United States could ss well excuse itself for all of the autiAsiatio agitation by the easy showing that the head and front Of that agitation is foreign to our soil, the leaders being almost uniformly men of foreign birth,
 "The London Spectator, now that the agitation Is in British territory, rather than American, takes ground in favor of exclusion of Asiatics from British Columbia. It points out that the gov ornment of India has the right, which it has exercised in the past, to forbid emigration, and considers that the time is oppOr,une for that government to make provision against any further mi grafton of Hiudus to British Columbia. The case is different with Chinese and Japanese immigrants, but the time has come, in the Spectators view, when it is necessary to treat openly aud frank ly with the governments of China and Japan, to plead the necessity, in tho h. terests of peace, of preventing any ra- cial conflicts, and to induce them by persistent diplomacy to prohibit Ihe migration of Iaborers except under strict restriction as to number, chorac- ter :snd, if possible, return.
 This is the manner ln which the United States has eudeayored to treat with the same problem. It is note worthy what changes ,n the viewpoint occur occasionally. Who would have expected, a few years since, to see Eng fish newspapers commendiug aud urg- fog for adoption the Chinese exclusion policy of this country."-Seattlo Post Iutenigencer.

II MAKES \ DIFFERENCE

"It is somewhat amusing to contrast the treatment of the anti-Asiatic riots ln Vancouver by the English newspa- pers with the comments of the same newspapers upon a much milder affair in San Francisco. Nothing was sufi. cieutIy harsh to say of the riotous ele- ment in San Francisco, while there are excuses found for the actions of the British Columbia mob, not on account of the exhibition Of race prejudice, but on economic grounds.
 "Ths London Times, following the lead of it's New York correspondent, places the responsibility for the Van cOuver outbreaks upon agitasOrs from the American side of the border, for getting that the agisatOrs could have accomplished nothing had they not found a mob in hearty sympathy with them. For the matter of that, the

JOHN g. BRADY

It was late in life when the hand of misfortune was laid heavily upon John G. Brady, for he is ,hree-scOre years and ten. Seventy years of this worlds battles usually carry with them an ex- peetatlon of relief for the balance of one's days, but such is not what the fckle Goddess has made for the uutOr- tunate former governor. A ruined and broken old man, John G. Brady, the victim of a keen and cultured scouu- d el, has no complaint to make for the treatment he has receiyed-no whim- per about the losses he has suffered. His first thought is about the friends who, through faith in him, have seen their savings swept from them. All the world knows that John Brady is honest. His fatal error was in condd- ing absolutely in the judgment and honesty of H. D. Reynolds, by whom he was betrayed. But since the whIrl- ing of this oII world began the story of betrayal has been daily recorded, and the case of John Brady is but like the one of yesterday, tomorrow and those that will come up until time shall be no more. It is idle for newspapers to maintain that Governor Brady benefit ed by the failures at valdez-his all was with the rest.
 The fact that Governor Brady was connected with a religious denOmjna- tion in a prominent manner has been the cause of much of the bitterness that IS expressed against him. This is wrong. A mans failures, shOrtcom- iugs and good qualities should not be gauged by the number of times he goes 10 church, Nor should his standing be rated according to the particular de- nomination he adheres to.
 The religion he followed was what he learned 70 lisp at the knee of some good woman and the mistortunes he recently suffered were brought about by conf deuce in false friend, Wherein, then, should John c. Brady be blamed?

Senator Dubois, of Idaho, recently illustrated his Idea of a bad and seem- ingly hopeless political situation with this story; "Jacob smithers, criminal, sat in his cell making paper boxes when a dear old lady looked through the peep-hoIe in the door inquisitively.

STRAHGEHESS OF MAN

Men are queer. Now wouldn't there be a roar when they went home to their meals, fl they had to climb up on high stool ln front of a table on which there was DO cloth, and eat their meals in that fashion? Yet majority of men, when they go to restaurant to eat, will pick out the highest stool and ieed.bOard with DO cloth on It, in pref erance to a comfortable chair and a c!oth-covered table, A man will borrow 8 chew Of tobacco, and most of them will set their teeth into the plug right where some other man has gnawed out a chew. Offer them a piece of pie at home from which the wife or one of the children has taken a bite, aud they would holler their heads oH. At home such a fellow will not drink out OI a glass or cup from which one Of the family has been drinking. Call him into back stall Of dirty old livery barn, pull out a bottle and he win stick the neck Of the bottle half way down his throat in order to get a swlg after a dozen other fellows have had the neck of that same bottle in their mouth.

 General Demand

of the Weu-Inrormed of the World has always been for simple, pleasant and efficient liquid laxative remedy of known value; laxative which physicians could sanction for family use because its com ponent parts are known to them to be wholesome aad truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action.
 In supplying that demand with its eX- cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for it's remark able success.
 That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-Informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuinc-manufactured by the Cali t5rnja Fig Syrup Co.,, only, and for sale by all leading druggists, Price fifty cents DOT bottle,

 Fairbanks Cocktails.

Chicago, Oct. I2.-The Interior, the Chicago organ of the Presbyter- ian church. in its current issue ex- plains the cocktail incident at the residence of vice-President Fair banks and places the blame for the affair on the shoulders of a woman
 "A lady living near the Fairbanks home and an intimate friend of the family" the Interior says. was about the house on that day assisting Mrs Fairbanks in the arrangements for the great company to be entertained.
 ''In her judgment it was impossible tO entertain the president of the United States fittingly without some beverage furnished to give'the spread the tone to which she believed he was accustomed. and on her own res possibility she undertook to repair the supposed commission She hastily ordered the cocktails from her hus- bands club. The club steward pre- pared them and an automobile brought them to the house in great haste The first that Mir Fairbanks knew of the violation 0f his MethO- dism was when he came to the table with his guests He dTd not touch the glass at his own plate"

 New York, Oct 12.-"I am glad Gla- dys Vanderbilt is not my daughter. There are thousands of honest young workingmen in the United States good enough to be any girls husband.

 : Buffalo, Oct 12.-The propeller City of Naples of the Gilchrist fleet came into port with two of her crew, Louis Hornbusle, forty-three years old, fire man, of Milwaukee, and James Flana- gan, thirty-five years old, a coal passer, of Buffalo, dead, and First Engineer Louis Fittinger of Buffalo badly scala ed about the feet and legs.

BACON REscUEs BOY.
Assistant Secretary of State Jumps
 Into Charles River.

Assistant Secretary of State Junps Into Charles River.
 Boston, Oct. 12.-Assistant Secretary
 of State Robert L. Bacon figured in a
 heroic rescue on the Charles river
 when he jumped overheard from the
 Harvard launch Veritas and swan to
 the rescue of two boys who had cap- sized in a canoe and succeeded in say ing the life of one. The second boy was rescued by J. s. Reed, a studeAt of Harvard, who followed Bacon into the water
 Bacon was returning from up river, where he had been observing the prac- tice of the varsity crews, in which were his two sons, Eliot and Casper, when the party on board saw canoe capsize some distance away, overturn- ed by the wash of passing tug.
 One of the occupants, J. Nutting, a Harvard student, held on to the boat. His companion, however, was swept away and had twice disappeared from sight into the water when Bacon's at tention was called to the accident. Without waiting to even slip off his coat Bacon dove into the water and struck out for the drowning boy. AL most at the same instant Reed plunged overheard and Bacon yelled for him to take the boy on the canoe while he took the other one
 After swimming for nearly seventy five yards Bacon reached the boy, who had become unconscious and was sink ing for the last time. Grasping him firmly Bacon turned back toward the launch, which was moving slowly to- ward him, and the men in the launch drew both back on board. Then the launch headed for the canoe and Reed and the other lad were picked up.
