CHINESE THREATEN UNCLE SAM.
iIl-wilI Of Four Hundred Million Peo-
pie Result Of Exclusion Law.

Mexico City.-The most aggressive
of Chinese concerning the United
States exclusion act is document
written by Kong Yu Wei. the leader
OF the Chinese reform movement. who
recently left this city for New York.
The letter was written to President
Roosevelt. seeking to enlist the Presi-
dents aid In revision OF the present
laws. Just before leaving the city
last week Kong Yu Wei gave to the
Daily Record. an afternoon paper pub
lished here. n copy Of this letter. and
authorized Its publication today. Mr..
Kong says:
TOO rigid enforcement OF the cx-
clusion laws have brought about the
iil.will OF 100000 people. A united
Chinese nation will seek to assert its
rights and avenge Its wrongs. Its
anger will be vented In ways that
dread to think Of.
THE time will come when small
spark Will start an uncomfortable con.
fingration and the friendly ties be-
tween our people be severed beyond
remedy. Americans have been wont
to condemn Russian cruelty toward the
Jews. How much more humane has
been Americas treatment OF the Chin
esc?
Can civilized America reconcile
such treatment OF their fellow crea-
lures with divine law? Courtesy and
kindness should be reciprocal. but

Fire of unknown origin which broke
out March 5 at the machine shop of the

ruined much valuable machinery, des-
troyed one of the automobiles belonging
to the company, and burned the wood

be several thousand dollars, the auto
mobile alone being valued at $4,000. The
damaged building was comparatively
new one, having been built only about
six years ago to replace the old machine

Work for Americans.

Chicago Journal.
The national government has done
Q good thing In ordering Saturday half
holidays for Its employees during .fnnc.
July and August. On the Saturdays
affected four hours shall constitute a
days work, but a fall days pay will
be allowed. Though this order is in
striking contrast to the tendency OF
the times, as exhibited in private busi,
ness, it is wise. The American people
work too hard and too long; there IS
no doubt Of that. Alone among the
nations ofsthe earth we devote all our
energies to labor. We labor even on
Our too infrequent holidays. as people
know who reflect on the fact that the
day after they are always tagged oat.
Our pace Is too hot for health, COW.
fort Or happiness. AS a nation, We arc
young and have not yet learned what
older nations long ago learned, that
rest and recreation are necessary II
life Is to be worth while at all.
Tie United States has risen 10
wealth in an extraordinarily short
time. but We might as well have taken
another hundred years to arrive at orlr
present position and had nor fun out
OF existence as we went along, We
boast that We have passed England in
material success, but what loes Eng
land care? The British people enjoy
themselves every day. They do not
work anything like rs hard as w do.
They have innumerable holidays
which they do not abuse as we abuse
ours. When they die they have the
satisfaction Of knowing that they got
something Of pleasure out OF life. 9th.
er nations take a similar view. In
FRANCE and Germany people devote
more time to recreation than We do.
They may not grow so rich, but they
are much happier Than Americans.
