Hiram Johnson's Signature.

With an appearance of deliberation
Governor Johnson signs the Alien Land
Bill, amended to harmonic with our
treaty obligations. By so doing he ex-
poets to gain favor with his fellow dema-
gogueS for an affront to Japan, but the in
civlity is not only to Japan. 1t is 10 the
Government OF the United States.
What was asked by the President of
Governor Johnson and his Legislature
was not recognition of the treaty rights
of the Japanese. They were secure and
beyond the possibility of serious IN
vason bv any body. The re quest de-
livered by Secretary Bryan in most con-
ciiatory words was that no action at all
be taken pending the adjustment Of the
whole question BY diplomacy
Thus, while California recognizes a
treaty as the supreme law of the land
which it knows that it must obey, it de-
cines to heed the wishes Of a National
administration, courteously expressed in
a matter which the nation itself must
finally adjust With States, as with indi-
viduals, those that are inconsiderate of,
or false to their own households, are
likely sooner or later to regret their folly.
The whole Japanese question will APP
pear again presently, under the treaty
making power. in court made up of
IS States as judges, where California with
all of its bad manners will count only as
one.-New York World,

WATCH THE SENATE |

The hgh-tariff lobby at Washington
has concentrated upon the Senate, says
the New York World editorily in recent
issue. Why?
President Wilson, pledged to take mo-
nopoly and graft out of the laws carried
forty of the forty-eight States and was
elected by ASS of the 53I electoral votes.
There was no chance for the lobby in that
situation.
In the House of Representatives, COM
ing directly from the people, are 29I
Democrats under promise 10 attack privi
lege and plumber, and only I44 Republi-
cans of every variety. Plainly enough,
that was another unpromisng field for the
lobby.
In the Senate, however, the margin
narrows and the hopes Of the lobby rise.
The Democrats commissioned by States
and people to reduce the cost of living
and check the trusts and combines num-
Der ST. the Republicans Of all kinds. as.
So one of the greatest of political revo-
lutions. carrying a plurality of Ass, 900
at the polls and phenomenal maiorites IN
the Electoral College and the House Of
Representatives., expresses itself in the
Senate by majority of six-and that I'M
certain. Ifthe Republicans hold together
it will be necessary for the lobby to detach
but four Democrats to gain majority and
defeat reform which few months ago
seemed irresistible.
Here is the weak spot in the peoples
lines and here with unerring sagacity the
sappers and miners of the protected
trusts are already at work Watch the
Senate Watch the lobby
