Drunkenness and Crime.

rar~reaching results may be expected
from the recent murder here OF white
girl missionary by Chinaman which
has been attracting tho attention of the
whole country, the most surprising feat
IRE of which is the entire lack OF race
feeling over the matter. While the pun
i.hment Of the criminal Is naturally the
chief factor Mt present, students of the
s~atnose problem assert that its second
cry results will be even more important.
Curiously enough the burden OF many OF
the expected reforms In the relations in
this country between the Americans and
tho Chinese will fall largely on the
former, even extending into commercial
fields Already the present system of
providing one woman missionary for
teaching each Chinaman IN the Sunday
schools maintained by the different
churches has received so much criticism
that 1t is likely to he abandoned. Like
wise the practice OF amateur Summing
parties of visiting Chinatown at night
to inspect the dens OF the yellow men
has received a severe blow, since expert
cnce has shown that many mn innocent
taste Of the opium pipe taken on such a
trip has resulted In ruinous consequences.
The police have cleaned out many of the
immoral resorts Of Chinatown and their
verdict is that II the white race wants
protection II must leave the yellow race
alone since the habits OF the latter are
peculiarly dcgenerating when taken up
by the Caucasians For this reason n
large number OF automobile rubber
neck wagons which have heretofore
been crowded by curious visitors in their
nightly trips through the slums OF China
town are suffering period of nnocuous
desuetude. The unhealthy curiosity for
scenes Of crime and depravty. say the
police. must be curbed. and for this
reason II Is likely that tho Siegel murder
may yet result In some good-not only
in this particular field but in other direc-
tons.

ERS WITH ARTICLES ABOUT
Ex-PREsIDENT's TRIP.

The Courier has just made arrange.
ments whereby it will present to ita
readers, beginning this week, series
of articles on the ex-president's trip
into Africa.
These articles will tell about the
game that will in all probability be
met with and the habits Of the large
African animals. There will also be
given some cuts Of the presidents
arms and full description of the
more powerful pieces.
President Rooseyelt's trip is made
partially in the interests of the Smith
sonian institute and partially to graf
ify his own desire to hunt big game in
Africa.
There will be eight of these articles
and they will be very interesting.
They contain many cuts Of game, and
we are glad to be able to offer this
feature to our readers, and will pub
lish the first one this week.

Now that the election ID over there
Is just one moro thing that Ottumwa
can give its attention to. There Is the
regatta of the Central States Row
ing association to be held here In
July. This will bring earsmen here
from all parts of the middle west and
crowds to witness the races. Ottum-
wa has an ideal racing course On the
Den Moines river. There Is no reason
why regatta should not be an annual
feature, The way to make 1t an an.
nual feature Is to get out and work for
the success Of the coming meet. and
make 1t 60 successful that the boating
enthusiasts will hereafter place OF
tumwa In the front rank Of the other
cities supporting this sport.
