JAPAN AND THK JIXGOS
The strained relations existing
between the United States and Jap
an, says an editorial in tbe Tacoma
Tribune, us a result of tbe pending
legislation lu California concerning
alien ownership of land In that
*> ite are furnishing an excuse for
a lot of jicgos liko Congressman
^isson of Mississippi to attract un
deserved attention by clamoring for
The I'nlted States Is not afraid of
var. Neither is it afraid to keep
the poaco. Senator Jim Ham Lew
is declares that the nations of the
earth are In a combination against
t:i* lrnltiM States and anxious to
lend support to Japan In case of
hostilities Be that as It may, the
Tnlted States stands ready to face
any problems offered. The Ameri
cana ha?o never been a warlike peo
ple whenever necessity forced them
to action.
But this country does not want
war. It wants peace. It la willing
to do much for peace, as It Is will
ing to suffer much in war if neces
sary. Therefore In the crisis that
appears to bo upon them It Is "up
to" the American people to keep
tool, >o resist such yellow and flam
1> .uyant agitation as disgraced It in
the sprin; of 1S98. and view the
situation calmly and quietly, remem
bering that it Is not the howling
mob, the shouter, and ranter that
Is dangerous, but the calmly think
ing, firm-mouthed, determined peo
ple who bave well weighed the sit
uation and made up their mind.
Keeping cool Is the best way of
wardlD^ off trouble? and of prepar
iug to meet it when it comes.
CHANGING THE FLAG
ConToasmnu "Red" Hayes of
California has offorod a bill In Con
cress to chango the design of tho
national banner. Ho presents tho
Idea that his design Is moro artis
tic, that the prosont and much lov
ed pattern Is neither ratlstlcnor be
coming. Yet many thousands of
foreigner* ? forolguers mind ? have
pronounced the old flag tho most
artistically beautiful of them all.
This California!) would placo the
stars In a circle surrounding a larg
or five-pointed star with an inner
?d.vi oj anus poa n?9ii|<u ;o pucq
rosent tho original colonies. He con
aiders that moro artistic.
We are sorry to disappoint the
California congressman, but his
bill is scheduled for deserved ob
livion. Every thread of the banner
carries its significance. The stars
and stripes and colors have a mean
ing. Moro than that, it is the old
est in fixed design of all the flags
in the world. Not a nation but has
changed its bannor since tho pres
ent design was reaffirmed by law
in 1818 ? and that reaffirmation wa
but a changing back to tho origi
nal after some dickering simlllar to
that the Callfornlan would do now.
Better leavo tho old flng as it
has been for more than 100 years
as it hns boen during the periods of
its greatest achievements In ponco

* By WILLIAM WILLIAMS. Authority on Immigration ?
l*ST who are the desirable and who the undesirable is not al
? ways easy to determine. On the contrary, it may be very dif*
B ficult.
Just what additional measures may be necessary to exclude
undesirable immigrants now ooming to the United States within the
law it is not for me to say.
But certain undesirables are coming whom the authorities cannot
exclude lawfully. Aliens have no inherent right to enter the coun
try, and it is OUR OWN FAULT IF WE CONTINUE TO AD
MIT THOSE OF INFERIOR TYPE OR WHO ARE NO GAIN
TO THE UNITED STATES.
We should unquestionably be MORE PARTICULAR than wo
are as to whom wo receive and strive for quality rather than quantity.
We require only immigrants of the right sort, those who are phys
ically strong and who possess such moral and other qualities as will
help build up the race and the nation.
WE ARE NOT CALLED UPON TO ENDANGER THE FUTURE OF
OUR COUNTRY OR ITS INSTITUTIONS FOR THE SAKE OF THE
DISTRESSED OF OTHER COUNTRIES. HOWEVER MUCH THEIR CON
DITION MAY AROUSE OUR SYMPATHY.
The time has come when it is necessary to PUT ASIDE" FALSE
SENTIMENTALITY in dealing with the question of immigration
and to give moro consideration to its racial, social and economic as
spects and in determining what additional immigrants wo shall receive
to remember that our FIRST DUTY IS TO OUR OWN COUN
TRY.
