NEW CHINESE PUZZLE
The Heathens Said to Have
Registered Twice in
Some Cases.
Then sold Their Papers-Certifi,a Il, ates
Can BE Had for Cash and Ar.
In Good Demand.

WAsHISGToN. May 6.-The internal
revenue officials have not received re-
ports from all the collectors charged
with the registration Of the Chinese
under the exclusion act. but it is ex-
pected final statement can be made
very soon. One matter that has given
the collectors a vast amount Of trouble
has been the efforts OF the Cinnamon to
register more than once. and it is not
certain that these efforts have not in
many instances been successful.
In the thlckly populated portions.
where the collection districts cover com
paratively small areas. the scheme has
undoubtedly been worked to consider
able extent. A Cinnamon living in New
York city would have no particular diff
Guilty in registering under another name
In any one or more Of the neighboring
districts, and as the photograph Of one
Chinaman might readily pass for an
other. the fraud is not easily detected.
Duplicate certificates are said to bring
good price among the Cinnamon who
are not entitled to register. and so the
demand for them is said to be more or
less lively.
Under the law those who register more
than once can be prosecuted for perjury,
as can their witnesses, and it Is the in
tention Of the officials to keep sharp
lookout for such violations OF the law.
1t is believed these Implications will ag
gregate anywhere from 30 to 80. or
even more.

IndivIdualise and Socialism,

Ever since man secured leisure enough
from the struggle for existence to think.
and especially to advise his fellows what
they ought to do. statesmen have been
divided into two classes -individuIIists
and socialists. The theory of individ-
ualism is that the purpose of government
is to give every man a fair chance to
make the most of himself by protecting
the life and possessions Of the individu.
ais from violence or theft. The socialis-
TIC theory is that a state or nation is a
great family, over which government is
to exercise paternal care. 1t may not go
as far as communism, which puts ali
earnings into common fund, but it
holds that the government ought to as
sist some Of the children by taking from
the others. An outgrowth OF these
ideas is the proposal to have telegraphs,
telephones and railroads owned and
managed by the government. The indi-
vidualist claims that in European states,
where this is done to some extent, the
results are not promising. The railroads
Of our country have been built and
mansyed on the individual plan. and We
have the largest and finest systems in the
world, among which the Burlington
route stands pre-eminent. For maps
and time tables of this famous line call
