IL 'lliJ 10 u uC lDt SulHtot are luc
coming masters of the world. No
makeshifts, like exclusion laws or
other subterfuges can seriously inter-
fere with their progress. A man who
can live on practically nothing and
work sixteen hours every day, from
youth to age, is invincible as far as
human affairs go. The theory, how
ever, that the Chinese. will overrrun
the world and reduce the rest of the
inhabitants to their present level is
nonsense. A Chinaman is human,
even his greatest detractors give him
credit for possessing as much sense
as what we call the brute creation,
and the brute creatures know enough
to follow the course of least resistance.
So do those forms of life classified as
the vegetable kingdom. A Chinaman
don't want to do any more work than
he is obliged to do. The Chinaman's
wants will increase in proportion to
| his opportunities for supplying those
wants. The Chinese question is a
bugaboo. The dread of the Mahom-
medens is a phantom. Both are epher-
neral, the vain imagings of shallow in
tellects. 1t is simply the survival of
the fittest.

Senator Foraker made it apparent
upon whom the responsibility for the
delay in the adjudication of the Smoot
case rested. Mr.. Foraker placed it
squarely on the protestants led by Bur
rows and Dubois. This precious cou-
| pie have been sparring for time for a
couple of years Knowing their con-
tention has no merit they seek delay
on the plan of Micawber, waiting for
something to turn up.

Some might suppose that the pa
thetic wall of Senator Dubois that his
political life was ended came from the
heart but those who know. Mr.. Du-
bois and his biography will readily dis
Germ that he was playing to the gal
leries. 1t is true at the same time
that he is dead duck, but hope that
he may yet continue to play the game
of bunco successfully has not yet died
out of his heart. He and his affinity,
Furious ]. Cannon, will yet make
trouble for Utah, but in the end they
will fall to the ground.

The reasoning or alleged reasoning
of the Herald and the Deseret News
in regard to why the police raided some
gambling dens a few days ago is too
deep for the ordinary intelligence.
There is such thing as a person out
generating himself. That is the fix
of the News and the Herald in their
desire to throw discredt on the
American" administration. The fool
ish part of it is that the administration
having committed enough errors"
of head and heart to damn it there is
no need for the Herald and News to
manufacture stuff especially such silly
stuff as they have been putting forth
regarding Chief Sheets and the police
department.
| A lot Of foolish women in New York
have petitioned the United States SEN
ate not to approve the appointment of
a Mr.. Winters to the position of post
master in a small unimportant town
in Idaho, called Montpelier, for the
reason that Mr.. Winters is either a
Mormon or has Mormon sympathies.
This is about the limit. The women of
New York should attend to their own
business, if they have any, and leave
the United Senate to attend to it's
business. This henpecked style of
Legislation of which the two rakes ex-
Senator Cannon and soon-to-be--ex.
