JOHNSON SIGNS BILL
REmPLYHANDEDjAPAN
SECRETARY BRYAN AND vISCOUNT
CHINDA TALK FOR HOUR.
REPLY IS CABLED TO TOKYO
Referendum Is Likely-Two Japanese
Leaders Arrive at San Francisco
to Investigate Opposition
of California. :.

Misunderstanding Bryan late
Monday handed Ambassador Chinda the
reply of the United States government
to the Japanese protest against the
California alien land legislation. The
ambassador Immediately cabled it to
Tokyo. No "inthnation as to the ma
ture of the reply was given out.
Upon learning through press dis
patches that Gov. johnson had signed
the Webb land act, Secretary Bryan
t~elephoned Viscount Chinda and in
vited him to come to the state depart
n:ent and receive the reply, which he
had been anxiously awaiting since the
presentation of his own note of May 9.
When the answer had been delivered
the secretary and the ambassador con-
ferrcd earnestly for an hour regarding
the general aspect Of the problem. OF
course, the opinions expressed were
tentative; as for his part, the ambas-
sador felt that he must be guided en-
tirely by the directions Of the foreign
Office at Tokyo, and he could only
surmise what might be the attitude OF
the officials at home. Meanwhile, it
was understood that both the Japanese
protest and the state departments an
swsr would be withheld from publica-
ton, for the present at least, on the
ground that it would be injudicious to
submit the delicate questions at issue
to heated discussion in the newspapers
and at poe.ible mass meetings.

MORAL INFLUENCE OF CLOTHES.

Let not the fippant speak lightly
of the suggestion that the way to re-
form women in prisons Is to give them
corsets and pretty clothes. The femi-
nine philosopher who propounded this
road to redemption was entirely sound
IN saying that there is no reform
without self-respect, and the relation
between self-respect and being well
dressed Is intimate, says the Philadei-
phia Record. 1t was another feminine
philosopher, one from Boston. who said
hat the consciousness of being well
dressed impaired a peace Of mind
which not even the consultations Of re-
ligion could give. The warden who
thinks a woman is no worse when a
corset is taken of her and no better
when one is put on. perhaps forgets
hat in his own prison the convicts do
not wear striped clothes. and the
wardens of some other penal institu-
lions are putting on the convicts plain
clothes under which 1t is possible for
a sense OF self-ressect to grow. The
cropping Of the hair and the lockstep
have been abolished from several pris-
ons to avert the psychological effect of
a personal appearance that Is incom-
patible with self-respect. There Is
more in this idea Of giving women
prisoners corsets and pretty clothes
than some of the ~penologists. social
reformers and physicians interviewed
thereon recognize.

A clergyman who preached to a con-
%gregation Of young people recently
selected as the subject of his dis
course, After Marriage-What?" and
gave several excellent practical sug-
gestions. One was that every mar
ried couple should recognize as
paramount duty their duty toward
each other. Another was that they
should keep up a honeymoon courtesy.
and still another that they should es-
tablish q home OF their own. BE II
ever SO humble" he insisted. "a
home Of their own should be the fxed
purpose Of every young couple after
marriage" 1t is a safe assertion
that no connubial venture conducted
on these principles will come to wreck
upon the rock of divorce.

ARIZONA ALIEN BILL A LAW
No Alien Can Own Land Unless He Be-

Phoenix, Ariz.-Gov. Hunt signed Ari.
zona's new alien bill. 1t prohibits any
alien, whether of Caucasian or Monaghan
descent, from owning land in Arizona
II he has not declared his intention Of
becoming a citizen. The law bars not
only Asiatics, who cannot become cit.
liens, but also many wealthy Mexicans
who live on the American side of the
line, but who have maintained their al.
legiance to Mexico. A vigorous fight was
made to have the bill apply only to
aliens ineligible to citizenship, that Mex.
lean holders of property in Arizona
would not be affected. There are few
Japanese holding property in the state,
but many Chinese hold titles, and these,
like the non-citizens among the Mex.
leans, will be required to dispose of the
real estate within five years. The law
exempts only mining claims held by
aliens or real property necessary to the
proper working Of mines.
