THE WOMAN WITH THE
SERPENT'S TONGUE

She is not young, she is not old,
The woman with the Serpent Tongue.
The haggard cheek, the hungering eye,
The poisoned words that wildly fly
The famished face, the fevered hand
Who Sights the worthiest in the land,
Sneers at the just, condemns the brave
And blackens goodness in its grave.
In truthful numbers be she sung,
The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue,
Concerning whom Fame hints at things
Told but in shrugs and whisperings.
Ambitious from her fatal hour,
And scheming all her life for power.
With little left of seenly pride,
With venomed fangs she cannot hide,
Who half makes love to you to-day,
Tomorrow gives her guest away
Burnt up within by that strange soul
She cannot slack or yet control;
Malignant Tipped, unkind, unsweet,
Past all example indiscreet,
Hectic and always overstrung-
The Woman with the Serpent's Tongue.
To think that such as she can mar
Names that among the greatest arel
That hands like hers can touch the springs
That move who knows what men and
things!
That on her will their fates have hung
The Woman with the Serpent Tongue.

Johnson Opposed to Referendum On
Alien Land Act.
Sacramento, CAL, May 20.-Gover.
nor Johnson, after he had signed the
anti-alien bill, made the following
statement: 81 repeat what have said,
California for the first time has an
anti-alien bill. Any man who wishes
another kind of law may consistently
invoke the initiative. No man who
really wishes an alien land law will
sign referendum as to this law. If
another law is sought it may be done
by initiative petition, and in the mean
time the present law will be in opera
ton. To tie up the present law by
referendum means no law until No
vember, 1914"
The act will go into effect 80 days
from date. or on Aug. II.

REPLY
WELL RECEIVED.
Across Troubled PaciGc-State
Department Has Reassuring
Reports from Japan.

Japanese Ministers Said to Appreciate
Fully the Sincerity Of the Washing
ton Governments Efforts to Proven.
Discrimination Against the Mikado's
Subjects In the states-Jinso sentl-
ment Dying Out.
Washington, May 22, - Reports re.
ceived by the state department from
United States representatives in To.
kyo brought encouragement to the ad'
ministration in regard to the Japanese
situation. President Wilson has had
the greatest faith from the first that
some way for a diplomatic settlement
of the California alien land law con.
troversy woud be found, and latest de,
velopments have given him additional
ground for hope.
One Of the reports to the state de.
partment was from a diplomatic rep.
resentatlve Of the United States, who
discussed the situation informally
with members of the Japanese minis.
try following the receipt by them of
the American reply to Ambassador
Chinda's formal protest against the
California legislation. This report
brought to the president and Secre.
tary Of State Bryan expressions of a
confidence by the American represen.
tative that the Japanese ministers
fully appreciate the sincerity Of this
governments efforts to prevent a dis
elimination against Japanese subjects
through the California law and also
the domestic difficulties which the
United States officials have encoun.
tered in dealing with the state gov.
ernment involved.
The Japanese official attitude, as
voiced at this time, was not to hold
the American administration as strict
ly responsible for the California law,
as would have been the case had the
difficulties arising from the internal
structure of this government been
less conspicuous. The Japanese min
listers also conveyed the information
that an abatement of the lingo senti.
ment among the Japanese had been
noted by them.
Both the president and Secretary
Bryan were impressed by the tone of
this report, and their hopes for sat
isfactory adjustment of the contro.
versy through diplomatic channels
were strengthened.
Other persons in Washington more
familiar with foreign affairs and with
the far east have not shared the pres
ident's optimism, and frankly continue
to regard the present negotiations, in.
volving as they do the question of ma
tional honor for Japan, as marking a
crisis in the situation between Japan
and the United States, if not the en-.
tire western world.

THE GRIM REAPER

VIM. Betz, aged 81 years, former
resident of Washington township and
one of the pioneers of the State, died on
the evening of the 18th inst at his home
in Piqua.
Uncle Billy Betz, as he was familiarly
knewn here, settled in this county i'll
1886, locating in what is now Washing
ton township. He was a brick mason
by trade, and was employed here in the
construction of our present courthouse.
He is survived by three daughters
Miss Martha, at home; Mrs. Callie Case,
of Piqua, and Mrs. Fannie Dye, of Gin
cinnati, together with many other rela-
tives, including Mr.. and Mrs. T. J.
Blake and Mr.. and Mrs. John Gillespie
of this city. He was a brother of the
late Commissioner John and Perry M.
Betz of this city. Of his death the Piqua
Leader Dispatch says:
The news of his passing shocked the
entire community, for probably no other
man in the city was more popular than
Mr.. Betz was, and his friends were NUM-
bered by the score.
Mr.. Betz had voted the Democratic
ticket longer than any other man now
living in Piqua. The first presidential
ballot that Mr.. Betz cast was for Martin
Van Buren. From that election up until
last fall he had never failed to cast his
ballot for the Democratic nominee. He
remarked not long ago he was delighted
he had lived to see William Jennings
BRYAN at least in the cabinet. He was an
ardent supporter of Woodrow Wilson for
president and his election proved unu-
e,,o11,r rrrot;f1yif1cr tn Mr. Ratz
His passing will be generally mourn
ed, and the funeral will probably be one
of the largest held in this city.
