WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE
Small Boy SatIfied that tho Bill for
His Three Days Fun Was Not
Exorbltant.

At last little Freddy was allowed to
visit grandpa all alone. They were
great friends, and had long waited for
the great day.
Freddy had the time of his life.
Grandpa saw that he wanted for
nothing. The small boy ate more
cream buns in those three days than
he would otherwise have done in three
years, while his pockets bulged all the
time with candies.
But there comes an end to every
thing, and Freddy went home again.

and feverish. Mother promptly sent
for the doctor, who ordered him to
bed. and sent him some very unpleas-
ant, but doubtless healing medicine.
Grandpa came next day and was
permitted to creep upstairs to see how
the sufferer was faring. He found the
small boy lying wan and pale on his
pillow. but received a watery smile as
q welcome.
"Oh, grandpa" said the weak little
voice. 'rTve been awfully bad-but 1t
was worth It."

Paris, France.-"Learn German" is
the advice former President Poincare

said:
"To dominate German science, we

to foreign literature, not even that Of
Germany"
NJ. Poincare added that German
must be known by those who under
take the administration of the occu-

French to its proper place in Alsace-

learn German. The government has

NOTHING PERMANENT CAN TAKE
PLACE UNTIL AFTER PRES
IDENTIAL ELECTION.
JAPAN MUST Be PATIENT
DANGER AHEAD IF CALIFORNIA
PASSES PROPOSED REFER.
ENDUM MEASURE.
Western Newspaper Union News ssrvios.


Toxic, Sept 22.-Representative Jap
anese express the opinion that there is
no hope of permanent solution of the
California problem until after the
States. Through the medium of the
press, however, they continue to put
forward strong opposition to the pro-
posed referendum in California, de-
signed to extend the present law ex-
cluding Japanese from land ownership
in California so as to forbid Japanese
from holding lands by lease, and also
to prevent Japanese holding land
through ownership of alleged dummy"
corporations.
Among the writer's is Viscount Ia
kaaN Kato, former foreign minister,
who says:
"That America, which constantly il
advocating the cause of righteousness
and humanity, should dare without
giving proper reasons to deprive jap
anese Of the fruits of many years Of
painstaking labor is an act we can
never overlook. That America of all
countries should resort to an act so
cruel and inhuman is really inexplica-
ble."
Viscount Kentaro Kaneko, president
Of the Japan-America Society of Toxic,
announces in an interview with the
Japan Advertiser that If he goes to
America in the interest of bettering re-
lations between Japan and the United
States, as suggested by members Of the
cabinet, he will make the trip early
next year.
"If California passes the proposed
bill by the referendum" Viscount Kan
exc says, California will write an in
delible impression upon the minds OF
every man, woman and child in Japan.
"But I do not predict war will re-
suit II this action is taken. All the
good the visit of Perry to Japan accom-
plished and all the friendship that has
grown up between the two nations in
the last sixty-four years, however, will
be wiped out in single day."
Viscount KanekO declares that II
Japan were approached in a reasona-
BILE way, positive and peaceful ar
rangement could be reached.
"Why doesn't California allow the
question to be taken up through the
diplomatic channels Of the two govern
ments?" he asks.
Jinosuki Inouye, governor of the
Bank of Japan, wrote that If the jap
anese in America expected the same
rights as Americans, they should fol-
low the manners and customs of the
country. He said he believed the in
telligent men of Japan should see to it
that Japanese immigrants amend their
ways where reform is advisable, and
refrain from unnecessarily wounding
the feelings of Americans
Other writer's think the California
problem only one aspect Of grave
problem. They say Japan, as the first
Oriental power, must assume the lead
ership and patiently seek the best
means looking to a practical under
standing.
The Yomi-Uri Shimbun says 1t learns
leading members of the House Of
Peers have decided to urge the govern
ment to adopt firm attitude in diplo-
matte dealings with America concern
