How Wu Has Repaid Us.

Of~s~
When WI Ting-fang was the
Chinese Minister to the United
States Americans were con-
tinually landing him for his wit,
cleverness and shrewdness.
There was nothing too good in
the national vocabulary for this
wise and amiable Oriental. Since
Mr.. Wu's return to his native
land, whittier he was recalled to
assume a position in the govern
ment at Picking, his fellow
Orientals have manifested a
strange dislike Of Uncle Sans
manufactures, absolutely refus-
ing to buy them. although they
are as good and as cheap as the
manufactures of any other
nation. 1t is limited that MI.
WI has had something to do with
this sudden aversion of the
Chinese to the products of
American industry. The willy
Oriental diplomatist argues that
if we practice the boycott at
home against each other, we
cannot logically object if the
Chinese employ our own methods
against rs. Uncle Sam does not
admit the soundness of such
logic. and the Chinese govern
ment has been notified to this
effect. Meantime Mr.. WI will
never get compliments again
from this section of the globe.
In the language of diplomacy.
he is persona non grata. In the
words of the ragtime ditty, He
can't play in our back yard any
more" We gave him taffy, and
he repaid rs with in~gratitude.-
Exchange.

Perish Guarantees.

Communicated
II the present theory of the
propagation of yellow fever,
sanctioned by the highest medi-
cal authority, is to be accepted,
then the present quarantine of
the parish against the town Of
Lafayette is totally unwarranted.
Parish authorities have ap-
parently discarded the town as
part and parcel of the parish,
and when supposed danger
threatened, proceeded to cut it
out from it's own body and
quarantine-what? Simply mos
quitoes. for they alone could
spread the fever abroad, even if
it existed. There was no resort
to common sense recourse.
The town authorities acted
wisely; they isolated the focus of
supposed danger, screened the
patient and dwelling and sur
ronndlngs, and sought to des-
troy the only means of conveying
the danger. Now If the parish
authorities had with . measure
OF practical common sense joined
tie town authorities and helped
them IN their well conceived
acton; directed their attention

THE RAILROAD.

Wednesday morning L. T.
Lester as chairman OF the right
ot-way committee received a
telegram from Tallmadge and
associates at Chicago, request,
ing that said committee com
plete its work not later than
Nov. 10 The committee was
also notified that the survey out
Of his town could be secured
by application to Avery Turner.
As this work requires at the
hands of the committee clear
title deeds to the lands included
in said rigbt-of-way and the
raising Of the necessary pledges
or cash to secure them. it will
be observed that it, the commit
tee, has no sinecure. but rather
tough job on its docket The
committee acting on the correct
principle that getting the neces
Sary cash subscribed is the first
step is bending its energies in
that direction, but as yet it has
fallen short of the estimated
cost, which is 5000.
Now, as The News mas pre-
viously stated, it is up TO the
people of both town and coun
" TO say whether or not this
committee, appointed by our
citizenship and now working in
their behalf. shall fall down or
not.
On this proposition at least
giving the right of-way-now or
never is the time for action.
THE ROUTE
The right-ofw way as finally
adopted from the town south to.
the county line is outlined as
follows:
Beginning on the Pecos Val
ley tracks west OF the depot and
also of the water tank; thence

residence and west of & 7. |

through sections 50, 9S, 1913, 1919,
/, II, 2, 3, 4, 5, IS, 40, Al, 80 and
so TO its south line which is also
the north line of Swisher county.
This terminal point is 81 miles
east of direct line drawn south
from Canyon City. The News
does not pretend that this is &C.
in every particular, but
I is amply sufficient to show,
