CAN'T CROSS DRY" TERRITORY.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal
says of the Kenyon-Webb bill that ut
not only prohibits the shipment OF
whiskey or other liquors into a dry
State, but through a dry State. In
other words, liquor manufactured in
Illinois can not be shipped over the ILL
nois Central Railroad into Louisiana
because it would have to pass through
Tennessee and Mississippi, both States
being prohibition States
If that be true, can liquor be brought
into Dallas, for instance, seeing that
Dallas is entirely surrounded by dry"
territory?
Evidently this new measure against
the liquor traffic has started some
thing.-Waco Times-He
Pretty soon the "critter" will have
to be manufactured on the ocean and
drank while aboard ship on the high
seas. Just as like as not, however,
they'll declare the ocean dry" terri
tory.

Mr.. Bryan has never taken dust
from any political roadster that ever
came down the pike. Just how long
he will pull as a wheeler in the Wilson
Cabinet without kicking out of the
traces, remains to be seen. The truth
OF the matter is, in all seriousness, it
is difficult to see how a man of Mr..
Bryan's power, influence, and world
wide vision, can play second fiddle to
any man. For this reason we were
that he accepted a place in
the Cabinet.

FROM OTHER PENS
THE JAPANESE MAZE.

According to a dispatch from Toxic
another note of protest in the California
anti-alien controversy has been sent to
the United States and a new treaty is
the hope of the Japanese government. AS
the state department maintains that the
Webb Bloodgood law is not violation or
the existing treaty, in fact meets its re-
quirements specifically, no progress can
be made in the negotiations by discussing
it further. particularly as Japan declines
a test case in the courts. If the alter
native is treaty, would it not tax
the ingenuity of the state department and
the senate to give Japan the guarantees
she wants? How can her citizens be as
sured equal rights with American citizens
in holding and owning land in California
when the legislature of that state has en-
acted a law that effectually denies Jap
aneSe subjects those rights? There is no
hope of California receding. If the treaty
were recast for the purpose of satisfying
Japan, could the senate be induced to
ratify it? And IL it were ratified would
not California be found as obstructive as
ever? The doctrine of state rights would
be agitated again in spite of the Constitu-
ton and the coercion of California would
become an embarrassing issue. Which
ever way one turns in the maze there is
bewilderment and Illustration. japanese
naturalization would prove solution, or
course. but in congress there would be in
flexible opposition in the present state or
