JAPANESE BATTING.

For certain purposes this country

coast states from continually batting
Japan. There is no sound reason why
the people of the island empire should
not be treated as are the people of
any other civilized country and the
japanese know it. If this country ever
engages in war with Japan it will be
due to the selfishness of these west

ban. She has seen California exclude
Japanese children from the white
schools of the state and deprive ia
panese of the right to hold land. Now
she sees Oregon and Idaho following
in the footsteps of California with
similar legislation. In her new posi-
ton as a world-power Japan bitterly
resents these measures of discrimina-
ticn. She demands absolute equality
with the white race.
Only last week the japanese am

utmost to prevent the passage of the
| proposed measures.
How long can these states be per-
suaded to be good? Shall a small
group of states be permitted to involve

which does not otherwise concern

A great big man with a squeaky

L said, Mr.. L., if two people have

1 said, Just so. Would a man ever
see or be able to write as she does ??
He replied, Il guess you are right.
Why is it that people so firmly per-

written by a woman are written by
a man?
