Japs are Concerned
Over Activities Under
Jones Shipping Bill

LONDON, Eng.-According to adj
vices which are being received here
great attention is being paid in To-
kio, Japan to the Jones shipping
bill. 1t is stated that shipping ana
merchantile interests are taking
steps to meet the disastrous effects
which they believe the measure will
have upon Japanese shipping and
trade.
The chamber of commerce of To-
kio has arranged for a conference to
be held shortly to consider the mat
ter and this organization will be
supported by exporters guilds of the
leading ports.
1t has been urged upon the Japa-
nese diet that the Jones bill will
affect 80 per cent OF Japans shipping
trade and the shipping companies are
preparing q memorial in which they
ask the government to make formal
protest and take steps to retaliate in
kind by prohibiting or restricting the
entry of American ships into Japan
nese ports.
1t has even been suggested that all
Japanese companies should resign
from the Hong Kong conference
which regulates freights in the far
east and take their own measures in
the way of freight reductions, ETC., to
compete with the American ships
which are coming into far eastern
waters in ever-increasing numbers.
Other ship-owners advocate
league of British and Japanese COM
panies to counteract the American
efforts. The Philippines government
is protesting against the inclusion of
the Philippines in the United States
coastal shipping area as an infringe
ment of the autonomy of the islands.
In this particular section it is stated
that British shipping has already be-
gun to recover some of the ground
it lost during the war.

EXPLANATION MADE OF
ABSENT VOTERS LAW

Literature and instructions re-
garding the absent voters law will
be sent to voters thruout the state,
according to announcements made at
the Republican state headquarters.
Reproduction of the blank upon
which application must be made to
the county auditor is included in the
literature.
@Any voter the instructions
read, knowing that he is to be alb
sent on the day of election may at
any time, not more than fifteen days
before the election, call at the office
of the county auditor, and obtain a
ballot, voting it at said office and
sealing it and depositing it with said
officer, before leaving his home. This
plan obviates the necessity of using
the mail in sending the official bal
lot to the voter and having it re-
turned by him.
The law provides that ballots
voted by absent electors must be de-
livered by the county auditor to the
election judges of the precinct in
which the voter is registered. The
judges open the ballot on the day of
the election.
The ballot may be sent in by mail,
if the voter is not able to be at home
on or previous to election day. The
application blank for a ballot,
(which may be obtained from the
county auditory must be sworn to
before duly authorized officer,
reads the law.
The voter then marks his ballot
and mails it in registered envelope
to the county auditor.
The letter. also urges that applica-
lions for ballots be made as early as
possible in order that slow mails or
other delays not bring the ballot in
too late to be counted. 1t is neces-
sary that the person be registered in
his precinct in order to take advant-
age of this law. 3.

IMMIGRANT TIDE
is SWELLING

From Europe is coming tide OF
immigrants this year that promises
to break all previous immigration
records. Ellis island officials have
been taxed to handle the crowds that
ship after ship is. bringing in. The
record year for immigration into this
country was that ended June 80,
1907, when 1,2S6,349 aliens came
to our shores. In 1914 the next
largest number came, when the total
was 1,21S,4S0. The ten-year aver
age before the war was 100000 a
year. Already this year over half
million have found passage to this
to increase in the later months of
the year The type of alien coming
is much the same as in pre-war days,
a cOnglomerate mass of humans
mostly from southern Europe. It is
remarked that there is practically no
German immigration, and that the
northern Europe type is largely out
numbered by the immigrant from
southern Europe. In fact, the theory
has been advanced that If the pre-
ponderance of immigration remains
in favor Of the Latin European a. new
type of American will result in the
next generations, favoring the
smaller, darker and less rugged type,
rather than the lank and lean-faced
individual SO commonly accepted as
the true American type.
1t is fact that the immigrants
from the Scandinavian peninsula and
northern Europeeare generally those
who seek to make their homes on
farms, They have settled largely in
our northern states, where they have
become tillers of the soil and import
ant factors in their community life.
On the other hand the immigrant
from the south of Europe generally
makes for the larger cities, where
he mingles clannishly with his
brethren. He is found in factories
and as a small tradesman, and US
ually is not a tiller of the soil.
Immigration has been one of the
problems that has been talked pro
and con for years. And year after
year we have gone on absorbing
million aliens, striving to make good
citizens out of people who have had
no particular ideals in life before.
Unless the newcomers are afflicted
with ultre-radical ideas the Process
has usually been of advantage to this
country bat in view of recent events
when so much of the radical agita-
ton of the country can be traced to
aliens, it would seem that some !
method of Manipulating the hetero-
genous multitude could be adopted |
to advantage in an effort to weed out |
the undesirables. Perhaps this is
hopeless task, however. Our immi-
grafton policy will remain as in the
past, no doubt, and this country con-
tinue to be the worlds great melting
pot.-H. P. P.

$4,000 in overdrafts and the checks
we're still coming in. He seemed
greatly agitated. | replied that the
checks would keep on coming in, in
considerable numbers for some days

He seemed greatly annoyed that
| did not understand how terrible
the financial situation was and how
impossible it was for him to cash my
checks according to the previous ar
rangements; arrangements that were
made before the financial storm
broke. That storm had been pro-
crossing for two weeks and ! knew
very little about it. He told me for
heaven sake to rustic up any prop
erty had that could turn into cash
and turn that cash into the bank as
quickly as possible to be used in cash
ing these checks and reducing the
balance of my overdraft. told him
it was out of the question to get
money right away. My transactions
would require time, Time be
damned; he said, what we want is
money and we want it quick
II replied that he would just be
Obliged to carry me to save himself;
that I was going along according to
our original arrangements and that
unless he carried me thru according.
to that plan l would be ruined and
would not be able to- pay him back
anything, but that if he would see me
thru could pay everything. l left
the bank with very heavy heart and
went out to see what l could do to
raise money.
Il turned over a band of cattle to
Los Angeles firm within few days
and got draft for $4,000. This
firm at Los Angeles was one of the
Oldest and best brokerage firms there
and their checks and drafts were
honored everywhere. When l got
this credit for $4,000 l hurried to
turn it into my bank against my
overdraft and much to my surprise
the banks could not get a dollar on
it. We tried all the different man
euvers that l had ever thought of
and others besides and for twenty
days that draft was still travelling
back and forth or lying in their bank
unhonored. That was an awful
twenty days for me and for the men
who were carrying me. But they
finally got it off of their hands thru
a New York bank and yet this was
only a drop in the bucket of their
troubles. 1t was rich mans panic
and the rich man had to~~bear the
brunt. The little fellows might be
nconvenienced, their business might
be tied up where they could not do
but the, big fellows who
were not able to meet the demands
upon them were simply going to the
wall and the accumulations of their
life time were being crushed like an
egg shell.

trial to me. These men who were

CHRISTIAN FAITH
CURE FOR UNREST
DECLARES BUTLER
Pendulum Has Strung Too Far.
He Says. in 1ddress to Pres
byterians: FditH Must Rule
the UOrid.
Try Associated Press)


PHILADELPHIA. May %. The
Christian faith as i cure for tn,
worlds Ills was advocated by DR.
Nicholas Murray Butler, president OF
Columbia University, in an address
TO commissioners of the Presbyterian
general assembly today.
Every conceivable explanation OF
the unrest, dissatisfaction and dis
order that prevails throughout the
world has been proposed except the
one that IS deepest and most import
ant he said. Having come to feel
himself quite superior TO all that has
gone before, and being without faith
! IN anything that lies beyond, man has
tended to become an extreme egoiSt.
. The wisdom, the justice. the morality
of an act or policy are now tested
solely by its Immediate results, and
these results are increasingly meas
ured in terms of the material and
emotional satisfaction of the moment.
In = world so constituted and so
motiTed unrest, dissatisfaction and
disorder are a necessity. Set free a
million on a thousand million human
Wills to work each for the accomplish
ment Of its own immediate material
satisfaction and nothing but unrest.
dissatisfaction and disorder is posi-
BILE.
What appears to have happened
IS that IN setting free from those eX-
ternal restraints and compulsions
which constitute tyranny, he has also
been set free from those internal re
straints and compulsions which dis
tinguish liberty from license.
The pendulum has swung too far.
The time has come. the time is indeed
already past, when the pendulum
should begin its swing backward
toward the middle point of wisdom,
Of sanity, of self-control and of
steady progress. Here is to be found
the religious obligation and the relig
ious opportunity of the American
nation in this year Of grace.
There can be no cure for the
worlds ills and no abatement of the
worlds discontentS until faith and
the rule Of everlasting principle are
again restored and made supreme in !
the life of men and of nation. This
can not be done by eXhortatlon or by
preaching alone. 1t must be done also
By teaching; careful, systematic, ra-
tional teaching that will snow In
simplest language that the unin-
structcd can understand what the es-
sentials of a permanent and lofty
morality, of a stable and just, social
and industrial order, and of q secure
and sublime religious faith.
The school, the family, and the
church are three cooperating educa-
tioaal agencies. each of which has It's
weight of sponsibility.
