HALT IS MADE OUT OF RESPECT
 TO SEC. BRYAN

Sacramento, Cal, May 1.-Secretary Of State Bryan's acceptance of Gov. Johnson's invitation to make a short tour, today, through the farming cong munities of F1orin and Walnut Gro& VI in Sacramento county, caused the ma jority leaders in the Senate to amend their plans for bringing up. the anti alien land bill for final passage, this morning.
 At the suggestion of Gov. Johnson, it was agreed by the Progressive-Re- publican leaders that, out of courtesy to Secretary Bryan, nothing should be done in his absence until he had taken his formal and final leave of the Cali fornia capital. For that reason it was decided to take no action on the bill in the Senate until MT. Bryan came back from his excursion with the Gov ernor.

At the close of 8 banquet given in his honor by the di- rectors of the PanaIne-Pacific Inter national Exposition, he suddenly launched into a gIorification of the Golden Rule as applied to the Repub- lies of South America.
 '.I glory he said, ''that we now have an administration which will bring honFe to the republics of South Amer1ca our sense or national honor and which will herald to them our abandonment of dollar diplomacy.
 ''If you people will give to South America a dem monstration of American capital and enterprise the United States will give dollars in service for your dollars in goods. There is no limit to the possible expansion of the Golden Rule between South and North America.
 The Canal Zone should be the cen ter of American activities for two con- tinents. dream of an American uni versity there which should promuI- gate the expansion of peace and jus tice.'
 Los Angeles, May 1.-Rev. William Carter, of New York, general secre- tary of the International Peace Forum, left here, last night, for Sacramento, with the purpose of trying to prevail upon Gov.

In small families, where

where nice equipment is de-

SOME MONEY SAVED
Thanksgiving Dinner will Cost Less
this Year, Thanks to the DEM
ocratic Tariff

Washington, Nov. 22.-There's
real unalloyed joy contained in the
new democratic tariff, if positive
prophesies materialize-and a score
or more of wholesale and retail gro
GERS here have declared they will It
will cost every farmily in the United
States about one-half dollar less
year for the same kind of Thanks
giving dinner they had in 1912
And of course the saving will not be
possible only on the Thanksgiving
dinner. 1t applies to every meal, day
in and day out. Assuming that the
average family consists of five per-
sons, in a population Of 100000
people that would be 100000
/ families who will be be able TO save
! fifty cents each on Thanksgiving din
! ner alone, or a grand total of So
! 100000 saved by the United States
OF this feast day.
/ Here is the democratic dope" cal
ioulating that retail prices on
| Thanksgiving proyender will be re-
duced as much as the new tariff law
reduces import duties: On a To-
pound turkey, the tariff is cut 80
cents, providing that the imported
turkey was brought in dead. If one
ION the hoof," the saving would be
40 cents a head. That Canadian
turkeys will be imported this year
and force down the price, at least in
the East and New England, is ex-
pected.
The traiff on cranberries is reduc-
ed about 2 cents quart. Five quarts
of these for the ordinary family-ii
the tariff extends to the family gro
cery-would result in ten cents saw
, ing. The saving of another dime on
vegetables, most of which are on the
free list in the new law, is another
democratic calculation.
If wines are bought, the tariff will
not affect any Thanksgiving econo-
my. The same old duty of 80 cents
a quart remains on champagne I'M

are taxed As cents a gallon, as they
were before October 3. Oysters, lob.
r sters and other shell-fish are no
dutiable under the new law, neither
were they under the old Payne act
But plums for the Thanksgiving
pudding may be bought cheaper, a.
the duty has been reduced from
about % cents to 10 cents a bushel
The principal reliance for reduc
ton of the cost of the Thanksgivin:
dinner is placed by the democrats
however, on the reduced duties OF
poultry and vegetables. Last yea
only $50 900 pounds of poultry wer
imported, but under the new law, in
Guiding the 1913 Thanksgiving peri
cd importations of 100000 pound
are expected.
