In taking this action this body respectfully expresses the hope that the conference ‘Will not end until a definite and satisfactory settlement has been reached on the ques- ‘tion of Japanese immigration to this country. ‘The interest Of the people of Seattle in this question will be readily perceived. More than one out of every nine births registered in Seattle in 1920 were Japanese. This city lies contiguous to a rich farming district where from one-half to three-fourths of ‘the American population have within the past 10 years been displaced by Japanese, to Temedy which condition the legislature of this state recently enacted a law aimed ex- ly at preventing the ownership and leasing of agricultural lands by Japanese. the limits of this city more than 1,500 Japanese commercial and industrial en- ri are in competition with American merchants and business men, and in y lines of work Japanese have either replaced or are competing with American ‘This situation contains the possibility of serious friction between the two races. The peent expulsion at Turlock, Califoraia, of several hundred Japanese field hands by Americans whom they had displaced furnishes a strong warning of what may be and seriously suggests the desirability of opening a discussion at the con- with a view to persuading the Japanese government to recall its nationals this country. the reasons set forth, this body repeats the hope that the right of the Ameri- people to keep this country for themselves will not be exchanged at the confer- for trade or investment concessions in Asia in which Americans outside of the big cial circles are not interested. | (Adopted by unanimous vote at regular meeting, August 1, 1921.)

That is a very old pun, but it is pertinent, I am fre quently called into counse| concerning bad boys There are bad boys, How bad they are I should not like to tell They have in them badnens that rune oat of their mouths in vite words and out of their fingertips where they scrawl lewd pictures and sen: tences on fences and walla. They are guilty of hold-upe and tmnumerabie crimes, Before the war the English reviews contained arti cles on the startling increahe of juve hile delinquency, and now that de lquency is still apparently on the increase, they are charging it to the war, There are boys that are bad, criminally bad, But all good boys are bad some times, And it is these good boys who are sometimes bad of whom I am now writing particularly, I have sons, You may ask any of the neighbors about thgm, and you will be told they were food bors and are now good men. I have not made a failure of my boys. They have @ good mother, And their fe ther has never been Indifferent to- ward them. My boys have always been good boya* But even good boys, includ. ing my own boys, and perhaps in cluding myself in boyhood, have had pertods of being less good than usual. It ts not necemmry to take too wricuslf the naughty pranks of habitually good boys. Some of those things would better pas: un- noticed. Some of them should be corrected promptly, by means of a frank and loving conference. It pays to be frank with a boy. One thing parents need to remem- ber is that not all bolsterousness and forgetfulness and rudeness is delit- erately bad Moet all the good men in the world had periods of reationanens and rudeness, and oc canions for anxiety to parenta, That is one part of the procemmes of mak- ing good men.

EB. has just completed a successful con vention, enjoyed by visitors from all parts of the United States. Your organization contributed ma terially in the entertainment of our visitors and Ll with to express to you, on behalf of this lodge, our sincere appreciation for the gener. ous publicity given us on this oo casion. Respectfully youre, W. A. BANE, Sceretary, Washington State Elks’ Asso, Editor The Star: We are disposed to think that food is the most important thing in this world, as a sustaining force in our existence, while exactly the reverse is true. Any person in good health can easily go without food anywhere from 10 to 30 days with- out injury to the body, if both mind and body are kept active with the mind in a positive attitude. One may live @ lesser number of days without water; whereas, without air one can live but a few moments. Going one step farther, which takes us into the, realm of the vital creative forces of univerval nature, we shall discover that in case the ebb and flow of the solar fluid, (the nature of which ig electric) thru the blood and nervous system was to cease for but a single instant of secular time, death of the body would ensue. To what end do we therefore think that food is the prime factor of existence? Do we employ erude ofl to drive our automobiles? It ts not true that we refine it away to the point where it is lighter than water; and in proportion as we refine it docs not its potential energy, its power of resiliency, its very life energy and driving power increase? Rut, when at last it enters the |eylinder of the engine it has be come @ living invisible gas, striking out with the potency of the light ning flash as it does its work. There is a Chinese proverb in which we are told that the bow! was made for the hollow, rather than the hollow for the bowl. The bowl may shape the air within ite confines; it cannot make it; the air was there before the bow! existed, it will be there after the bowl has been resolved into its original ele ments, because the air is akin to life, and intimately associated with the powers of the mind and mental action; therefore, if you desire to think with power and clearness of vision, learn to breath correctly. Great thinkers have great lung. capacity; they know how to breathe correctly; how to drink; when, and how much to eat. The religion of the future will have for its watch. word, “Thou shalt KNOW.” W. H. SCOTT, Raffling Autos in Public Editor The Star: For the past few days cltizens walking down Second ave, have been wildly beseeched to “buy a share” in 4 so-called “raffling” scheme. “Onty 60 cents, gentlemeg, and the car may be-yours,” ete The writer ts comparatively a new- comer to Seattle, and I have caught myself wondering if this open gum- bling on our streets is expressive of the “Seattle Spirit," and if the de- cent, law-abiding people of this city really indorse this kind of thing, There are a few questions I would Itke to ask in this public way! First, is there not a law on the statute books of Washington against gam. bling? And if this is not gambling, pray, what is it? The essence of gambling is “something for nothing,” Or one man's undue gain at the ex- pense of others, People are urged to pay 60 cents or more on the chance that they will draw a lucky number and get ® car “free.” The one who draws @ car for 50 cents does no be- cause thousands of others have paid for it, and in addition other thou- sands have helped to line the pockets of the #lick-tongued gentry who wear out thelr lungs urging folks to “take & chance.” Oh, Charity, how many ecrtmes have been committed in thy name! How much do the veterans get from this scheme? Will the people of Se- attle be given an accounting? Will these philanthropleally inclined gen- tlemen who are so earnestly “giving” their time to the generous task favor us with a statement showing just how much money they take in, how much {# paid for the car, how much “commission” they receive, and, finally, how much actually goes to the veterans? The publication of such @ statement, 1 am sure, would convince many that ft would be cheaper to make thelr contributions for this worthy cause directly to the veterans, Seriously, is it not about time that decent people here and in other cities 80 roune public sentiment as to make such dingraceful gambling impos nible? “READER” REMARKABLE || REMARKS In the United Staten we see today a prople closest to our own aims and | ideals.—-Premier Lioyd George, ee Many a so-called business man al-| lows himself to be a chronically tired, | outwardly respectable hobo in a white collar—-Dr. Eugene Lyman!
