California Minister Declares His
Country Will Not Stand for
Discrimination,
"Certainly Japan will tight if nec
essary to protect the rights of her
Objects. no matter where ihe> are.
\nd she will not stand for unfair
discrimination."
So said the Rev Joseph K. lnsza-
wa. pastor of the Japanese Presby
terian Church of Los Angeles, a com
missioner to the General Assembly
of the Presbyterian Church, U. S. A .
in session here.
“But” hastily added the Rev. Tn-
azawa, "I do not believe there will
ever be the necessity for appeal to
arms. This greht 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 he settled by
agreement or arbitration.
The Rev. Mr. lnazawa, with his
wife, a native Californian, will sail
in a few weeks for Japan for a va-
ration of several months. Hr has not
seen his ative land In a quarter of
a century, having cast his lot on
the west coast of America exactly 25
years ago.
‘‘It’s 25 on this side of the Pacific
and 25 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. Tnazawa, commending his work
and bespeaking the kindly considera
tion of Christiana 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 iti California. His church
lias granted him leave of absence t
visit the home land.
Wife Raps Alien Bill.
Mrs. lnazawa, who is a woman c
Aery strong conviction, thoroughly
sympathetic in all her husband’s a
tlvltles, was even more pronounc<
in her view thakthe Japanese were
being wrongly treated In the matter
of the anti-alien land bill.
Mrs. lnazawa said:
It Just so happens that the Leg
islature this year is strongly In fa
vor of that kind of attitude. But you
AAould l>e 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, "ns it
is the spirit that is behind it. There
is an indisputable feeling that Japat
is being unfairly treated, anil you can
rest assured that Japan will not al
- low her subjects to be discriminated
•igainst. But our hope lies in the
fact that there Is such a strong feel
ing against the bill.
“The Japanese are a hyersensi-
tive people, you know; their honor
Is supreme. There is nil the differ
nice in the world between the Japa
nese and the Chinese.” *
Both the Los Angelos preacher and
I,is wife made it very clear that th
Japanese could not he kicked around
as had been the case with the China
man Aiul ns for a "yellow peril,
they hooted the Idea.
Mr. lnazawa was asked what prog
n-Bs the Japanese military com pa
uies in California were making in
their daily drills and maneuvers.
Japs Hove No Militia.
“If there is a company of Japs or
ganized and drilling in military nia
neuvers In the whole tSate of Cali
fornia, 1 do not know 1t And I
am certain if there were any such
1 would know. There has never beet
a greater Injustice done my peopl
than the circulated reports that the
were organized already to tight th
United States
"We look on the matter in this
light The California anti-alien land
bill is in direct Violation of the treat
this country has with Japan, and
even if the State does make it
la>v, Ave believe the United States
Supreme Court will rule It unconstl
tutional I do not fear any war. But
most certainly Japan will fight if the
’fghts of her subjects are trampled
“But then,'' continued Mr. Inaza
ua. "America and Japan are bound
by a greater tie than politics—Chris
tianity. My country, by leaps and
bounds, has adopted the Christian re
Ugion and she has adopted America
< ivjlization to such an extent that I
do not believe they will ever clash.

His One Hobby
Is Walking.
I like to walk some myself." said
a well-known business man yester
day. “but I know a man who lives
in Kirkwood that has a mania
for it. It’s his one hobby, and he
rides—--or rather walks it to death;
hat is. Judged from my angle, of
urse. Walking with him is a pleas-
re. But if I did as much of it as
does it certainly would not remain
pleasure long.
“Winter and summer he arises early
nd before breakfast he does a long
alk. just how long I have no means
f knowing, hut 1 have tt from some
f his neighbors that he walks a good
many miles before breaking his fast,
hen. every afternoon when he gets
ff from work, he does another long
alk. I wouldn’t he surprised if he
didn’t walk home every day. and, be
lieve me, that is some walk from At
lanta 4> Kirkwood, especially after a
hard day's work.
"This fellow has a desk job. Dur
ing his working hours he is tied down
tu one office and he finds it necessary
walk a good deal to keep in good
physical condition. One Sunday aft
ernoon I met him out near Peachtree
reek and we fell Into conversation,
had seen him on the street often,
but did not know his name. We be-
ame acquainted in this fashion and
t to talking about the benefits of
alking. 1 saw at once that he was
rank on the subject, and at pari
ng be asked if 1 wouldn’t join him
next Sunday In a little stroll.
" ‘Where shall we go?’ I asked.
“ '(>h, say as far as Norcross and
irk.’ said he.
"Norcross is twenty miles from At-
nta. Forty miles in one day did
>1 look good to me, so I pleaded a
previous engagement.”

WASHINGTON. May 5. Ask^rm
that he attend In person and hear her j
state her case to-morrow to th" Sen- i
ate Committee on Postoftires and j
Postroads. Mrs. Helen D. Longstreet
who has failed of renomination as j
postmaster at Gainesville, * Ga., has j
addressed an open letter to President j
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 Post roads in the Capitol
committee room at 10:30 o'clock.
May 16. I respectfully beg you to
be present on that occasion, which
will give you the opportunity to
hear the other side of the Gatnes-
ville, Ga., postoffice 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 President's
room at the Capitol for confer
ences on public measures. T trust
that your 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 your Southern countrywomen,
and the attacks on her record In
the service.
This request should not be mis
understood. There is no doubt in
mv mind and no desire lodged in
my heart to continue in the
Gainesville postoffice. 1 made the
fight and lost. 1 am not reopen
ing that fight. Your 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. T
am now considering work on The
New r York Press and an offer
Avhlch lias been made me by a
veteran of the Union army, either
of which would give rue an in
come larger than I was receiving
in the Gainesville postoffice, and
at the same time my sphere of
usefulness would be widened.
My desire for you to attend the
committee meeting is inspired by
faith iri the man who wrote the
"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 regarding a dis
placement by which many of his
countrymen believe that America
has been discredited.

the youngster.
“T happened to be in town, grand

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" a
quarter. That was the smallest coin
he had. And "Bud." of course, didn’t
have to walk home.

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.
