lights from the many various
colored lanterns and the glimmer of
electric lights on the porch, and
sparkling through the trees.
One could almost have imagined
ones self in Merrie England. as one
watched the country dancing on the
green and listened to the glee songs,
so beautifully sung by Mrs. Leonard
q. Wales, George McHugh, Mrs.
Frank Reynolds and Frederick Wyatt,
who wandered minstrel like, around
the ground while they sang.
The two pastoral plays, alice in
Wonderland" given by young people
from Trinity church; and "Pyramus
and Thisbe,' given by the Boys Club
OF Trinity church. we're excellently
ally. Master Dick Raymond as the
Halter, and Draper Smith as
Thisbe made distinct hits, although
Il is hard to make obstruction when
all who took part in both plays did so
we'll. The Spanish Dance and Wood
land Dance by Miss Bessie DUPONT
ELECTED much applause as also did the
fancy dancing by Miss Teyis and Miss
Zaidel Miller; the quaint minuet by
children from Old Swedes' Church led
by Myrtle Lyons and Beatrice Nc
Hugh. and the Peasant Dance by
children from Trinity church. led by
Misses Zaidel and Tevis Miller. I'm
der the direction of Mrs. George c.
Hail. Mrs. Frederick NJ. Kirkus. the
Rev. c. II. Molmead, the Rev r. l..
Wolven and the Rev w. c. Patterson,
who were responsible for the ar
rangement of the program the entire
afternoon and evening was one of
keen and complete enjoyment.
Mrs. ID. ]. Reinhardt, Mrs. F. w.
Curtis and a number OF girls had a
flower table and a number Of young
girls wandered around the grounds
with trays filled with flowers for
sale which added TO the pictures
queness of the general effect.
Mr.. Thompson and number of
vOunp women from ST IOhn's church
were in charge of the refreshments
and served the many who so desired.
with delicious dainties of all kinds.

duty and gave good service in look
