Few in Society Missing

The Presidents box was unOccupied
for the first two or three events of the
afternoon. The coming of Miss Eleanor
Wilson and Miss Helen Woodrow Bones,
escorted by DR.. Grayson, L. S. ~,
created quite a stir in the grandstand,
where on the lower half dozen rows,
there were then but few empty seats.
The Presidents daughter had num-
Der of visitors. and thoroughly enjoyed
the events on the card.
Miss Wilson wore a gown of king s

faced with blue velvet and trimmed
with flowers.
Miss Bones wore gray crepe de chine.
gle ostrich plume shading from red to
black.
Few Were Missing.
Society evidently gave it's afternoon
very willingly to the show. and few of
| those who add interest TO fashionable
life were missing. Smart toilettes
were the rule. Visiting between the
boxes was like d gala night at the
opera. In Col. Thompson's box a waiter
at o'clock served hot tea or cool
lemonade, his party desired The
same sort of hospitality was in prog
ress on the smaller stand with the
iHeii serving the cOoiinS drinks, and none
going begging for consumers

box party. She wore light gray
tailored suit with black satin cuffs and

Rehearses the Objections.

In summing up. Secretary Bryan re-
hearsed the objections and suggestions of
the President already made public and
concluded:
Having performed the duty imposed
upon me by the chief executive of the
nation. my work is done. You have listen
ed patiently and courteously and now the
responsibility rests upon you to do what
you deem necessary, recognizing, as you
doubtless do, that you act not only as
the representatives Of the state, dealing
with lands lying within the state. but as
the representatives of state occupying
a position among her sister states and
sharing with them an interest In and re-
sponsbility for international relations.
You are fortunate in this state in hay
ing the initiative and referendum. Inc
initiative spurs you on to do that which
you believe your people want done, while
the referendum empowers those Tor
whom you speak to put their veto upon
your acts il you fail to reflect their
wishes.
1T may be assured. therefore. that IL
you feel it your duty to enact any legls-
lation on this subject at this time. your
people will either manifest their approvai
by acquiescence their disapproval by
submitting your action to the judgment
of the voters by means of the referen-
dunn.
Il leave YOU with renewed assurances
Of the Presidents friendly concern in the
subject with which You are dealing. and
of my appreciation of the kind reception
which you have accorded me as his
spokesman.
Johnson Sees Victory for People.
The passage of the alien land law, in
spite Of the softening clause permitting
leases to ineligible foreigners, will be
regarded by Gov. Johnson as great
victory for the people of the state.
1--WE have done the big thing. said
the governor today. When this bill
has passed the assembly we shall have
made it impossible for aliens who are
ineligible to citizenship to get a foot
hold on the land of California.
LAS for leases, l may say that every
bill that has been considered seriously
has contained clause authorizing leases.
The Bradford bill, which passed the as
sembly two weeks ago, ano which repre-
scented the views of the assembly and all
who opposed alien ownership at that time,
provided for five-year leases. The pres
ent bill reduces the term to three years.
This was done at the earnest request
of farmers of the Sacramento and San
joaquin valleys, SO that fair opportunity
should be given to adjust themselves to
the new conditions. Two years hence. if
the legislature desires, ii may eliminate
the leasing clause. but to do 1t suddenly
would mean ruin to many of our farmers,
who. with a brief period for readjust-
ment. may prevent that ruin. l believe
that two years from now there will be
further legislation

Suggestion Submitted to Wilson.

Il have submitted 10 him the sugges-
tlon-but. owing 10 his absence from
Washington just at this time. have been
unable to secure answer-that the
time limit upon any bill YOU pass might
influence it exerts. if that influence
i unfavora BILE II. for instance. any bill
that YOU pass dealing with the subject is
limited in its operations TO two years-or
even four years. but two years would give
opportunity for the next Legislature to act
upon the subject-it would afford an OPP
Iortunity for diplomatic effort with the
hope that the situation could be so inn
proved as TO make a re-enactment of the
law unnecessary Assuming that the peo-
pie OF California will be satisfied to reach
the end which they desire by methods
which will cause the least friction be-
tween this and other nations, this sugges-
ton is made for the consideration of
those who have yet 10 act upon the sub
ject
IF the Legislature is willing to avoid
the use of the words eligible to citi-
@enship. or Ineligible to citizenship
| am authorized to suggest that the
line might be drawn at another point.
namely, between those whose right to
own land is defined by treaty and
those whose right to own land is not
defined by treaty, the former to be al
lowed to own according to the terms
Of the treaty. and the latter to be al
lowed to hold on the same terms that
citizens Of the United States hold land.
But the President desires me to keep
before you at all times the fact that he
would prefer if consistent with your
views of the states interests, to have
to permit him to employ diplomatic
! means

WILL HOLD UP LAND BILL
DR.. Jordan Believes People
Will Ultimately Send Case
to Supreme Court.

ST LOUIS. Mo-. May 3.-California
citizens who oppose the anti-alien land
ownership bill passed by the California
senate will hold its operation in suspense
by an appeal to the referendum and the
validity of the law will be tested in the
federal Supreme Court, according to
President David Starr Jordan Of Leland
Stanford University, who is here at
tending the peace congress.
This opinion was expressed by DR.. Jor-
dan in an address before the city club
here this afternoon.
The case that in the opinion of Dr.
Jordan will be tested in the Supreme
Court will result in a decision as to
whether a line can be drawn between
the property owning rights Of Persians,
Armenians. Turks and kindred ma
tionalities eligible to citizenship, and

The instinct Of the!wild animal
which roamed the primeval
forest has been handed to us TO
the extent that we follow the
laws Of least resistance; we in
variably do things in life requir-
ing the least effort; we are going
to travel the roads OF least re.
sistance. A city to be prosper
Gus must draw TO it people to
trade, and the city failing to pro
vide suitable trans portation facil-
tiles, need not expect to draw it's
full quota Of the outside trade;
the man in the country with
something to sell, will go to the
place where is kept something
he can buy, but in this going and
com ing, the obstacles count for
much. Therefore, the city pro
viding the best thoroughfares, is
the city which justly merits all
the trad it cLn q t; and that
which aeplies to the city applies
alike topthe county.
What Marion county needs

indications Of life and prosperity
to a city; the more sources Of
approach, the more prosperous
is that city; there would be no
quicker way of destroying a city
than TO isolate it cut it off from
outside communication.
A city is like magnet, which
through its various forces draws

These highways should be so
constructed and maintained as to
be in good condition the entire
year, then the people would
come to the city more often and
the merchants would have an
average business the year round,
1t means as much to a city for
roads TO be in such condition,
that the farmer living in the
country can take a load Of pro
duce to market any season of the
year; when it is seen that the
farmer is compelled to sell his
produce at a certain season, he
at once becomes the victim OF
the Shrewd buyer, therefore,
profits which belong to him go TO
the middle man; the cities are
the central market places and
unless there are good roads, the
people cannot market their pro
duces as often as they should,
all of which means a loss to the
city.
Good roads, like good streets,
attracts the very best people;
they materially decrease the dis
lance between farm and city;
good roads are the mile stones
marking the advance Of ciyiliza

extent that the merchant, the
