TOJUO. April 24.—Full faith in
American Juatica wai expressed here
to-day by Premier Yamamoto on the
returns between Japan and the Unit
ed States over the anti-alien land bill
pending in the California Legisla
ture. He declared the relations must
remain peaceful and deplored the
hasty and ill-advised utterances of
hot-headed "Jingoes."
"I have every confidence," said he,
that American citizens, both official
and unofficial, will demand no dis
crimination against the Japanese
and that all matters can be adjusted
to the satisfaction of both countries
and in a spirit of true Justice. 1
Baron Nobuaki Maklno, Foreign
Minister, said he wag satisfied the
outcome of the diplomatic corre
spondence on the ajriti-Japaneses bill

Californian Says
Alien Law is Not Needed.
WASHINGTON, April 24.—That ail
the precautions may be taken by the
sdmlnistrstion to avoid precipitating
a season of strainod diplomatic re
lations w ith Japan over the alien land
laws in California are "unnecesMary
and inexpedient," is the opinion of
John P. Young, a San Franc la do
editor.
"There is not the slightest danger/'
he says, "that the Japanese will be-
l ome owners of t Jl/.clont. land to be
••oine a menace to the peace and wel- ;
fare of the State. They are not ,
arming in. The white immigration 1
more than offsets them. The pend - !
ing legislation could be postponed I
with benefit to all concerned."

"American music has been handi

One of the evil? of it is that it has
invaded Europe. The frivolous class
there has taken it up with all the silly
fervor which it finds here. You hear

shame is that in a.-me places they

Wilson Answers Criticism of Naming
Georgia Man Director of
Census.
WASHINGTON, April 24.—Criti
cism of what has been termed a
political appointment in naming Wil
liam 0. Harris, a Georgia politician,
as director of the census, prompted
President Wilson to-day to define
his attitude toward appointments to
positions demanding scientific experts
Air. Wilson said his mind was clear
that for all positions which demand
ed scientific training alone no consid
eration should be given to political
preference in making appointments.
He differentiated the directorship*
of the census from this classification.
He declared that so much judgment
as to the development and movement
of the business of the country was
involved in filling this position effi
ciently that something more than
scientific training was demanded u f
the appointee.
