BAR THE CHINESE.

Revelations Of the atrocities of the
Chinese practiced upon white girls OF
Minneapolis few weeks ago has
reused the country to action and the
government last Of all to realize the
need of rapid movements, has ordered
an inspection at all ports for the pur-
pose of locating and deporting all Chi
namen who cannot show correct papers
emitting them to entrance to this
country.
1t ought not to be necessary for any
newspaper to chronicle Chinese afro
cities N America. The laws Of this
country ought to make it Impossible
for a colony of the yellow rasca1s to
train white girls In vice. enjoying with
out interference the fruits of their de-
viligh cunning. Yet 1t Is so.

inspection along the border towns be-

declared that since the revival OF the
exclusion law the government had
been almost helpless in keeping them
out. They stroll across the border on
the roofs of coaches, huddled their oily
bodies beneath the brakebeam and

Two" mysterious strangers made Their.
appearance in this city two weeks ago
and quietly gave it out that they were
government inspectors bent on ascer-
tanning how many Chinese In Duluth
were without proper papers. They
asked no help from any of the federal
Officers, did not seem inclined to en-
list the aid of the local police DEPART

remarkable fact that in two or three
joints OF this city which contained
from three to ten Cinnamon before the

proper showing to the inspectors.

Simultaneous raids of Chinese
establishments should be made all over
