Alice samee Happy New Year.
Those who remember the dis
graceful orgies with which thousands
of New Yorkers-leaders in the soci-
ETY. Of this our Christian city-wel-
coined the arrival of 1908. may find
food for reflection in comparison of
that festival with the New Year cele-
bration held in Chinatown this week.
John Chinaman, the heather, burn
ed great deal OF ill.smelling punk
and incense, and had great many
feasts. and otherwise comported him
self in n somewhat hilarious manner
in greeting the good New Year 4G05
But not in all Chinatown. alien
though 1t persistently is to our mod
ern civilization. was there to be wit
messed a scene one-tenth so disgrace
full as some enacted in New York's
leading restaurants and hotels on the
evening of December 81 and the early
hours of January l.
The good people of New York have
many missions in Chinatown and are
making plans to enlarge the scope of
their efforts to bring John to a knowl-
edge OF his deep and abiding sinful
ness. Would 1t not also be well for
the celestials to build joss house on
upper Broadway?
