connection with anti-Japanese legis

tion, "Busted His Big Stick." It says:
"If there is anything like dignity
about the California legislature, it
ought to feel grossly Insulted by
ltoosevelt's latest cracking of the
whip, which was sent to (illicit, 'the
dancing pro-Jap kid. It it Is Japan
that Is offended we 'can tell her we
have provided special schools for her
aliens and that to compel our children
to associate with vicious and diseased
heathen she sends to California Is r.
stinking ' offense against human
health, moralil yand wisdom. When
Itoosyvelt undertakes to browbeat tin
state legislatures and succeeds in mak
ing ridiculous Jacks-in-the-hox oj
governors, a lot of folks are going t
set up the big stick as a bag of wind."
