California Minister Declares His
Country Will Not Stand for
Discrimination,
'Certainly Japan will light If nec
essary to protect the rights of her
siXbject.8. no matter where they are.
And stye will not stand for unfair
discrimination .”
So said the Rev Joseph^ Inaza-
wa. pastor of the Japanese Presby-
’ erlan Church of Los Angeles, a com*
' mlssioner to the General Assembly
of^ the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A ,
in session here.
' But” hastily added the Rev, In
aztwa, “I do not believe there will
ever be the necessity for appeal to
arms. This great American nation
and the nation of Japan are too
closely allied on the broad principles
of Christianity to permit a cruel
and disastrous war over a question
that might so easily be settled by
agreement or arbitration.
The Rev. Mr. Inazawa, with his
wife, a native Californian, will sail
in a feu weeks for Japan for a va-
cation of several months. He has not
#en his atlve land In a quarter of
a century, having cast his lot on
the west coast «»f America exactly 26
years ago.
It’s 26 on this side of the Pacific
and 26 on the other,” he expressed
it Friday morning in conversation
witty a Georgian reporter. Five years
of his life in America were spent In
the San Francisco Theological Sem
inary Twenty years he has spent
in evangelistic work among the Jap
anese of tyls State, working in many
of the principal cities and the rural
districts
One of ttye indorsers of the Rev.
Mr Inazawa, commending his work
and bespeaking the kindly considera
tion of Christians everywhere, Is the
Rev. Hugh K. Walker, formerly pas
tor of Immanuel Presbyterian Church
of Los Angeles, now of Atlanta. In
fact, he bears the reputation of hav
ing done a great work among the
Japanese who have taken up their
' residence in California. His church
has granted him leave of absence to
visit the home land.
Wife Rapa Alien Bill.
Mrs. Inazawa. who Is a woman of
* \£i - v strong conviction, thoroughly
sympathetic 1n all her husband’s ac
tivities. was even more pronounced
in her view that the Japanese wera
being wrongly treated In ihe matter
of the anti-alien land bill
Mrs. Tnazawa said:
“It Just so happens that the Leg
tstature this year is strongly in fa
vor of that kind of attitude But you
• would be surprised to know the
strength of the sentiment against
Governor Johnson and his followers,
the advocates of the bill.
"It is not so much the actual text
of the law." she continued, “as It
• 1s the spirit that Is behind It There
is an Indisputable feeling that Japan
is being unfairly treated, and you can
* re»t assured that Japan will not ul-
’ low her subjects to he discriminated
against. Hut our hope lies in the
fact tha< ihere is such a strong feel
ing against the bill.
'The Japanese are a hyersensl-
tive peuple. votT know; their honor
■ • is supreme. There is all the dlffer-
" *=>nce tn the world between the Japa
nese and the Chinese."
Both the Los Angeles preacher ami
. t is wife made It very clear that the
Japanese could not be kicked around
as had been the case with the China
man And as for a "yellow peril,"
> thfy hooted the Idea.
Mr. Inazawa was asked what prog
ress the Japanese military compa
nies in California ware making In
their daily drills and maneuvers.
Japs Have No Militia.
"If there is a company of Japs or
ganlzed and drilling in military ma
neuvers in the whole tSate of Cali
fornia, T do not know It And
am certain if there were any such.
1 would know. There has never beet
q greater injustice done my people
than the circulated reports that they
were organized already to tight th
United States
"We look on the matter in this
fight: The California anti-alien land
bill is in direct violation of th“ treaty
this country has with Japan, and
even if the State does make it a
lav, we believe the United States
Supreme Court will rule it unconsti
tutional I do not fear any war. But
most certainly Japan will fight if the
lghts of her subjects are trampled.
^’But then," continued Mr. Inaza
wa. "America and Japan are bound
by a greater tie than politics—Chris
tianity. Mv country, by leaps and
bounds, has adopted the Christian re
ligion and she has adopted American
civilization to .such an extent that I
do not believe'they will ever clash.
"Our differences will be settled on
he broad principles of Christianity.”

His Ore Hobby
Is Walking.
I like to walk some myself, said
a well-known business man yester
day. "but I know a roan who lives
out in Kirkwood that has a mania
for it. It's his one hobby, and he
rides—-or rather walks It to death-;
that is. Judged from my angle, of
course. Walking with him is a pleas
ure. But if I did as much of it as
he does It certainly would not remain
a pleasure long.
"Winter and summer he arises early
and before breakfast he does a long
walk, just how long I have no means
of knowing, but 1 have it from some
of his neighbors that he walks a good
many miles before breaking his fast.
Then, every afternoon when he gets
off from w'ork. he does another long ^
walk. I wouldn't be surprised if he
didn’t walk home every day, and. be
lieve me, that is some walk from At
lanta to Kirkwood, especially after a
hard day’s work
"This fellow has a desk job. Dur
ing his working hours he Is tied down
to one office and he finds it necessary
to walk a good deal to keep in good
physical condition. One Sunday aft
ernoon T met him out near Peachtree
Creek and we fell into conversation
I had seen him on the street often,
but did not know his name. We be
came acquainted in this fashion and
got to talking about the benefits of
walking. I saw at once that lie was
a crank on the subject, and at part
ing he asked if I wouldn't join him
next Sunday in a little stroll
‘ Where shall we go?' I asked
“‘Oh, say as far as Norcross and
back.’ said he.
"Norcross Is twenty miles from At
lanta Forty miles in one day did
not look good to tne, so I pleaded a
previous engagement,"
Financing a Trip
To Town and Back.
"Bud" Is the nickname of a small
boy who lives in'West End He is
passionately fond of the "movies” and
baseball.
He learned yesterday that motion
pictures of the school day exercises
at Ponce DeLeon would be displayed
at one of the picture shows down
town. "Bud” had taken part in these
same exercises and he wanted to see
how they looked on a screen.
His finances, however, were not In
flourishing condition, so he went
to his mother to wheedle her out of
arfare and the price of a ticket.
Mother had only flve cents, hut she j
surrendered It on "Bud’s" explana- i
tlon that he didn't mind walking to |

ident to Hear Her State Casr
Before Committee,
WASHINGTON. May 6. Asking
that, he attend in person and hear h r
state her case to-morrow to th*- Sen
ate Committee on Postoffices and
Postroads. Mrs. Helen D, Long*tr«et,
who has failed of renomination as |
postmaster at Gainesville, Ga.., has
addressed an open letter to President
Wilson. In this letter she admits for
the first time that she has lost her
fight and Is ready to quit. The letter
follows:
I have been granted a hearing
by the Committee on Postoffices
and Postroads in the Capitol
committee room at 10:30 o clock,
May 16 1 respectfully beg you to
he present on that occasion, which
will give you the opportunity to
hear the other side of the Gaines
ville, (la., potitofflee case.
You have broken away from
ancient usage and exemplified a
new freedom of conduct by ap
pearing before Congress to deliver
your message and by making fre
quent visits to the Presidents
room at the Capitol for confer-
pni-p# nn public measures. 1 trust
that your high sense of public
duty will permit you to establish
H new and wholesome precedent
bv attending a committee which
will acquaint you with the merit"
of a tight which the spoilsmen of
your party have made against one
of your Southern countrywomen,
and the attacks on her record In
the service.
This request should not he mts
understood. There Is no doubt in
my mind and no desire lodged in
my heart to continue in the
Gainesville postodice. 1 made the
fight and lost. I am not reopen
ing that fight. Tour administra
tion has written “Finis” over the
work to which I was briefly call
ed in the mountains of the State
on whose bosom I was cradled. 1
am now considering work on The
New Tork Press and an offer
Which has been made me by a
veteran of the Union army, either
of which would give me an in-
come larger than 1 was receiving
'in the Gainesville postofflee, and
at the same time my sphere of
usefulness would be widened.
My desire for you ro attend the
committee meeting is inspired by
faith in the man who'wrote the
New Freedom;" faith 1h the
courage and high-minded Quali
ties which I believe will Impel
him to make a statement to the
•American people-regarding a dis
placement by which many Of hi?
countrymen beiieve, that America
has been discredited.

him Why not see if grandma had
dime? it wap hot and he didn’t care
much about walking, anyway. But
grandma, who lives Just around the
• >rner, had only a nickel, which she
gladly surrendered, because she^ Ip a
soft-hearted soul and lets her grand
hildren run over her. Just as all good
grandmothers do.
So ’’Bud" rode to town, viewed the
pictures and enjoyed himself hugely.
Then he thought of that long walk
home It didn’t look good from any
angle Another happy thought struck
"Bud." Why not see if grandpa had a
niekel? So to grandpa’s office sped
the youngster.
"T happened to be in town, grand
pa,” said “Bud,” 'and 1 thought Vd
come in nnd pay you a visit. Mama
give me u niekel and l went to the
picture show. Grandma gave me an
other niekel and that’s the way 1 got
to town. I’m going to walk home.
You know. 1 like-to walk. It Is so
healthy. 1 don’t mind walking In
the least. Of course, 1t is ji long way
home, but 1 don’t mind——”
There’s no telling how long this
would have continued, but grandpa,
who is write for his years, smiled a
knowing smile and gave “Bud" a
quarter. That was the smallest coin
he had. And "Bud.” of course,, didn’t
have to walk home.
"As a financier," said grandpa to
one of the clerks in the office, "J.
Plerpont Morgan had nothing on that
boy 1 have never yet known him to
fall to ‘raise the wind’ when he want
ed it.”

It is one thing to make soda
crackers that are occasionally
good.
It is quite another thing to
make them so that they are
always better than all other
soda crackers, always of un
varying goodness.
The name “Uneeda”— stamped on
every biscuit—means that if a million
packages of Uneeda Biscuit were
placed before you, you could choose
any one of them, confident that every
soda cracker in that package would
be as good as the best Uneeda Biscuit
ever baked. Five cents.
