CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
A Certain Friend of the People y
Urged to Veto the Mcclellan Bill.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: II would seem that before the
partisan constitutional convention so OPP
portunely arranged by Mr.. Murphy shall
have actually been perpetrated on the
state II should at least receive the pub
Lefty and airing such an outrage de-
serves.
II the press were to wage a vigorous
campaign OF education and push IL thick
and fast enough, the resulting non-par-
tisan sentiment would be so great as 10
prove Mr.. Murphy hoist by his own
petard"
But better still, in the event OF great
sentiment, isn't there q possibility that
our sensitive Governor might feel the
reverberations, and happily remembering
what he said on the subject back In 1892,
when Speaker OF the Assembly. veto the
Mcclellan bill? Surely. one so intrepid
as to enunciate such noble sentiments
when mere Speaker would have the cour-
age to secure their practical accomplish
ment when Governor and even more ex-
allied party leaderl Frequent and intense
vibrations should stir the memory Of one
SO near the people! Won't you take II ONT

MIR. Bryan's Retreat from the State
of California.

The amended law devised by the California ADMIN
istration appears to he an astute and able piece vi
work 1t denies to Mr. Bryan practically all that 1T
pleaded for and sends him back to washington WIN
little save kind words. 1t comedies the one thii's
treaty supremacy, which Mr.. Bryan expressly ulS
claimed desire to assert incidentally, IN so uoihg
the State of California appears to have placed se
in. an impregnable position so far as criticism al
home or abroad is concerned
Mr. BRYAN made his plea with ability ana TACT
The anomalous situation in which he finds himself
of having lost every point he sought and galheu 'e
one pOint which he scorned-is due to no lack VI
diplomatic ability on his part The blame must resi-
ot the door If a Democratic administration wmci
toyed with grave federal issue and timidly re-
treated from the assertion of an undoubed nauonal
power
The proposed law, which now seems certain oil
passage. expressly and amply recognizes ana re-
spects all treaty rights in land But in the case OF
aliens ineligible to citizenship (the discrimination
is actually made though the phrase is not uSeu)
snch rights are carefully restricted to those awarded
by treaty Rights in land are allowed IN the man
'ner and to the extent and for the purpose pre-
.scribed by any treaty now existing between Tue
Government of the United States and the nation OF
country of which such alien is citizen or subject
land not otherwise"
Inst how much California has accomplished by
This ingenious law it will remain for the courts TO
decide As has often been pointed out Ill these col
unns the treaty of 1911 with Japan by no means
gives Japanese subjects full rights to own and lease
land in this country The treaty is entitled treaty
If commerce and navigation" And the grant OF
land rights is carefully restricted. The controlling
nernissiye phrases are first, ito own or lease and
occupy houses. manufactures, warehouses ana
"shops" and second ito lease land for reSidehual
and commercial purposes" 1t may well be con-
tended that no rights with respect to agricultural
land are awarded by this language.
The great weakness Of Mr.. Bryans position was
that he asked state to award greater land rights 70
aliens than were secured them by treaty On this
pont Governo, Johnson had all the best of the arg
ment And by craftily granting the one thing that
Mr.. Bryan waived and recognizing fully our treaty
obligations the Californians placed themselves IN
wholly sound and defensibe position.
We cannot see how japan has any legitimate quar-
Are with this new law. If she wishes larger rights
Vfor her citizens she can seek new treaty. In inc
mean time 1t is to be hoped that the administrator
has learned lesson in federal rights under the Con
stituion and in the enforcement of japanese rights
under the treaty of 1911 will not pursue the hating
apologize policy of the last few days
The honors of the present engagement are plainly
with the state Of California

A Time Limit on Panama Tolls.

We may charitably assume that 1t was e1pedient
If not necessary to postpone until fall the settlement
of the Panama tolls question. The tariff and the
currency are perhaps all that Congress will be able
to deal with in this special session If So the fact
must be accepted, with regrets.
There is however, a limit beyond which right
settlement ought not, on any ground or pretext TO
be postponed That limit is marked by the date
on which the first commercial and tols-paying YES
sci shall pass through the canal 1t would be an
indelble shame to this country to violate, in even
single case Of the smallest craft the treaty obiga-
lions which 1t voluntarily and eagerly assumed
before the world. Before the canal Is opened the
last doubt concerning the imposition and remission
of tolls should be cleared away to the satisfaction
of the world.
Seeing too that the dispute over the matter Is
between the United States and Great Britain, a
settlement ought be reached before the beginning
of the commemoraton of the centenary Of peace, Ill
order that at that feicitous time there shall be in
existence not a single outstanding dispute cause
of controversy between the two nations.
