Establishment OF a court OF de-

bitterly was a mistake. The eminent
fairness OF such manner Of finding

and labor brings general public ap-
prevail. The lack in the bill and In the
law Is not Of fairness toward the
workmen. II there Is unfa.rne8 In II,
IL Is because II does not unqualifedly
protect the public against the loss
and suffering caused BY strikes.
Perhaps II Is the best that could
have been done under present cir
cumstances and conditions. At any
rate 1t should be accepted and up

u rasuslt snsuIS srAar WITH JAPAN

Writing to q friend In 1910 about
his travels In Europe Theodore
Roosevelt said that war with Japan
would certainly have resulted when
California sought TO have the JAps
excluded from this country simply
because they were Japs. Roosevelt
referring to the incident said:
u have had labor unions and simi-
lar organizations pass resolutions
and send them 70 me demanding
that we cease building UP the navy
and At the very same time that they
demanded that adopt che policy OF
japanese exclusion In such form a.
would certainly have brought us war
with Japan. War would probably
have come II had either yielded to
their wishes ~ to the form which
the policy Of exclusion WAS to take
or had failed to keep at the highest
point OF efficiency the American
navy. II would certainly have come
II l had yielded to their wishes In
both regards"
In the LIGHT OF the accuracy OF
Rooseveits knowledge OF the kaisers
intentions II must be believed that he
knew what he was talking tbout In
his reference to Japan and that
makes California state politics just
now Of national concern.
Out there racial prejudice against
the Japs 10 very strong because they
work long hours and work their
women and children in the fields and
undersen their white competitors.
Senator fneiah, democratic senator
from that state seeking reelection
In a republican year, is very much
in need of popular issue sc he re-
wives the anti-Jap issue which
Roosevelt succeeded in squelching
ten years ago. He has demanded OF
California; progressive republican
governor that he convene the legis-
lature of California in special ses-
sion to leEislate against the Japs.
The governor feeling his response
bility in the matter, prefers to await
q regular session when perhaps tho
demogosie and inhammatory propa-
ganda of PhelAn will have subsided
but Phelap threatens to circulate
petitions for a special election to
enact anti Jap laws by direct initi-
alive. Phelan II a millionaire not
much concerned about Japanese
competition himself but he is willing
to involve the nation in complications
with a foreign power for the sake OF
re- election.
Should California succeed in start
ing something with Japan again and
should the crisis come during the
present administration wherein the
headstrong and wilful executive
paraly zed on one side from q blood
c,ot on the brain would not only con-
duct the negotiations with Japan pu,
would command both the army and
the navy We might have = situation
far more serious and far more
humiliating than our present prsdica-
ment with Mexico.
