THE AT-LAiVJ A UbUKGIAA AND NEWS, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1913. AiodFTowfl California Minister Declares His Country Will Not Stand for Discrimination, “Certainly Japan will fight if nec essary to protect the right* of her subjects, no matter where they are. \nd she will nol stand for unfair discrimination.'' So said the Rev. Joseph K inaza- wa. pastor of the Japanese Presby terian Church of Los Angeles, a com missioner to the General Assembly of fhe Presbyterian Church, U. S. A., In session here. "But" hastily added the Rev. In- azawa. "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 sedn his ative land In a quarter of a century', having cast his lot on the west coast of 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 with 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 his State, working in many ‘ of-the principal cities and the rural districts. One of the 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 tip their residence in California. His church has granted him leave of absence to visit the home land. i Wife Raps Alien Bill. Mrs. Inazawa. who is a woman of \ ery strong conviction, thoroughly sympathetic 1n all her husband’s ac tivities, was even more pronounced in her view that the Japanese were being wrongly treated in the matter '• of the anti-alien lane hill. Mrs. Inazawa said: It Just so happens that the Leg islaturc 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 ills followers, the advocates y»f the bill. “It is not so much the actual text of the law," she continued, “as It is the spirit that is behind it There is* an indisputable feeling that Japan is being unfairly treated, and you can rest assured that Japan will not al . low her subjects to be discriminated • against. But out hope lies in tlv* fact that there is such a strong feel ing against the hill. The Japanese are a hyersensl live people, you know; their hono is supreme. There is all the differ ence »n the world between the Japa nese t-nd the Chinese.” Both the Los Angeles preacher and hip wife made It very clear that the Japanese could not be kicked around • p had been the case with the China man And as for a “yellow peril," they hooted the Idea. Mr. Inazawa was naked what prog ress the Japanese military compa nies in California were making in their daily drills and maneuvers. Japs Have No Militia. 'if there is a company of Japs or gahized and drilling in military ma neuvers in the whole tBate of Cali fornia, I do not know it And I dm certain if there were any such. - 1 would know. Theie has never been a greater injustice done my people than the circulated reports that they were organized already to fight the L'nlted States “We look on the matter in this light: The California anti-alien land bill Is In direct violation of th<=* treaty this country- lias with Japan, and even if the State does make it a ' law, 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 rights of her subjects are trampled. “But then/’ continue^ Mr. Inaza wa, “America and Japan are bound by a greater tie than politics—Chris tianity. Mr country, by leaps and bounds, has adopted the Christian re- 'iglon and she has adopted American c ivilization to such an extent that I do-not believe they w ill ever clash. "Obr differences will be settled on •he broad principles of Christianity." Race Riots Follow Attack in Oklahoma His One Hobby Is Walking "I like to walk sonic m\»elf." said well-known business man yester day, “but I know a man who lives »ut in Kirkwood that has a mania for it. It’s his fine hobby, and he rides- or rather walks it to death; lhat 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 ha arises early and before breakfast he does a long walk. Just how long I have no means of knowing, but I have it from some >f his neighbors that he walks a good many mileH before breaking his fast. Then, every afternoon when lie gets iff from work, 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 I 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 ame acquainted in this fashion and got to talking about • the benefits of walking. F saw at once that lie was •rank on the subject, arid at part ing he Asked If f wouldn’t join him next Sunday in a littl«» stroll. " Where shall we go?’ f asked "‘t)h, 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 me, so I pleaded a previous engagement." FIGHT LOST. SITS MRS.

In thla letter she admits for | the first lime thal she has lost her tight and Is ready to quit. The letter follows: I have been granted a hearing by the Committee on Postoltlcea and Postroads In the Capitol committee room at 10:30 o'clock, May l«. I respectfully beg you to be present on that occasion, which will give you the opportunity to hear the other side of the Gaines ville. Ga., poatoffice rase. You have broken away from ancient usage and exemplified a new freedom of conduct by ap pearing before Congress to deliver vour message and by making fre quent visits to the President s room at the Capitol for confer ences on public measures. 1 trust that vour high sense of public duty will permit you to establish a new and wholesome precedent by attending a committee which will acquaint-you with the merits of a tight which the spoilsmen of your party have made against one of vour Southern countrywomen, and the attacks on her rerord In the service.

My desire for you to attend the committee meeting is inspired by faith in the man who wrote th* “New Freedom;" faith in the ..courage and high-minded quali ties which 1 believe will impel him to make a statement to the American people, regard ing a. die placement by which many of bis countrymen believe that America has been discredited. $5,000 Alimony Goes tow n and har k again I T _ T , , - - ^.

Just n* all good grandmothers do. £o "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 nickel? So to grandpa’s office sped the youngster "T happened to be in town, grand pa," said “Biffi,” “and I thought T’d come In and pay you a visit. Mama gave me h nickel and 1 went to the picture show.

Of course, it Is a long way home, hut I don’t mind—r—” There's no telling how long this would have continued, but grandpa, who Is wise for his years, smiled a knowing smile and gave “Bud'' h quarter That was the smallest colli 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.
