Unnecessary pIseourtesy to Chinese

Unnecessary Discourtesy to Chinese.
AS the laws are framed it would ap-

exclude persons of the Chinese race In
general, and to admit only such per-
sons of the race as fall within certain
expressly stated exemptions-as If, in
other words, exclusion was the rule

the Chinese race lawfully entitled to
admission with the same courtesy
and consideration shown to other for.
eigners, it is impossible that persons
who have to endure requirements and
formalities peculiar to themselves
should fail to take offense and to re-
sent as a humiliation the manner in
which by law they are distinguished
from natives of other countries. claws
so framed can only be regarded as
involving a discrimination on account
Of race. and it is needless to point out
that determinations on account Of

Six Hundred Pupils Marched Out as in
Fire Drill.

Altoona, Pa, Dec. 1S.-A fire that
threatened the destruction of the AL
toona high school building, erected at
a cost of $75O,O0O, started this morning
studies.
AS soon as it was discovered the bell
for the fire drill was sounded and the
children thinking it was merely an
other drill. calmly formed in line and
marched out The building was prac-
tically cleared before the arrival of the
first fire company. Within five minutes
the building was filled with dense
smoke. Had the children remained that
long many it is believed, would have
been suffocated.
The flames were placed under con-
troll with a loss of 100000.

FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL
Reliable Rumor Gives Portfolio to
George w. WicIzersham.

New York, Dec. 1S.-That Presi-
dent-elect Taft has selected George w.
Wickersham of the New York law
firm of Strong & Cadwalader to be at
torney general in his cabinet was
learned today from a source that is
regarded as reliable.
Washington, Dec 1S.-It has been
known here for several days that the
name of George w. Wickersham of
New York has been under considera-
ton for the post of attorney general.
Among others consulted by Mr.. Taft
concerning Mr. Wickersham's qualifi-
cations was Senator Knox, former at
torney general of the United States,
who is believed to be the choice of Mr..
Taft for the post of secretary of state.
Senator Knox declined to discuss the
question in any way, but it is under
stood he endorsed Mr. Wickersham
fully and argued that a man of suffi-
cient capabilities in the legal profess
sion for the attorney generalship could
not be found unless taken from the
list who have had some experience as
corporation lawyers.

A number of the Tennessee daily pa
pers have a staff of men here. Most
of them are sending out the testimony
in detail.
The witnesses were called and IA re-
sponded for the state and sc for the
defense.
J. F. Carpenter. owner of a sawmill
near Ree1foot lake, was the first wit
ness examined. He is a lawyer and
wrote the letter which led Captain Ran
kin and Colonel Taylor to go to the
Walnut Log hotel. Carpenter was ar
rested but proved his innocence. He
wished to buy from Taylor and Ran
kin some lumber on the Reelfoot lake
property owned by the West Tennessee
Land company which he claimed owned
more of the Reelfoot lake district.
The residents resented this claim to
ownership and the trouble began.
His testimony was to this effect and
to show that several of the defendants
know that Taylor and Rankin were
coming to the Reelfoot district He
also told of learning the morning after
the tragedy of the killing and of go
ing to the scene. Captain Rankin's was
lying on his back within a few feet of
the lake, a rope. one end around the
captains neck, tied with a hangman's
knot, the other thrown over the fork
of tree telling the CHASTITY story.
While Carpenter was testifying the
state produced a rope, a hangman's
moose at one end stained with ugly red
blotches here and there. The witness
identified it as the one tied around the
dead mans neck.

WORLD
SLEEPS AS THOUGH CHLORO=
FORMED EVERY NIGHT
Farmer Takes His Rest In Contrary Manner To
Most City People.
A QUESTION EASILY SOLVED AT
OUR STORE

L. T. Cooper, who Is explaining his
theory and medicine to the public, is
meeting more people each day and
seems to be attracting as much atten-
ton here as was reported from other
cities before he arrived in New York.
Cooper's theory is that modern all
ments are largely due to stomach trou-
BILE. He claims his preparation will
regulate the digestive organs in six
weeks. In explaining his theory, when
interviewed Wednesday afternoon, he
said: About three out of five people
who come to ask about my medicine
say, My nerves are all unstrung,' or
I am very nervous, or I am on the
verge of nervous .prostration.' All this
nervous trouble rs due to just one
thing-imperfect digestion
did you ever hear of a farmer with
nervous prostration? never did. The
farmer gets up early Out he goes into
the fresh air to put in a days work
that would lay most people up for a
week. At noon the dinner-horn blows.
He has worked his body so hard that
and you can bet it gets 1t. The amount
of corned beef, scabbage. potatoes,
bread, pie, milk, ETC., that he puts away
is a sight to see. Back he goes to the
fields. More hard work in the fresh air
and sunshine. Home at night with the
same enormous appetite. A big sup
per. and then he sleeps as though
chloroformed. No restless tossing all
night. Any nervous prostration for
him? Well, I guess not He doesn't
feel dull and languid all day. He doesn't
have a coated tongue and a bad taste
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1908-12-18

in his mouth. He's living the life that
nature intended him to live, and his
digestion is perfect. That's the secret
his digestion is perfect. Whenever a
man is digesting his food he's a well
man. But until the digestive organs
are in perfect condition, good health
is absolutely impossible.
"A tired, overworked stomach, pro-
duced by years Of little outdoor exercise
and too much hastily eaten food can
cause an endless amount of ailments,
among them being liver complaint, kid
ney trouble, nervous breakdown, blood
trouble, and even rheumatism"
Among a number of New Workers
who have recently stated that Cooper
had convinced them his medicines
would do what he claims is Mrs. NJ p.
Bell. of Hewlett, L. l.. who, when seen
about the matter, said: For the past
four years have been i'll with catarrh
of the stomach. My feet and ankles
have been so badly swollen that
could not walk any distance. have
tried in every way to find something
that would benefit me. but / had begun
to think that 1t was hopeless, as I was
getting slowly worse.
Thee weeks ago last Saturday
started taking this Cooper medicine as
had been hearing lot about It from
friends. Within a week all swelling
had left my feet and ankles, and
could walk again as 1 did four years
ago. My improvement in every way
is more than / dared hope. I have no
gas on my stomach. sleep well, have a
hearty appetite, and feel as well as I
ever did in my life"

cine recently introduced in New York

ing drug stores throughout the United
States. Ask your druggist for It.
