State of Washington
Bars Alien Landowners.
WASHINGTON, May 14 I. M.
Howell, Secretary of State for the
State, of Washington. In a statement
published here expresses surprise that
the proposed California alien land
laws are being regarded as presenting
a Hew situation. Such laws have been
in force in Washington, he declares,
for many years.
"The State of Washington,” lie says,
"does not permit the holding, pur
chase or inheritance of land by alien.-*.
During the territorial days, Washing
ton was disturbed by the Chinese
riots and the land lavs were the re
sult. In some cases property was
confiscated by the State. Our alien
land laws are far more drastic than
those proposed In California.”

He Meant Well
At Any Rate.
"I was amused last Bunday after
noon." said a gentleman who lives
In Ormewood, "by a little incident
which happened on a Soldiers’ Home
car on which 1 was a passenger. 1
was on my way home and when the
•car sta led from the coiner of De
catur and Peachtree Streets it was
pretty well crowded. Several of the
rear s^ats were occupied by negro
men. Half a dozen blocks out the
car stopped and a negro woman got
on. She was dressed in the latest
fashion—hobble skirt and all and she
had some difficulty in negotiating the
car steps.
"She got aboard. however, and
caused a stir among the negro* men
passenger?. They recognized her as
some ‘tony’ cook going visiting to
show off her flashy Sunday clothes
I and they bestirred themselves to
show her every courtesy.
“One of the negroes jumped up
from his seat and waved an eloquent,
hand in the direction of the vacated
place.
" 'Take dis seat.' he said, with a
winning smile.
" Thanks so much,’ was the lan
guid answer, 'but I don’t wish to de
prive you-alls.'
" ‘No depravity—no depravity,’ ejac
ulated the other, and half the car
was convulsed."
The Laziest Man
Was This One.
"I have heard of lazy persons,” said
the drug clerk, "hut the worst was
one that a well-known physician told
me about the other evening when he
dropped in here to get some supplies
for his medicine chest.
"According to the doctor this man
lived down in Arkansas in one of
the small river towns. He was the
proprietor of a general store.
"One afternoon he was sitting down
behind the counter reading the last
Issue of the country weekly wnen a
customer came in. The customer
was a woman. She wanted a piece
of red calico, and had a sample of
the goods to show exactly what she
did want.
‘‘‘Uncle George,’ said she. ‘I wan-
ter git some goods like this here.
Is you got. any?’
" I reckon I is,’ said Uncle George,
'but sposin’ you-alls comes around
to-morrow when I'm a-standin’ up
an’ l wait on you. ”

Durand Likely to Serve His Full
Term as Director of the
Census.
WASHINGTON. May 14.—Sattafled
that Republican opposition to the
confirmation of W. J. Harris, of
Georgia, gs Director of the Census,
will continue to manifest itself in
filibusters until July 1. when the
resignation of E. Dana Durand, now
Director of the Census, becomes ef
fective. Democrats were ready to-day
to declare a temporary truce.
| This fight is the first real battle on
a Wilson appointment.
Republicans assert that the Harris
appointment is political and that Du
rand should be permitted to serve out
his term.
The rules of the Senate permit one
member tc conduct a filibuster with
out limit. The determination of Sen
ators Burton, Townsend, LaFollette
and Cummins to stave off Harris’
confirmation Is apparent.
