Here was sensation for Shanghai.
The rejected men have been doing
business In this city, for many years;
there records were, presumably, an
open book, so there is significance In
the fact that / have been able to find
nobody to question the essential JUS
tice of the courts action. Naturally
the men can not practice in the Brit
ish court, and their "face" is gone ut
terly. This swift, summary, ominous
action set Shanghai's underworld ag-
og. What would this as yet uncom-
pretended judge do next?
Nobody had TO wait long to diScov-
er. Basing his action on the common
law, Judge Whitley summoned before
him eight proprietresses Of the most
influential resorts. One escaped by
pleading Spanish citizenship, which
the district attorney was unable to
disprove. The Spanish consul issued
certificates for two American gfrls",
but they were ignored by the court,
and he afterward attempted to with
draw them. The girls pleaded guilty,
thus leaving the Spanish consul In an
unpleasant predlcament. So all the
accused except one were given q fine
of $1,000 each, which was more elou-
uent than many lectures. The i'm
mediate result was to send post-haste
out Of Shanghai and out OF China
more than half hundred American
girls" who reign In the east seems
now to have been forever broken. OF
course, all this is revolutionary here.
When supposedly respectable Brit
ishers and Americans objected, the
Judge drily remarked that America is
willing TO surrender the monopoly of
this sort OF trade and reputation.
Then a notorious character, imam
higher up" fell into the foils on the
charge OF running gambling den and
house OF aSSignation. He is now
spending six months in Jail, with lei
sure to contemplate the advisability
of leaving China. Another man, a
hotel keeper and crook, was up before
the Judge upon a civil charge; he had
rented to a syndicate of Chinese GER
tain gambling privileges at the race
track, after be knew full well that
gambling had been interdicted by the
municipal council. Hearing these
facts, the Judge, In open court. order
ed q criminal information lodged
against the man. Now he is spending
q year In jail.
Before this article Is printed certain
other eminent Shanghai rascals will
have got their dues, and the court will
have moved on to Tien TO repeat the
same procedure there, and later to
Hankow and Canton.
Judge Wiley has court stan after
his own mind: DR.. Frank Hinekley,
a Columbia graduate, as clerk OF court;
]. Bassett, as district attorney, and
u. r. Leonard as marshal. In the
collection OF evidence be has been
largely dependent upon one member
OF the missionary body here; and at
Tien Tsin expects another missionary
to perform a like service.

JOSEPH PULITZER, proprietor OF the
Post Dispatch and New York World,
In a cablegram describes the ideal
newspaper as follows: IAN institution
which should always fight for progress
and reformI never tolerate injustice
or corruption; always denounce de.
magogues Of all parties; never belong
TO any party; always oppose priv
ileged classes and public plunder;
never lack sympathy with the poor
always remain devoted to the public
welfare; never be satisfied with mere
ly printing news; always be drastically
independent; never be afraid to at
tack wrong, whether by predatory
plutocracy or by predatory poverty"

MEXICO MAY HAVE
BUSINESS COLLEGE

In all probabilities Mexico will
soon have q business college and one
that will be conducted by the head OF
a number of the states best known
schools of that nature. B. e. Parker,
of Jefferson City, will arrive here, in
several days, to look the field over and
find a suitable location.
Mr.. Parker, who has the Parker
Practical Business College in Jeffer-
son City. also has institutions at Hol-
den, Mo-, Warrensburg, Mo-, Houston
Mo-, and several other cities in Mis-
souri,. He has written here inquiring
of several business men, because, of
late, they have been corresponding
with him trying to engage stenograph
ers. He asks no pecuniary assistance
but only desires class OF forty TO
start with and after that the mainte-
nance OF the college will be compari-
lively simple.
In veiw Of the fact that such a
school should pay here and that 10
willprove beneficial in a number Of
ways. This has been want Mexico
has had for quite q while and all the
assistance possible should be accorded
Mr.. Parker in the matriculation Of
pupils enough to justify him to open
soon.
He will use for his college quarters
the entire second floor of one of our
largest business houses requiring quite
a lot of room for the different depar t.
ments that are in the curriculum, and
to accumulate the students.

GOOD ROADS And
GOOD BUSINESS

To the Editor OF the Evening Ledger.
The question, "How to make Mex
leo a CITY," so ably discussed in your
editorial columns has aroused deep in
terest,and, with your kind permission,
/ beg leave to offer a few suggestions.
First of all, Mexico can not live up
on itself; its life blood must come
from the outside. To reach this out
side good roads are absolutely essen
tial, not roads good one day and i'm
passible the next, but roads that are
ready for travel week days and Sum
days alike. Without hard roads, lead
ing in all directions, Mexico may as
well give up the hope Of being a city
Of Importance. Suppose that New
York were inaccessible five months
of the year, how long would 1t retain
its supremacy as commercial center9
Good roads cost money, but they bring
in ten dollars for every dollar spent
upon them. A hundred thousand
dollars spent on roads In Audrain
county would add million dollars to
the value OF the adjoining property.
Nothing in fact lpays like preliable
roads. They make easy riding, easy
hauling, plenty of pleasure travel, and
Increase in all ways 1.-THE value of sur
rounding property. Business men
with valuable stocks of goods exposed
for sale sit idly around their counters,
complaining Of bad roads. Men and
women two miles out of town, In need
Of those same wares which the mer-
chant is so anxious to sell, can not get
to town to buy them. can take you
Mr.. Editor, to a little county in an
eastern state where land brings four
times what it will bring here and will
not produce anything like ours will,
all because the people can hitch up
and go when they please, without any
worry about mud and break downs.
We know something Of the value Of
alrailroad to a community, but a rail-
road cuts a small part in the daily
life Of the people when comparted
with sidewalkes and macadamized |
roads. Counting every passage, how
many people pass around the square
every day, one side or another, and
how many arrive in town or leave il |
by the railroads? Suppose the Square |
were lane Of mud? Its passengers |
must then be limited to those who |
can wear gum boots. We walk the |
side walks because they are clean and |
dry; we avoid the mud and water |
because we do not like them.
The writer will in time submit other |
alone this line.

Last spring an antigambling cru
SADIE was skillfully conducted, Robert
E. Lewis, the Young Mems Chris
tian Association secretary, being one
OF the prime workers In it. Without
going into details, it is enough to say
that the leading citizens who com
prise the municipal council were sub
jected to such pressure that they out
lawed all race week gambling, except
ing betting upon the races within
the club house grounds. This was an
enormous stride for reform and the
next step total abolition Of gambling
and licensed vice Of any sort is newt
able and near. So Shanghai, the city
where everything goes," was acqua-
inted with reform and made ready,
psychologicallY, for the advent OF the
man OF the hour.
ENTER THE MAN WITH THE SQUARE
JAW.
Then came Jove with his thunder
bolts. Nobody out here, or elsewhere
apparently, had paid any particular
attention to the creation by congress
last year OF new United States cir
cult court for China. So its staff was
on the scene before the Significance
of the event was at all understood.
The judge appointed by the president
was the man above all other pre-em-
inently qualified for his task? Judge
Whitley had gone with Gov, Taft to
the Philippines as district attorney.
He had set the legal machinery in
motion there and had run out OF the
islands'a lot OF vicious camp followers,
big and little, who were exploiting
the Filipinos and soldiers and making
trouble generally. Judge Whitley Is
a quiet man, with goodly frame, a
square jaw and an even disposition;
q man not given to delivering homi-
lies from the bench or announcing
bis intentions beforehand or explain
ing his actions afterward. He is the
sort Of man to scour the United
Stats escutcheon In Shanghai, where
1t has been more than a little tarnish-
ed in times past by Americans, official
and unofficial.
The day after his arrival be calmly
announced that American lawyers
who expected topractice in his court
must pass examination as to their
professional qualifications, and present
certificates Of their moral character.
That would seem an innocent enough
procedure, warranted by practice In
the United States, until one has heard
described the type of legal shysters
who for the most part infest Shang-
hai, making its badness worse. Eight
men attempted the examination. Six
Of them failed ignominiously to at
tain an average of 90 out OF a possible
LOO. lti is, said by those close to the
Judge that had these men passed the
all but one Of them
would have been disbarred on the
basis of character. At least one of

pines, and had before felt Judge Will
