THE HEIGHT OF HOSPITALITY.

The normal Spaniard, such is his
nature, education and training, could
die watching bull fight. The bloodier
the fight, the happier his death would
be. What the baseball game is to the
American, what the duello is to the
Frenchman, the bull fight is to the son
of sunny Spain.
Then here's a noble Spaniard who
died a philanthropist, if report lieth
not. He had persuaded himself of his
purpose to leave these earthly scenes,
having tired of the rule of Porfirio Diaz
of Mexico. but he proposed to depart in
no stereotyped manner. He made great
preparation, and he babe three hum
bred friends to a great exhibition. When
they had assembled, he entered his pri-
vate bull-fighting arena and allowed
one of his blooded and bloody bulls to
gore him to death. 1t was a great &C.
casion.
Some of the unappreciative call it
suicide, but they don't understand. 1t
was the act of a philanthropist He
loved his fellowmen enough to give
them the show of their lives.

ouR POOR ROADS

It is not particularly desirable ad-
vertising that the New York to Paris
automobiles are giving our American
roads. At the same time it may be the
means of bringing about a reform by
shaming the public conscience into i'm
proving the highways of the country.
Speaking of this the Washington Star
says:
1.-THE argument will be employed that
the automobiles ran through a storm
swept country when snow and rain
made the roads nearly, and in some
places wholly, impossible. Stuff! This
is thin salve for wounded pride. The
storms made the roads little worse
than they would have been in fair
weather, but the American road as a
whole is bad in the best of weather.
"a good road is in a measure indie
pendent of the weather. That is one
of the chief points about a good road.
A shower of rain or a furry of snow
will not make it impossible. In fine
weather one might get along without a
road, for a man might travel through
the fields and woods. The main trouble
about bad roads is that they are al
ways in the worst condition when they
are the most needed.
IF the New York-Paris race should
stimulate Americans to better their
roads the race will not have been run

One of the latest of these jury
puzzles occurred in far off Maine,
where a man had been selling deer
skins and was indicted for killing
deer out of season. This deer slayer
put in the plea that the hide of the

EFFECT OF EXCLUSION LAWS.

An immigration law with restric-
tive features was approved March 4,
1903,a and another February 20, 1907.
Both of them forbade the admission
of anarchists as well as of various
other classes of persons. According
commissioner one anarchist was de-
barred in each of the fiscal years
1904, 1905 and 1906. No anarchists
were debarred in 1907, but almost
twice as many aliens were rejected in
that year as in the 1904. We give the
1905, 1879; 1906, 12,432; 1907, 49,
064. The number Of persons return
ed within three years after landing
was: 1904, 479; 1905. TAT; 1906, 615;
1907, 925.
A statement for the fiscal year 1907
will indicate how the causes of ex-
clusion operate. The largest number
of persons debarred come under the
classification "paupers or likely to be-
come public charges The total for
the year was 1856. Other classes
follow: Loathsome or dangerous con-
tagious disease, $500: contract labor
ers, 1,434; convfcts. S42; insane per-
sons, 1S9: under provisions of Chi
nese exclusion act, 100; without pass
port, go; idiots, 90; prostitutes, IS;
polygamists, 10; persons who procure
or attempt to bring in prostitutes, 1;
accompanying aliens, 1874. AS we
have seen there were no anarchists
and there were no assisted inmi-
grants. In noting the increase of ex-
clusion between 1904 and 1907 1t
should. of course, be remembered
that there has been a large increase
of immigration, but the rate of in
crease is larger in the former case
than in the latter. We should judge,
therefore, that earnest efforts had
been made to enforce the restrictive
features of the 1aws.-Chicago Rec

air, as one might say. II the hide is
not part of the deer, where in the
anatomy of the animal kingdom does
it belong? If we understand any
thing of the subject the hide cannot
exist and flourish without the deer,
and we have not seen a deer that
could live and flourish without a
hide. We don't know how 1t is in the
Maine regions but even in our mild
climate we don't think a deer could
live without a skin. In short. no
matter from what point of view we
regard this remarkable verdict it
leaves us without a leg to stand on.
