The flvst cm of 4 '? ?? nrobili't 01s
light was Saturday fired in the State
senate. Upon Senator Appelt 's bill
to impose a license of $.r),000 upon
liquor drummers the discussion as
sumed wide proportions, reaching out
to the other prohibition questions be
fore l"ho legislature this year. With
barely a quorum present Senator
Clifton of Sumtef held the (l<;or for
neatly two hours, sneaking first upon
the question of the Dili and then upon
the question to indefinitely postpone.
Senator Kelloy had succeeded in
having his bill to repeal the lien law
which has passed the house, made a
special older for Wednesday after
third reading bills. Senator Gra.vdon
had had his bill to regulate the cliarg*
es for carrying passengers on rail
roads in this State made a spee'.il or
der for Thursday. Senator Lide had j
brought about the same result for bin
measure on State-wide prohibition or
was about to do so when there arose
n storm of protest against making any
bill a special order. The great fight
on this question arose on Senator
Otts' bill to prohibit the manufacture,
sale, etc., of whiskeys, etc., known as
the prohibition bill. It had been
made a special order alter a motion
to table this motion had been lost,
but after some more discussion Sena
tor Hardin's motion to "discharge all
special orders prevailed and these
bills are now at their regular places
upon the calendar.
The casus belli was Senator Ap
pelt 's bill to provide for a license of
$.>,000 in each county of the State for
Ihe conducting of the business of sol
iciting whiskey orders.
Senator Appelt explained the pro
visions of his bill. Under the present
law whiftkey drummers can come in
and solicitc orders and are not licens
ed. However, they can not sell tho
whiskey in this State nor can they de
liver the goods here.
Among the bills introduced were
these of general interest :

2383 and 23.84, code of laws, with ref
erence to renunciation of dower.

Carolina, 1902, volume 1, with refer
ence to renunciation of dower and the
record thereof.
The House put upon third rending
numerous bills of the uncontested
class and cleared the calendar of
much of its burden. The* fallowing
are a few of general interest :
Senator Johnson ? Allowing bene
ficiary student ft f the Citadel to be
relieved of the obligation to teach in
certain cases.
Mr. Carey-1? Allowing for testimony
of female witnesses in assault cases.

and nay vote of 91 to 5 M. L. Smith's

The California Anti-Jap Bill
Conflicts.
ROOSEVELT SOUNDS A WARNING
Fearing (he Result of Anti-Japaneae
School Legislation the President
Bote Forth the Federal Govern*
ment'e Side of the Oaie,
Washington, Bpoolol,? "The policy
of the adtnlnUl ration is to combine
the maximum of efficiency in aohiev
ing tho real objcct which tho people
of tho Pacific slope have at heart*
with the miniinum of friction and
trouble, while tho misguided men whd
advocate such action oh this against
which I protest, are following a policy
which combines tho very minimum o?
efficiency with the maximum of insult,
and which, while totally failing to
achieve any real result for good, yet
might accomplish an infinity of
harm. "
In this laguago President Roose
velt Monday in n long telegram to .
Speaker Philip A. Stalon, of tho CftIU_
fornia Assembly,' act forth the govern
ment's view of t|io anti-Japanese
school legislation now before that
body.
Tho President said in part:
"I linst t hero will bo no misunder
standing of the Federal government's
attitude. AVe nro jealousy endeavor
4ttg-to guard tho inf/rest of Califor* .
nib and of the en tiro West in aocord-_.
ance with tlio desires of our Western
people. liy friendly agreement with
Japan we are now carrying out a pol?
ley which, while meeting tho intorcsti
and desires of the Pacific Klopo, is yet
compatible not merely with mutual
self-respect, hut with mutual estcom
and admirntion between tho. Ameri
cans and Jn panose.
"The Japanese government is loy
ally and in good faith doing its part
to carry out this policy, precisely as
the American government is doing.
This policy aims at mutuality of obli
gation and behaviour. In accordance
with it 'the purpose is that tho Japan?
ese shall come here axaclly as Ameri
?? jt iim n<i lo Japan, v.'h-ich in ;;; effect '
that travelers, students, persons en
gaged in international business, men
who sojourn for -pleasure or study,
and the like, shall h avo tho freest n?; ?
cess from one country lo the other,
and shall he sure of the best treat
ment, but that Ihero shall bo no set- .,
t lenient in mass by the people of eith
er country in the other.
"During the last six months under,
this policy more Japanese hove left
the country than have como into its
and the total number in the United
States has diminished by oyer 2,000.
These figures are absolutely accurate ~
and cannot be impeached. In other
words, il' the present policy is con
sistently followed and works as well
in I ho future as it is now working,
all difficulties and causes of friction
will disappear, while at the same time" "
each nation will retain its self-re
spect and the good will of the othor.
But such a bill ns this school bill
accomplishes literally nothing what- -
ovpr in the line' of the object aimed
at and gives just and grave cause for
irritation ; while in addition the Unit
ed States government would bo oblig
ed immediately to take action in the- -?
Fedcrnl courts to test such legislation
as we hold it to be clearly a violation
of the treaty. -
