popular standpoint, both III ancient and
modern times, the races of mankind
have been distinguished by difference
in color, and they have been classified
as the white, black, yellow and brown
races" Judge Colt, in re Saito, 62
Fed. 1867.
They Are Yellow-Those Turks.
Extracts from various communica
tions issued by the bureau follow:
"The Turks are yellow people, and
the fact that they have resided for GEN.
turtles within the geographical bound
aries of Europe does not altar that
fact. OF course, it is not purposed to
contend that the mere color or shade of
the complexion is the crucial test.
When the language of the statute re-
ferred to was adopted, it used the cas-
lest terms of distinguishing from others
the peoples of relatively similar train
ing, ideals and aspirations, with those
who had established this government.
The plain purpose was to avoid the
risk of a departure from those ideals
by incorporating into the body of the
American people other peoples than
those who could be assimilated without
such risk"
"The law refers to persons, and con-
fines the right to become naturalized
to those who are white. Without being
able to define a white person, the aver
age man in the street understands dis
tinctly what it means, and would find
no difficulty in assigning to the yellow
race Turk or Syrian with as much
ease as he would bestow that designa-
ton on a Chinaman or Korean. 1t is
believed that the judicial ruling will
be that contended for by this office.
that white persons in the original sense
of the statute were Europeans, and
that the aboriginal peoples of Asia,
the American continent, and Africa.
were excluded until the amendment
was added so as to include persons Of
African nativity and descent"
Hindus Are Barred.
Another communication specifically
bars Hindus, although classed as
Aryans or Caucassians.
nOUc says: lie dtIOlHeN Seleld l
has also held that, in his opinion, and
under no construction of the law, can
natives of British India be regarded
as white persons within the meaning
of the revised statutes"
Under the head of mentality, the
division chief has declared: 81 do not
know that the mental resourcefulness
of an alien should in any case be
made standard. / do not know ex-
actly what bearing it has, if any. If
person of mental resourcefulness of
wholly alien ideals and training, with
views fixed by political and social
standards of immemoral usage in mis-
own country. should be admitted to
citizenship, that very quality would
constitute peculiar danger to the
ideals of American citizenship" .."a.'
In another letter the bureau says:
'The Turks have never commingled
with Europeans, nor can it be said
with any truth thatthey are descend
ants of Europeans, but have maintain
ed their racial integrity strictly during
their long residence in Europe, as they
have retained their other Asiatic char
acteristics.
"There is no way of definitely deter
mining this question than by raising
the point in individual cases and hav-
ing the question decided by the courts"

Chicago, Oct l3-The state food
commission yesterday started crusade
against the dealers deceiving the pub
lie with artificially colored and smoked
fish, hams, bacon, sausage and other
edibles.
Assistant State Food Commissioner
John B. Newman and a corpse of as
sistants visited various stores and left
mass of stockers and posters in their
wake to warn customers. The iuves
tigators were amazed at the magnitude
of the fraud, and report that the de;a-
ers had full knowledge of what they
were doing. All promised to quit the
practice. 80
The investigators had their atten-
ton attracted through the cheap pric-
es at which smoked salmon was Of
fered. These fish come principally from
the beds at Columbia river, Vancouver,
B. c., and the cost of handling and
transportation make them sort of a
luxury to the poorer classes. However,
es open to all.
Examination showed that most of
the salmon" in the market was carp

They were first given a bath of pink
paint and then subjected to treatment
these are not classed as deadly poison,
in ''liquid smoke" The ingredients of
but are recognized as having "accu-
effect" meaning that con-
slant consumption will produce death.
Little of the genuine salmon was
found at the stands. These "manufac
tured" fish may be sold on condition
that they bear tags showing them to
be bogus, and there must be displayed
signs on the walls showing that goods
of that calibre are handled. All was
found in fairly good state of pres
ervation and consequently none was

viska, a bachelor fifty-ive years OF
age, who has been living the life of
recluse in a shack in the woods
ten miles northeast of Gilman in Ben
ton county, was driven insane, it is
said, by the sight of the balloon st.
Louis, No. 3.
Somaviska was leading cow along
the road when the balloon appeared.
He spied the monster in the skies, and
when it grew larger and seemed to
be making directly for him, he drop
ped the rope attached to the COW and
fled in the direction of his home,
screaming that vengeance was upon
him and that he must now die.
A. neighbor followed Somaviska, who
ran past his home into the woods and,
though he has been searched for, he
has not been seen since. 1t is believed
his mind became completely unbal-
anced at the sight and that, unless
he is found shortly, he will perish.
