OLD JAPANESE LAND
 LEASES HELD VALID

SEATTLE, Wash, Jan. 3.-(AP).-- Superior Judge Austin E. Griffiths ruled yesterday that state anti alien law does not apply to leases made prior to it's enactment in 1921.
 The decision affected between 800 and 900 alien land leases made prior to the passage of the measure.
 Judge Griffiths' decision was in conflict with one made in June by Superior Judge Everett Smith who held that the law was retroactive. JudgeSmith authorized the state to confiscate 260 acres of land near Du- wall held by M. Motomatsu. The Motomatsu lease was made in the spring of 1921 before the enactmen' of the anti-alien law. Judge Grif- fiths ruled that Cecil Natsuhara and o. Makkawa were entitled to their lease of six acres in the White river valley as it was made in 1916.

England: 1t may hold good for old England, where the poet lived. but it is expecting too much In a hurry to apply every line to "this tier of states"
 There Is no month In the year as unreliable as the one rearing its head at us tomorrow. Nearly any thing in the. gamut of weather is possible. from rough treatment to q semblance Of Maytime. Its reputa- tion, however, from the time of the Romans to the present. tends to arouse misgivings In the human breast, The s1-day trip through the threatening fog and bluster usually is rough passage.
 The Romans let the world. know what they thought of the month by giving it it's name. They made Mars the godfather of the month-and Mars was their god of war. They knew what to expect in March a taste of war with the elements.

HAT PINS. CORSETS AND
 SOFT COLLARS

The legislature in Massachusetts has in mind q plan to repeal a law under which q woman ,who wears q hat pin in q street car, with point protruding more than two inches into space" can be arrested and fined S10o, The reason for the sl1ceestcd repeal is that women no longer wear hat pins, bobbcd halr and poke bonnets having sounded the death knell of the hat pin in- dustry.
 It would be just the luci, of the Massachusetts legislature to repeal the law and then have hat pins come back into style.
 The hat pin industry ism the only one that has been badly dam- aged by changing styles in womens wear There's the corset industry, for instance. What industry has felt inc trend of the times more keen- Iv - except it be the hat pin busi- ness?

| GIRL. \ MARRIED MAN,
 AND \ TRAGEDY

The 1S-year-old girl in New Haven-olympia Macri by name who shot and killed her lover after the latter had deceived her, leads to tho question; What to do about 1t?
 Oh yes, there is the statute, The murder evidently premeditated, judging by statements credited to the girl by police and reporters, But she is a girl, the mother Of child. No once can suimise with certainty what the jury will think.
 One may term such tragedy sordid; probably it is, yet it has it's moral for others. Here was a girl who became the victim of married man. Whether she was to blame for ever becoming intimate with such a person it is perhaps unnecessary to discuss. But minimizing as the girl in the case might have been, there was no excuse for the married man. He was not in position to rectify his wrong: the unfortunate damsel only wished financial support, which ap- parently was denied. Then the tragedy in front of a crowded thea ter lobby,
 Verify q setting for Balzac or a duMaupassant; yet nearly banal in its frequency in the annals of the human race.

Yet here We have this story of a shattered life in our own state-the disillusioned girl of IS, the foolish head of a family; the pleadings, the waving aside of a broken toy; the pistol; and now the ponderous chatter of the law, public scrutiny and q puzzled jury.
 We said there was moral to this story. But we need not stress it The moral is evident to all.

 All sorts of things can get the matter with you and sometimes do. the chief consolation being they genrelly happen one at a time. For instants a boil is bad enuff and a splinter is bad enuff, but if you had them both at the same time at dlt- ferent ends it would be terrible.
 One thing that happens to most fellows is meezIes, being spots com ing out as if little red flowers was growing all over you, sounding more bewtiful than it looks.

EBERT'S ACHIEVEMENTS IN THE NEW GOVERNMENT

There may be room for doubt as to some of the details of President Ebert's administration as the first president of the German republic, but there is no reasonable doubt that as head of the German state he was a great improvement over the kaiser.
 The trappings of royalty and the absolutist tendencies of monarchy were obliterated with the downfall of the German armies; the world re- joieed that democracy attained the victory in the former stronghold of kaiserism. Upon the shoulders of Friedrich Ebert developed responsi- bility of heading the first republican form of government Prussia ever had, and despite the incessant mach nations and plottings of rem nant of monarchists and the tory political party they formed, Herr Ebert created order out of chaos and guided the ship of state over one crisis after another with the skill of an expert political nayiga- tor.
 Although the penalties of defeat were heavy, imitation of the currency caused great hardships and the exactions of the war yictors requir- ed poise and diplomatic effort of high order, the most serious do- nestle problems that confronted the new republic was the strength or the radical element, which was bent upon turning the land into another soviet. It is no secret that the sym pathy of large portions of pubic opinion in former enemy countries and most of their officials, especial Iy in England, ~t@- favorable to Ebert's efforts 10 prevent such dis aster, It is, to the undying credit ol the Ebert government that such ! social upsef which would ha>p had serious conscqueYces in tho re- maindcr of Europe, was effectively prevented.
 In spite of serious internal op position, threats, plots and politlco turmoil generally, Ebert brough about & signature of the pcac treaty. How wolehc performed tn desperate tasks that confronted hin was shown by the action of coa)i tion of parties in 1922 rcqu"stin him to romain in office until June 0 this year, circumEcnting the holshe vists who had hoped for an ovcrtur In the elections,
 When the president referred | the palaces of the former kaiser a "museums of a dead epoch he i! dicated how completely he rogarde the victory of democracy over h old order of autocracy. He will 2 down in history as man who m the crises of the new governmeI successfully and SO far as he ps sonally was concerned, earned Il respect and confidence of other n' tions. His main achievement VI that he gavo Germany a better sta as Q republic than almost any oth' individual in the country could ha'
