pRisoN FOR DAY.

competent jurisdiction had decreed he
should be. And for the fact that, as
far as the law is concerned, he viii

the Communication of sentence or the
pardon of a man convicted of murder,
the fact that the holiday season is
upon US had much to do, no doubt,
with the action of the board of par
dons in saving Day from execution.
One of his attorneys made the state
ment that he only asked the life of
the condemned man as a Christmas
gift. It seems to us that was a good
deal TO ask. Day certainly thought il
was, if we may judge by his manifes-
tatOns of joy when he heard the
news. The Herald has no quarrel with
the board of pardOEs for saving Day.
nor has it any quarrel with those who
came to his rescue. 1t was shown that

They We're. in fact, very strong for

years ago. Within the memory of
men who are still hale and hearty
foreign devils,'' regardless of their
nativity, were not permitted to reside

The objection of the yellow men is
to the manner in which the exclusion
law has been enforced. The Chinese
have. indeed, been treated brutally by
our immigration officers. And some
sections OF the law are intolerable. For
example, the section that makes it
impossible for Chinese, even though
he may have been born in this coun-
try, to pay a visit to his home coun-
try and then return TO the United
States. Not long ago an educated Chi

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

Attorney General Bondparte has Just
handed down a decision with relation
to the national pure food and drug
act tlat is of general interest. The
question as to whether or not a dealer
who Tetails food products can be GRIM
inally prosecuted for selling impure
stuff when the stuff has been guaran-
teed 10 him by the wholesaler or man
ufacturer, was put up to the attorney
general. He holds that the retailer is
not liable, under such circumstances,
to criminal prosecution, although his
goods can be lawfully condemned and
destroyed. His only recourse is in a
civil action against the vendor
The question is one that has caused
the retailers a good many anxious mo-
ments. They are compelled in the
course of their business to handle
thousands of bottles and cans and
packages of food products. 1t is OBJ
viously impossible for them to assure
themselves of the purity of the con-
tents. To do this 1T would be neces-
sary for them to open every package
and submit the contents TO a chemist
for analysis. And this would render
the stuff, in some measure at least,
unstable. SO the retailers are obliged
to rake the goods on trust from the
wholesalers and manufacturers.
The latter are thoroughly aware of
the pl ovisions of the pure food and
drug act. Everything they put out
bears a label giving the serial number
under which they work and announce
ment that the contents of the package
are guaranteed under the statute en-
acted by congress. This does not
mean that the contents are guaranteed
by the United States government, as
many people seem to suppose. 1t is
merely prima facia evidence that the
manufacturers have complied with the
law. The government does not main
tain inspectors at every food product
before it would guarantee the output.
Government inspectors are on the
road constantly. Instances of the
seizure of goods by them and the in
stitution of criminal procedures
against the manufacturers are of fire.
quent occurrence. An honest effort is
apparently being made 10 enforce the
law, and the result has been a decided
improvement in the quality of the
manufactured things we eat. AS long
as the makers believe the government
will rigidly enforce the law they will
be careful about complying with it's
provisions.
The decision of Attorney General
Bonaparte will We believe, be regard
ed as eminently fair and just. 1t
would be unfair TO prosecute the re-
taller for a first offense, especially if

OUR CHINESE TRADE.

The fact that American exports to
China have decreased many millions
Of dollars is causing some comment
and considerable alarm. American
manufacturers do not like to see this
important field taken away from them.
and naturally so. because it is a, most
valuable field. An idea of the falling
away in the trade may be gained from
a single item, the item of cotton cloth.
In The fiscal year 1895 the value Of the
cotton cloth exported from the United
States TO China was nearly S27, SOC, O00
For the fiscal year 1907. ended June 30,
the value was under s., 500, goo. This is
a drop of upwards Of so per cent.
Nearly one-sixth of all the imports
into CHINA in 1905 were from the Unit
ed States. That is. this country led all
competitors for trade with the Chinese
Today our exports are far TO the rear
of the procession. They are, compare
lively speaking. doing practically no
business at all with China. If the
circumstances had been normal the
American trade with the Celestial en-
pire would have vastly increased since
1905 Certainly our manufacturers
have been turning out a greater value
of products. and it is becoming daily
more necessary for them to enter for
eign fields
1t is not hard TO understand why
American goods are unpopular in
China. The exclusion act is at the
bottom of the virtual boycott that has
existed for many months. And by
this we do not mean the exclusion act
per Sc. Every nation has the right to
bar from its ports immigration that
IS considered for any reason undesira-
