REFERENDUM FOR
ANTI-ALIEN BILL
Movement Started Which Is In
tended TO Postpone Issues.
OBJECT TO YEARLY LEASES

Washington Administration Sees Fur
ther Opportunity For Adjustment of
Lond Owning Dispute, but Tokyo
Would Prefer to Have Its Protest
Dealt With Now.
Washington, May -. - The move
ment in California to submit the anti
alien land act to referendum is I'M
derstood to be viewed by the admins
tration as affording further opportu-
nifty for diplomatic adjustment Of the
Issues between the United States and
Japan.
1t had been assumed here that be-
cause of apparently overwhelming
sentiment in California in favor Of
japanese exclusion from land owning
there might be difficulty in securing
the 10000 signatures necessary to in
woke the referendum.
Now, however, that the exclusion
element itself, or, rather, its most rad
ical component-the Asiatic Exclusion
league-has taken up the movement
the probabilities of its success have
greatly increased in the official tudg-
ment.
The Japanese government is not ex-
pected to approve that method Of deal
ing with its protest though probably
1t will be difficult for the Tokyo for
eign office to find technical grounds for
objection to the method in which Cali
fornia is attempting to legislate.
Officials here feel that Japan regards
the present as the best time perma-
nently to settle the question and that
1t will contemplate with impatience a
delay of at least year and a half,
even though in the interval the propos-
ed law were not applied to the Japa-
nese in California.
Don't Want Three Year Leases.
The Asiatic Exclusion league of Cal
ifornia instructed its executive COM
mittee to draft a petition for a refer
endum vote on the alien land bill. The
petition is to be circulated Immediate
ly now that the bill has been signed by
Governor Johnson.
The objections of the league are
based on the clause in the Webb act
which permits three year leases 1t is
the purpose of the organization to cir
culate at the same time an initiative
petition for law which will exclude
Japanese and Chinese from both own
ership and leaseholds under any con-
ditions.

A Few Honest Pointers
In Regard to Paint.

When you go into a, store and ask
for paint don't be misled if the pro-
prietor or the clerk begins to sell you
paint by weight. Don't be fooled be-
cause the greatest weight does not
always mean the greatest value, for,
instance, green and dark colored
paint do not carry as much white
lead, as white and light colored
paints, therefore, if your dealer
weighs up a gallon of his competi-
tors paint, say green or some dark
colored paint, surely it will not weigh
as much as gallon of his white
paint. Then again there is a way of
making a gallon of paint weigh
heavy without much cost, but we
hope no dealer in Honesdale sells
this kind; paint that is adulterated
with Barytes, which costs about $40
per ton while pure white lead is
worth about $3.50 per ton, but the
Barytes has very little if any cover
ing capacity, although it is heavy and
very white. These are only a few
facts that everybody should know. If
you want an absolutely guaranteed
paint-a paint that one gallon will
cover 300 square feet, two coats
and a paint that will be cheap in the|
long run, you will surely make mol
mistake if you buy DEVOE. Erk|

NOW SOLD IN AMERICA.
In Less Than Five Years, Partisan
Sage, the Splendid Hair Tonic,
is Sold all Over America.

AS 0Olu uh ONCf 1AihOAANRs
There is a reason for the pheno-
menal sale of Partisan Sage in the
United States during the past three
years.
And the reason is plain to all:
Partisan Sage does just what it is
advertised to do.
Ask Peil, the druggist, about it.,
and he will tell you that he rigidly
guarantees it to cure dandruff, stop
falling hair or itching scalp in two
weeks or money back.
There is no reason whatever why
any man or woman should fail to
take advantage of the above gener-
Gus offer.
But one thing that has made Pari-
sian Sage so famous is its peculiar
power to turn the harsh, unattrac-
tive hair that many women possess
into luxuriant and radiant hair in a
short time. Women of refinement
the country over are using it and it
never disappoints.
Sold by druggists everywhere and
by Peil, the druggist for so cents a
large bottle. May 16 &23

wear helmet equipped with five

employees in the shops. Only one
