JAPANESE NOT
WRONGED By u. 5.
EXCLUSION ACT

Providence, r. l., Nov. GIN
an address in this city, DIR. Yusuki
Tsurumi, leader of the Liberal
party in Japan, expressed the be
lief that the recent passage of the
Oriental exclusion act, by congress
was "inexplicable."
The Far East statesman adopt
ed the general policy Of japanese
and their friends in the United
States by implying that the act
is aimed specifically at the Jap
anese, rather than every country
whose nationals are ineligible 10
citizenship in the United States.
In this propaganda there is 10
attempt to challenge the right Of
the United States to say who shall
be admitted, but objection is raised
to "the method employed"
In other words, the Japanese
and their friends do not object
to exclusion legislation provided
it does not exclude, as was the
case with the "gentlemen's agree
ment."
That agreement, negotiated by
President Roosevelt in 1907, is the
only instance where the regulation
of immigration was taken out Of
the hands of congress. Japan
pledged to check further immigra-
ton to this country. Under the
agreement, however, relatives and

 Love is a wonderful thing. yet there are people who would rather marry for money.
 You can't believe everything a wom- an says who compliments another on her beauty.

40 pupils attending. The school Is
presided over by Miss Coulter.
All the buildings are constructed
of log with single roof. All the
building operations, from getting out
and hewing the logs, to finishing the
interiors, has been done with Indian
labor under the direction and super
vision of the superintendent. The
buildings are slightly and the work
is well and skilfully done. Mr..
Parker tells me that they contem-

The spiritual welfare of the people
is ministered to by the. National In
dian association, which is in charge
of Mr.. and Mrs. Burroughs, assisted
by one young lady missionary. The
buildings are neat and picturesque.
The postoffice is located in the Mis-
sion building. The women of the
reservation are taught to sew among
other social activities, and Mr.. Bur-
roughs has secured a market for bead
work so the workers derive consider
the instruction and help of
the association.
In Bear Paw Mountains
The Catholics have had allotted to
them four acres of ground on which
to build. They have no structure as
yet, but the Rev. Father Corbett of
Havre holds services about once a
month for the adherents of that
faith.
The reservation is situated in the
Bear Paw mountains, about 16 miles
aavre. 1t contains much beautiful
md picturesque scenery and is in
'ertile section. The rainfall in these
mountains is greater than on the
'lains and this no doubt accounts for
he success of these people in raising
.rops. Their success is, of course,
lue greatly to the able instruction of
Mr.. Parker, who is devoted to his
work and has wrought little short
# a miracle with these people in the
hort period he has been among
hem.
With the camping and play ground

or the use of tourists east of the
indian reservation, we believe the
uaint ways of these people and the
eauty of THE .scehery in the Bear
aw mountains will bring many visi-

d Sunday night to his home after at
lending the quarterly convention of the
New England Association of CONNER
cial Organization Secretaries at Wor-
lester. He went to that meeting espe-
cially to carry to the secretaries an in
vitation to hold their June meeting in
Augusta.
Mr.. Folsom found that because of n
clause in the bylaws which specifically
states that the June meeting, which is
the annual meeting. must be held in or
near Boston, because of its central To-
cation. 1t will not be possible to have
the secretaries here at that time. 1t
has been the custom to hold that meet
ing at the Ocean House in Swampscott,
Mass, with the Salem Chamber Of

has become an unwritten law of the. or

terested a number OF the secretaries in
Augusta as meeting place for the

will be n change In the board of direc-

Retail MERCHANTS
CONSIDER CLOSING
Saturday p p, N N, IS

The matter of summer closing will
be taken up at meeting of the Mer-
chants Bureau which will be held this
afternoon between the hours of $50
and 43O at the Chamber of Commerce
assembly room. 1t has been the Gus
tom in past years for the stores of the
city to close on Wednesday afternoons
during the summer months.
A new plan is proposed by some or
the people of the city this year which.
If carried through, would give a fine
chance for those who are so inclined
to take weekend trips to the seashore
or to their favorite pond. BY this plan
the stores would not close on Weones-
day afternoon, but would stay open on
Friday night and close Saturday aft
ernoon, thus giving the people Satur-
day afternoon and evening and Sunday
in which to enjoy these trips.
Another matter to be taken up at
this meeting is that of cooperative
sales during the year. 1t is advocated
that four of these sales be held each
year, and that they take IL form SINH
lar to that of dollar day when the
storekeepers all offer attractive bar
gains. The matter of cooperative
spring openings at the same time,
discussion of out-of-town buying by
local organizations, and consideration
of the ACCESSIBILITY of closing on Pa
triots' Day, will also be taken up at
this meeting.
Letters have been sent out signed
by President Edwin S. Reid and Sec
rotary Herbert Folsom of The Mer-
chants Bureau, asking every member
of the bureau to be present or to be
represented if possible at this meet
ing.

inc registration committee which
has the matter of assigning lodgings
for the boys in charge, has succeed
cd in placing $50 boys thus far,
Hallowell Gardiner and Winthrop
will take care Of quite a few of these
boys but there is still a need of hosts
for 200 boys. The committee assigns
the boys to the homes before they
arrive here, so that when they regis
ter they are told at once where they
will be cared for. The work of the
committee is now held up because OF
the lack of room for the boys and II
is necessary that these 200 boys pc
placed at once as the time is very
short. Those who can take one or
more boys and provide them with
room and meals for the three Gays
should notify the Augusta Chamber
of Commerce, Attorney Robert VIII
hanson, or tho Augusta Y. NJ. c. A.,
at once so that this work can be ac-
complish, d before the boys arrive.
In regard to the accommodation OF
BOYS at the Augusta House by citi-
Zens who cannot take them into their
homes but are willing to pay for the
entertainment of one or more OF the
delegates, form letter sent out from
the G. of c. office contained a state
ment as to cost which was erroneous.
The cost of lodging and feeding boys
for the period of the conference at
the Augusta House Under a special
rate provision will be $3.50 and not
$3.50 as stated in that letter
The finance committee is going
strong and the. banquet committee
has everything all arranged. and are
marking time until the boys get
here. The programs will be ready
for the boys when they arrive and
will be of great help to them. An
added feature of the recreatiOnal
part of the program, which will de-
light the delegates is chance to
visit the large Vicllery and Hill pub
fishing plant in this city.
The "Y's" Tidbits will be presented
at City Hall for the boys and the
members of the cast will rehearse
tonight. Because of an injury to
BILL" Ellis the interlocutor, this posi-
ton will be filled by Don Hewitt.
Phil Merrill has been appointed Of
fetal pianist of the conference and
this feature will be much enjoyed by
the boys.
