Washington. April 24.-It developed
to-day that Secretary Bryan will face
possible embarrassment when he
reaches Sacramento because Of a plank
in the Democratic platform in 1905 re-
ferring TO aliens. Californians claim
that Mr. Bryan was sponsor for the
nlank and will now have to hedge" or
do some clever explaining. This plank
reads.
I'VE favor full protection by both
national and state governments within
their respective spheres Of all foreign
srs residing in the United States, under
treaty. but we are opposed to the ad-
mission Of Asiatic immigrants, who
cannot be amalgamated with our pop
ulation or whose presence among US
would raise a race issue and involve
US in diplomatic controversies with
orientsI powers
In view of the treaty with Japan
negotiated by Secretary Knox there
may be opportunity for debate, 1t is
urged. but altogether it is believed by
the Californians in Washington that
Nr. Bryan. as we'll as the whole Demo
cratic party, is in an embarrassing
position.
With the departure of the Secretary
of State for Sacramento at $40 O'Clock
tonight the President expressed con-
sdence that his mission would result in
materially relieving the tensity Of the
situation regarding the protest of
Japan against the proposed anti-alien
and legislation pending in the Cali
tornia Legislature. President Wilson
would not state the reasons for his
unguinity. but said that the prospects
ooked hopeful.
Bryan Sees Ambassador.
Secretary Bryan held a short con-
trence this afternoon with Niscount
Chinda. the japanese Ambassador. and
II is believed received fresh informa-
ton from the japanese Foreign Office,
but he would make no comment. Fol-
loving his conference with Ambassador
Chinda he talked with President Will
son.
Whether Secretary Bryan addresses
the legislators at a joint session OF the
two houses will depend upon circum-
stances. he said to-day He asserted
that his present plan was TO confer
only with the leaders Of the Legislature
and with Governor Johnson.
During the absence Of Mr.. Bryan the
Acting Secretary Of State will be John
Bassett Moore, counsellor of the De-
partment Of State. Mr. Moore will re-
oeive the diplomats who call at the
State Department and will handle all
the important business during Mr..
Bryan's absence.

ton OF the responsibility involved,
said the Secretary as ne left the White
House after a final conference with
President Wilson.
Wilson Explains Mission.
The President had explained earlier
in the day during his conference win

Of Mr.. Bryans visit was to take coun-

known that he considered the attitude

by Gable TO The Tribune. ]

London, April 25.-In an editorial to-
day on "Teetotal Diplomacy" The
Daily Express" says:
wv. J. Bryan not only suffers for his
principles and mort.fies his flesh. as he
mas every right TO do, but he insists
that others should suffer and be mort-
fed. This would be we'll enough if Mr.
Bryan were private citizen. but he is
minister of state. his guests are the
diplomats of foreign embassies. and
official invitations must be accepted,
lest continued refusal involve some
suspicion of International discourtesy.
Has. then, Mr. Bryan real moral
right TO send round the teetotal punch
bowl and condemn his enforced guests
to iced water? May not this new form
or tyranny lead to some horrid conse-
quence by upsettinE the digestion and
temper Of some old shioned diplomat >
There is moro in this than meets the
eye. even though the punch bowl be
without guile"

Washington. April Before William
Jennings Bryan accepted the portfolio OF
Secretary OF State he had an understand

matter to Mr.. Bfyan's discretion.
This fact developed to-day when Secre-

A SIGN OLE TIE TIMES.


AS a sign of the progressive spirit
OF South Bend school authorities. the
fac. that political meetings of all par
ties. democrats, republicans, progress
sives and citizens, yes and socialists,
are being held in the school buildings,
stands out significant.
In many cities OF the country it
would be absolutely impossible to get
permission to hold a partisan political
nseatiES ia a school house.
The social center movement, how
ever. is largely responsible for the
growth of the spirit all over the cOun-
try, that the buildings built by the
peoples money should be made just
as valuable as possible to all the peo-
pie. that every announcement should

The affront to the American gov

Huerta in declaring a dictatorship and

MRS. PANKHURsT's REMOTE.

Mrs. Pankhurst has sounded the
keynote of her campaign in the United
States Ii is that violent means of
securing woman suffrage are neces-
sary in England, but not in the United
States. incidentally Mrs. Pankhurst
is here 70 gather the sinews Of war
TO prosecute her cause at home.
The reason for the difference be-
tween England and America Mrs.
Pankhurst says is that nothing was
ever got from an English parliament
except through violence. The machin-
cry Of the British government is an
example of how TO do nothing. What
ever social legislation has been Sc
cured has been due to women's civil
war. and much OF il was granted TO
soften the spirits of the suffragets."
The peaceful means that have been
successful here were lauded BY Mrs.
Pankhurst and praised Pres. Will
son for mis- friendly attitude to-
ward suffrage. 1t may be presumed,
therefore. that the English militant
leader will be content with explaining
and justifying the methods OF the
English suffragists and collecting
funds to aid them in accomplishing
their purpose.
When it is recalled how men OBJ
tanned their rights in England Mrs.
Pankhurst's declaration that violence
alone can succeed in wrestling civil
rights for women in England seems
plausible but sunragists in the United
States should be careful 10 avoid con-
tracing such ideas in regard TO their
own country.
Mrs. Pankhurst will not hesitate to
advise violence if il should become
necessary but the occasion for il is
never likely 10 arise except in the
minds OF the fanatical. Should their
attitude be adopted the United States
government and the government OF
the states might be found as stubborn
as the English parliament
