The last sentence in the above quotation
is put in for the cowardly and lying slanderer TO
hide behind. The insinuation is unmistakeabfe;
it is vile and mean and can have no higher pur-
pose than that of placating the dirty white men
who are not willing to get busy at something use

ANTI-ASIATIC MEASURE.

Congressman Burton l.. French has
introduced bill in the House, prohb-
iting the immigration into this country
of all japanese and Korean laborers
The master OF any vessel that brings
them to a United States port, is liable
TO a fine of $500 and a year $ imprison-
ment. japanese and Korean laborers
who may be in this country at time
of the passage of the bill are not in
terfered with, but il they leave the
country they cannot return. unless they
can prove that they have IA wife. child,
or parent here, or property to the
amount of $1,000, or debts OF the like
amount due and pending settlement
This measure is directed exclusively
against Japan, and that Is. we believe,
a mistake. Exclusion laws ought to
be made general, and not on national
lines either. In other words, undesir-
bic citizens of all nations should be
invited to remain at home, while those
who are desirable of all nations should
naturally. be the result of any other
policy. And Americans do not like
to be boycotted--not even in China
II may be Just as well to remember
that every measure that discriminates
against Asa's Millions must hasten
the day of conflict which must come,
sooner or later, for the closing of Asia

men are being driven from other con-
tinents, they viii drive white business
and white men from their continent.
What this viii ultimately lead TO would

alliance to enforce 1t, and IL India

ing former wrongs, would rise against

Another mournful object lesson, is

Utah history affords. Of the misery that
follows the liquor traffic. If prohlbi-
ton had prevailed In Utah on Satur-

would have been averted; the muir
dered man would have been alive
today; the brand of assassin would
never have been borne by his fellow
citizen; relatives and friends of muir
dercr and victim would not be in
mourning. and the state would be
spared the expense of II proracted muir
der trial, with the possible necessity
of an execution for murder, or main
tanning prisoner Tor the rest of his
days.
Even without prohibition, II local OPP
ton laws ruled in Utah as they do else
where, there is every likelihood that the
good people of Mt. Pleasant would have
wiped away, long ago, the last yes-
tige Of The saloon traffic. Had this been

edy. such as that which is the painful

bright. brainy, ct al. Business men
want employees who can and will work.
A chicago employer Who engages
each year u large number of college
men invariably gives preference TO
those who have earned the money for
their education. He does this, because
he has learned that n man who has
made his way through college unaided,
possesses the capacity for hard work
which Is so necessary In business. His
preference IN this respect was originally
based upon the case of young man
who entered his employ several years
ago and is now one Of his most trust
cd lieutenants.
This man went from the farm to a
New York university with less than $40
In his pockets and no idea where TO
find more. He was slow to learn and
decidedly unattractive in appearance,
but he knew how to work. Before the
end of the first month he was on a self
supporting basis. At the close of his
freshman year he was actually making
money. By working from II to IA hours
day continuously for four years he
maintained fair rank in his class,
earned every dollar of his expenses, and
on commencement day had In the bank
u cash balance of five hundred dollars.
Every man who intends to make him
self OF value to his employer and to win
advancement for himself (and the two
so hand in hand despite all that pessi-
mists may say) must have this capa-
city for work. No matter how great his
ability, how thorough his education, or
how attractive his personality, these
qualities are as worthless as a locomo-
tive without fuel unless backed up by
persistence and energy. He may be
retained for time because of his abil-
ity. but in the long race he will be
found sadly wanting. Some day his
employer will be forced to give the po-
sition he has hoped for and which by
his natural talents he is prominently
fitted TO ill, to man who although
lass capable has shown himself to be a
worker

THE NEW MICRoBE.

We have today new demonstration
that it is the invisible creation that fur
nlshes the most dangerous enemies OF
mankind.
The primitive cave men OF the hui
man race who were wont to battle. so
the archaeologlsts say, with the ele-
plant the mammoth, the sabre-toothed
tiger, and the cave bear, could not have
supposed that after these great and
formidable species had been cxtermin-
ated, there would still remain foes more
dangerous and destructive than the gi-
gantic monsters of the past. Yet such
Is the case. Man had only begun the
conquest Of nature when he had con-
quered the giant animals.
In Africa new disease has for some
time been studied. Those attacked by
il became strangely lazy. But it is the
laziness of death. The slave-driver
long ago found out that there was no
use trying to whip along the man at
tackled by the sleeping disease. The
slave was cut loose and allowed to per-
ish by the wayside.
1t has been known for some time that
the sleeping sickness is caused by the
bite of a hy-an insect called Glossina
palpals AS a mesquite puts yellow
fever or malaria into the blood of white
men on this continent. so the African
lily puts the sleeping disease into the
blood of Africans.

genius and patience by giving to the
