PROTEST TO THE PRESIDENT
Delegation From the American Asiatic
Association Presents a Memorial to
the Chief Executive.

lNC SIitcI ExCCQtlVci
Washington, Specially delegation
from the American Asiatic Associa-
tion called on President Roosevelt
Monday and protested against the al
legged seventies of the administration
of the present Chinese exclusion laws
The ultimate purpose of the delegation
in which North Carolina was literally
represented, was to secure such condi-
tions as would facilitate and enlarge
the trade of American cotton mills in
the Orient. The claim was made that
the present laws are altogether too rig
idly enforced and Chinese capital and
merchants are prevented from coming
to America to trade.
A MEMORIAL PRESENTED.
A memorial. adopted unanimously
by the entire delegation was present.
ed to President Roosevelt by John
Ford, of New York, secretary of the
American Asiatic Association. The
memorial recited not only that Chi
nese merchants were harassed by the
present exclusion statutes but the law
was being even more than literally an-
piled. The legal regulations are now
so stringently construed by the Depart
ment that many influential Chinese
who are entitled to visit America, are
kept out of the country. The conse-
quence is that factories in the United
States are placed at disadvantage
in the competition for the trade of the
Orient The memorial admitted that
there was warrant in the wording Of
the law for what is being done, but
contended strongly that the enforce
ment Of the present statutes was in the
hands Of the labor union element and
was not executed in the interest Of
the American citizens. The memorial
closed i'll the following words:
"The members of this delegation
feel confident that they will not appeal
to you in vain in asking that remedy
should be sought for the anomalous
and unsatisfactory condition Of the e:i-
listing relations between this co. ntry
and the Chinese Empire. The probable
disastrous effects on their interests
and the interests Of industries for
which they speak. of longer contln-
uance of conditions must be their cx-
cuse for the urgency and emphasis
which they have taken the liberty to
use in inviting your attention to the
cOhiect -

OLD TOM, the GOLFER.
One Of the Best Known OF Devotees Of
the Ancient Game.

One Of the Best Known Of Devotees Of
the Ancient Game.
One of the best golfers that ever laid
out a course or drove a ball was old
Tom Morris. They called him ''old"
to distinguish him from his son, who
was the most brilliant player Of his
time, and to whose memory a fine
monument was erected over his grave
in st. Andrews. Once, when old Tom
was greenkeeper at Prestwick, in Ayr
shire, he took part in a foursome, his
partner being Capt. Wolfe Murray.
Next day the postman handed Tom a
letter simply addressed to 'The Mis-
ser of Short Puts, Prestwick.' This
shows how well known Tom was, and
also what had been wrong with
his play in the match. When
the question of Sunday play was
being discussed, Tom was asked
for his opinion. "Well," he
said, 'if man doesna need a rest,
ken the green does.' He retired from
the post Of greenkeeper to the Royal
and Ancient Club of st. Andrews at
the age of 80 years, but in spite of his
great age, played fine game to the
very last t. = R'2-s~ ~ - :.

144E MOOR AS a SERVANT.

Mighty Picturesque, but With Hospit-
= able Notions of His Own.
An artist in New York has a Moor
for a servant. The artist found him
dancing in a side show at the fair, and
they had little chat between dances.
1t was a one-sided chat for the Moor
knows little English, though he knew
enough English or human nature to
say that he had been servant of the
Sultans. Before the Moor danced
again the artist had asked him to be
bis servant.
The Moor could not say, modestly,
what, in this attire?" for his scarlet
robes and tufban were gorgeous; but
he did murmur something about being
dressed differently from American
servants. The artist wanted him as he
was, and said so.
So as he is, in scarlet grandeur, he
waits on the artists studio apart
ments. The guests hold their breath
a little when the enormous man in
red enters the room to do the tea
chores The artist, however. breathes
evenly.
The Moor has a trick of hospitality
toward his employers guests of which,
perhaps, it would be we'll for the
artist to break him, as it proves nerve
shatteringto the initiated. He solemn
ly takes it upon himself to greet each
guest, as he or she arrives, with prof
fered hand and the plaintive murmur,
my friend"
Perhaps the artist thinks it is better
not to correct the Moor. He is very
big man, and the artist treats him po-
litely.

Will Cheaper Old Violins.

, Are we about to witness slump in
'Strads" and other old violins? A let
ter received in Rome, from Bucharest,
states that an Italian artist named
Antonio Bonardi, long resident there,
has found a method of greatly improv-
ing the quality of tone in violins. This
result is secured by a certain modif-
cation of the shape. especially at the
narrower part, rendering the instru-
ment at the same time more elegant
In form. 1t is stated that at recent
musical conversazione, the Bonardi
instrument, although made of, new
wood, was tried against an old Qua
dagnin with triumphant results.-Lon-

Loves Way.

Love makes the heart SO light, so light,
Like thistle-down its upward flight;
Earth seems so very far away,
And heaven so very near the day.
Love comes a-knocking at our door,
And whispers all his cunning lore
Care cannot hurt, nor sorrow blight
The heart that love has made so light.
Love makes the world so bright, SO
bright,
As silvery moonbeams do the night;
Though storms may come and Winds may
blow,
AS through this weary world we go,
Love sees the sun behind the cloud,
Nor cares if north winds buster loud
So much there is that gives delight.
In the world love makes so bright.
Love makes the way so clear. so clear;
NO stumbling in the dark, no fear.
the path before me lies so straight,
>And at the end the shining gate.
It is SO easy to 90 right
TO toll, to hope, to climb the height,
Since have walked with you, my dear,
Along the way love makes SO clear.

When Cannon Were Novelty.

There is an amusing description by
Munro, an old Scottish soldier, of the
effect of cannon, when they were new
weapons of warfare For long
time," he says, used for the batter
ing down of walls and cities, they
were at last used in the field to break
squadrons and batailes of horse and
foot. And how soone the trumphet
did sound the enemy was thundered
on so that they were cruelty alright
ed, men of valor being suddenly TAX
en- away, who before were wont to
light vahantly and long with sword
and launce. But now men are mar
tyrised and cut down at more than
half mile of distance by those
furious and laundering engines Of
great cannon"

RESISTING an Officer.

The truth Of the following is
vouched for by correspondent: An
Irish drayman in small village was
elected constable: The morning after
election, while doing his customary
business with pair of old horses that
had seen many better days, and with
a long stick for a whip jabbing first
one and then the other, he was heard
to say; ..Git up, here, git up, We

Benny on the Boa Constructor.

The boa constructor is a large snake
with scales on its outside and a stom-
ach sixteen feet long. 1t lives in
warm countries, where there is a
great deal of rain and jungles, and
has a tongue that looks like a streak
OF lightning flashing athwart the pale
horizon. When you see a boa con-
strictor in cage you think how much
better it would feel if it could go out
and stretch itself, but, alas, it cannot.
When my Uncle Hiram was kind OF
sick once he said he saw red boa
constructor with horns on it's head,
but no one else in the apartment
could see it. The boa constructor
can be trained so it will let lady
with her hair all frizzled take it out
OF a box and bend it around her neck,
but ! I would rather play with a pet
kitten, which is warmer and more
fectionate.-Chicago Tribune.

Position in Sleep.

According to DR.. Fischer Of Berlin,
the most effective position of sleep for
obtaining intellectual rest is to keep
the head low and the feet slightly eles
waited. Failing this, the body should.
at any rate, be horizontal, so as to irri-
gate the brain well. The habit Of sleep
ing with head low and feet high is,
according to the doctor; a remedy for
brain troubles and some internal mall
aides. It can be adopted gradually.

Why They Fight Gooding.

Malcontents may howl till they

hair: and self-styled reformers and
mugwump editors may rend the

prejudice, but the great fact re-
mains that Governor Frank r.
Gooding is giving to Idaho the
best administration the state ever
had.
Will the people who are familiar
with the political history Of the state
of Idaho dare say that the man,
who, by his answering fidelity to
public trust, has retrieved from the
hand of greed and graft, millions
of dollars worth OF public land, is
not worthy of all the confidence
and honor given him? And will
the people when they learn turn

EDITORIAL NOTES.

The investigation OF the big in
surance companies continues, and
each day brings forth greater scan
dal, and that, too, when it was
thought that the limit of the insur-
ance graft had been reached. tits
not likely that policy holders will
loose anything, however-that is,
they will get an amount that they
were led to expect thev would
receive, hut the fact is coming out
that a matured policy costs more
than it should, and that policy
holders in addition to paying for
their policies are paying an addi-
tional sum for bribery and graft.
The investigations now in progress
will probably result in the dismis-
sal of the dishonest officials, and
turning the immense grating fund
into the profit fund of the policy
holders.
