with her leaving It to Japan to decide who
shall or shall not be eligible for admission
into the United States
Because this arrangement in no manner
solved the problem, California has finally
passed an act for the rigid exclusion OF
Asiatic people from the ownership of land
there. It sounds more drastic than any other
land laws ] have seen. Australia's included.

Japanese already here instead of preventing
them from coming here. California assumes

this is the most Just procedure. but the in
it1atve measure passed at the last election
by an overwhelming vote leaves absolutely
no room for doubt as to the feeling of the
people there.
However. the gradual penetration Of
America by the Japanese. which has caused
California to pass this law. must not be re-
card"d as purely local matter The enforce
rnent OF this new law is bound to cause n
redistribution of the Japanese population
here. In October. 1920, the Orient made its
first real jump across America The local
newspaper of Ithaca, N. Y, published the
account Of a Japanese who had driven his
little Ford, trailing two wag on loads of house
hold effects and (the paper sad) nine chill
dren. This japanese gentleman had driven
all the way from Texas and on arriving at
Ithaca he camped on the road above the
shores Of Lake Cayuga for a couple of weeks
while he was negotiating for the purchase
of n fifty acre piece Of land He planned to
take up dairyng and garden truck farming,
10 send his children to school and himself
to enter the Department OF Agriculture Of
Cornell University. No mention was made
OF what his wife would do.
From the point Of view Of the California
land situation this is perhaps a healthful
sign of relief. Tho proper distribution of the
Japanese now in the country 20 break up any
tendency to clannishness is imperative. But
care must be taken that regions do not pre-
cipitate a flood of California japanese upon
themselves by too open welcome. That
would simply be a shifting Of the problem
from one section of the country to another.
Florida. 1t seems has now given such an in
vitation to Japanese. What is bound to be
the result? =.

Forced to Make His Own Gun
Bow Turns OUT Marvel

In 1891 Eliphalet Remington I'd was born
on his fathers farm in HerlSimer county, New
York. not far from tho place where the bust
ling town OF lion now stands. At that time
the wooded hills of the district teemed with
game of all sorts, and the farming fraternity
laid aside their ploughs and field implements
at certain seasons to spend some of their
days In the relaxation of hunting. II was
the ambition of every boy TO own gun so
that he might share In the sport which alb
sorbed his elders Eliphalet Remington 2d
was no exception to his husky red blooded
comrades, and along about 1910 he begged
his father to give him money enough where
with to buy a rifle. His senior declined for
good and sufficient reasons.
Worthwhile firearms then cost tidy sum-
They were for the most part Injuries as the

and for this purpose Eliphalet Remington

his place. There his son had learned TO

Settlement of One Jap Means
Beginning of a Community

But along comes this Japanese with an Gin

munity. The newcomer has his pick. He is
liked. quite naturally, for he is good fellow ;
at least, an inoffensive curiosity. Hitherto
those of his kind who have come have done
nothing but spend their money, as students

trade, to enter into competition with his
neighbors. The very fact that he is unique
at first will doubtless keep him more or less
isolated. He therefore writes to his kin and
friends of the generous treatment accorded
him. Others come. And in a little while
small community will spring into being.
OF course, judging from the tendency of
Japanese emigration in the past. there is
no imminent prospect of any Eastern in

essentially a matter Of climate. The Jap

The JingoistS Cry Revenge
But This Does Not Mean Rupture


There are jlngoists in Japan who CRY re
venge. But no one who knows the emo
tional nature of the Japanese and tho quail
ity OF its press would for q moment believe
that any direct rupture is likely to result
from the passage of this law California
mas Disseminated against the japanese but
on economic rather than racial grounds and
in that not more severely than has Japan's
ally. Australia on racial grounds California
wanted the Constitution changed so that no
Japanese born in America could be by virtue
of birth an American citizen That is a ma
tonal matter and does not belong TO this
discussion.
Though California may have solved the

This without doubt is to pour oil on the
troubled waters. The California law has
sought carefully not to interfere with such
rights as Japan has had under our treaty
with her. In that matter neither nation has

however, as has been the case during the
past. no new law should be permitted to be
retroactive so as TO deprive them of tho
fruits of their labors. True that much OF
this has been acquired through evasion II
the japanese now in California are so oh

Japanese will be given chance to prove

for special work. Thus In a spirit Of prog
ress and OF responsibility they added sue

In the early seventies the Remingtons

terval that two Of the brothers, Philo and
Samuel, died leaving Eliphalet 81 TO con
tinue the family business. When brought TO
point of splendid promise, mechanically
sound. the typewriter was still ahead Of the
times. For a comparatively small sum the
rights TO the instrument were sold to three
former employees of the Remington factory
and IL is common knowledge that a fortune
was subsequently amassed by these far sec
ing young men.
Inventive Traits Continue
in the Younger Generation.
Eliphalet Remington 81 has something
more than his benehcence and the ac<nowl-
edgments Of his creative skill to comfort him
in his ripe and withal, vigorous years. His
son. Philo Remington ID born in 1870 has
inherited the inventive traits of his fore
bears. and, thanks to n scientific education
which neither his father nor grandfather
enjoyed. he is especially fitted to take over
the reins which must be dropped ere long
by his still capable parent Back in 1895
Philo built one Of the first automobiles i'm
this country and even then had the vision
OF n system by which "A one price machine
could be turned out In quantity. He thus
anticipated a practice that has to-day the
stamp of commercial approval.

directions, but none OF these is likely TO be
more generally recognized than his recent

aliens it centres most OF it's attention on
"the disabilities of certain companies, asso-
Citations and corporations with respect to
property in the State" After individuals
were barred from the ownership OF land the
Japanese succeeded in acquiring title cor
porations with a sufficient number of white
people in them to make them legal. The
white men simply loaned the use of their
names to evade the law And because
American born Japanese could not be pre-
vented from acquiring land the Japanese
took advantage of this relationship and had
themselves appointed as guardians. There
are still very few American born Japanese
of age to be able to take title themselves.

would really be no Japanese problem there.
In order therefore, to check conspiracy Their

ton 10, which makes it a crime punishable
by two years Imprisonment in the county
jail or state penitentiary. or a fine not eN
ceeding $4,000, or both. for two or more
persons to Conspire to effect a transfer OF
real property, or OF an interest therein, In
violation Of the provisions" Of this law.
Here, then, is the gist OF the whole Jap
anese problem; whether it is a solution of IL
or not remains 10 be seen. Pro-Japanese
claim that this yellow peril" talk is a re-
curing prediction scare. IL so. those poll
ticians who have sought to get themselves
into office have done themselves out OF fu-
ture campaign material IT is interesting to
note that Senator Phelan, who has been
charged by many to have had none but
political motives in furthering this propa
ganda, has not been reelected. Yet the land
law was passed. IT is therefore obvious thai
the issue had deeper than four year roots.
This election has shown that the japanese
problem is not purely an election issue.
Californians Satisfied but Wait
For Action at Washington
The Californians now have things pretty
much as they want them. 1t remains for
Washington to assist them in its solution or
undo their success. Reports have 1t that
our Ambassador to Toxic has been closeted
with the Japanese Ambassador to Washing

that is. IT is to be sold and the proceeds
mot the property itself distributed to the
heir; or where it is not case of inheritance,
but simply a violation of ownership, the
property shall pass TO the State of Cali
fornia. This addition has been made: That
in case agricultural land through debt or
mortgage falls into the possession Of any
alien ineligible TO own land, he may not
hold it for more than two years.
In the whole question of the evasion of
the existing law in California the tendency
is TO regard the Japanese as the offenders.
