Governor William d. Stephens said
In a recent letter addressed to Secre-

Governor Stephens expressed the
hope that the initiative measure now
being projected in the state to deny
Asiatics the right to all land pur-
chases or leaseholds would be accept
ed by the electorate by an over
whelming majority. While California
harbors no animosity against the
Japanese people, he said, the state
does not wish them to settle within
her borders and to develop a Japanese
population in her midst. He asked
that immediate negotiations be en-
tered into with Japan to make i'm
possible any further evasions Of ex.
listing immigration agreements and to
make such agreements as rigorous as
possible.
Control Will Be Absolute.
Twenty years ago our Japanese
population was nominal" the letter

SMALLER NATIONS

COURT VITAL ISSUE
JUST NOW.
EunU ROOT MAKES STATEMENT
Advises conferees at The Hague v. 8.
Tribunal 10 the Ideal Basis-lm.
portant az The Drawing Of
Our Constitution.

THE HAGUE.-The jurists compos-
ing the commission for the permanent
world court of justice, who are meet
ing at the peace palace in an endeavor
to draft a plan for an international
tribunal for submission to the league
of nations, have temporarily laid aside
a multitude of plans for the court and
plunged into discussion Of what they
considered the most important ques-
tion--the manner of the election of
the judges. The problem, which in
wolves the rights of small, as COM
pared with large nations, probably will
occupy several days.
Uphoids Small Nations Rights
Elihu Root, representing America,
pointed out the importance of decid-
ing how small nations should be ade-
quately represented on the panel of
judges. DR.. George Hagerup of Nor
way commended it was advisable that
all nations, great and small, should
have an equal voice and vote in the
selection of judges. The jurists seemed
convinced the small states would be
loath to take any part in court
dominated by the larger states.
This and other questions will hold
the attention of the jurists for per-
haps a month, by which time they
hope to have completed draft, ready
to submit to the league. AS Presi.
dent Woodrow Wilson, however, has
not called the Brussels assembly
there is some feeling of uncertainty.
Root Recalls v. S. History.
Mr.. Root takes the stand that the
supreme court of the United States
which is not elected, but appointed
for life, and functions without politi-
cal control, should be the ideal basis
of the world court. In brilliant
speech he explained that the prob
lens confronting the jurists were
comparable to the tasks of the lead
ers of the 13 American states draw.

had to calm the natural fear that the

The word Selah, which occurs so

desk, or something. Nothing serious,
but may need stitch or two" Then,
turning to Coward: 1T will depend
on you whether this affair gets to the
public-on you and Miss Wardin.
Make your own explanations" And as
soon as you are able to be about our
partnership will be dissolved"
Coward was ready enough to adopt
Dawes suggestion that their quarrel
should not come to the notice Of the
public, and Gladys Wardin, apparent
ly, kept her own counsel in the mat
ter. In time when firms were going
out of business without even the for
mality Of an assignment, and others
were being absorbed by their competi-
tors, the dissolution of the Coward &
Eden establishment occasioned no
more than passing notice. The ex-
PLANTATION, "for business reasons"
given to the newspapers, seemed suffi-
cient.
Irene Hardy found herself in a po-
sition Of increasing delicacy. Since the
day Of their conversation in the tea
room Dave had been constant in his
attentions, but, true to his ultimatum,
had uttered no word that could in any
way be construed to be more or less
than platonic. She had now no doubt
that she felt for Dave that attachment
without which ceremonies are without
avail and with which ceremonies are
but ceremonies. And yet she shrank
from surrender. And she knew
that some day she must surrender.
The situation was complicated by
conditions which involved her mother
and Coward. 1t was apparent that
Conward's friendship for Mrs. Hardy
did not react to Dawes advantage.
Coward was careful to drop no word
in Irene's hearing that could be taken
as a direct reflection upon Dave, but
she was conscious of an influence. a
magnetism, it almost seemed, the
whole tendency of which was to pull
her away from Eden.
Mrs. Hardy had invested practically
all her little fortune in her house. The
small sum which had been saved from
that unfortunate investment had been
eaten up in the cost of furnishing and
maintaining the home. Doctor Hardy,
in addition to his good name, had left
his daughter some few thousand dol
lars Of life insurance. and this was
the capital which was now supplying

asked, cheerily. "Our train goes in"
He took his watch from his pocket
and consulted it.
Dawes eyes were fixed on the girl.
He wondered whether, in this testing
moment, she would fight for herself or
lean weakly on him as her protector.
Her answer reassured him. @
ut makes no difference when Il
goes, Mr.. Coward. I'm not going on

but there was no weakness in it. The
money which Dave had given her was
still crumpled in her hand. She ad-

held the bills before him.. Here is

Don't make me call you liar as

The word cut through Conward's
mask of comDOsure "Now by God! I
won't take that from any mani" he
shouted. and with a swing of his arms
threw his coat over his shoulders.
Dave made no motion, and Coward
slowly brought his coat back to posi-

"Oh. will leave" said Miss Wardin,
with alacrity. "And I hope he soaks

closed behind her.
But by this time Coward had as
