Proposed and opposed Jan COLONY.

Proposed and Opposed Jap Colony.
Judging by expressions of the Por-
tales Journal if Japanese colonize in
the Portales valley they may have eX-
periences that will call for an exodus
or an appeal to their government for
redress of grievances The Portales
paper tells Of the troubles and dan
gers Los Angeles papers recount as
due to japanese in California. Among
other features showing that Califor-
mans wish to exclude the Asiatics, ref
erence is made TO a mass meeting at
Bakersfield, which asked to have the
treaty made by Secretary Lansing can
celed.
A statewide movement of the organ
izations of mothers and parent teach
ers' associations asked for exclusion OF
Japanese women. These protests and
resolutions are from localities where
japanese have already secured foot
hold and, apparently, the communl-
ties affected are unanimous in their
demands that some relief be fur-
nished.
Says the Portales paper:
Have we come to that point where
we are willing for other states to dump
their scum into our midst for the sole
consideration of few people who
want to dispose of their lands? The
time to aid is before the scheme has
been accomplished, and that time is
when the next attempt is made. Par
ties bringing representatives of Jap
colonies should be warned to stay
away from this valley, and in the
event that the warning is not needed,
measures should be taken to make
those warnings effective. Keep out the
Japs, peaceably, if possible, but keep
them out"

not appreeiative."

There seems to be something that
prevents the justices sitting in the
various branches Of the District Su-
preme Court, which has again taken
up its quarters in the reconstructed
"City Hail." from clearly understand
ing those who come before them in
pleading cases.
Lawyers speak neither loudly nor
distinctly enough; the distance be-
tween the bench and the inclosure
where lawyers and their clients are IL
too great; or the acoustics Of the
courtrooms are imperfect.
Whatever it is, Justice Hitz, pre-
siding in the courts since they have
been again occupied, has had occa-
sion in numerous instances to ask
lawyers and. others on business be-
fore the courts ''to please talk q little
louder, l can't hear you"
