Mentha " .k. 1 nree iuuu iua Thursday, April 24th, 1913. The California people are again airing their grievances against Japan and causing the President and his cabinet to spend many anxious hours over this very delicate question. They have a bill before the Leg islature to prohibit foreigners who do not expect to soon be come naturalized citizens of the United States from acquiring title to'real estate in California The Japanese people and their government have rightly inter preted this bill as aimed specially at them. While the President has no authority to say to a State what kind of laws it must not enact, still he is expected to use his influence to convince the Californians that they should not involve the whole country in war with a foreign nation on account of a domestic question affecting the people of that State alone. The Japanese government has made protest to President Wilson because it cannot deal with a State government. And on ac count of the reserved and consti tutional rights of the States, our general government has no pow er to act in the matter except in an advisory capacity. President Roosevelt had the same question to deal with and managed to scare the Californ ians from their purpose by hold ing up the imminence and ser iousness of war with Japan. This served to postpone the trouble instead of effecting a permanent policy. President Wilson will try to convince the Californians of their duty to observe the treaties of the United States with Japan and other foreign countries and to make as permanent as Monroe, did the doctrine of non entangle ment with foreign powers, the doctrine that all States should hold the treaty rights that our general government has entered into with other governments above the rights of individual States. one word, "heifer", stricken out and then made applicable to the whole State. The Jaw is evaded. There is a man at Hickory who makes a business of bujing calves, and nearly every day sends off by express from one to half a doen carcases. And, al though we have no personal in formation about it. there is a general suspicion that as many of them are heifers as the other kind. The quickest way to in crease the supply and reduce the of beef would be for all the States to enact a law prohi biting the slaughter of calves under two vears old. The new division of marketing farm pro ducts that the Department of Agriculture is organizing, should make a study of this question and trv to secure from the States a uniform law.

An election was held last week in a Massachusetts district to fill a vacancy in Congress caused by the election of former Representative Weeks to the Senate. In November Weeks had 2,000 majority over his Democratic opponent. In the snecial election last week the same Democrat who was de feated last fall was e'ected over his Republican opponent by over 4000 maioritv. The sole issu- was the Democratic tariff bil now betore Coneress and the policy of President Wilson for lower tariff and cheaper clothing and cheaper food. This resul does not indicate that the Demo cratic party -vill lose votes b carrying oat its campaign prom ises. The Democrats of the House have completed their work in caucus on the new tariff bill They considered it schedule by schedule, adopting in every case the rate3 prepared by the com mittee and approved by the President, and then adopted the bill as a whole, by an over whelming majority last Satur day. This commits all the Democrats to vote for the bill when it comes to a vote in the House for final passage, except a few members from sugar and wool States, who asked to be relieved from the caucus action The bill will be debated about two weeks and then about two weeks more will be taken up in considering it by sections. The final vote will be reacned about the middle of May. The Senate will take about the same length of time on the bill, reaching the final vote some time in July. The bill is framed to meet the prom ises of the party as set forth in the Baltimore platform and in the campaign. It leaves suffi cient protection to all industries to make up for the difference in wages paid in this country and the wages paid by foreigners and at the same time makes sufficient reductions to insure cheaper clothing, shoes, farm machinery, sugar and all articles of necessity. It insures a re duction of the cost of living to the millions of farmers and laborers and people of small means and small incomes, without crippling any industry that will be satisfied with reas onable and legitimate profits. The big monopolists object to giving the people any part of the enormous differences in the price paid by consumers here and consumers abroad, preferring of course that they shall contin ue to collect this tribute from all the people for their own personal benefit, but President Wilson and theDemocratic Congress are paying no attention to their threats. They have studied the question thoroughly and are de termined to do justice to the people as a whole. Some of the State papers are speaking in commendation of the law that Senator Jack Rein- hardt had passed in the session of 1911 prohibiting the killing of heifer calves in Catawba and Lincoln counties. The law would be a good one if it were observed. But it needs to have Wanted: To buy some young thin rattle, also have a pair of fine mules for sale. 9 tf J. F.
