THE CHINESE ExcLEgJoy oRnra

President Roosevelt has taken prompt and eff
1eclVe measures TO remedy the abuses COM
pIalhed OF In the administration Of the Chinese
Exclusion laws. Reports of undue harshDess
IN the treatment of Chinese subjects applying
Tor admission at our ports have been spread
abroad, and have led 10 talk In Chinese trade
circles OF reprlsals against American merchants
and American commerce. Chinese srsceptibil-
it1es have been wounded not so mich bv our
purpose TO bar out the coolie laborer for that
feature Of our national policy has been more
than once assented to by the Chinese govern
nenr), as by the overFigid entry tests applied
TO travellers, merchants. students and others
clearly entitled TO admission. Under our present
laws persons belonging to the exempt classes
can take out certificates, viseed by the Chinese
government and by an American consular Off
Ger, and on these certificates they have a prima
faele right TO enter our ports and travel freely
Within our borders. But the trouble has beeD
that many fraudulent exempt certificates have
been Issued to Chinese who were really Ia
borers, and officials in the immigration service.
TO protect themselves against such substitu-
tions. have been forced in many cases to go be-
hind the applicants credentials and insist on
his giving more thorough and satisfactory
proofs Of his identity. II is easy TO see that
oTegzeal TO detect fraudulent practices might

Tie Presidents order goes to the root OF the
difficulty. Il puts the blame for the traffic in
bogus entry certificates where it belongs, on the
shoulders Of the officers who issue the entry
papers. Greater care in the Endorsement OF
certificates taken out ia China would save the
inspection officials here vast amount of anx-
iety and labor. The President therefore di-
rects American consular officers In China to
make Il their business TO discover the true
character of every applicant for an entry per
nit. Undoubtedly there has been much laxity
in the past. identification papers being often
signed as matter Of routine and without any
special investigation. Consular officers In China
must understand hereafter that the viseing OF
exempt certificates is one of their most impor-
ranr functions. and that careIeesness Ia approv-
ing entry papers VIII be considered a gross
breach Of duty. Hereafter, too the Chinaman

ANTT-MosoUITo CRUsADES.

Major Ronald Ross who Is at the head of
one of the English schools of tropical medicine,
discusses In the last issue of Mature that nas
reached this country questions or great interest,"
TO those who want to get rid of the mosquito.
They are sure to arise in the mind Of every one
who has been requested to help in extermlnatihs
that pest, either in the cause of sanitation, or
merely as matter Of public comfort Such
persons inquire How long will the beneht or
a successful campaign last? If little dooryard
pools are once filled up and swaIaps are
drained, and the propagation OF mosquitoes III
any locality is thus practically stopped. may
there not soon be a wholesale invasion from
other places? II So what is the use OF hghtlng
them at all?
Now the almost universal testimony OF en-
tomoIosists who have closely studied the habits
of mosquitoes is that they are seldom found far
from the pools in which they were hatched. An
organization Of public spirited residents of the
North Shore of Long Island was formed few
years ago to redeem that region from one OF
the nuisances which haunted their homes anu
grounds. A committee of that society, arter
studying the problem, expressed the OPINION
that mosquitoes of the genus culex might occa-
sionally be found a mile from their birthplace,
but that limit was rarely exceeded While spec
linens Of the genus anopheles seldom strayed
more than a few hundred yards from the ponds
or swamps in which they were bred. The COM
mittee was convinced that the wind never car
ried mosquitoes from the South Shore to the
North Shore and that the chance of immigra-
ton was small. Major Ross talks confidently
in the same strain. He has made extensive
observations himself In India and elsewhere,
and in confirmation Of his own views he quotes
from report on an anti-malarial campaign In
the Federated Malay States year or two ago.
The author Of the report, Dr. Malcolm Watson,
saws that an Improvement noticed in the
health of one community, Klangi. where only
part of the swamps had been drained-those
nearest to the dwellings Of the natives. The
MOSQUITOES from the undrained swamps he
adds, "did not appear to travel any distance"
These verdicts are highly encouraging. They
are based on practical experience The most
valua he of them all, it must be remarked, is
that of Major Ross himself. He is one of the
first men to establish conclusively the relation
shin between mosquitoes and malaria, and for
that service to mankind he received one of the
Nobel prizes two or three years ago. be does
not saw that If a community is once completely
freed from mosquitoes no others will ever be
seen there again. He shows, however. that the
only danger from the few which may come
from other places, after given locality has got
rid of them is from multiplication. and for this
reason q careful watch must be maintained TO
prevent the restoration of breeding places after
tbau bovo hoan oDce abolished.

Justice Hooker has just made long state

harm He did the conventional tnlng our
corporations have developed so rapidly that
they have outrun law. This was particularly
true in the days of business and transportation

in rate making and rebate grabbing that the
law did not succeed in preventing. Ihe spirit
of service would have seen through the con-
ventiona morality of the arrangement anu
asked what was fair to others.
President Hadleys doctrine is not one to De
put off with youthful illusions. 1t is the doc-
trine which large part of the business COM
munity has needed to adopt and, we believe, Is
more ready to adopt than formerly. The young
men who now go from the colleges to the
counting rooms are likely to find there an at
mosphere more favorable to ideals than they
would have found year or two ago. There
is q fair chance that they may go through their
formative period with higher standards than
some of their originally not less highminded
predecessors, and grow to places of influence
not merely satisfied with worldly success, out
full of ideals Of unselfshness and service.

C0NVEyTfoYALITY IN BUSINESS.

.ot,be sIeen of conyentionality is of all slum-
hers the most fatal" said President Hadley in
baccaIaureate address which powerfully en-
forced upon the Yale graduating class lesson
of spirituality and service peculiarly appro-
nriate to our time and condition. In this day
Of great business enterprises and vast fortunes
men Of affairs are subjected to peculiar trials,
and If they rely on the dialectic Of the casuist
+hav are pretty sure to 60 wrong. The choice
hetween the letter and the spirit is one pre-
sented TO men through the ages, but never was
the task Of the man who honestly tries TO be
conyentiona,ly good so hopeless as in this era
or material prosperity accompanied by cor
porate impersonalty.
Developments in the political and business
world are every day furnishing examples or the
nadeuuacy of conventional standards Of mo-
raIity Men meaning to be good, and sadshed
that thev are good according to the business
coda In which they have been trained, suddenly
,rsl,a tn find themselves all wrong through
fsiIure to try their actions by the touchstone OF
r,..,f,sh devotion. President Hadley puts the
issue thus:
A-a we going to rest content with being Phari-
saaa or are we really trying to be Christians?
Let each of US look INTO nus own neart 80 touay S
and find the answer What is your ideal OF
success in life? Is it TO become reputable
member of good society and achieve substan-
tiaT results in the way of fortune, family and
friends on which you can look with increasing
cnnoniacency? Or is 1t to try to make the world
hetter bv a struggle which will be full of dan
gars and mistakes and MISUNDERSTANDING, and
in which to the very end Of life, you are likely
to remain far from the realization of your high
ae+ homes? In the former case you are a Phari-
see no matter how much you may try to dis
o1,ise the fact In the latter case you are
Thristian no matter what doubts may hold you
hack from venturing to call yourself by that
name
1t may seem an impractfcable counsel of per-
fection TO tell the young man who is going into
Wall Street or into a railroad office that he
must go there not to make his fortune and do
business according to the rules OF the game.
That is one of the Ideals which are commonly
exnected to wear out by the time the fedgling
has shed his pin feathers Yet some of the well
meaning gentlemen who are just now the tar
gets of criticism in conne ton with the Equita-
BILE troubles would probably say that their mis-
take was the error against which President
Hadley warned his young hearers. Most Of
these men would have declared that they We're
faithful to their trusts. But their faith
/ fuIness was conventional. They Inherited a
habit of signing wastefu leases and promoting
subsidiary companies. They obeyed the code
