JV-ABHrNGTOX. MSy ST.—Students
of statecraft declare ttiftt the n'tIson
admtnlBtratlon has nswUessly, not to
saw stupidly, walked Into a trap In
the controversy with Japan ov#r the
CiiJtfnrnlB alien land law.
In It* roply to Great Britain's Pan
ama Canal totla protest, this Gov-
arntnent lata down the principle that
until «n overt act had been oommlt-
ftd a centrist the Hay-Pauncefote
trusty. Great Britain would have no
stand!** in court-, In other words,
tiat OTrst Britain's grlcrnrire would
btoordB a matter for diplomatic ad
justment only after an American ship
had actually passed rhrou*h the ca
nal free. This statement cleared the
atmosphere and left Great Britain no
reasonable irrounds for continuing
the debate.
The game principle applies In the
oontiover*}- with Japan.
The oh virus reply ol Ssoretary of
Shore Brean to the first Japanese
protest. In rlew of the attitude as-
rfurtncd tptvard Great Britain, wa» to
State that the treaty with Japan had
not beep violated, and, therefore,
there wat no matter for contention
between the two governments until
after some .TnptuirSe subject 1n Cali
fornia had been aggrieved by the
operation of some California law.
But Instead of adopting this logi
cal oonrae, It Was pointed out here
to-day the Wilson administration
floundered about In the diplomatic
puddle, and, denying that the treaty
of 1911 had been violated, Invited
further negotiations, thus giving the
Japanese Ambassador an excellent
•dpportimlty to quote the State De
partment ngalnSI Itself, where the
vorv same principle 1s Involved
As the matter 1s now, Instead of
making h firm stand on precedent
and silencing the Japanese protest
hh the British pretest was silenced,
the Wilson administration has pro
moted bickering between the two na
tions, Japan and the United States,
and is In the ridiculous position of
holding two diametrically opposite
p.dii as in relation to Identically the
-ant ' problem. If the American po
sition is tight 1n regard lo the Pana
ma t'nna! protest, 1t Is wrong In re
gard to the Japanese protest, and
vice vc*rfsa
li Is the expectation hero that
Japan will take Instant ;idvftnt-«ge
of the inconsiHtenoy mid incongruity
of the position of the United States

"They're right," said the head bar
ber, as he deftly deposited a comb be
hind his left ear ami began running
his fingers through tyls customer’s

"Never saw a guy who insisted on
wearing a bunch of spinach like that
who wasn’t harder to please than your
wife with her new' summer hat. And
a guy who will insist on having his
mustache curled—well, some men is
queer. Soak ’em, says 1, soak 'em, |
and soak ’em-good and plenty."
And the customer went out war
bling:
What! The kibosh on the Van Dyke,
And an extra charge to boot
When the barber does' your mustache
With a curl so cute and sweet,
