As Il common sense proposition. Why
should the president be compelled 10
select men for minor offices? Tnc
United States is such q great nation
that it should be run on strictly bus
ness principles. the same as any other
corporation. Who. for instance. would
approach the president of Il large rail-
road corpora lion with an application
for Il post OF station master. or train
master, or conductor, or any other pc
sition of a similar character? And yet.
that is almost precisely what occurs
every day with the president of the
United States. II I were president, 1

vice of my own When l came to mako

Roosevelt for a College Presidency

If the Springfield Republican is cor
rect, the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt viii
never embarrass the people who are
forever bothered by the question,
What shall we do with our ex-presl-
dents?" Mr.. Roosevelt, it seems, has
already planned his life-work after he
leaves the office of chief magistrate.
He hopes 10 be president of Harvard
Our Springfield contemporary says:
What Harvard will do for a presi7
dent when DR.. Eliot gets through has
long been Il source of speculation. lie
will be 60 years old the goth, but in
vigor and force and youth DR.. Eliot IL
without u superior among university
or college presidents and good yet for
many years. There is an interesting
suggestion current among Harvard
men who know Theodore Roosevelt
well. 1t is that the president of the
United States cherishes a strong aIr-
bition, when he has finished the second
term in the White House, which he eX-
poets the American people are to secure
for him, to become president of Har-
ward university.
This is a suggestion calculated 20
arouse lively interest in Harvard, and
college circles generally. none the less
because it is dealing in distant futures.
To be sure, the thought of putting Mr.
Roosevelt at the head of the Cambridge
institution would directly contravene
DR.. Eliot's stout contention that the
prizes Of college presidencies ought to
go to the teaching profession, but We

Defects in tile Exclusion Law.

1t seems to be extremely difficult to
frame a law which the artful Chinese
cannot evade. Recent reports of United
States commissioners show that one OF
the weak features of the existing law
is the clause permitting American born
Cinnamon to pass back and forth be-
tween China and the United States.
Applications for admission into this
country are steadily growing in number
from Chinese who assert that they
were born in San Francisco.
During the last three months $40
Cinnamon have applied for admission
ground of being native born citizens of
the United States, returning to the
country after visit to China. OF this
number 265 have been admitted, and
eighty-four have been ordered de-
ported, only twenty-nine have actually
been sent back, and the remainder are
still on this side of the ocean, awaiting
u decision on the appeal which they
have taken from the decision of the
commissioner
The two weak points in the law
which officials consider to be demon
strated in this showing are, first tina;
the burden of proof to show that d
Chinaman claiming former residence in
the United States by nativity is not
entitled to admission iS pIocad on t,1a
government az the United States. When
this plea is set up. it is declared to be a
most difficult legal task to disprove 1t.
The second demonstration of weakness,
cerned, is that, while the Cinnamon
excluded can take an appeal from the
decision of the United States commits
sioner, the government has no appeal.
There is great significance in the
large number of Cinnamon making APP
plication for admission to the country
under the pretence of being natives OF
the country, and greater significance in
the success of the great majority OF
these applicants to gain admission to
the country as United States citizens.
An official of the immigration bureau
has expressed himself on the subject
as follows:
IF the proportion established during
the last three months is kept up, 1t
simply means that Chinatown in San
Francisco, the place of birth claimed
by most of the applicants, has been
greatly underestimated as to popuia-
ton. 1t certainly is as populous as
Canton, China, according to the presen,
showing"
| The two measures which will doubt
less be suggested to congress to remedy
| these defects will be, first, TO make the
| Chinaman claiming admission under
! this clause of the law establish his
claim and prove his nativity instead of
placing the burden of proof on the gov
eminent, and the second is to ALLOW IL
government appeal. where thought az
