With the California legislature pound ing away oti an anti-alien land owning law that I stirring the Japanese Jingo to talk of armaments and with pa, ma, Rrandpiip and the, children telling Just what they would do in event of war, now or any other old time,. It. behooves n mj to ascertain Just how strong are tho armies and navies of the various countries. ' .Around the family hearth, when all tuples are worn out, and .the war dogs are loused (in discussion), people are wdnt to talk-in large terms about the nations of the world and the relative strength of their land and water forces. And on the streets, at clubs and every where else that humankind congregates for social Intercourse, are found people who In ringing tones of authority tell Just how and why the United States and Knglund can wipe the whiskers off any and all potentates, big and little, black; white, red and brown. ' It Is wonderful how they will twist and contort their "facts' and "figures," and it 1s pitiful how other persons who know or ought to know better, swallow it all In silence. And more is the pity, because there is a very easy way to set tle such arguments and those advancing them. -,- -,-; . , . , ' .', ; - : . ?

' .- ' CHAUFFEUR ON TRIAL,' ' JUDGE WAXES FACETIOUS . , ' - . . George Saylor. a man of many aliases and more bad checks was' given an In determinate sentence- of from two to twenty years in the penitentiary yester day by Circuit Judge McGinn. Saylor confessed to having signed and passed cheeks and is thought to have 'many out unaccounted for, .When he declared he did not want an attorney Judge Mc Ginn asked if be wanted to break into the penitentiary, - Saylor took the sen tence coolly.- "' , . When he told Judge McGinn that he was a chauffeur, the Judge declared that from experience with men of that calling he saw no reason why Saylor should be compelled to issue bad checks, ANKLES WILL BLOOM LIKE RAINBOWS ON LINCOLN HIGH'S "LOUD SOCK" DAY Solomon in alt 1iis ylorjr wes not ar rayed like the boys and girls of the Lincoln High school wnl be Friday aft ernoon. .

' . The aim of each pupil "Is to ', wear something a! bit more' startling : than anybody else, and the result will be more easily imagined than described. There will be flaming red socks, fresh hued pink ones, black ones with white spots and white ones with black spots, some will wear a yellow sock on one "understanding" and the, other will be swathed-in a green and Ted . striped example of what a hose manufacturer has the temerity to turn out. ; A bunch of high school baseball fans Is a pretty noisy crowd, but the noise of the bleacherites will be backed off the board by the "noise" of the varie gated hosiery which will be exhibited Friday afternoon when the first game jot the season .will be pulled off on the Multnomah field.- -v That's, going to- be "some" game and socks well, they will be there.. as most of the chauffeurs lie had met didn't need to hold men up to get money. Saylor admitted , that he had been sentenced to from one to fifteen years . for the same ' offense, when Attorney Lon Parker told the court his past record. Deputy District Attorney Smiley substantiated this rec ord, Saylor was in the hospital for seven months after that sentence with tuberculosis and was paroled. Mr, Parker is a relative of Baylor's bride of a month and declared that Mrs. Saylor feared' her husband and is now In the hospital. Judge McGinn asked Parker if he was appearing as a friend j of the court and declareajhe seemed to have too much interest in the case. The court declared that, the whipping post should be used on a man Ilka Bay lor. .,-,.J...,.,.,..k.w.,w:.... .,.... "I cannot understand why Japan is making such a loud noise over the pro posed California bill to prohibit aliens from .owning lands when they' never kicked against an article In the Wash ington state constitution which does the same thing," said Attorney George Shep herd today as he pointed out tne consti tutional article In question. "Although Washington, as a "territory, had a law directed particularly against Japanese 'and Chinese and at present does not allow them to own lands, so far as I have heard no' protest has bsen lodged -against these laws and inhibi tions, despite the fact that some of them have been In orce for 38 years." added Mr. Shepherd. ;"It may be-these inhibition have es caped attention or It may be. that Japan has a stronger navy, now and therefore can interpret our laws to the better ben efit of her subjects than iiv day gone by. V,;;,.--'. v ,..;.-.- .'J.-:. "In 1875, the territorlariegislature of Washington passed an act which de clared any alien could acauire and con vey land, 'except such as by the laws of the United States are Incapable of be coming cltlsens of the United States. Japanese could not then and ran not now become citizens of this nation. Act Is Abrogated. ' "In 1889 the constitution abrogated this act to the extent-that It prohibited all aliens from holding land. This in hibition is more rigid than like pro visions in other states, as it provides that any deed to an alien shall be void. The supremo court, In . the case of Abrams vs. state, passed upon the ques tlon. The majority of the court held such a 'deed was not void except on action by the state. A dissenting opinion was filed by Justice Dunbar, concurred in by Justice Root, contending that such a deed was vol. However, tne same court denied admission to the bar of Takuja Yamashlta, a Japanese who had been admitted to citizenship by the su perior court of Pierce county. But I never heard of any protest having been made by Japan." ' Article 2, section 33, of the Washing ton constitution, referred to by Mr, Shepherd, reads: Law Is Quoted. ' "The owpershlp of lands by aliens, other than those who In good faith have declared their Intention of becoming citi zens of the United States, is prohibited in this state, except where acquired by inheritance, under mortgage or in good faith In the ordinary course of Justice in the collection of debts; and all convey ances of lands hereafter made to any alien directly, or in trust for such alien, shall be void; provided, that the pro visions of this section shall not apply to lands containing valuable deposits of minerals, metals, Jron, coal or fine clay, and the necessary land for mills and ma chinery to be used In the development thereof and the manufacture of the products therefrom. Every corporation. the majority of the capital stock of which is owned by aliens,- shall be con sidered an alien for the purposes of this prohibition." m m ii E MAKERS BANKRUP T The Master Brewer The finest " ingredients, the purest . water and ' the most careful bottling . makes . . .. . -. . aaj v n ..

FINDS NEW WAY " - TO OBTAIN GOOD RELIABLE EMPLOYES - J. W. Buckley, superintendent of the Mount Hood factory, has worked out a new system of dis covering good operatives for the plant, and it Is working out with such success that he intends to ; use it always hereafter when In need of additional help. Recently the spring rush of ' business necessitated putting on 60 new girls in the overall and shirt departments. He wanted help and wanted it quickly. And he got It simply by ad vertising in the "Help Wanted'' columns of The Journal's "classi fied section. , " 'ln the past," said he today, -4 we aepenaeo on securing our op erators by listing applicants who came to"' the factory on their own accord seeking employment. "Our experience lias shown this to be a poor system. That is why we advertised when we needed half a hundred new glrls recently. The results were won derfully good. Through the ads we were able to pick the best workers and do it quickly. There was nothing haphazard about it."

E CHANGES mm 1 PLAN Term periods are to be retained in form only In the educational department of the Young Men's Christian Associa tion. The educational committee has de cided to put the entire department on a continuous aession basis for both day and night schools. The change will take effect Immediately and hereafter students may enter at any time for any course. The change was made because the Y. M. C. A. has decided to keep both day and night schools In session throughout the summer. Although the classes will be continuous throughout the year, Cer tain term dates will be observed for con venience and in the expectation that the greater number of new students will enter at the beginning of these terms. "One big demand for summer work comes from young men who desire to take civil service examinations in the fall," said R. C. French, educational di rector, today. "We are outlining cer tain courses especially to meet this de mand. There are also numerous appli cations from college men who come to the clfy to work during the summer and wish to make up some stqdy in which they are behind. High school students who have credits to gain before they can enter college also need the courses that we shall offer in Bummer. Then, of course, many of the students in our trade school will continue their work throughout the summer." MUSIC PREDOMINATING ; FEATURE AT LUNCHEON "Music was" the predominating? feature of : the weekly luncheon given at - the Multnomah hotel by the Transportation club yesterday, and the attendance was the largest for a long time! The per formers were women, who wrere guests, They were greeted with applause. The first number was a song by the Monday Musical chorus under the di rection of Mrs. Rose Coursen Reed, It made such an Impression that an encore was demanded. The chorus was part of that which will appear tomorrow even ing in concert at the Lincoln, high school auditorium.

One of the principal proofs of this is that you seldom see a person who drives a car that would be willing to even try to get along without it. Of course, you may see a man who becomes dissatisfied with his car and wants a better one, but that is because he did not choose the right car to start with.
