The classes will be held regularly
on Tuesday and Friday evenings and
are free to all men between eighteen
and forty-tive years old, regardless of

law
The advantages in having a good
start in the French language seem OBJ

Miss Ida Gordon Howell is not the

not trained in the language. but she
was educated partly in Paris and has
lived for years at a time in French
speaking countries, SO that her French
is the French Of the inhabitants Of
France, with all It's colloquilisms and
idioms. This makes this course much
better than those usually given In col

Miss Howell is doing an important

CRA|G'S CASE
ON JAPANESE
What the Litigation Was About That
Resulted in Widely Reported
Decision by keokuk
Product.
A JAP AND HIS CHILDREN
Much Interest in California Where
There is Much Prejudice Against
the Japanese
People.

While coming from a different mo-
tive, there is quite as much interest
in Keokuk as in California in the
decision of Judge Hugh II. Craig at
Riverside that native born Japanese
can hold real estate in that state.
Here the interest is in the judge
whose decision was telegraphed all
over the country the day 1t was rem
dered.
California papers give 1t great
prominence. It was suit between
the state Of California and Jaap-
nese restaurant keeper named Harada
who bought some property in the
names of his children who were born
In California.
He took the position that they were
Tried to Eseheat Property.
Attorney General U. S. Webb
brought a suit on behalf Of the state,
to escheat the property under the
provisions of the alien land law. The
defendants interposed a demurrer to
the complaint, which had the effect
of bringing the legal questions in
volved on for hearing. and the ruling
was made by Judge Craig
in sustaining the demurrer. which
means that the defendants conten-
lions were upheld. The state, 1t was
said, would probably move against
the decision.
This California alien Land law pro-
hibits persons not eligible to citizen
ship from acquiring real estate in
California, except to the extent and
for the purposes prescribed by
treaty and with a further exception IN
favor of leases for agricultural pur-
poses not exceeding three years.
After the enactment OF the law.
Jukichi Harada, Japanese, bought
a. lot in a residential neighborhood
in Riverside and had the deed issued
to Mine, Sunni and Yoshizo Harada,
his three minor children. They were
born in the United States and were
therefore citizens and entitled to
hold real estate.
The Neighbors Objected.
People living in the neighborhood
object to the Japanese occupying the
property and a committee waited
upon Haranda with an offer to buy
the lot from him at price above
that which he had paid. He declined
to sell, explaining It was the kind OF
a neighborhood In which he wtshed
to bring up his children.
It was the contention Of Joseph L
deputy attorney general
who represented the state in the litd. |
cation, that Harada had the deed is- |
sued to his children merely as sub |
terfuge to evade the law. Harada in |
sisted that in having the deed issued |
to his children he made them an out
right and unconditional gift Of the !
property This was the issue involved
In the decision handed down.
The question Of the constitution
atty of the law was raised In a pre-
liminary hearing and the court held

caused by the war it is of interest
and of comfort to note the discussion
in all quarters of the world on meth
DDS Of economy and OF higher eff
cheney in industry.
The industrial life of any one of
the civilized nations will provide a
score of instances where wise and
fruitful economies have sprung out
Of war scarcity.
Every city used to waste the ma
jor part of its used paper.
Nowadays spoiled paper is almost
universally collected and utilized
again. Old newspapers and torn
wrapping papers are collected for
the mills, where they reappear as
cartridge paper In the happy COM
ing times of peace they will reappear
as packing paper, and the forests Of
the world will be spared part of the
old tax on them by the economy
which the war has taught us.
In the United States, a country of
such great natural wealth that Law
ishness is almost inevitable, there is
a movement afoot to utilize the i'm
mense heaps Of slack coal. 1t is
pointed out that countries poorer in
coal make this slack into fuel bri-
quotes. The United States is learn
ing now to do likewise.
The utilization Of rice-waste, of
old tins, of old leather, of flaxwaste,
are instances in point. In another
direction the world is winning great
advantage from the superior organi-
cation and concentration of indus
trial undertakings. A current pro-
posal in Great Britain is for an eff
fective reorganization of the bust
ness of electric supply, by which. it
Is estimated, millions of tons of coal
can be saved annually The proposal
is a direct outcome of research in
the problems of production due to
the war. There are many similar
ones. Humanity is going to benefit
one day from some or all of them.
But on the whole we have derived
no greater economic benefit from the
of our industrial life
induced by the war than that which
has come from the better under
standing of the land question. In a
spirit of wild waste, which is only
now coming to be understood and
deplored, the older countries were
gradually allowing their lands to
pass out of cultivation, trusting to
make UP their food supplies from the
exploitation of virgin lands. Before
the war the effect of this was be-
coming felt by the general advances
OF food prices, especially of meat.
Now, as a consequence Of the war,
the land is beginning to be more
wisely regarded. Even in the United
States, a comparatively new country
the land had begun to pass out of
cultivation; but it is now knowing

Palean street, has for three years
thrown open his own library to the
use of the colored people of the city.
He noticed that many children and
boys were hanging in an idle way
about the streets and thought he
wodld provide a place for them to
come and read and improve their
minds. The grown-up people were
invited to avail themselves also Of
the privilege OF his books.
His library was large. but he in
creased the collection of volumes
when he established the coaored pub
lie library three years ago. Now be-
tween 1900 and 5000 books and
magazines are available for use.

used in the high school course aid

1t is in tender memory Of his wife
and son, William, both Of whom are
deceased. that DR.. Phillips has do
mated his library to the colored peo-
pie.
Il established the library to bring
about the further education and
progress of the colored people of the
city," said DIR. Phillips. This public
benefactor has lived in Keokuk thir-
ty years. At one time has was pastor
of the Pilgrims Rest Baptist church.
