EARLY CHRISTMAS
BUYING IS URGED
Retail Merchants Point Out
Benefits to Purchasers and
Employees in Stores.

Buy YOUR Christmas presents now.
In fact set everything you have to
have fo- the holiday season. except per-
ishable foodstuffs. now.
These were the two salient sugges-
tons in a talk by President Andrews,
of the Retail Merchants Association. at
a meeting OF the board of governors OF
the association last night.
A resolution was adopted also, urging
Washington as the site for the armor
plate factory, and suggesting to Pres
ident Wilson, to whom, as we'll as to
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, a copy
of the resolution is to be sent, that the
Government-owned land near the Great
Falls he used. 1t is pointed OUT that
the power from the falls could be util-
lied in the operation of the armor plant.
All Would Benefit.
A general discussion followed the in
PRODUCTION of the early Christmas
shopping theme, and a hundred-and
one reasons were offered why the shop
ping should be done early. 1t was point
ed out that through the cooperation in
the early shopping movement the GUS
toner, the clerk, and the merchant
would be saved from tho hardships that
in years past have attended the prep
arations for the celebration Of the Yule-
tide.
THE time is now at hand when the
public should look to its Christmas
shopping" declared President Andrews.
The stores of Washington are wonder
fully well-equipped to handle the big
volume of trade that is certain to de-
velop during the next five weeks, and
with such a wide diversity of attractive
articles that opportunity is now certain
ly knocking at the door of the buying
I.ubljc. Do 1t Now is the Retail Mer-
chants Association slogan. Certainly
the public will appreciate the wisdom OF
shopping now and avoiding the rush.
In order to accomplish something def
mite along this line the president was
authorized TO appoint a committee of
plan to encourage the shoppers to do
their buying early. The real work OF
the committee, of course. is to get the
hustling to induce early shop
ping. for If just a few merchants are
in attracting a stream of
Christmas buying. all will be forced in
10 line, anl everybody will be benefited.
The greatest interest was manifested
in the report of the credit and collec-
ton committee of the association, of
which GersOn Nordlinger is chairman.
The report developed the fact that this
feature of the organization is being
used by the members of
he association generally. and great
good is being accomplished through it's
nstrumentality. The collection de-
,artment report was highly praised, |

BUT DO NOT DO 50, Is BRYAN's
PLEA; ALIEN BILL GOES,
Is REPLY.
DELAY ACTION ON BILL
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATORS QUIZ
SECRETARY; REJECT ADVICE
ON LEGISLATION,
Western Newspaper Union News Service.

Sacramento, Calf, April 29.-Cali-
fornia, in the fullness of her right as
a state may enact a rigid land law
barring Orientals from ownership, but
such action would be against the earn.
est wish of the national administra-
tion.
This is the substance of the mes
sage of William Jennings Bryan, sec
retary of state and personal represen-
tative of PresidentSSsilso delivered
to a secret conferences attended only
by Governor Johnson, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Wallace and the 12O members
Of the california Legislature
The Impression prevailed here,
when the conference adjourned, that
the resolve Of the majority leaders
previously announced, to enact a bill
specifically debarring "aliens ineligi-
BILE to citizenship" from owning land
in California remained unchanged.
Governor Johnson indicated this
with the representative of the Presi-
dent.
Secretary Bryan arrived in Sacra-
With his consent plans were laid for
an immediate hearing and shortly af-
ter II o'clock the first session of the
conference began.
Those who expected Secretary Bry
an to expound a new theory Of states
rights were disappointed, as were
those who expected predictions of
war.
Advice, in the name of President
Wilson, was al, Mr.. Bryan had to Of
fer, and the paramount question here
is whether such advice will overcome
the previously announced determina-
ton of the Progressive majority to en-
act an anti-alien land holding law
along the lines already agreed upon.
Secretary Bryan reaffirmed the
states right to act in a manner it saw
fit, but suggested several alternatives
to the passage of a bill restricting
aliens "ineligible to citizenship" bas-
ing his reason on the board founda.
ton of public policy. Briefly, the al
ternatives in the order in which they
were suggested are as follows:
l. Deldy lIHlueuldte aclloH anu Ill
low the State Department to try to ac-
complish the ends desired, by means
of a new treaty with Japan.
2. Delay immediate action end ap-
point a committee to investigate the
subject of alien land ownership and
act in conjunction with the President
in securing relief.
3. Enact a law similar to the stat
ute in Illinois which permits aliens to
hold land for period not exceeding
six years and applies alike to all
aliens.
4. Enact law similar to the fed
eral statute governing land ownership
in the District of Columbia, which is a
general law applying to all aliens.
OF these alternatives, it may safely
be said, according to leaders In the
Legislature, that the last two are out
of the question.
Many Democrats favor turning the
matter over to the State Department,
while the Progressive majority appar-
emily remains unchanged in support Of
a bill that would apply it's restrictions
to Orientals alone.
