1t is to be hoped that President
ROOsevelts order to the immigration
officials relative to more discretion in
the enforcement of the Chinese exclu-
sion act will have cool effect. The
way in which this law has been made
to operate to the discomfort and
humiliation Of Chinese students,
merchants and tourists has been to the
discredit of our country to put it mild
ly, and has undoubtedly injured Ameri-
can interests i'm the Orient. 1t seems
as though the average immigration
official ought to be able TO tell the DIFF
ference between an ignorant Chinese
coolie who is being struggled across the
border and a Chinese government Off
cial visiting this country with his suite.
or a Chinese student coming back to
resume work in one Of our universities,
OR a Chinese merchant brought here in

country is 30 anxious to increase.

Today's Special Election.


This is the day designated and set
apart for the special election in the city
OF Augusta, the citizens being asked to
go to the polls and express their epin-
ion as to the ACCESSIBILITY of various
changes in the city charter. Judging
from surface indications there is but
little general interest in the matter,
and the prospect Is that there will be a
light vote cast. And yet, the matters
to be determined are Of much import
ance to our city, and no citizen is doing
his duty who stays away from the
polls. During the last session of the
Legislature. largely signed petition
was presented asking for various
changes in the city charter. The
Legislature after a we'll attended hear
ing authorized these changes, but re-
ferred them to the citizens to decide
whether or not any or all of them
should be adopted. These proposed
changes are five in number and five
separate and distinct propositions will
be submitted at the polls, today
While, as required by the Legislature,
they will be printed on one ballot in
the form of five questions, each citizen
is required to vote on each proposed
amendment separately by marking a
cross in the yes or no square as he
sees fit. The questions are as follows:
Shall the common council be aboI-
ished?"
shall the membership of the board
Of aldermen be increased by three
aldermen to be elected at large?"
Shall the assessors be elected by the
people?"
Shall three highway commissioners,
to hold office one, two and three years,
and their successors to Iold Office for
three years, be elected by the people.
ers?"
shall the city have authority to pro-
vide for street sprnkling, the property
benefited to pay therefor"
Our citizens should pear in mind that
each question involves a separate and
distinct proposition in no wise invOlv-
ing any OF the others, and that they
are to vote yes or no" en- each one
separately. The questions on the bal
lot are in brief form merely for con-
venience in voting. The full text Of
the five proposed amendments has been
posted in each ward. with the election
notices and printed copies will be
posted today in each voting place.
The Journal urges It's readers to con-
slider each Of these questions carefully
| before voting, today, and talk over the
matter with their neighbors and with
| their business associates. There are
| arguments in favor of ives" and arsu-
| ments in favor Of mo" upon each Of
the five questions. The journal does
not propose to enter into these argu-
ments, but 1t does urge the voters of
Augusta to remember that the changes
proposed are of no small Importance to
| our city, and that it is the duty Of each
citizen to think over the matter care
fully before going to the polls
