policy on tho race issue. A great many
Of both do not hesitate to charge that
it is within the power of tho American
Government to put an end to the out
RACES" inflicted on Japanese subjects
In California. Few Of them, however,
advocate retaliation Of forcible char
acter. The reason is that all of the
newspapers in Japan are pretty closely
censored. Every paper has "jail
editor" whose duty It is to serve a
sentence in prison for any infraction
Of the rules prescribed by the Govern
ment for the regulation Of periodicals.
This Jail editor" is usually an ig-
norant coolie who receives a few yen
a month and probably lives better in
Jail than he could outside. Once in a
while a newspaper is suppressed for a
day or two. Sometimes an editor is
warned not to publish reference to an
event that the Government does not
desire communicated to the public
The notice not to publish is generally
the first intimation the editor receives
of the incident.
Propaganda In Given Out.
OF late the Government has been
going in strong for bureaus Of infor-
nation" Reams and reams Of hand
outs" are given to the newspaper re-
porters who cover" the Government
departments. 1t Is usually propa-
ganda, but the vernacular press feels
itself obligated to present it without
qualification or comment to its readers.
Foreign Ambassadors and Ministers
proceed with the utmost caution In
dealing with the Government Expert
ence has prepared them for a maxi
mum of evasion and disingenuousness,
because Japanese diplomacy reverts to
the subtle processes Of twoscore years
ago and is decidedly reactionary. The
foreign representatives at Toxic. how
ever. concede the utmost politeness on
the part of the spokesmen for the
Government with whom they are
brought in contact.
Discussion OF the Washington con-
ference by foreign officials and news
papers which reflect their view is

formed, is conducted through Japanese
firms. or at least through influential
combinations that act as the direct
representatives Of foreign concerns,
particularly in the case of Government
contracts.
This method. Of course. is not un-
usual in trade circles OF other coun-
tries; but foreign business men de-
clare that It prevails more generally
in the Mikado's kingdom than any,
where else. 1t is practically impos-
sible, they say, to secure considera-
ton Of business proposal Of any
magnitude except through a Japanese
intermediary. even in cases where
there is no competition.

the japanese" He expressed the opin-
ION that "if there Is any misunder-
standing between them it is because
foreigners in Japan do not understand
our ways and do not make any effort
to accommodate themselves to customs
Of the country"
An Estimate OF Americans.
When asked him to elucidate, he
said:
Ninety per cent. of the Americans
who come to Japan have no intention
or becoming citizens or residing per-
manently among us. They are here to
make money. When they have made

restrict their relations with our peo-
pie to business affairs and try to i'm
pose their business methods on us
instead of accepting ours. A great
many Japanese people are, of course,
very much displeased at the attitude
OF the people in America TO the Japan
ese who take up their residence in that
country. They naturally attribute it
to the influence which trade unions
WELD in American politics.
But think the feature OF the
American attitude that most deeply
grteves our people is the tendency of
the Americans to place us on the same
plane as the negro In your Southern
States or the Chinese. However, that
cannot be helped and do not see any
cure for 1t. AS far as the limitation OF
immigration goes. that. I think, can
be adjusted by frank and impartial
discussion between the two countries.
Only a small percentage OF the Japan
ese people desire to live anywhere else,
for the same reason that only small
percentage of Americans desire to live
outside of their own country.
ut is a matter of very great re-
gret, of course, to the Japanese peo-
pie, who are very proud of their his
tory and progress. that the great
American people should be less gen.
erous and hospitable to the Japanese
people than the Japanese people are
to Americans who como to do busi-
ness with or visit them. hope that
the Washington conference will at
least result in a better understanding
between them in this respect"

HIVE to Take In Japanese.

A source OF general complaint among
foreign business men Is that it Is prac-
tically impossible to do business In
Japan without the cooperation Of
Japanese firms engaged in the same
business. Foreigners not only are pre-
vented from owning land In the coun-
try, but they are not encouraged to
initiate business ventures independent
of Japanese influences. which are held
to be very great. Most OF the foreign
business of any magnitude, I am in

Rishopville, May 21.-Memorial day
passed off very pleasantly, the weath-
er being fine. Only fifteen old SOL
diers were present. Our camp met

new officers elected for the next year
were: Commander, J. d. Newman;
Vice-commander, D. E. Keels; Adju-

ley, elected to the same offices. Al
ter the meeting adjourned the ladies'
invited us to the town hall where we
and our wives were served Sump-
tuuous dinner as, is the custom. AT
$3.50 O'Clock We all met at the Meth
odist church where Rev. W. Y. Dlb-
BILE delivered a most excellent address
and the choir gave US lots OF de-
lightful music Then the committee
of ladies and girls visited the three
cemeterise and decorated each Con-
federate grave with a wreath OF
flowers.
The Confederate reunion in CAM
den was a delightful occasion. 1t was
equally as good as it was in Sumter
last year. Everything was done for
the comfort and pleasure Of the old
veterans, and we enjoyed their hospi-
tality, and appreciated their gener-
osity.
The prospects for a cotton crop are
very gloomy: poor stands ana the
plants are so small and look SO
weak. Corn looks very we'll. and
oats are very good. Some OF the
farmers are gathering their oats.
