Many Applicants Want
To Fire for Uncle Sam
Thirty-fve Men Trying for Job at the
New Postoff1ce.

Many applicants have placed their
name on the lists. and filled out ex-
animation blanks for appointments of
position of fireman in the new post
office. No less than IS men have re
ceived these blanks and filled them
out, according to Mr.. Roy Crouch, of
the Dawson postofice. 1t was con-
sidered that large number had desir-
ed positions in the office when 10 took
the carrier-clerk examination, but it
would seem that the job of fireman is
more to be desired.

LONG STATEMENT
BY BARON MATSU|
Gravity of Situation Is
Stressed by the Jap
Foreign Minister.

Tokyo.-The gravity of the situation
arising out of the decision of the
United States house of representatives
in regard to the exclusion of japanese
immigrants is clearly reflected in
long statement issued by Baron Mat
sui, the foreign minister, to American
journalists.
Source of Grave Anxiety.
Matsui states, in effect, that the ex-
clusion proposal coming after pro-
tracted efforts to develop friendship
with the United States, is source of
grave anxiety, and it seems to US we
are appealing against an action that
can only wound US and can bring little
satisfaction to you" and 1--WE desire
provision by the United States for
the operation of the gentlemen's agree
ment."
The foreign minister urged that 1t
was of practical and mutual benefit to
keep the two nations in friendly ac-
cord rather than by an agreement
based only on mutual interest. He
laid stress on the need of maintaining
stability and security.
The United States, he said, is in a
position either to take arbitrary ac
ton or to behave with fine magnanim-
ity, setting an example to other ma
tons or inducing their resentment. He
declared that the United States is re-
garded highly as great Christian ma
ton, and he quoted as examples of
American action the disarmament pro-
posals and post-earthquake relief.
To Undo Friendship Spirit.
Matsui concludes by saying: IF now
we get from you an experience of
different character 1t will undo some
of that spirit of friendship and esteem
in which we have long been happy to
regard you. With a nation of the
character of yours, regard for others
is, we believe, consideration of no
mean Importance"

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE
HITS SENATE PROBES

Washington = President Coolidge
called for a change in the methods of
the senate Investigating spree when he
sent the upper house terse message,
asserting in emphatic terms that it
was time for the senate to return to
a government under and in accord
ance with the usual form of the law
Of the land"
The President, forwarding a COM
plant from Secretary Mellon of ac-
tions of the senate committee inquir-
ing into the internal revenue bureau,
declared that the estate Of the Union"
demands that the senate remain with
in it's constitutional rights in conduct
ing inquiries.
In his letter to the President Sec
rotary Mellon attacked the senate in
vestigation of the bureau of internal
revenue and declared that the inquiry
had degenerated into morale
breaker" The secretary pointed out
that the engagement of Francis J.
Heney as counsel, at the personal ex-
pense of Senator CouZens, is evidence
that the aim of the investigation now
is persecution.
A continuation Of the senate's in
reference, Mr.. Mellon said, would
bring things to a point where neither
he nor any other man of character
could take the responsibility of the
treasury.
The message evoked a storm of
Democratic protest. Senator Walsh
of Montana, prosecutor for the Teapot
Dome oil investigation, declared the
message was "rebuke" to all senate
investigating committees.

PRESIDENT TALKS
TO 1000 WOMEN

Washington. President Coolidge
talked law and law enforcement to
thousand delegates to the Woman's
National Conference for Law Enforce
ment. The President was presented
to the gathering by Mrs. Herbert Hoo
yer. He did not platitudinize the
women in the way that used to be
accounted necessary. He began in
tone and with a word so intensely
characteristic of him; for the tone
was hard and definite, but delibera-
tive, and the words were these:
'You are an association, am told,
gathered together for the better en-
forcement of the law"
Then he forged ahead in his little
impromptu on law, saying:
''Now just what is it that we mean
by the law?"
That question, too, was altogether
characteristic of his mind and method.
you will see that the law is rule
of action. That is why enforcement
is sometimes so difficult"
Then fundamental after fundamen-
tal-thus:
ut is very easy to enact legislation.
We have state legislatures, and the
national congress, that each year put
upon the statue books thousands upon
thousands Of enactments to regulate
and control our conduct. But 1t is of
no avail unless behind it there is
sentiment that will enforce I some
times wish people would put a little
more emphasis upon observance of the
law and little less upon its enforce
ment. 1t is a maxim of our institu-
lions that the government does not
make the people, but the people make
the government"
