oughly imbued with the spirit of pro-
gressivism which the Republican
party stands for. Senator Poindex-
ter's proposal for the immediate con-
struction of hundred additional sub
marines went directly to the heart OF
the situation and met the issue of the
German plan in term sof adequate
preparedness. The fate of the pro-
posal rests, of course, with Demo-

ONE CONTROVERSY AT A TIME

The anti-alien land bills in the leg
slatures OF Idaho and Oregon will
not be passed The determination OF
this country, in every State of the
Union, is to do nothing which will
add to the gravity of our international
relations. That these bills are with
in our rights and that they are nc
more drastic than the existing stat
utes of Japan, against whose subjects
they are chiefly aimed, is not to BE-
questioned But there are times when
to do all the things which are a ma
tion's right leads to consequences
which are unthinkable, This is one
of the times. Whatever of irritation
and of aggression may come now
should come from the other side.

stores, is in course OF preparation, and

The bill is said to have the support
of the clerks and merchants who are

its advocates believe that it will pass
A section in the proposed law provide;
that it shall apply only to cities o.
10000 population and over, making
its application extend to Reno only.
The bill places no limit upon the
time at which retail stores may open

that such places of business shall not
remain open in the evening after Sly
o'clock
