As a real estate man I am pleased
with the special interest which you
have taken in real estate. As a private
citizen, l am thankful that you have
brought forward so prominently, in
your paper, the subject of homes.

me, I would like to speak, briefly, of a

view of centrally located real estate

the truth IS, as has been well ex-

Minister WI Ting Fang declares that
American editors are not fair in dis
cussing the question of Chinese exclu-
sion. Mr. WI says that one would think
from the arguments presented that the
900, 900, 600 inhabitants Of China would
swarm over to the United States in q
body if the exclusion law were repeal
ed. The bars should not be let down
entirely. Some examination of the
character of immigrants into their pre-
vious history, their character, their
knowledge of our institutions and their
future intentions as to citizenship and
occupation should be made, but this is
an entirely different thing from exclud-
ing all persons of Chinese birth, simply
/ because we despise China and the
Chinese and fear that their presence
among US would lower our ideals and
| injure our business.

A GREAT DISCOVERY

Professor c. c. Wynn, whose death
follows the announcement Of his Won
derful discovery of a new process of
securing gold from low grade ore, may
have achieved a posthumus fame. Ger
tainly, if his discovery is what it pur-
ports to be, he has added an untold
amount to the worlds wealth.
Whoever obtains two grains of gold
where formerly one only could be OBJ
tanned, has accomplished an act of
magic that will affect the great mining
industries of the entire world.
Professor Wynn certainly convinced
William Teller, brother of Senator Tel
Ter, and former Judge Williams, both
prominent attorneys and capitalists, of
the value of his discovery and they will
build a plant to carry on the work.
