NEW LAW GOVERNING CHINESE

Governor Frear has received from
Frank Pierce, First Assistant Secre-
tary of the Interior, a translation of
the new law governing Chinese
naturalization and citizenship, approx
ed this year by the imperial edict and
now in force. On account of the large
number of Chinese and children born
of Chinese fathers or mothers in this
Territory, the edict is of much local
interest and is herewith published in
full:

"A that young physicians are not anx-
ious to become attached to the army.
There is at present LACK of candi-
dates who present themselves for ex-
animation for appointment to commits
sions in the medical corpn The ex-
aminations held a few weeks ago in
all parts of the country by special
boards convened for the purpose re-
suited in producing about ons-half the
number of Professionally qualified can
didates needed to fill the existing va
cancies.
Formerly the difficulty in obtaining
satisfactory candidates was attributed
to the lack of high-grade positions to
which promotions could be made 1t
was believed that with the increase of
service pay and the improved chances
of advancement there would be more
candidates and the vacancies would
be filled. This result has not been
realized, and officials of the army
medical corps are casting about for
some explanation of the condition that
deprives that important branch of the
military establishment of properly
equipped candidates.
The initiN pay of new appointee
amounts to more than $4,000 a year,
which is much better than a young
physician is likely to receive when he
begins his practice in civil life upon
graduation. The known advantages

of income and final retirement at the
age of 81 years or before that time
for disability would, it was thought,
prove attractive.
The suggestion that the entrance
examination is too exacting is not ac-
cepted as a reason by the authorities,
who say the requirements are no more
than should be within the capacity of
graduates of The best medical schools.
1t is out of the question, it is stated at
the surgeon generals office, to reduce
the requirements, and the vacancies
will go unfillee, save by the employ
ment Of surgeons as officers in the
medical reserve corps, if the reasons
for the present condition lie in that
direction
One aid to the solution of the prob
lem may be that Of having a perman-
ent examination board sitting in
Washington, before which young men
who are believed to be qualified may
appear at any time during the year.
There will be, as we'll, the usual semi
annual examinations. 1t is possible
that the graduates have hitherto
found it inconvenient to await before
the regular board at the Army Med
ical school,
When they pass thu physical and
professional examinations they will
be commissioned at onte as first lieu
tenants in the medical reserve corps
and detailed for duty at some army
post, later coming to the school in
the next regular class for training
and the final examination which de-
termines whether the reservist shall
go into the permanent establishment
and in what position he shall be COM
missioned. 1t is hoped by this means
to restore the army medical corps to
its full strength required to meet the
demands made upon medical officers
at home and abroad.

WASHINGTON.-T appeared in
w the newspapers the other day a
story to the effect that when former
President Roosevelt returns to this
country from his African hunt Presi-
dent TAFT will request him to take
charge CO the Panama canal and COM
plete that gigantic work.
Friends of the former president say
IT would be no surprise if the report
turned OFT correct. Mr.. Roosevelt, as
is well kaown, took the greatest per-
sonal interest in the Panama canal
and there is no gainsaying the truth
that had it not been for the little
opera boGffe revolution" on the 18TH
mus there would have been no Pana-
ma canal, and had it not been for Mr..
Roosevelt there would have been no
successful revolution" But that Is
history NOW and the work of con-
strUcting The canal, according to the
reports received here. is progressing
nicely.
Just about two years ago, when the
country was discussing the question
of the denomination of Roosevelt, a
certain western senator in converse
ton said:

dation for the stories that President
Roosevelt will be candidate to sue

days to hear a man remark with dis
gust: ut is impossible to have good
painting done these days; either the
paint is not good or there are no good
painters" This, however, is not true.
There is good paint, and there are
good painters. But the question Is,
bringing them together.
One cannot expect a satisfactory
painting job without pure white lead.
There is a way to make sure you are
getting pure white lead without test
ing it. See that the keg bears Ma
tional Lead Company's famous Dutch
Boy Painter trademark, which is a
positive guarantee of purity. However,
anyone can test white lead. National
Lead Company, 1902 Trinity Bldg,
New York City, will send you a lead
tester and painters outfit, consisting
of book of color schemes, specifica-
tons, etc., upon request.

Roosevelt May Complete Work on Canal

when he made his famous statement
on the night of election, 1904. Now
the question is, what will he do after
he leaves the White House?
while l have not discussed the
question with the president, l feel that
the one great work for him to do,
after leaving the White House, is to
complete the construction of the Pan
anna canal. He is just the man to
cessful conclusion. 1t would link his
name with this great waterway and
preserve it for all time to come.
President Roosevelt has the ener-
gy, the force, the determination and
the ability to push the work to a
speedy completion. l do not know
that the president would undertake
this task, If requested, but am salts
fled that his selection and acceptance
of the appointment would give general
satisfaction"

time be brought into the limelight as
the one man to take charge of the
work of building the Panama canal,
with which he had so much to do as
president of tbs United States.
1t can hardly ne questioned that but
for the midnight successful revolution
in Panama the location of canal would
still be up in the air, as it had been
for many years. The friends of the
former president sly 1t would be a
fitting tribute to him that he be asked
by President Taft to take hold and
complete the work.

the batsman could have been thrown

way of scoring extra bases taken by j
