Japan's Bitter Feeling.

A prompt expression of regret by
the japanese foreign minister for the
affront to the American flag in the
embassy at Toxic prevents the de.
velopment Of that specific incident
into a cause of strain between the two
governments. The act appears to
have been that of an individual who
sought to express the bitter feeling of
the japanese people on the score of
the American exclusion act. which
Toxic agitations and demonstrations
were in progress expressive Of this
feeling. 1t is not remarkable that one
of the demonstrants should have
taken this means to manifest the hos
tility which. the enactment of the law
has created.
This feeling on the part of the
Japanese was expected before the &C.
ton was taken. 1t was perhaps that
which caused Ambassador Hanihara
in his first note on the subject to the
State Department to express fear of
grave consequences" if the legisla.
tive course proposed should be pur-
sued. But that phrase, however un-
wise, did not point to a militant men.
ace. 1t undoubtedly was intended to
suggest that exclusion would lead to
the development of a harshly antag
onistic feeling toward the United
States on the part of the people OF
Japan.
Yesterday at the first sessions of the
japanese houses resolutions were
adopted strongly opposing the action
of the United States. The House OF
Peers expressed approval Of the &C.
ton already taken by the govern.
ment, and the lower house asked the
government to adopt all proper meas
ures demanded by the situation. be.

is shown by the placarding Of Toxic
with bulletins enjoining all japanese
to pursue what is virtually, though
not avowedly, boycott against
America and Americans. The govern.
ment at Toxic cannot absolve itself
from responsibility for promoting this
feeling so long as the parliamentary
chambers act as they are now acting
in perpetuation Of the dispute and de-
nunciation of the American course.

Senator La Toilette, 1T is known, is
intent upon acquiring control Of the

Few of the more astute politicians

When the latest presentation
Close to Broadway was revealed.
Many viewed the demonstration
With disfavor ill concealed.
Though in eloquent expression
The performers well were versed,
They were bound to make confession
That they weren't well rehearsed.
Every one had his own story
That he thought proper plot;
Every one had dreams Of glory
For himself in that bright spot.
But confusion and redundance
Soon were working at their worst
There was talent in abundance,
But it wasn't we'll rehearsed.

CONVENTION OBSERVATIONS
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE

CONVENTION HALL, New York,
July New York seems mex
haustibly interested in the con-
vention. notwithstanding that it
is the most blase and jaded of
American cities. Here we are in
the second week of the Demo-
cratic commotion. and the demand for
places in Madison Square Garden and
the space in the newspapers and the
excitement generally are as great as
ever. The hotel people claim the
crowd hasn't disturbed them. They

The inside explanation is that the

the momery of Woodrow Wilson, SO
the Democrats decided to administer
