BACK At CAPITAL
DR.. WI, Again Minister to United
States, Is Welcomed.
Three Times Representative of celes-
tlals Arrives at Washington and
's Gladly Received by ALTO
Be Called Ambassador.

washington. - The appointment Of
Dr. WI Ting Fang, as minister
10 the United States from the
new republic of China is a matter
OF satisfaction and interest to Wash
MBton. Doctor WI has twice be.
lore this represented his govern
ment In the American capital, and is
probably the best-known Chinaman in
THIS country. While there is no Off.
clat authority for the statement, It is
mined that the post in Washington
Will be made an embassy instead of
legation In the near future. Doctor
WI VIII then be promoted from minis
ter tc ambassador.
Before the recent change of govern
ment In the Flowery Kingdom a new
minister had been appointed to sue
kSeed Mr. Chang Yin Tang, the incum-
|bent, but owing to the exigencies of
politics, the transfer was delayed I'M
I'll 1t wis decided that Doctor WI was
the logical man for the place. On his
last visit to Washington he announced
that he would return again. as he in
tended to live far beyond the century
mark.
During one of his former sojourns
In Washington he became interested
In the work of Mrs. Henderson, wife
OF former Senator John B: Henderson
OF Missouri, and with her promulgated
the doctrine Of vegetarianism and to-
tai abstinence from alcoholic liquors
He insists that by living on a diet
which he describes for himself any.
one may live to any age he desires.
When Doctor WI was last In Wash
ington he was as curious and active
as at any time, but signs of age had
appeared In his slightly bent figure
and especially In the gray hair which
formed good share of his queue. A
gray-haired Chinaman is not a com
mon sight In this country. This may
be because emigration is confined to
the young, or If gray hair does not
flourish in the Orient. 1t may be that
Doctor WI has made this concession
to the newer civilization. But old or
young Washington stands ready to
welcome the great questioner.

EVIDENTLY TYPOGRAPHICAL
ERROR

Elder Stafford, of Winnemucca,
breaks into the San Francisco Bulletin
of September 81 with an article which
he winds up by predicting a "rous-
ing' majority for Roosevelt and John
son mex Noaember. This is evidently
a typographical error, and no doubt
should have read "sousing,' majority.
The article in question follows:
81 thought perhaps it might be in
teresting to you and your readers to

CARRY THE NEWS TO WILSON

Judge Mack returned last night,
after a long trip away up to McDer-
mitt, right on the Oregon line in Hum
boldt county, and he says Wilson has
a clear field there and all the other
candidates are taking to the woods. A
Roosevelt organizer came to town Last
week and after making inquiries
went on his way without even waving
his bandana.
Judge Mack says that the people up
in northern Humboldt seem to have
forsaken all political lines in order to
support Wilson.-Reno Journal.
When Prof. Wilson learns the news
contained in the above item he will no
doubt breathe easier and consider that
he has a "cinch' on the presidency.
In the election of 1910 McDermitt cast
81 votes of which number Dickerson
Democratic candidate for governor)
received 16, Oddie (Rep.) 9 and the
Socialist candidate 2.
1t is likely that Judge Mack saw
none but the 16 Democrats.
