The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure i'll all its stages, and
that is C;.tarrh Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Cata,rh being
a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is taken internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous
surfaces Of the system, thereby de-
stroying the foundation of the disease,
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and assist
ing nature in doing its work. The
propretors have so much faith in it's
curative powers that they offer One

THE WEBB BILL.

Hon. E. Y. Webb, author of the
Webb bill recently passed by both
branches of Congress, in speaking
of the purpose of the bill is quoted
as saying:
1.-The bill is intended to withdraw
the protecting hand Of interstate
commerce from Intoxicating liquors
transported into state for use
therein in violation of the laws of
such state. Before the Wilson act
of 1890 any person had the right,
not only to have Intoxicating liquors
transported to him from without
the state, but also to sell such IL
quors in the original package. The
The supreme court in Leisy VS.. Har-
din upheld this right Of the con-
signee. The court later held in the
case of Rhodes VS.. Iowa that the
Wilson act deprived the consignee
of this right he had formerly had.
At present no state can Interfere
with an interstate shipment of IL
quor until it has actually been de-
livered to the consignee, but under
the Webb bill a state official is per-
mitted to seize a shipment consigned
to blind tiger, and try the case as
to whether it was intended to vio-
late the laws of the state"

CtI1NDA TO MEET BRYAN SOON
Not Much Talk Of War But Japs
Want Equal Treatment With
AmericanS-Expected
johnson TO Veto.

Toxic, May 23.-The japanese
are dissatisfied with the reply OF
the United States to the japanese
protest against the California land
bill, because 1t gives no leeway fol
arbitration. The American note de-
MES that the alien land act is a vio'
lation Of the existing treaty with
Japan. The foreign office today
cabled Ambassador Chinda to place
before the state department the In
depreciation of the treaty as 1t II
construed by Japan.
It was not expected here that
Governor johnson would sign the
land bill, and the general govern
ment would uphold California, but
to say that the treaty has not been
violated makes argument difficult.
The war talk emanating from Eu-
rope and reaching here by cable re-
garding the controversy between
Japan and the United States on
land ownership questions is not I'M
derstood in official circles here. The
atmosphere is calm and great re-
serve is shown.
The leading daily newspaper, the
Osaka Mainishi, finds amusement in
what it calls the American fear OF
Japanese aggression. 1t says: All
Japan wants for the Japanese Is
equal treatment with white men.
Japan's progress has reached the
point where she will no longer con-
sent to discrimination being shown
against her SUBJECTS"
The general hope is expressed here
that the reply sent from Washing
ton is not Americas final word, es-
pecially as the United States gov
eminent by its intervention in Cali
fornia inspired the belief here that
1t would adopt strong measures in
behalf of the Japanese. 1t is be-
lieved in Japan that the difficulty
eventually will be settled by diplo-
macy, but the question of how Japan
is to proceed next is puzzle to
the authorities.
Public opinion, however, seems to
be in favor of a demand for natural
ipation as the most feasible means
Of satisfying Japanese prestige.
