CAPITAL JOURNALS
WORK APPRECIATED

The Capital Journal has received
many nice compliments for the big
space devoted to the Moose carnival
and to the many beautiful cuts provid-
ed by it. Well, The Journal likes to be
appreciated and at the same time never
shutters about expressing its apprecia-
tion of others. 1t appreciates the good
work done for Salem by the Moose or
der and has done and will continue to
do all it can to back up the good work
of that order. There is nothing too
good in or around the Capital Journal
office, for the Moose, or for that mat
ter any other order or individual who
is boosting for Salem in any way.

and in the meantime the present act
will be in operation.
"To tic up the present law by refer
endum means no law until November
1914.
"Those who are sincere in their op-
position 20 anti.alien law or believe the
present act is not drastic enough are
consistent if they take steps to invoke
the initiative. But the referendum
would tie up the law we now have,
without putting anything in its place
until 1914, leaving the state open in
the meantime to colonization by the
aliens against whom this legislation is
aimed"
Governor johnson would not hazard
an opinion on what he expected to be
the result On the international situation
of his approval of the Webb measure,

Even though the standings of these

too late TO enter the contest. Right

ALIEN LAND BILL
BECOMES THE LAW
Governor Has Nothing to Say
Only Being Opposed to In
voking Referendum
LAW NOT STRONG ENOUGH
He Says Those Directing to the Law
Should Use the Initiative So as
Not to Leave State Helpless,
UNITED PRESS LEASED wIRH.l


Sacramento, Cal, May 19.-Governor
johnson signed the Webb -Birdsall anti
alien land bill shortly before noon to-
day. The law prevents the ownership
of agricultural lands in California by
japanese or other aliens ineligible to
citizenship, although it permits three
year leaseholds which may be renewed
by rotation.
With the signature by the governor
of the anti.alien bill today, California,
despite threats of diplomatic breach
with Japan and the most urgent pro-
tests from the national administration,
has taken the final step in enacting a
law to prevent the acquisition of her
agricultural land by Asiatics The seal
of the state has been set to the policy
of excluding from her lands aliens who
are non-assimilable.
In connection with his approval of
the measure, Governor johnson had lit
tie TO say. He appeared to be far more
concerned about the threatened calling
of referendum to suspend the act,
leaving the state without bar against
further acquisition Of lands by Japan
ees until November, 1914, than about
the effect his action might have in
Washington or Toxic.

City Is Beautifully Decorated
and Fair Weather Prom
ised for the Event.
HOWDY, PAP, IS GREETING
Tuesday Will Be Big Day and Each
One Still Bigger, Until the Lights
Go Out Saturday.

With all the decorations in place, the
carnival shows on the grounds and ev-
cry committee of the Moose lodge work
ing diligently to perfect the fraternal
part that will be played, the Moose
carnival will break forth with much
enthusiasm tomorrow. The carnival
shows will be the Mecca for the live
people of Salem and elsewhere tonight,
notwithstanding the fact that the
amusement people have not as yet en-
tirely completed preparations, and
from the manner in which not only
members Of the Moose lodge, bet 9th.
ers, are manifesting enthusiasm over
the event, Salem will show some ex.
traordinary life this evening.
Never before has the city been so
beautifully decorated. Extra flags have
been strung from the span wires across
the thopo--- {" Y sanG the business
.,men are responding admirably by dec
Grating their places Of business with
popular colors. The big moose head
and the familiar words: "Howdy,
Pap" appear on every show window,
which has available space.
AS is customary during the first
day Of festive events, which last a
week or longer, amusement and. pro-
gram features are not in full sway.
Even the state fair fails to draw a
banner crowd on the first day, and not
until the second or third day do the
crowds begin to arrive. Tomorrow
should see many new faces in the city,
while Wednesday, will undoubtedly
bring many outsiders to Salem. By to-
morrow everything will be in readiness
to entertain both visitors and Salem
ties, and it is hoped that we will have
the pleasure of the presence Of many
people from other cities on that day,
Time of Sports Changed.
Due to the fact that the time sched.
ued to hold the sporting contests in
terfered with the time during which
all school children are in the midst of
their studies, and that the young Amer
leans of Salem would not have an op'
portunity to indulge therein for this
reason Mr.. Wolf and Mr.. Coursey, the
members Of the sports committee, an
nounced today that during the re
maiDder of the week, the contests
will be pulled off at 4 O'Clock in the
afternoon, instead Of 10 o'clock in the
morning, as first announced. Delaying
the sports to this hour will give every
school pupil an opportunity to contest
for the splendid prizes offered.
The sports committee will call up
on the principals Of the different school
this afternoon and request them Il
make the announcement to the differ
ent rooms to the effect that tn
sports will be held at O'Clock p m
on Court street, in front of the Moos
building, at the corner Of Court an,
high streets.

Washington, May l9.-Talking with
remarkable freedom upon every phase
of the Japanese California land contro-
versy which were "loaded with diplo-
matte dynamite" President Wilson in
his conference with the newspaper cor
respondents here today unreservedly
gave his ihterviewers complete "inside
information" of the controversy, as he
sees it.
The president declared that both he
and the Mikado expect an early and
amicable arrangement Of the California
land dispute. He said there was no
crisis or near.crisis, little anxiety and
no interference by foreign powers in
the present diplomatic negotiations.
After talking freely upon the "dyna-
mite" phases Of the controversy, the
president invoked the ban Of secrecy
upon certain more delicate subjects. He
gave orders that the newspaper men
must not print his opinions, which, he
said, were "purely FeEsopRlu upon the
causes which had inspired Japan to
take its present stand.
War Talk Is Foolish.
President Wilson indicated that he
was following out his confidence
plan" in order to end any misunder-
standing and to make it plain that no
issue has been raised in the controver-
sy which is not possible Of peaceful So
luton. lie believes that the sources Of
the Japanese war talk are purely con-
iectural Reports of the American
charge d'Affaires at Toxic minimize
reports Of anti.American sentiment
there. How far the "official" Japan
ESQ opposition to the California land
law has gone was not definitely to be
ascertainel from the presidents talk,
but IL is certain that he feels that Jap
an appreciates Americas friendly Of
flces, which in the past have been ex.
erted in her behalf.
The president indicated to tho re-
porters that Secretary Bryan will not
reply to Japan 8 protest until Governor
johnson has signed the anti-alien land
bill. lie said that neither nation is in
clined to be hasty in the matter, but
that both are anxious TO proceed care
fully TO a solution, which viii mean in
creased friendship. He also declared
that no further negotiations with Gov.
ernor johnson are expected. The ten.
tativo draft Of the reply to japan Is
ready and is being held by Bryan un'
til Johnson's signature Of the bill
makes Its despatch to Japan timely
Getting Wrong Steer.
The disposition Of the powers to KEEP
their hands off the situation has in
tensoly gratified the president, who
feelo that 1t Is q matter "betweer
friends. "
Tho president understands that senti
ment on the anti.alien question is di
vided in California. He has been ad
yisod that the northern part Of th,
state is more strongly in favor Of ex
clusion or Of checking tho settlemen
Of Asiatics than is the southern par
of the state, and this feeling, IL is be
loved, has made him doubt that th
call for the Webb bill Is so strong a
nnnears ON tho faee Of things.
