JAPANESE OUTBREAKS MENACE AMERICANS The mad passions of the hour among certain elements in Japan will pass. The anti-American demonstrations in Tokyo and elsewhere, on account of exclusion legislation at Washington, are not to be assumed as indicative of the attitude of the government or the responsible elements of Japan. Admitting that there is deep and sincere hurt among all classes in Japan, yet it is hardly conceivable that the more enlightened and responsible of the Japanese, in public and private life, would overstep the bounds of reason and encourage assaults upon Americans and promote a course the inevitable end of which would bring disaster to Japan. The government at Washington soon is to reply to Japan's note of protest against exclusion. The reply, news reports indicate, will be firm but friendly. The United States, having the position that it does, does not desire, and must not have unassimitable elements in its population, will not recede from this stand. It cannot be persuaded out of this self-protectional move, nor can it be forced out of it by covert threats or showing of violence. At the same time, government and people, in this country, should be extremely tactful not unnecessarily to wound the sensibilities of the government and the people of Japan. This Nation is not hostile to Japan or to the Japanese. The exclusion legislation was not intended to be a hostile move against Japan. Other countries have adopted the same policy, and are on friendly terms with Japan. COMMERCE IS HUGE FROM AND TO CALIFORNIA COMMERCE IS HUGE FROM AND TO CALIFORNIA California is the sixth state in the Union in volume of commercial exports. Its record for the first three months of 1924, if maintained throughout the year, would give a grand total of more than $200,000,000 in exports from this state, within the twelve months! This is a tremendous figure. Only five other states exceed California in volume of exports—New York, Texas, Pennsylvania, Illinois and New Jersey. This commerce is growing healthily. California, ten years hence, should be the second state in the Union in volume of commerce. It should push New York closely for first place. This is not exaggerated. It is based on reasonable expectation: Pacific commerce is increasing more than Atlantic, proportionately. California is right in the center of this enormous development.

Do-get-em drama in three acts: my marks; easy money; Easy set. There is no suspense so annoyance waiting for Colonel Harvey pick the winning candidate. And so congressmen can't live $7500 the year. How do they now until they try? Bisque stories are not so dead. They usually go over theads of the older people. The strange part is that it alws is a stray bullet that almost a senator. It any rate the ass that spoke Bible times didn't mention the other. The chief difference between main's foreign policy and ours that she knows what hers is. The navy is inadequate and sons has resigned. Heaven grant another war is not forced on quickly. There is one good thing about broad way that leads to detection. Usually it is a one-way bet. Another thing about modernization is that a girl need not come so old before she has a lot. Folks that tell everything they know wouldn't be so bad if they didn't work in a lot o' stuff they don't know. Bein' public spirited don't count unless we own a home an' pay taxes.

A little warmth, a little light Of love's bestowing—and so, good-night! A little fun, to match the sorrow Of each day's growing—and so, good-morrow! A little trust that whenever die We reap our sowing! And so, good-bye! —George du Maurier. REPLY TO THE ABOVE For shame, dear friend! renounce this canting strain! What wouldst thou have a good great man obtain? Wealth, title, dignity, gilded chain, Or throne of dorses which his sword hath slain? Goodness and greatness are not means, but ends. Hath he not always treasuries, always friends. The good great man? Three treasures—love and light And calm thoughts, equable as infant's breath; And three firm friends, more sure than day and night. Himself, his Maker and the Angel Death. —Coleridge. SUNSHINE PELLETS BY DEW W.

We remember when irate citizens used to curse motorists for scaring their horses? I saw a sign the other day—"Summer Boarders Wanted Here"; A bunch of shoats were in the lot. The shallow well was near. The kitchen swarmed with pesky flies. The windows had not screens; The landlord shared his frugal fare. Of bacon and of greens. Not all who are admitted to the bar practice law; there's the mosquito for instance.

Orange co., per year, $8; 6 months, $1.75 Entered at the Postoffice at Anaheim, Calif., as second class matter WHO'S WHO IN THE DAYS NEWS VISCOUNT TAKAAKI KATO The overthrow of the Kiyoura government in Japan makes Viscount Takaaki, as leader of the Kenseikai party, the most dominating figure in the island empire today. Kato, who in the past was oft-times confused with Admiral Baron Tomasaburo Kato, also a former premier and now dead, has served his country as prime minister four times. In 1900-01, 1906, 1913 and 1914-15. From 1894 to 1899 he served as ambassador to Great Britain. The Kenseikai party, in power, will boast the largest group in the new house of representatives. The Kiyoura party stepped into power following the attempted assassination of Prince Regent Hirohito last January. It was an unpopular regime from the start and early drew the title of "Imperial Wedding Cabinet," the impression being that it was stated to exist only through the celebration of the wedding of the prince regent. DINNER STORIES "Look here, Patsy Shea," said the priest, "if you're a sensible man you'll never let a drop of whiskey pass your lips again. Sure it's your worst enemy." "Array, now, your riverince, and haven't you tould us from the pulpit that we wore to love our enemies?" "Trouse for you, Patsy," was the reply, "but I never told you that you were to swallow them." Comments of the Press What Editors Are Saying AUTO LICENSES SHOW WEALTH—San Francisco Journal The statistical matter compiled by the Class Journal Company and Automotive industries presents instructive information upon the distribution of automobiles through the several states of the Union. The compilation gives the number of automobiles in each state, this figure being based upon the official record of the number of licenses granted, and also the ratio of the number to the population of the state. It reveals the interesting fact that in the eleven states west of Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Texas and the Dakotas the ratio of autos to inhabitants is one to four, but in the remaining thirty-three states and the District of Columbia this ratio is one to eight. This difference does not indicate that Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington and Wyoming own more automobiles than the thirty-three other states. It means that there are fewer dwellers in the west than in the South, the interior and the East. This becomes evident when one notes that California, though having 2,248,861 inhabitants in 1920, had 1,100,233 autos on January 1, 1924, a ratio of one to three; whereas New York, though having a population of 10,335,277 according to the census of 1920, on January 1, 1924, had only 214,359 more autos than California, a ratio of one to nine. The number of autos and the ratios vary noticeably as between the several states. As might be expected, the numbers are revered in the Southern States, and the ratios between them and the populations spread most widely apart in the south. Interior roads less wealth than in other sections and "poor whites" account for the facts. Texas leads with more autos than any other Southern state possesses, having 688,839, but Mississippi has the smallest number, 104,400, while it and Georgia have the smallest ratio, one to seventeen. New York has the most autos, 1,214,642, but Ohio and Pennsylvania and Illinois press it close with 1,068,700 and 1,064,624 and 969,331 autos respectively. Nevada owns the fewest automobiles, 15,700, but Delaware and Wyoming are almost beside the Silver State, for Delaware has 22,997 autos, and Wyoming 39,881. The highest ratio of autos to population is recorded by California, where it stands at one to three, but Iowa comes next with one to four and nine states have ratios of one to five. Though no other state has so few autos as Nevada, the District of Columbia anomalously has 102,171 autos whose ratio to population registers at one to four. Here large figures are "Look here, Patsy Shea," said the priest. "If you're a sensible man you'll never let a drop of whiskey pass your lips again. Sure 'tis your worst enemy." "Array, now, your riverince, and haven't you tould us from the pulpit that we wor to love our enemies?" "Trouse for you, Patsy," was the reply, "but I never told you that you were to swallow them." In a former generation, when elaborate doctrines were deemed more important by Christian clergymen than they are today, they were prone to apply every utterance of the Bible to the demonstration of their own particular tenets. For example, one distinguished minister announced his text and introduced his sermon as follows: "'So, Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he did eat at the King's table, and he was lame on both his feet.' 'My brethren, we are here taught the doctrine of human deprivation.—Mephibosheth was lame. Also the doctrine of total depravity—he was lame on both his feet. Also the doctrine of justification—for he dwelt in Jerusalem. Fourth, the doctrine of adoption—he did eat at the King's table.' Fifth, the doctrine of the perseverance of the saints—for we read that 'he did eat at the King's table continually.' Texas leads with more autos than any other Southern state possesses, having 688,899, but Mississippi has the smallest number, 104,400, while it and Georgia have the smallest ratio, one to seventeen. New York has the most autos, 1,214,642, but Ohio and Pennsylvania and Illinois press it close with 1,068,700 and 1,064,624 and 969,331 autos respectively. Nevada owns the fewest automobiles, 15,700, but Delaware and Wyoming are almost beside the Silver State, for Delaware has 22,997 autos, and Wyoming 39,831. The highest ratio of autos to population is recorded by California, where it stands at one to three, but Iowa comes next with one to four, and nine states have ratios of one to five. Though no other state has so few autos as Nevada, the District of Columbia anomalously has 102,171 autos, whose ratio to population registers at one to four. Here the large figures are owing to there being relatively few dwellers in the district and to the wealthy members of Washington society having an abundance of autos. GLEANINGS FROM THE BOOK OF LIFE "We are holden to men by every sort of tie, by blood; by lust, by pride by fear, by hope, by lucre, by hate, by admiration; by every circumstance and badge and trifle, but we can scarce believe that so much character can subsist in another as to draw us by love. Can another be so blessed, and we so pure, that we can offer him tenderness? When a man becomes dear to me, I have touched the goal of fortune. "I wish that friendship should have feet, as well as eyes and eloquence. It must plant itself on the ground, before it walks over the moon. I wish it to be a little of a citizen before it is quite a cherub. We chide the citizen because he makes love a commodity. It is an exchange of gifts, useful loans; it is good neighborhood; it watches with the sick; it holds the pall at the funeral; and quite loses sight of the delicacies and nobility of the relation."
