WI TING FANG HAS
HIS QUEUE CUT OFF

In China today Mr.. WI Ting Fang
may his tribe increase-will visit
barber to sacrifice his queue on the
altar of progress, and his example is
being followed today by scores of
Chinese in New York. The queueless
Chinaman, not long ago the exception,
will soon be all but universal. RI
ready the great shearing has had it's
effect upon the rat and puff market,
and dealers in human hair are begin
ming to view with alarm the great
slump that is bound to follow todays
big shearing.
Originally imposed upon them by
their Manchu conQuerors as a mark
of servitude, the Chinese in the course
of time came to consider the queue a
badge of honor, without which a Chi
naman was distinctly sin bad" with
his fellows. The passing of the queue
heralds a psychological change, in
volving an acceptance of the civiliza-
ton of the whites, which may even-
tually make China the ruling power
of the world At least, so say the stu
dents Of oriental conditions.
Mrs. George Grout of La Grande,
was among the out of town people

SECOND YEAR OF
SECOND CUBAN HISTORY

Havan, Jan. 3O-Cuba today rounds
out the second year of its second peri
Cd of independence, which began
with the termination of the United
states provisional government and the
withdrawal of Gov. MagoOn on Jan.
2S, 1909. Apparently the republic is
now firmly established, with President
Gomez completely dominating the sit
uation, and the third year of his ad-
ministration promises to be the most
prosperous in the history of Cuba.
Many reports to the contrary have
been circulated in the United States
by press agents of American finan-
cial interests which would profit from
another intervention, but they are
baseless

Mr.. Hale's Statement.

San Francisco, in its Ught for the
exposition, is relying entirely on facts.
It is making no appeal to sentiment,
nor is it drawing political or party
lines. The campaign for recognition by
congress has become a personal one
and day by day the facts in the case
are being presented to those members
who have open minds and who are
ready and willing to decide on the ac-
tual evidence.
The factors in the case are many
San Francisco expects recognition for
several reasons. 1t has the money
and the energy with which to make a
success of the eXpposition-an exposi-
ton which will reflect not only the
pride of the Pacific coast in one of the
worlds greatest achievements, but
the pride Of the whole people of the
United States.
The campaign has been carried on
by the San Francisco delegation on an
extremely high plane. Everything has
been open and above board There
has been no trickery attempted, and
no votes sought except on the ground
that san Francisco from every point
OF view, and for every reason, is the
logical place to celebrate the opening
OF the Panama canal.
Fact after fact has been presented
clearly and tersely, and little by little
the significance of the situation has
appealed even to the men who had ex-
pressed their Indifference early in the
fight.
Business Viewpoint Urged.
From business point of view there
is no gainsaying the statements and
assertions Of the promoters Of San
Francisco's interests. Congressman
have been asked merely to consider
the proposition from a business point
of view. but every congressman has
also been impressed with the fact that
the man or woman who went to Cali
fornia to see the great Panama ex-
position would find in the state itself
many things of greater interest, of
greater beauty, and of greater attrac-
ton than would be contained in the
white city of the exposition itself.
There has been noticeable in the
past few days, a steady drift in the
house of representatives toward San
Francisco. This has been due to the
continued and continuous work of the
delegates, both in congress and out,
who have presented the situation
from the point of view not only of the
people of California but of the gov
ernment ITSELF
Frisco Has Ability.
1t is generally admitted that there
Is no doubt whatever of the ability
of San Francisco to hold an expo5i-
tion which would be unique, success
full, both from a financial and artistic
viewpoint.
San Francisco wants no government
aid, recognizing the fact that the fed
eral government time and again has
been drawn into expositions and then
compelled to foot the bills. 1t does
