gEEgcr on rAE HAY NorE.

Both Russia and Japan have ac-
cepied the terms OF Secretary Hays
note, with certain exceptions. They
agree TO the preservation Of Chnas
territorial integrity with the exception
OF Manchuria. The burden Of this
compact now rests upon the two bell
ligerent powers. and it viii not make
the United States In any degree respon-
siblc The wise move by Mr. Hay has
simply resulted in an agreement on
the part Of Russia and Japan to pre-
serve the Chinese Empire
This means that the fighting ground
viii probably be limited to Corea and
Manchuria, unless Russia should de-
velop sufficient spirit as the war pro-
crosses to invade Japan. 1t also means
that no matter which nation is victori-
GUS. the territorial rewards must be
confined to Corea and Manchuria.
When Mr. Hays note to the powers
was first published there was an inn
preston that we might be pledging
ourselves 10 something that il would
pe difficult to enforce; and that ours
would be the responsibility for keep
ing China neutral. and for preventing
Interference from the beiligerant pow
ers. 1t transpires, however, that they
assume responsibility for carrying ou,
the terms Of Mr. Hays suggestion. AS
usual, Mr.. Hay has shown his ability ia
srapple with great problems in the in
tercst Of humanity.

it be forced or voluntary. though when
this Is coupled with the former denials
of The Japanese It must hereafter be. reck-

The report OF Vice-Admiral Togo upon

rs most surprising state Of affairs
when the people of sovereign state
persist in doing things they don't want

one Of the most unpopular measures
the people ever had TO pass upon; yet
the majority in favor OF its ratification
was counted in advance.
The machine is in control. It counts
on Republican votes, on Democratic
votes, and when it needs to do so. IT,
can manufacture majorities. Nobody
is able to stand against it, Since the
election OF Mayor Weaver there has
been a hope Of better things. But the
hope is In vain The word has gone
forth that The Mayor is to be crushed

him, but the very members Of Council

A MILLION IMMIGRANTS.

The total immigration to The United
States for 1909 was nearly million.

1859 when 7sS9e2 aliens came over.
These figures arc growing every year,
and 'here are no signs of any fall-

Bus the most significant thing Is that
he nature of this immigration is
changing. and embraces more of that
which BY ordinary standards may be
regarded as undesirable. For instance.
in 1882 Austria-Hungary. Italy and
RUSSIA combined sent s2.S99. In 1908
these three countries sent e15.s7s.
During this time the immigration
from Germany. Sweden. Norway. Ire
land. England and Scotland has ailaty
decreased. In other words. immigra-
tion from those countries which fur
nished the stock out OF which this Re.

ANNIHILATION OF
THE CROOKS
This Means. a Benefit to
the Mining Industry as
" Well as to Investors.

In view Of the fact that people o.
eastern Oregon are realizing NOR,
fully every day that the crooked
mining promoter Is a detriuisnt Il
any district; that this section ha,
suffered from the operations Of thil
breed, the following from the Daily
Mining Record will be read with in
terest:
The Record has stated many time,
that the greatest benefit to be derived
from the absolute annihilation of the
shady stock promoter would accrue
to the mining industry equally with
the investor. This is q self cviden,
proposition. Any protection which
IL extended to the investor will re.
bound TO the interests of the mines.
This has been illustrated IN many
ways, but never more pointedly than
In the opinions expressed by pro.
moters Of Washington, who find that
the anti-fraud law of that state II a
great encouragement to them In their
operations, giving their clients more
confidence In the utterances sent out
In press clippings, prospectuses and
private letters generally. Misrepre-
sentation under the Washington
statute is made criminal oifense
specifically and the penalty attach
ing 20 a violation of 1t is severe
enough to be effective. BY having
such restriction imposed upon the
business, honest promoters are re.
lieved from the burden Of competing
with falsehoods and suffering from
the inevitable failure Of fraudulent
companies. Moreover. It Ia apparent
that q greater percentage Of the
money paid for stocks will 90 into the
mines than when worthless paper Ia
permitted to float abroad upon tales
of riches that have no foundation.
1t will be found, wherever the
investor turns. that the honest mir.
ing promoter-and there are many
Of them-the man who has nothing
to fear from an investigation Of his
enterprise or his statements concern
t.gi II, is anxious to see iegislati' q
enacted which will properly safeguard d
the EASTERN stock buyer. lie does
not fear such legislation himself
because, so far RS he alone Is CON
cerled, no laws are necessary to
compel him to be honest, lie WAS
horn honest and his clients have
already discovered him To he so. His
support of such proposed legislation
is based upon the right which he has
to protect himself and the industry in
which he il interested from leeches.
There are many ways OF striking mt
the ieeches aud various states have
adopted various ways of doing It,.
Moreover. the postOliice department
at Washington is making an organ
lied effort to protect the public from
them. Eternal vigilance is the price
which must be paid for the Protec-
Non of the mining industry aud its
upright votaries against the arch
enemy, the fakir.
