HAS
W- APPEARS AS IF JAPAN
1 BEEN BLUFFING.
Covcrnor Johnson of California an
I "houi ces that he cannot be swerved from
j his intention to sign the anti-alien
land bil!. Theie was never any reason
m to believe that he could be induced to
I refuse to sign the bill. But the delay
incident upon lis consideration of tht
request that he do so lias been ben
Ep&ial inasmuch as thereby the country
I generally and Japan as well have been
jfefven more time for rente lion. Both
in this country and in Japan we believe
1 there is less di.-.posi.i n by a good deal
to judge California harshly tl an there
was a couple of weeks ago. 'lime is
I great effacer and also a great clarifier
The following from an article in
newspaper published at Ktbe, Japan
d JuLtless proved to be something of an
i eye-opener to a great many people in
thu ct untry:
"It is not without significance that
1 Japan has always set her face inflex
ibly against the ownership of land by
foreigners. Even a permissive bill
so worded as to be almost an evasion
of the rights it professed to grant, has
been repeatedly shelved. It is also u
be remembered in this connection thai
Japan prohibits the employment :
j foreign labor, and prohibits fir
. eigners from engaging in agricultural
pursuits. On the ether hand, the land
policy of America is, as expressed tht
other day by a Japanese contempo
rary, "liberal beyond the v, ildest
dreams of the Japanese." There are
no restrictions against foreigners buy
ing or leasing lana, ana America is
far too interested in agriculture to
. prohibit cultivation by any foreigners
, Who care to indulge in it.
"The case standing as it does, it is
very difficult to see upon what grounds
the Japanese amtassador at Washing
ton can make protest against the bill
now before the California assembly
The protests already mnde have been
iprcly in the nature of bluff."

TIME TO PUT A STOP TORFCK
LESS DRIVING OF MO
TORCYCLES. Fortunately the motorcycle accident
of last night did not result in serious
injury though it was of coarse the cause
of a great nervous strain on the parents
of the little girl. But it was quite bad
enough when coupled with the common
knowledge of the reckless running of
automobiles and motorcycles On the
streets of New Bern to indicate the ne
cessity of calling a halt on a very dan
gerous custom prevalent here now.
Now is the time to give attention to
this very important matter. We confess
to ignorance as to what the ordinances
are cn the subject, but they are either
very elastic or they are not being en
forced. The new Board of Aldermen should
give earnest attention to the matter of
safeguarding the public from reckless
drivers of automobiles and riders of
motorcycles. If something is not done
to-put an end to the prevailing indiffer
ence to the possibility of accidents there
will occur and it as likely to come soon
is later-an accident that will horrify
the community.
The papers are full of the news of
automobile accidents. Cannot New
Bern take steps to guard against as far
as possible the occurrence of any such
accident here?
The Senate is recognizing the demand
for disposing of the tariff problem with
out needless delay. The proposition to
subject the bill to public hearings before
referring it to the finance committee of
the Senate was defeated Friday by a
vote of 41 to 36. The tariff question
has been threshed out endlessly already.
Action is what the public sentiment of
the country is now demanding.
Senator Poindexter of Washington,
Progressive, voted with the majority
in deciding against public hearings for
the Underwood tariff bill. Senators
Ransdell and Thornton of Louisana,
Democrats, voted with the minority.
These votes showed surprisingly slight
changes in the genera party align
ment that was to have been expected.
The Democratic majority is omewhat
attenuated but the prospect now seems
to be that it will be sufficient to enable
the party program to be put through
without any great delay.

SPREADING OF ANOTHER DIS
EASE CHARGED TO THE FLY.
Persons interested in the warfare on
disease will not be surprised when they
read in an editorial reproduced from the
New York Word in this morning's
Journal that the fly already fourid
guilty of the propagation of several
diseases has been recently convicted of
being responsible for the spread of in
fantile paralysis. All the more reason
for fighting the fly. And fighting the
fly by .-he way is a much bigger under-
aking than swatting him.
And while we are about it we will add
that sufficient precautions against the
dingers of the fly are not taken by
some of .the retail grocers in this and
ther cities. It is a very common thing
to see strawberries and other fruits and
vegetables exposed on the fronts of
stores without the slightest protection
om the flics.
01 course all these things are washed
and some of them are cooked be'o.-c
they arc eaten but these processes do
not remove all the possibilities of dis-
ase being spreid as a result of flies
having crawled over them. Besides
n view of public hostility against
he My now prevailing and the common
knowledge of his filthy habits it would
seem that tradesmen would understand
that the exposure of their wares to the
lies would not appeal at all favorably
to their customers.
We arc well aware that some people
hold that the warfare on the fly, the
mosquito and other disease-spreaders
is carried on to a degree that the daneer
does not warrant. But such people in
our humble opinion are mistaken. An
ounce of prevention is worth a pound
t cure but to apply the principle of
prevention may and often does require
the taking of considerable pains Noth
ng that is worth while can be had with
out some effort.

PUTTING PEACE MOVEMENT
IN FALSE LIGHT.
Ur. I.yman Abbott, editor of the
Outlook, who was deprived of his office
as one of the vice-presidents of the
merican Peace Society because he
signed tin appeal of the Navy League
for a larger navy has used the incident
an occasion for quite a propaganda
favor of the contention that the time
not npe for uni versa peace. He
says in. support of his contention that
"Christians have not stood for and
ought not to stand for peace at any
price." We doubt if there is any mem
ber of the Peace Society who holds that
Christians should stand for peace at
any prce. This is putting the peace
movement in a false light. Those who
arg.:c for the taking of all reasonable
steps to put an end to strife among
nations and its attendant bloodshed
and misery do insist that some nation
tdgar Wallnau, who is connected
with the circulation depar.mcn of the
