Eowell eays in 1 be Los Angeles Outlook : " "1 he alien land bill is one thing aud the aoti-Japan eea land hill Is another tbing. Alien land laws, applying to all uations nlike, are a part ot the common pol icy of nations and of ststee. Tbe Fed eral government baa three aepaiate statutes applying, one to tbe District of Colombia, one to the pnblio lands, and one to the Territories. At least eigbt States have alien land laws, Gtre of wbioh are praotically identical with the Federal f tatnte and with the morn conservative of tbe tills intro duced in tbe California legislature. One state, Washington, has a law di rectly discriminatory against those tiliena who oaunot acquire oitizenBbip. Tbe main objection of the Japanese government is to tbe discriminatory tort of till. It is oot tba tight to hold land in California wbiob tbey much tire, tot tbe dignity of buiog treated cs a pur with all natious. Ttis Un,Ld on tie part of tbe Jap im, reinforced ly fttcrag representa tions torn Wfcfibiofton. las ia ail riTkt liifulatores jirttettd tbe jiaj-t a law iietiriniitiatiog agaicrt eittier ikjikttm ct alittai set eltifca to cslinhiif fcip, arid its ead tbe Jet islttsr Jo rtvirt frr a time to tbe picrcol tf Jaw spi.lyicg to all aliens alike, atlct Ibe acalcgy of tbe laws of otbel states. Even these laws would discriminate io effect, tot not in form, agaiost Japanese, Inasmnob as any alien of Eorcpean race can, by removing bis alienage, thereby remove bis disability, while tbe alienage of Japanese and Chinese is by Federal statute permanent. In every legisla ture, as soon as tbe pendolnm begins to awing towards a geueral alien land bill, the interests representing British capital invested in California have keen able to prevent tbe prtaBge of snob a bill also. Tbe two sorts of aliea laud laws bave tbns neutralized eaob other, and eaob one has made the other impossible. . . It may te asserted unconditionally that tbe meuQoe of Japanese laud ownership in California is not a present fact, bnt ia a fear of the future. We bave just next door, iu Hawaii, au objeot lessou of what general Japanese settlement in California would mean aud probatly tbe people in California, with tbe single exception of tbe large land owners and the auti-union employers, nre unanimous that snob o condition must be prevented iu California at uo matter wbat cost." Those who are Interested io tbe development of induHtrial eduoation are at a loss now and then to deter mine how best the benefits of saol. ed uootioa may be utilized says the Tel egram. During tbe sobool years boys take the manual training aonrse, jast as tbey study mathematics, language, history or any other of tbo common sobool branches. Tbe iudustrinl know ledge tbey ooquire ia valuable, and the impulse of it is toward a life of pro ductive iuduHtry. Ibe poweia that tend toward suooess iu that Ueld are trained, tut to realize that wbiub tbey promise tbey must te put to use. How to bridge the gap between indus trial eduoation and industrial occu pation. Is tbe question Unit puzzles a great many people and is really worth considering. Tbey bave a system io Uermaoy wbioh answers (bat question toaoertaln extent. It 1 known as t K 3 continuation school. It takes the 1 1 y at the age of 1 1 or 1 5 of f oou as i i baa finished bis elementary sindlos, i j J it fits him for a particular trade c r business, Its purpose is to prevent having him ia a blind alley, so fur as tba Industrial part of bin education is concerned. Contemplating tbe eu tirnoeoftbe pupil into this ooLool, r e school authorities pay great at tention to the bent and adaptability ot tbe individual boy, and upon that tbey determine tbe vocational course that be aball puisne atter be fluisbea the aoademioal tranobes. Tbe work towhiob tbe boy is best suited is taught him in the continuation school; and in connection with his education there, tbe authorities see to It that be seoures employment at bis work, iu whloh be is amply competent to per gist when bis sobool court it dually finished. These schools cover tlie en tire lice of industrial callings, and tbe law requires tuat employett if labor in all the various Hues shall give praotioal reoogniUoa to thtir purposes and co-operate with tuera wbo the demand ia made. Tba result is a body of trained aud educated work' men, whether the oooupatioo be (bat cf meohanio, or waiter, or butaber, or Laker, or salesman or what not. The entire sytem baa tbe predominant Herman characteristic thoroughness, AO esobauge observe tbat tbe oiltio world -has been eet to lunlug because SecreUrj W. J. Brjao imediraps joioe in tbe plaoe of boozo at bis re oeut diooer for Ambassador Bryoc Tbe English papers bnve taken the secretary to task and dubbed the affair as "wisby Washington." We tbink tbat Bryau is again .right and we suspect tbat if tbe real truth were known tbe adverse comment could be traoed to tbe brewers and distillers, who claim tbe personal right to diiuk liquors but deny tbat same personal right to another who does not in dulge. If Bryuu did cot see fit to serve liquors it is bia own afiair, as be was tbe host, and if the guests can't skip a meal without steaming up on some "bottled ia bond" tbey can bring tbeir owo bottle or decline tbe hospitality of tbe secretary.

It Is apparent from this anecdote, printed In the New York Suu. that a story, nlthoutrh 2.200 years old, can still lie fresh rind amusing. It Is n personal anecdote of Chiianx Tzu, n brllli.iiit C'liliiesi' wilier and philoso pher of the fourth i-euiury B C. Cliii.'iun Tzu was lislilnt,' In Hie river when lite I VI new of Cli'n sent two tiiuti "Hit lals to ask him to taUi rhiirpe of Die administration of that province. Chtiani; Tzu went on Unhing and, without tttrnliiK his head, said: "I have lii'tfl ih.it In Ch'u there is a sacred lortiH Unit lias heen dead some 11.000 years and I tin I tin prince keeps this tortoise carefully Inclosed in a chest on (he altar of his ancestral temple.

Studebaker wagons are made to back up a reputation " , "I know, because wagons of every make come into my shop for repairs, and I have a chance to see how few are Studebakers." That's the opinion of thousands of blacksmiths who know the quality of Studebaker wagons. The owners never regretted that they bought Studebakers. Tested materials, accurate workmanship insure a wagon unequaled for durability, and this careful selec tion of wood, iron, steel, paint and varnish has been a fixed rule with the Studebaker Company for sixty years. That is why a Studebaker wagon runs easiest and lasts longest. It is built on honor. Whether you live in town or country, there is a Studebaker vehicle to fill your requirements for business or pleasure and harness of every description made as carefully as are Studebaker vehicles.
