pending sentences during good beha-

suits. That the legislature will at the

JAPS TAKE KINDLY TO
The ALIEN LAND LAW
At Least Have No Amnesty
To U. S. Government

Washington, D. c., May 22.-Reas-
surfing advices reached the state de-
partment fran Japan yesterday indi-
eating that the American reply to the
protest against the California land law
was received in good spirit by the
Toxic government and that the Japan
csc had taken on a more favorable APP
pearance than at any time since ne
gotiations began.
Officials here admitted their salts
faction over the turn of events.
The dispatches related also that the
Japanese government realized fully the
difficulties under which the Washing
ton administration had labored in hau-
ding this situation, understanding
the dual system of government in the
United States and the powers of legis-
lation held by California
Today's advices were of prelimin-
airy character and made no predic-
ton of ensuing steps, but in general
they reflected a favorable view in To-
kio of the American note replying 10
Japans protest.
President Wilson, who had no small
part in the writing of the note, is said
t. have declared in most compliment,
airy terms what he believed to be the
real feeling of the majority of the
American people toward Japan. The
communication, it is said, pointed TO
California, and only a part of Calf
fornia, too, as having given evidence
of a discriminatory disposition and
insisted that the United States as
whole admired the progress that ia
pan had made in the last half century
respected the achievements of the
Japanese people and was sincere "
anxious to show that it rega=uvu Ja-
pan on a basis of equality with all
other powers and antions. .
The note was about 1000 words long,
and dealt chiefly with the spirit of the
American people toward japanese,
making little reference, it is under
stood, to the technicalities Of the new
law, or the treaty, but discussing Ja-
pans contention that the California
agitation was in reality an act of I'M
friendliness and discrimination agaist
the Japaese officials here were not
in the least opposed to publication q
the document, but decision on this
point was left with the Toxic govern
ment. @r -" M .. p.
While the situation tonight was re.
garded as satisfactory in official guar
tiers, the Japanese, are watching with
keen interest Officials generally, how
ever, were. inclined to hope that the
acute stage in the negotiations had

1911, presents some facts which are
startling in the extreme.
"Of 1868 penitentiary convicts on
June list, 1911, 1904 were between the
ages of 20 and go years-practically 50
per cent. 1t is hard to believe that out
of this large number, practically all
young men, nearly all first offenders,
the judges of the state could not have
found hundreds who might have been
reclaimed by being given, under the
guardianship of the law, anothe"
chance. Punishment, no less certain
because deferred, held over them; but

USE OF CALOMEL
PRACTICALLY STOPPED
Dangerous Drug Giving Way For A
Safer, More Reliable Remedy.

Hundreds of people in this vicinity
alone have stopped the use of danger
Ious calomel when their liver is acting
slowly, and take Dodson's Liver-Tone
instead
Dodson's Liver-Tone is always safe
and has none of the bad after-effects
which so often follow the use of calo-
mel. 1t is a pleasant-tasting vege-
table liquid that starts the liver gent
ly and surely, and relieves constipa-
ton and biliousness and causes no re-
striction of habit or diet.
Many preparations have sprung up
that initiate the claims made for Dod-
sons Liver-Tone, but remember
Dodson's Liver-Tone is the tried and
tested remedy that has proven such
6 good medicine and is so satisfactory
to every user-is the reason these imi-
tations are on the market.
Dodson's Liver Tone cannot hurt
any one and if it fails to do all that is
claimed for it Howell-Prather's Phar-
macy, who sell it will give your money
back with smile.

SENATE GETS DOPE
FROM MEXICAN GENERAL
He Declares Intervention
Would Be UDWiSe

Washington, D. c., Aug. Col.
Eduardo Hay, chief of staff of the
constitutionalist forces in Sonora,
gave to the senate foreign relations
committee today detailed account
of his views on conditions in Mex
leo. The constitutionalist movement. :,
he declared, controlled at least two
thirds of Mexico.
Though he made no recommends
tons, Col. Hay insisted that inter
vention by the United States would
make things worse and that any me-
diation which recognized the govern
ment of Provisional President Huer-
ia was impossible.
His idea of the solution of the
situation was to lift the embargo on
arms, so that the constitutionalists
could carry on more active cam
paign.
Then, he declared, the troubles Ii
Mexico soon would be settled.

LOAN SHARKS BLEED
POOR PEOPLE OF STATE
Law Should be Provided to
Protect Them

Atlanta, August THE current is.
sue of Frost's magazine, THE Call Of
the South" calls the attention of the
Georgia legislature in striking Ian.
guage to the prevalence of the loan
shark evil in Georgia and the crying
need of some legislative relief for the
poor and unfortunate from this spc-
cies of oppression.
The editorial in question calls at
tention to the authentic case of a
clerk who showed in the Fulton su-
perior court that he had paid the loan
sharks over $1,000 of usurious inter-
est ON an original loan of $3.50, and
that he still owed the principal.
The editorial says in conclusion !:
MANY years ago there was law on
the statute books which provided that
where usury was charged the entire
debt should be forfeited, and if the
legislature will re-enact this law, and
provide in addition that the loan shark
must serve a sentence on the chain
gang, this wicked traffic will be speed
lily broken up.
