MAKING tho Array Attractive.


Recruiting officers are making the

young men who have an eye to the

purpose In advertising the fact that
after thirty years soldering the man

To Improve Immigration.

With the cost Of living going up in
the countries which supply the bulk
Of the million of men, women and
children who emigrate to the United
States every year and the wages of
mechanics and common laborers re
naming low, there is little room to
doubt that the ocean liners will con-
tinue to pour their streams of adyen-
turers upon these shores. The sug-
gestions Of Commissioner of Immigra
ton Frank p. Sargent In his annual
report are therefore both moderate and
sensible. He does not go into the
elaborate plans for reducing the num-
bers OF immigrants which have been
brought to the attention of congress
from various sources during the past
two years, but contents himself with
suggestions designed to keep out the
admittedly undesirable.
His recommendations include the es-
adjustment OF government physicians
at the principal ports Of embarkatlon
70 see that the physically unnt are not
permitted to start across the ocean,
the appointment OF women inspectors
to travel on the big steerage ships, ell
Their an international agreement for
the detection Of criminals or else the
requirement Of passport from the
country Of the immigrants citizenship,
and, lastly, the calling Of an interna-
tional conference on the subject at the
earliest practicable day.
ALI Of these plans look toward
stricter enforcement of existing law
rather than any extensive changes in
our present statutes. Mfr. Sargent
would try the effect OF stricter en-
forcement Of the present provisions
before seeking to extend the limits OF
our exclusion acts,

LIE SAVING and Law.

WAR WITH YELLOW RACE.

I'VE will see within the next ten
years an army of 100000 men in
China, drilled and instructed by Jap
anese, and when that time comes 1t
will GUST the whites from that coun-
try"
This prophetic statement by Asso-
ciate Justice Harlan, Is not the utter
ance of an irresponsible unthinking
person who jumps at conclusions, but
comes from one of the deepest
thinkers and closest students of
world movements in the country.
The probabilities of such a war are
the result of the white mans burdens
being carried to the yellow race under
a deluslOn that 1t is his duty to re-
deem the yellow skinned heathern
and teach them to become civilized
Christians. Every dollar spent for
that purpose is so much contributed
toward awakening the sleeping Chin
ese dragon to activity and the white
man will some day recognize the fact
that the people who have sacrificed
home and friends we're poor mis-
guided mortals who warmed the viper
to later become its victims. The So
called civilization of the Chinese will
prove to be one of the eollosal blum
ders of the world.
When the tramp Of civilized Chin
ese soldiers Is echoed across the
Pacific, the great dragon win swim
in the white mans blood. This IL the
reward In store for those foreigners
who are on Chinese soil when the
eruption comes. Japanese officers are
not training Chinese soldiers for
amusement and when these two ma
tions unite their civilized forces under
the inspiring cry OF The Orient for
the Orientals," there will be things
doing on both sides OF the Pacific.

won by devotion to Standard interests
through many years. He has been

he controls is fresh in the public mind.

The Navel ORANGE.

For a product OF nature a California
navel orange as 1t graees the breakfast
table or the push cart is about the
most artificial thing In the world. It
Is also a very striking Illustration OF
the fact that while beauty may be
only skin deep 1t counts for a whole
lot. To begin with, the navel orange
OF California Is an exotic, reaching its
present habitat after devious wander
ing. And. be it ever so sweet tasting
II its skin has had its beauty marred 1t
scarcely ever gets farther than the
orchard where It grew. Not only that,
but even the most comedy ones before
they are boxed and shipped are brush
ed by machinery and polished and
otherwise fused with to give them a
beauty which mere nature never would
have provided william II. Stewart In
