JOHNSON Will
SIGN LAND BILL
CALIFORNIA; Governor Replies TO
Secretary Bryan - Denies
Act discriminatory.

Measure Necessary, He Says, For the
Protection and Preservation Of the
state-Federal Government Forced
by Reply to Champion callfornla's
cause-Next Move, 6ryan's Answer
to Japan's Protest.
Washington, May 10. - Governor
Johnson's message announcing his de-
termination to sign the California
allen land bill, has been received at
the state department This final ac-
tion by Governor Johnson puts the
federal government in a position
where it will be obliged to take up the
cudgels for California in fighting Ja-
pans protest.
The Johnson message was immedi-
ately sent by Secretary Bryan to Pres
ident Wilson, and was made public at
the White House.
The next move will be for the Unit.
ed States government to make. Sec
retary Bryan will be obliged to an.
swer the protest which Ambassador
Chinda has lodged with him. The
United States certainly will go to the
extent Of maintaining that there has
been no violation of the nations
treaty obligations, and Governor John
son, through his message, seems to
make 1t necessary also for the state
department to oppose Japan's com.
plant of offensive discrimination.
Governor Johnson leaves one little
loophole through which he may yet
reverse himself, if an extreme emer-
gency should develop. He informs
Secretary Bryan that he considers 1t
his duty to sign the bill unless some
absolutely controlling necessity de.
mands contrary action" Governor
Johnson acknowledges that he can
see no such necessity, and apparently
he puts it up to Mr.. Bryan to disclose
that necessity if it exists.
Johnson, in his reply to Bryan, con-
tends that the California bill is fully
within the treaty obligations of the
United States. He denies fatty also
that it carries any intended offense to
Japan or any other nation, or that it
is discriminatory. He adds that Cali.
fornia has been forced to pass this
bill for the protection and preserva.
ton of the state. 1--WE must see it or
be blind" says he.

SEWERAGE SOME
OTHERYEAR, MAYBE
Failure to Sell Bonds Puts Crimp
i'm LOng-FeIt Need for
Sanitary Measure.

A large and representative body of
citizens attended the meeting of Council
last Tuesday night and voiced their views
upon the sewerage question, which has
been troubling the city fathers for sew
eral weeks.
AS a result of the expressions of those
preseut, motion to readvertise the
sewer bonds at five per cent and proceed
at once with the proposed improvement
was unanimously voted down, and the
matter will go over until the early part
of next year
While this action does not meet with
the approval of all, and especially those
who are desirous of making improve
ments, it may be the means of saving the
town thousands in interest and construc-
iion-and then it may not.
After the sewer matter had been dis
posed of for the present, S. J. Vining
presented to'council plat of the Arm
strong property, in the east end, recent
" purchased by Lima parties. Council
believed that some slight changes should
be made in the plat, and referred the
matter to the street committee.
President Loree, of the County HUI
name Society, addressed council in be-
half of the society relative to installing
at least two more sanitary drinking
fountains and one more watering place
for animals. The matter was referred to
the street committee.
Auditor ]. L. Morrow presented to the
attention of the council the petition of
the Pumphrey ditch in the west end,
which because of the fact that it runs
partly within the limits of the corpora
ton required the Mayors signature.
Council UNANIMOUSLY authorized the Mayor
to sign the petition and bond.
The usual monthly reports were read
and accepted.
The ordinance regulating the planting
and preservation of shade trees and COM
pelling the cutting of all poplars, was
put upon its second reading, and then
laid over until Ethe next meeting for
passage.
Council unanimously granted the Luth-
eran church the free use of the opera
house for the entertainment they recently
gave for the benefit of their new church
building fund.

THE NEW JURY
LAW

One of the laws recently passed by the
legislature is that which will permit
nine members of jury, instead Of Il,
to find a verdict i'll civil cases. This law
was passed early in February, and went
into effect on the 14th, or go days
after the date of filing with the secre-
tary of state
Under the new law some changes will
be made in the form of the verdicts
which will be returned. In cases where
the verdict is not straight decision in
favor of either the plaintiff or defendant,
but is to be figured out on petition and
cross petition, the members of the jury
will have to ascertain the amonnt of
money, if any, to which the plaintiff is
entitled, under his petition, and the
amount due the other side, under the
cross petition, the actual finding being
the difference between the two. Here
tofore, where cross petition was brought
in, it was impossible to ascertain, under
the finding, just what view was taken of
the claim of the respective parties, in
case a demand was made for a certain
amount on each side. Under the new
law the view taken by the jury is
apparent.
The workings of the new law will be
found of advantage in cases where the
holding out of two or three men prevents
an agreement and prolongs a case which
should be easy of solution.

between Is and 20, with the list of in

have been the hardest hit. Twenty

So far as it has been traced the

Late reports place the number Of

HAVE ADVOCATED
No Longer Rule and Disgrace the
Buckeye State-GOvernOr
Cox and His Work.

Progressive Administration, Backet
by Progressive Legislature, Secures
Passage Of Laws That Bring Back
to the People Their Long Lost Her.
ltage to Rule Themselves-More
Fundamental Legislation Enacted
In Twelve Weeks Than Was Ever
Put Into the Statutes by Any other
General Assembly
Ohio, once completely dominated by
the interests, and later ruled by a
greedy crew that stole interest earn
ings on deposits of state money, and
also ran the government for its own
emolument, has been freed. A pre-.
dominance of the Interests" has been
succeeded by a predomlnance of the
people. An antiquated constitution
and an ancient code Of laws that we're
plant tools to create special prlvl.
leges for few have been revised into
as flexible instruments to make equal
opportunities for all the people.
Last September a long step forward
was taken by the adoption Of the con-
stitutional amendments; but the polit.
ical, social and economic changes OF
greatest magnitude came when pro
gressive state administration, in II
actual working weeks, gave legal eff.
feet to all those amendments and
achieved the proud distinction Of put
ting more fundamental legislation
into the statues than ever was enact
ed by any other general assembly in
the history of the nation. Not a sin
gle bill was passed that will be a
menace to any legitimate Ohio busi.
ness interest or enterprise.
Last fall Governor Cox announced
his prediction pledges and promises
were regarded as a promissory note
given to the people. Today every oblt'
cation set forth in that note is paid.
The personality of the governor was
the motor power that propelled the
different agencies engaged in the
work of redemption and fulfillment Of
pledges and promises. Sincere cooper
alton was given by the Democratic ma
jority in both houses of the general
assembly; without it nothing coul6
have been accomplished.
No Rumors of Graft.
Undoubtedly the most significant
point about the record of the Eightieth
General assembly is that, notwith.
standing far more than the ordinary
amount Of bills affecting big business
interests were introduced and the
need for successful lobbyists was
never more urgent, there was never
a rumor during the session that re
flected upon the honesty and integrity |
of a single member.
Not even a breath of suspicion
existed against a single solon. It
is the first time in many, many
years that charges of graft and
corruption have not been raised
during a legislative session. A
drastic anti-Iobby law, enacted in
the opening week of the session,
was largely responsible.

HOME BUILDING
FEVER

Anyone afflicted with the home-build-
ing fever will aggravate the disease by
reading VIM. A. Radford's article on
home building in this issue; but as the
building fever is disease, it pays
to contract and to aggravate until cured
by the construction of a home, and we
most certainly recommend this feature
to every one of our readers. Mr.. Rad
ford will give you some very practical
ideas along architectural lines. His talk
for this week is about a pretty six-room
