ANNAPOLIS NEWS
GOVERNOR TELLS OF HIS
POLICIES.

Speaks Twice At Methodist Churches.
1t an address delivered in the lee
ture-room of First Methodist Episco-
pay Church, Baltimore, Governor
Goldsborough outlined his policies and
the reforms he hoped to bring about
in city and State. The occasion was
the annual dinner of Baltimore Dis
trict of the Epworth League, and there
We're fully 200 persons about the ia
bles in the church parlors. After
the repast the members of the league
proceeded to the lectureroom, and
here the Governor made his address.
The Governor made a similar speech
later in the evening at the annual
banquet of the alumni association Of
old Monument Street Methodist Epis-
copal Church, held in the lecture-room
of the edifice.
At First Church he began by re-
ferring to the improved conditions
generally and said the world was
growing better. The time was draw
ing near, ne thought, when it would
be easier to be good and harder to
be bad. Much depended upon the
young people, who could assist ma
terially in making Baltimore a bet
ter city. Directing his remarks to the
liquor traffic, the Governor said the
Board of Commissioners had a duty
to perform and he felt confident they
would discharge it. Speaking of the
saloons, the Governor then said:
There are about 1,45O saloons in
Baltimore City If | read the law
right, it means there shall be only
sufficient number to take care of the
conveniences of the people. No one
can tell me that there is need of all
those on Charles street near Union
Station, where there are as many as
six in row. Nor is it necessary to
have them lined along Lexington
street in the vicinity of the market.
There are some who believe the liquor
traffic cannot be regulated by law; per-
haps it cannot, but the law can see
to it that the temptation is not with
in easy reach of those who need all
the protection can be furnished.
Branching off, the Governor then
said
q am trying for prison reform. I
cannot stand for the practice of "cuf-
fng up" criminals. Capital punish
ment should be abolished from the
confines of Maryland I don't believe
in it. l have asked the Penitentiary
directors to stop it, and l believe
t.at after mature thought they will
do So
u don't believe in contract labor
in the Penitentiary My Judgment is
that the work done should only be for
State purposes and not come into COM
petition with free labor
Il don't believe the earnings of a
convict should be given to him, but
should be sent to his wife and chill
dren
Il believe in regulating the
tracks in order that bookmaki'
be prohibited. 1t is tine for
pie to stand up a.
against this sort of D.

lect it. It would have been a lasting
shame TO have lost this great institu-
ton"
Stating that his ideas were high
and that he could not carry them
through without help, the Governor
called upon the good citizens to take
greater interest in the governmental
affairs
In conclusion he asked his hearers
to take a greater interest in civic af-
fairs as upon them devolved the duty
of electing proper men to carry on the
public business.

Bryan NoncommittaI.

Jali lNSllNOUlIIiALdls
Washington.-Sec Bryan was
noncommittal when told of the Japa-
nese Governments instructions to
Ambassador Chinda He expressed
only the sentiment that it would be
time to consider formal representa-
tions after the laws in question had
been passed by the California Legis-
lature and were under consideration
by the Governor.
Representative Baker told Presi-
dent Wilson he had telegram from
Senator Sanford, Of California. con
tanning assurances that the alien land
bill, when finally passed. would not
have provisions to conflict with any
treaty obligations between the United
States and japan.
President Wilson has had one con
/ ference so far with Viscount Chinda
and probably Will have others in the
near future, in view Of the Ambassa-
doris latest instructions regarding the
California alien land-holding legisla-
ton
The latest instructions to the Am
bassador from Toxic are said to look
only to the continuance by the en-
bassy of the course it has pursued
from the beginning, of relying upon
moral suasion and a dignifed presen-
tation Of the unfortunate impression
produced in Japan by this unexpect
ed Renaissance of antiJapanese
feeling on the Pacific Coast.
( AS far rs can be gathered the Ad-
ministration has listened with sym
pathetic interest to these personal
representations, and while without
legal authority at this moment to
interfere with legislation in Califor-
MIA it has not hesitated to bring per-
sonal influence to cause the modiica-
ton of such features of the proposed
Legislation as threaten to lead to I'M
just discrimination against Japanese
citizens.
