There is such n thing sometimes OF
OVERRIDING a thing and that is about
what the collector OF the port did at
Boston a few days ago. Four Chi
nese students. who had been study
ing in England for three years, want
ed to visit Boston on the invitation
of a prominent citizen OF that city.
They were OF prominent families and
had Ambassador ChOate's endorse
ment, but when they appeared before
the official. in Boston, he decided
them ineligible and refused to let
them land until they were photo
graphed and gave bond. Comment
ing on this incident the Philadelphia
Press says: "All OF this was OF course
highly offensive to these high-caste
Chinese. The President is reported
to be displeased with this method OF
enforcing the Chinese exclusion law.
Secretary Taft has publicly condemn
ed it. The Chinese exclusion law Is
itself harsh. The rules adopted for
its enforcement are much harsher.
and the men appointed to execute
the law and ruleinterpret both in the
most narrow and illiberal spirit and
bring their country into great dis
favor"

STATE COMMITTEE ACTED
WISELY.

There has been considerable effort
in some quarters to criticlse the
Democratic State Central Committee
for fixing the assessment OF candl-
dates before the primary at an eXor-
bitant figure. and it has been Sug-
gested that if such assessments con
tinue in the future, the primary plan
will become unpopular and will he
abandoned. Ii is true that the
assessments are high, and II is no
doubt true that the excessive cost to
candidates will make the primary
plan less popular, but under all the
circumstances what else. in the name
of reason could the State Central
Committee do but fix such assess
mentS as would insure sufficient
fund to conduct the primary? Ger
tainlv the Committee could not
trust to the assumption entertained
in some quarters that volunteer
officials throughout the State would
be- forthcoming to take charge OF the
primary. Under the plan now lol-
lowed by the Democratic party the
primary must be held, and 1t was
the duty of the Committee To see
that the necessary funds were pro
vided, and from the only source open
to them under the party rules. II
volunteers without pay are forth
coming. so well and good, but 1t
would have been business folly Tor
the committee to make no prepare
tons in the way of funds, and TO
trust to such a contingency when 1t
was their plain duty to insure the
conduct ofthe primary. Our eXpe-
rience in politics is that there are few
men who can afford to give a iull
long day, free of charge. to politics.
especially in the country districts.
and to trust entirely to this kind OF
service would mean that in many
places no election would be held. We
hope that there will be many volm-
teers who will offer their services
without pay, but from a business
standpoint the Committee acted
properly and was as economical in
its assessment of candidates as they
could safely be.

The action of the President in the
Bowen-LOomis case is severely criti-
cised by both Democrats and Repub-
licans. Some have gone so far as to
declare that the dismissal OF Bowen
from the diplomatic service is a
national disgrace. Mr.. Bowen, it
seems, was endeavoring to unearth a
scandal in Venezuela, which had been
reported to him. But it turned out
that, at the investigation, those who
reported the matter weakened, and
the charges we're not proven; yet 1t
was shown that LOOMS had been
guilty OF indiscretions, and so de
clared by Secretary Taft. 1t is quite
likely that Mr.. Bowen will be heard
from in the near future.

Big Four systems a tunnel will be inn
mediately constructed under Detroit
river by the Vanderbilt interests indie
pendent of the other roads.
The Michigan Central rights of way on
both sides of the river will be used for
the tunnel and there will be no changes
in the present terminals.
The News says also it is informed that
within this year every mile of the single
track left between Detroit and Chicago
on the Michigan Central will be double
tracked and the block system established.
