A POSSIBLE AMBITION TO BE FIT

What induces the turbaned Hindu to come to this country is . puzzle to tho natives; they don't know enough English to be able to indicate a solution to the mystery. If the round globe were searched for samples of the unfit for assimilation 10 this northern coun- try, the Hindu would be recognized as the prize at sight. But still they keep coming. Not only are they feeble physically but their customs, fixed by religion, which iorbids them to live, eat and sleep and have their being like the people with whom they must here compete, makes them SD imPossi- biltv. Therefore the insistence With which they come only to ordered again and again to move ou-even at the ez- pense of the state, as was the case with one carried down ou the last trip of the Princess May-becomes more and more mystery. They have been repeating the experiment for years here and show no signs of having had enough in Alas ka. The interest grows when it is seen tha, they have invaded the equally rig orous mining districts of Northern Idaho only, Of course, to be.ordered out. However. it is only from the strong that they can learn to be strong. Per haps this is the explsuation-they really want to know how.

Will See How It Works Before March
+Trying to Obey New Laws.
Washington, Feb. Decentralization
is expressed by the interstate COM
merce commission over two condi-
tons that have arisen within a day
or two In concrete form they mean
that American railway officials, as a
class, are doing all that lies in their
power to meet situations that have
developed under the new laws apply
ing to interstate traffic.
Information has reached the com.
mission that the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad proposes to put into effect to-
day, throughout it's system the So
called "nine-hour law" which, by it's
terms, does not become operative un-
til March next. The law limits the
hours of service of all classes of train
operatives, particularly locomotive
engineers and firemen, train dispatch
ers, railway telegraphers, tower men
and signal operators.
Another source of qualification to
the commission Is the very general
compliance of the railroads with that
provision of the Hepburn act which
makes it obligatory upon carriers to
submit to the commission monthly re-
ports covering every. phase of the
operation of interstate roads.
