likely from admissions on the part OF

-'Notice-Wrecking His Own Race
Blackmailing His Countrymen = The
Constituencies, Wicked -
There is a wicked man, a native Of
China who has been residing at FL
Paso for some years, and always brags
about his skill in smuggling. But in
actual fact he has no skill or ability at
all The only power which he has Is
through the use of large sums OF

himself in working out his wretched
schemes to trap his countrymen- Re-
Gently his cruel strategems have been
exposed and he was indicted by the
American officers, but his wretched
heart is not destroyed, and he is regret
ting that his cOuntrymen are not fall
ing into his trap. So lately he has

earth cannot bear him
"Blackmailing has been practiced in
China but it was never thought that il
could be done in this civilized and fres
country. Just think how unprOsressivs
our country IS. So much so that the
people there hardly make living, and
some of them have to sell their farms
or mortgage their houses to escape
their miserable condition by crossing
the great ocean, hoping thatsthey may
make a little money to support their
families. After having luckily escaped
being captured by the inspectors they
meet with these wicked abuses.
Such sinful conduct should be con-
demned by all men. Is his flesh so vile

knowing Of his unfairness, which raises
lions and dirty history, so the people
of the four corners of the earth may
know of him. We do not want to
create any disturbance or make any
false accusations about him, but seeing
such conditions we can not keep our
mouths closed. If he knows that he 10
guilty and is willing to repent, a par
don may be obtained, but if he is stin
asleep to his duty we are afraid that
the three thousand Mausers will be-
fired (the severest penalty attached to
any military offense in China); that he
will be destroyed by mouths and pun
ished by pens, and that he can in no
way escape the consequences of his
cruelty and sins.
