saying in part:
The American Civic Association unftes
the humble workers striving to improve his
or her own premises, be they but a single
room or suite of rooms, or little cottage
with its bit of ground, with the far-seeing
ideaiist, who, with bold faith, plans not
only for the needs of the present genera
ton, but for those of countless generations
yet unborn.
The progress of the past year has been
the growth Of the movement in every direc-
ton and IN every phase, Notwithstanding the
great increase in the number Of organiza-
tions and in the number of Individual work.
ers Notwithstanding the great interest
that is exhibited on the part of the great
public, we must realize that the surface of
improvement work has only been scratched.
We have but to look around us on every
side to see the need for still greater i'm
provement, for still more vigorous and
strenuous efforts, for still higher standards,
to appreciate the inmensity and the diff
Guilty of the situation as 1t confronts US.
I'VE must not allow ourselves to be dis
uation and of the difficulties which appear
on every hand when we undertake any
work In the line of civic improvement.
The note of greatest promise in all this
work Is the fact that there is an equal ap-
probation Of the need and value of indi-
vidual and of organized effort.
"Our life can never be complete, never be
rational or righteous, till it is beautiful.
Only when ever foul alley and every nox-
ious home and every vulgar structure and
every base fashion is vanished from the
city, and over all is spread the mantle of
health and beauty, only then can Boston
or whatever city be ours-be indeed the city

CHINESE EXCLUSION
Amelioration of Alleged Rig
orous Conditions.
MR.. TAFT'S WARNING
CELESTIALs MUST BE PLACATED
IN SOME WAY.
A Treaty Would Be Best Plan, for It
Would Be Considered in
Executive Session.
MR.. TAFT'S WARNING

Since Secretary Taft's return from the
orient there has been renewed discussion of
the subject of proposed amelioration of pres
ent alleged rigorous conditions of the Chi
nese exclusion act Secretary Taft has
warned the administration that adequate
steps must be taken to placate the Chinese
else more serious results will follow The
administration has done all 1t could to
soften the enforcement of the law but the
opinion is said to be held by Secretary Taft
that amendment of the law will be neces-
sary.
1t has been suggested that conditions
might be relieved through treaty stpula-
tions, avoiding an appeal to Congress The
discussion of the treaty by the Senate would
be in executive session and there would be
small opportunity for political capital to be
made out of the proceedings. 1t is realized
that once the question is thrown into the
House wide field of political debate is
opened and there will be no end to talk.
Opposition From Labor Interests.
The Pacific coast states will, it is likely,
oppose any relaxation Of the exclusion laws
and will summon labor organizations of the
east to their support. The southern manu-
featuring states will be anxious to please
the Chinese and may be expected to yield
assent to plans for letting down the bars.
The prospect of big market for cotton
goods in Manchuria, following the resump-
tion of peaceful industries in that harassed
section, is expected to tempt the cotton
manufacturing states
So, with the subject up in the House,
there would be continual friction and pull
ing and hauling between the sections and
diverse interests. 1t is not apparent that
satisfactory bill could be passed through
Congress. Moreover, the action coming on
the eve of the election of a new House
would make good many people timorous
and politics would enter in large degree in
all deliberations.
Question Of Treaty.
If the question is brought up in the Senate
In a treaty politics could be kept in the
background, it is said, or at least the polit-
ical friction could be minimized. China is
certain to get more liberal treatment from
the Senate than Congress would afford it is
thought. The railroad and construction in
terests Of the middle west are favorable to
relaxation of the law, and their representa-
tons would probably be made to the Senate
There is no question of the legality of this
plan. A treaty would qualify and supersede
the act of Congress. The United States Su-
preme Court has held in several cases that
treaty and an act of Congress are equally
potent, the precedence to be governed by
the date of passage of the act or confirma-
tion of the treaty.
