All that the President says on the sub
Jet of administering the Chinese exclusion
law is well said. All that the friends of
the law desire is that the law be fairly ad-
ministered. It's purposes are plain. Its
terms are clearly expressed There are
Chinese who are not to be permitted to
enter this country under any circumstances.
There are others. who after complying with
certain conditions. are free to come and go.
II is no profit to anybody to apply the
exclusion feature of the law to students
and merchants and educated travellers. But
It is a profit to n good many people. both
in China and America. TO smuggle in coolies
under a disguise. There is d conspiracy to
that end. and It has worked no little harm
The American authorities advised of
how the game is played. and II a few mis-
takes have been made in the efforts to
break up the game. they are to be charged
to the activities and shrewdness of those
playing the game.
Let nobody be deceived about this bust
ness This agitation Is largely a plant"
1t has not its root In the sounding periods
about freedom and brotherly love and what
our institutions signify, but in round hard
dollars and cents The object Is not to
open our gates to the higher classes OF
CHINA, for they nave never DeeN closed 10
them. but 10 create such prejudice against
the law will break it down in It's Just
and practical application. AS one may
easily see, the aim is to discourage vigil
lance both in China and in this country on
the part of those charged with the execu-
ton Of the law, and thus smooth the way
for traffic in certificates and the increase
OF coolies in the United States.
The Presidents deliverance and that of
Secretary Metcalf are both against this
manifest fraud Both call for greater Wig
lance than ever. Both point out the neces-
sity for il. The law must be complied with
and when that is done no injustice results
to anybody. We do not want the coolies
and do not intend that they shall come In.
AS for students and merchants and travel
ers. their entrances are regulated according
to the difficulties of the problem. and there
should be no liberation of any execution of
the law which makes for their injury or
humiliation. Let us have the law above all
things-above the guilds Of China and what
ever those guilds may have gildad in
America

The Canal.

The country awaits with much interest
the decision of the engineers in the matter
OF the Panama canal. Shall 1t be sea-
level, or lock structure? If the former
the cost will exceed the figures upon which
Congress has passed. and a long time be
necessary for the work If the latter-tf
locks are voted-then we shall have plain
sailing so far as time and money are con-
cerned. The engineers are divided on the
subject Eminent authorities are found on
either side. The meeting which the Presi-
dent has called for September will pass
upon the question. and maybe from that
time will date greater progress in our ven
ture on the isthmus. Our snairs pace down
there has led to some criticism and dis
content. Mere speed Is not of course, the
object. We want to go forward. but on the
best lines Determining those lines should
not battle US.

II would be Interesting to know tust how
much surprised the Philadelphians them

Not GUILTY.
From the New York Times.

FROM the New YORK Times
What is the popular English notion of the
typical American man and woman? Speak
ing of the invasion of American tourists
expected this year. London newspaper
gives notice that the streets Of that city
will soon be enlivened by large numbers of
curiously Quiet-loOking men in weird
coats with padded shoulders, long boots
blobby at the toes. and straw hats with no
roof, and women with brown faces and
eyes with very white whites. green wells
floating in the breeze and accents that set
ones teeth on edge This description is
not one. which the average American wild
be likely to recognize. Our citizens do not
wear weird coats" To get boots "blobby''
at the toes they would need to buy them
abroad. and our straw hats are commonly
rooted" Our women are not distinguish
ed by brown faces and white eyes; they
never wear green veilS-or so seldom that
one who did so would be deemed a freak
and their voices are not so bad But is It
possible that the impression we create Is
one which warrants such a description? II
this can be shown to be true, great many
people who now enjoy going abroad will
find 1t more agreeable to stay at home.

Ambulance Driving.
From the Philadelphia Telegraph.

When an ambulance answers a hurry call
with such speed as to create havoc to street
traffic. smashes into other vehicles. mains
pedestrians and passengers and sometimes
kills them-as happened recently In Ches-
ter-the public naturally reasons that In
stead of being a humanitarian institution it
IS a dire evil. In that town. as the result
of the violent impact of ambulance and
heavy delivery wagon. a doctor had his
peck broken, his assistant had ribs and
arms broken, a passerby was injured and
the man who tried suicide and was the OBJ
ject Of the hurry call shows every indica-
ton that his efforts will be rewarded with
success. The system Of hospital response
to urgent summons is. we are glad to say.
better ordered In Philadelphia: and yet
there are occasional infractions of the rule
as to speed and care. 1t Is always impOr-
tant to keep in mind that the enthusiasm
Of effort to save some human beings should
not be at the expense of the life or limb OF
other human beings. The reckless driver is
rot wanted anywhere, and particularly he
Is not wanted on an ambulance.

The Public Service Corporation Is

scheme to huy up the Cavterct Com
pany and thereby emove all competi'

looks as if n company was really to lie

cannot be b1ugh', for the merchants
are putting their money nto the
movement solely because they believe
the rate they are now paying the Pnb-
tic Service is entirely too high. The
merchants are not going into the cleo
