have been eminently successful. By

and this feature of preparation may 'be

night; that as a matter of fact their
Admiration of the Japaneae has stead
ily grown; that they have a pride in
Japan's success, something akin to the
pride of a sponsor; that they love the
Japanese, and invite and welcome them
into the schools and everywhere else,
everywhere, all Over the country, these
truths count for naught. The impres
sion havfen produced In Kurope that
there are causes ' that would warrant
Japanese reprisals. It Is not surpris
ing, therefore, when we remember tnat
Japan is ready and America Is not;
that the school Incidents In San Fran-clsi-o
are seised by Japan to create a
crisis and force the American govern
ment into war.
When our government learned about
the inflammatory propaganda in Japan
find the pro-Japanese propaganda of
flistortion in Europe, it took immediate
occasion, to correct the mistakes, and
sent a most courteous cablegram to
the jHpanese government to the effect
that the attitude of love that our peo
ple have alwaya held toward the Jap
BneH ha- in no wise changed; that
we were upholding and would scru
pulously uphold all our treaty obliga
tions, and would protect the rights of
Japanesd in America; that the friction
In Man Francisco was purely local,
growing largely out of abnormal labor
conditions, and that the best offices of
the government would be used to have
cvfn these local matters adjusted, but.
of course, as in all other International
Incidents arising within Individual
staten, ..iat the regular course required
hv our Inst.tutlons would have to be
followed, requiring local and etate ad
justment before action could be taken
hy the general government. A more
courteous, conciliator' assurance could
not have been conceived.

O colors affect you? 'Are you con
scious that certain .shades of
color give you pleasurable and
happy -sensations, and others irri
tate you, and others Incline you
to despondency? '
If so, do not consider it an evidence
of incipient Insanity or blame yourself
for being "queer."
Color plays a larger part in the every
day world than most of us suspect.
Here Is what a noted physician, a
graduate of the "old school," although
he has gone forward Into more progree
slve Ideas, told me.
We were talking of the marvelous re
sults which have been obtained by medi
cal science from the employment or vto-
( IHIBlim IIDIU IIIC VlllIIV7 ,,,-, 1. VI ..V-
let and X-rays in curing supposedly In-
curable diseases
The physician showed me two plaster
casts he had removed from the legs of
a small boy, who had worn them for
years, and who was pronounced In
curable by the leading specialists in
such maladies; yet, after some months
of treatment Mnder the violet and
X-ravs. the plaster casts were removed,
and the little boy Is roiling his hoop In
the street, well snd hsppy.
"We are discovering new wonders
dally," the doctor said. "In many hos

is welcome result.
Mint an 'In violet:- there are Chemical
properties which aid in the cure of other
maladies - ,
"Color is now a recognised factor In
the progreeslve medical world. And we
are only in the morning of our dis
coveries. The world will be astonished
in 10 yearsrtime at the revolution which
will take place In the science of medi
cal thrernpeutlcs. Drugs are fast be
coming obeelete; the knife will be less
popular, and only m extreme cases, and
In accidents will It eventually be used
by reputable surgeons. Light haa come
to take the place of old, ignorant meth
ods." v. - :
Then' the "physician took me Into a
private room, where sat a young man
of 21 years, for three months a patient
of the light cure. The mother, of the
vouth was present, and told me of the
remarkable effect violet and X-ray treat
ment had produced on her son.
"For six years my boy had been
growing steadily worse with Inflamma
tory rheumatism, sne nun. ror mm

out excruciating pain. jne .uesi epw-
clallsts In Greater New York assured
me he would never leave his bed sava
for hls-tomb; yet. In three months time
he is able to walk on crutches, and to
sit up four hours a day."

Ing this text naturally began to ques-
tion the motive behind Japan's per
emptory attitude in face of such a
conciliatory attitude by our govern
ment. This checkmated the Japanese
for the time. The president then di
rected the school question to be laid
before the United States court In Call

and handed up to the court. The court
considered them and prepared Its de
cision. It was evident to those who

Incident even after the tuinlls had been
put bnck In the schools.
Some time afer thia action a general
meeting of the chamber of enrnmerce
of the principal cities of Japan was
called a'nd the united chombers of com-
merce adopted resolutions condemning
treatment of Japanese children irr Amer-
lea that refusid them educational ad-
vantages, and calling upon the chambers
of commerce of America to jjse their
aood offices in seeurtnr Justlee to these
-niaren and avert the grave conse
quences that might otherwise arise.
Simply Foolish.
The resolutions were simply ridicu
lous -J Americans who knew that at the
moment they were adopted nrt only all
..-a other schools In America, but a!so
the scnools of Han Francisco them-
selves, ure open to Japanese pupils on
absolutely the same basis as American
rope and in Jsoan was to nullify the
effect produced bv the previous an
nouncement of 'the restoration of the
pupils to the schools of Sail V'ranclsco,
and to leave the permanent Impression
.it injustice to Japanese children la
the regular practice In America.
Similar action was taken to make
permanent the impression In the world
that America Is unduly stringent In
trie question of Japanese Immigration,
and semi-official announcement! were
made of changes Japan would demand
when tne reuewKof the misting treaty
with America came up.
The time for this renewal was years
off ano America could not understand
why the question was advanced by the
Japanese government when it posed
before the world as being so solicitous
ot "preserving the friendly relations
that have always existed between the
two countries. '
This semi-official announcement was
so couched as to be a defiance of the
known oetermination of the people of
the Pacific elope to have some aub
stantlal restriction placed upon Jap
anese immigration, which was fast be
coming a mengce to their Industrial
equilibrium and the purpose was not
only to produce the impression in
Japan and in Kurope that we were
maltreating the Japanese and treating
tnem with indignities incompatible
with their self-respect SS a
civilised
nation, but also to precipitate exclu
sion legislation In America that would
play into Japan s hands as she sought
her pretext of war.
This aensttlveness on the subject of
exclusion In America seems ridiculous
when we remember that the "Indigni
ties' of reatrictlon are drastically en
forced in Australia and other British
colonies. But the world does not
know this. It hss never been pro
claimed from the Japanese house top.
Bo the semi-official announcement
nad this desired effect upon the world
and upon the people of Japan.
This fact, however, was soon sub
jected to the jolt that came with the
outbreak In Vancouver. The British
snd Japanese press were quick to at
tribute thia outbreak to the "Influence
and Instigation of Americans." but It
Decomes generally anown.
the efforts at eoncealmen-t
in spite of
that thou-
sands of the best citizens of the city
and a number of British soldiers, whu
could not possibly have been "Insti

and that the whole Japanese quarter
was wrecked and a Japanese subject
killed, compared ito which all the Inci
dents In San Francisco were as naught.
In addition the whole structure of Japanese-English
.plans was rudely shaken
when the mayor of the city proclaimed
emphatically that the city would pot
pay a dollar for damages, and the mem
bers of the Dominion parliament from
British Columbia publicly announced
that the people of his province , would
forcibly resist anv attempt on the part
of the crown to force Japaneae immi
