HAY Is DEAD.
The Worlds Greatest Diplomat Has Ended

UnSullied Name. .-s.a. s..

The Worlds Greatest Diplomat Has Ended
His LabOrs and Passed Away With an
Unsullied Name. ...
United States Secretary John Hay,
died at his summer home 'The Fells,"
at Newbury, N. H., on July 1, at 1925
a. m. 1t has been known for some
time that he was in a critical condi-
tlon and some months ago he made a
trip to Europe for his health, seeming
to be improved on his return, but had
lately been confined to his bed. He
was supposed to be improving and
was to have been allowed to sit up on
Saturday when the end came most un-
expectedly. At the hour of twelve all
was quiet. In another moment nurses
and physicians found themselves sum-
moned to the bedside. There had been
collapse. twenty-five minutes later
all was over. So swiftly had the end
come that the dying man passed away
unattended by all Of the members of
his family save his wife. The others,
a son and a daughter, we're sum-
moned: but they reached the bedside
only to find their distinguished parent
dead.

While the citizens of this country
are ever ready to welcome to their
shores people. of other .nationalities,
the enormous influx of all sorts and
conditions of humanity during the
past few months and the ease with
which it passes inspection at Gov
ernor's island seems to demand that
the laws be amended-be made more
stringent regarding the admission of
"undesirables." At present the laws
admit of the landing of almost any
one provided they have stipulated
amount of money and are not dis
eased. This has resulted in Americas
becoming veritable dumping ground
for the scum of Europe and Asia. It
has brought in hordes of undesirable
immigrants from southern Italy and
Syria-people who will prove of no
advantage to any country-whose
only ambition is to accumulate d
competence: and then return to their
homes and live in comparative lux.
ury, which they can accomplish for a
mere bagatelle. There are among
this class thousands who are vastly
inferior to the Chinese, yet the latter
are excluded and the former permitted
to participate in the bounties which
this great country provides. It is
high time the immigration laws were
revised.

not necessary to prevent Chinese
coolies from coming to this country.
On the other hand it causes such irri-
tation in China that there is likely to
be a general boycott Of American
goods. The cost of this will fall di-
rectly upon American workingmen.
China is the worlds great future mar
ket. We can guess from the increase
OF our trade with Japan, with the
Russian provinces of the Pacific and
with Manchuria since it was open to
trade what possibilities there are of
manufacturing for the hundreds of
millions in China. All Europe and
now Japan are ready to snatch this
trade from us. We are in better posi-
tion than any except Japan to get it if
we can have fair field and no favor.
The far-seeing diplomacy Of the gov
eminent at Washington has done all
government can do for many years to
open China to American trade. It
seems stupid thing to let us be shut
out now because the Pacific coast has
gone daft or the subject of Chinese
immigration and infected the whole
country with it's madness. Workers
in American cotton and woolen,. steel
and flour mills have nothing to fear
from competition of Chinese coolie
labor, with reasonable enforcement of
laws and treaties. They have much
to fear from Chinese boycott of Amer
lean goods. We do not believe thew
favor unnecessary severity in enforce
ment of exclusion laws, which is likely
to lead to such boycott. "

Despite the cannon-cracker laws
supposed to be in force in many states
the casualty reports bid fair to equal,
if not exceed, those of previous years.
In states where laws prohibiting the
manufacture of the destructive COM
bustible exceeding a certain length
prevail the manufacturers have over
come the difficulty by enlarging the
circumference of the cracker, thus
coming within the limits of the statute.
Laws or no laws, the small boy will
have his cannon-cracker even if he
has to make it himself and blows him
self up in it's discharge. 80.

The selection of a secretary of State
to succeed the late John Hay will
prove one of tke most gigantic tasks
President Roosevelt ever confronted.
Mr.. Hay was not only a trained, but
a born, diplomat, and no man as yet
mentioned for the Office possesses the
qualifications or has had the expert
ence along the lines. of craftsmanship
as did John Hay: Of those suggested
for the portfolio perhaps Choate
comes nearer the requirements than
any other statesman, but even he falls
short of. measure when compared with
Mr.. Hay.

Speaking Of the war; now being
waged in many parts of this country
upon grafters. the Duluth :News.Trib-
une pertinently remarks: "a little

full realization of the terrors of the

the plundering of the public as some
thing ordained and not TO be inter-
fered with. Good people only winked

There has come a change. It is actu-

degree, but it only. needs continu-
ancesof the present. campaign to make
blackmail a dangerous pursuit and
therefore lessen its prevalence. =

State Auditor Iverson says that
ninety per cent of the horleseekers
passing through St. Paul locate in
Canada. This can be largely accred-
tied to the vast sum Of: money ex-
pended by, Canadian land companies
in advertising the territory through
the medium of newspapers which are
scattered in profusion throughout the
United States and other countries.
Not only does this advertising con-
sist of display ads but of articles

The elimination of the Wheaton
murder case, in which Antoinette
Seidensticker, a girl Of thirteen, shot
and killed her lover, was a verdict of
not guilty, after less than an hours
deliberation by the jury. That the
girl committed the crime there was no
denial, but the peculiar circumstances
of the case and the girls youthfulness
seemingly justified the jury in it's de-
cision and met the public approval.

1t is now said that Chief Engineer
Wallace was bribed to desert the gov
eminent at the instigation of great
tnarnciers of the country in an attempt
to bring the interoceanic canal to
naught. Whether there be any truth
in this or not, the betrayal Of his trust
by the chief engineer leads one to in
fer that a conspiracy of some sort did
actually exist.

Senator Mitchell of Oregon has been
convicted by the United States court
of fraud in connection with the dispo-
sition of government lands. The SEN
ator's counsel will likely move for a
new trial, but, according to United
States District Attorney Heney, he
has no grounds upon which to base
his demand. The conviction of
Mitchell should be a lesson to other
public men who may be tempted to
follow in his footsteps.
