Washington, Sept. 12.-Great Bril-
tain took one step toward interna-
tional disarmament when Represen-
tative Tom Connally of Marlin, Tex,
arrived in England a few weeks back.
Tom, being Texas born and bred,
wears, as an essential part of his
wardrobe, shooting-iron. With
out gun he fells only halfclothed.
A real Texan like Tom will go with
out collar or tie, even without a
shirt, and feel more dressed up than
he will without his gun.
Tom tried to do the decent thing,
though, when he started for Europe
as member of the House select
committee Investigating Shipping
Board affairs.
Just as he realized q Texas SOM
brero and boots would make him
unduly conspicuous and weren't in
good taste for q Congressional tour
abroad, so he realized too, that tt
wear the regulation Texas As six
shooter was trifle too much like
toting heavy artillery.

Little Jack looked from his father
to me, and with that uncanny in
sight that children have he sensed
that something was wrong. But
when he crawled up to my side on
the bed, he put his tear-wet face
down close to mine, and with his

Tom Far From Gun-Shy, But He's Shy Gun

If labor has a sense Of humor. it
must be getting one big smile out
of the attention it is receiving just
now from the presidential camps.
The Labor Day pronunciamento

were only an incident in the efforts
of the presidential aspirant to lure
the labor vote.
No one objective in the campaign
Of any Of the candidates loom larger
than that Of capturing the vote Of

The effort to offset the endorse
ment of La Toilette by the Amerl-

make appear that this .ndorse-
ment does not carry the approval
Of the rank and file of labor vot-
ers, is recognized as the biggest
single undertaking the Republic
cans and Democrats face as the
campaign gets under way.
Just how seriously this labor sit
uation is regarded may be sensed
from the steps taken to provide q
pilgrimage Of "labor leaders" to the
White House on Labor Day.
President Coolidge received this
delegation, headed by T. v. O'Con-
nor, chairman of the Shipping
Board, and delivered to them a

THE RISE OF LABOR PARTIES
Worlds Work.

(WOrld's Work.
The organization of voters OF
the laboring classes into definite
party forces has become an estab-
lished fact in most European
countries. In Great Britain the
Labor party is the most numerous
of all, or at least it possesses the
largest voting strength in parlia-
ment. 1t does not WELD an actual
majority, but its leader, Ramsay
Macdonald, is prime minister.
In France the new premier, NJ.
Herriot, is the representative of
similar forces.
In Germany the present chan
cellor, Herr Marx, is likewise the
triumphant tribune of the working
classes.
Clearly the power of the toilers
is extending its political control in
most parts of the world.
Is the LaFollette movement
merely another manifestation of
the same phenomenon in the Unit
ed States? In other words, is 1t
likely to increase its control to
such an extent that the time is not
far distant when the United
States. like Great Britain, will
have three parties?
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-09-12
THROUGH JAPANESE EYES
New York Times.)

In stressing again that Japan
was disturbed by the manner
rather than by the fact of the ex-
clusion Of her people from the
United States, Mr. Yusuke Tsur-
uni has helped to clear up a point
! but little understood in this coun-
try.
The Japanese people, he ex-
planned in his closing lecture at
the Institute Of Politics, had be-
come reconciled to the principle
of exclusion at the time of the
Gentlemen's Agreement.
What they resented was the
abrOgation of that agreement and
the substitution for it Of legisla-
ton which implied that Japan had
not kept the faith. This to them
was a blow at their national hon
or.
1t was the method rather than
the substance which American
friends of Japan also deplored.
They questioned the necessity Of
abrogating the Gentlemen's Agree
ment and denounced such action
as discourteous and unpolitic.
The activities of the Senate, in
particular, seemed to be based on
a desire to avenge a fancied threat
rather than to deal tactfully with
delicate situation. Not even the
unwise use by the Japanese am
bassador of the phrase grave
consequences" warranted III e
brusque and unmannerly action Of
the Senate.
Desirable as it is for the Amer
lean people to understand the Jap
anese point of view, it is essential
for the Japanese to understand the
American point of view.
Rightly or wrongly, immigration
was the question-in fact, the sole
question-in American eyes. Dis
regarding the criticism of those
fanatics who claimed that Japan
had not lived up to her part of the
Gentlemen's Agreement, the un-
DERIVING motive of the overwhelm-
ing majority of the members of
Congress who supported the immi-
grafton restriction bill was to
handle the entire problem as a
domestic issue, and, in the case
of the Asiatics, to embody in
permanent form the restrictions
which in the past had been con-
tanned in treaties and agreements.
Rightly or wrongly, the Amer.
lean people were opposed to any
further immigration of non-assim-
liable races. A few of the more
far-seeing felt that by settling the
matter once and for all it would
cease to be a source of friction,
and the unassimilable aliens
would be less exposed to local
jealousies and animosities.
In so far as the Japanese in
particular were concerned. these
observers felt that the history of
Chinese exclusion pointed the way.
So long as the Chinese continued
to increase in numbers race pre-
JUDGE grew. Since they have de-
clined race prejudice has declined.
The bitterest opposition to the
japanese in California is in those
regions where they are numerical
ly the strongest. 1t is a safe pre-
diction that when their numbers
fall resentment against them will
gradually disappear.
