"It is with the highest respect for yourself and the president that I feel my duty to my state compels me to approve the action of the legislature." This Is the reply of Governor Ill ram V. Johnson to the plea of the national administration to delay ac tion on the anti-alien land law as It is set forth in a lengthy telegram sent to Secretary of State W. J. Bry an today. The statement follows: YioUted No Treaty llights. "We of Callofrnla believe firmly that In our legislative dealings with the alien land question we have vio lated absolutely no treaty rights; we have shown no shadow of discrimin ation; we have given to no nation the right to be justified la taking offense. So believing with a strong reliance upon the justice and the righteous ness of our cause and with due def erence and courtesy and with proper consideration for the feelings and the views of others we had hoped the authorities at Washington would have seen the question as we In this state have been forced to see It as bounden duty to Its oitUens to do that which the Interests of Ub peo ple demand; that which the consci ence of Its people approves; that which violates no treaty rights; that which presents no discrimination, an(j tnat which can give no just cause for offense. Call for nia People AKreed. "Yon have suggested to me delay but this question was very earnestly and fully presented by you to our legislature, and the legislature de termined to proceed. My province Is to approve or disapprove the law as presented. Our people as represent ed In the legislature have overwhelm ingly expressed their desire for the present alien land bill. The vote In the senate was 35 to 2, and In the assembly 72 to 3. With such unan imity of opinion, even did I hold oth er views, I would feel it my plain duty to sign the bill, unless some ab solutely controlling necessity de manded contrary action. Apparent ly no such controlling necessity ex ists. "It Is with the highest respect for yourself and the president that I feel my duty to my state compels me to approve the action of the legisla ture.

Don't Fall Into the "I'll Do It 8om Day" Habit. "Some day'' N the one day of the IMl'i that lins no place In the calendar and Is still the moM popular day for making disagreeable engagements. It Is the day (hat every Idle dreamer chouses to begin the monumental work that It Is to miiUe his fame ami for tune. Today Is always huddled, crowded, too hot or too cold, too wet or too dry. Today Is out of the question. Hut "some day" lies In the fur golden haze of the future that seems to have In It the Inlinite leisure of eternity. And so we defer till (lie more convenient sea son that never comes what ought to be done insliinter. without taking heed of our own feelings, our plausible ob Jeciions, ami permitting the creeping paralysis of overturn h debate that keeps the una from striking while tho Iron is hot. These prophecies that begin with "some day" uud u good resolution are rarely converted Into the past tense The man of action makes, his plans so berly ami lakes the facts where ho can get them that will help him to de cide what to do Hut when his mind Is once made up ho goes ahead without telling you much about It.
