The election of DR.. Sun Yat Sen to the
presidency of the new republic marks
the elimination of a dream of 20 years.
For at least Is years he has been actively
engaged in fostering the present revolt,
making his headquarters in foreign coun-
tries and working in China through trust
ed lieutenants.
Ten years ago the throne began to
be alarmed over Doctor SENS activities
and placed a huge price on his head.
Many emissaries We're sent to America,
where Doctor Sen was then making his
headquarters, with orders to kill him.
Sometimes he would enter the China
town of San Francisco or New York, mas
querading as a salesman for a Japanese
silk firm. Again he would pose as coolie
laundryman or a aborer.
At first Doctor Sen was looked upon
as a mailman. Even the Chinese who
had lived in the occident for years and
government could not understand him.
China was one of the Oldest countries in
the world. 1t was only semi civilized
Its people had always bowed to q mon
arch. They knew nothing but despotism.
Many times the little doctor was de-
nounced as a fool. But he only shook his
head and dreamed of the awakening of
his countrymen. Years of eXhortation in
American by Doctor Sen and able work
upon the part Of his lieuter ants in China
revealed that the people were advancing.
Contributions began to pour into the rev.
olutionary treasury. Drill sergeantS from
American and European armies were
smuggled into the empire. A large army
was recruited before the dynasty realized
that the rebels were about to strike.

ASSUMES CONTROL
OF 100000 PHONES
BRITISH GOVERNMENT TAKES
FORMAL POSSESSION AND
WILL OPERATE BUSINESS.
EMPLOYEES TO Be PROTECTED
viii Enjoy Rights of All Other Post
office Department Laborers to
Pensions, Sick Benefits and
Annual Vacations.

London, England-At the stroke OF
midnight ushering in 1912 the British
government took formal possession Of
the 100000 telephones owned by the
National Telephone Co. and thereby
assumed actual operation of all pub.
lie telephones in the United Kingdom.
The 10000 employees of the National
Telephone Co. will hereafter be gov
ernment employees, protected by civil
service against the loss Of positions
and enjoying tn. rights of all other
postofflce department employees to pen
sions, sick benefits and annual vaca-
tions.
Government in Control.
The inadequate telephone system
previously owned and operated by the
government will be amalgamated
with the National system and run in
connection with the telegraph system
which the government already owns.
The government henceforth has an alb
solute monopoly of all public means
of communication by mail, telt; hone
and telegraph. This revolutionary
change, which in America would be
declared Socialistic, has been effected
practically without criticism by an ul-
ira conservative press.
Many New Improvements.
The government, which has had a
commission of experts studying the
telephone service of other countries,
especially in the United States, prom
ises to introduce many new improve
ments and give better service at a
lower cost. Already the government
telephones are being installed in pri-
vate houses in London giving sub
scribers the benefit of single party
wire for only S25 year. Subscrib-
ers at this rate, unlike New York,
Chicago and perhaps other subscrib-
ers, are entitled to call any other
subscriber in an area embracing a
population of over 100000.

GOV. DIX SCORES
HEALTH OFFICER
EXECUTIVE OF NEW YORK STATE
CALLS FOR THE RESlGNA-
TloN OF DOCTOR DoTY.
WRITES SCATHING LETTER
Says Evidence Shows That Some of
the Practices in immigration sta.
tlon Are So Shocking It Can
not be Made Public.

Albany, N. Y.-Governor Dix has
asked for the resignation of DR..
Alvah II. Doty, as health officer of
the port of New York, position he
has held since 1895. Doctor Doty's
term expired last January. His re-
moval was recommended recently by
Charles n. Bulger, the commissioner
appointed by the governor to investi-
gate the management and affairs of
the office. In his letter Governor Dix
says in part:
Charges Immoral Practices.
Immoral and lewd practices were
indulged in by the orderies and other
servants with immigrant women and
girls while in quarantine, and much
of this evidence is so shocking that it
cannot be given to the public. The
evidence also shows a condition of
squalor and uncleanliness in the
rooms where immigrants are kept that
shocks ones sense of decency and
makes one ashamed of his country.
In addition to these outrages customs
were permitted which seem positively
inhuman. Orderlies were permitted to
carry the bodies of deceased children
from the hospital to the morgue in
their arms. Whenever this occurred,
the orderlies being obliged to pass
through open grounds, mothers who
had not seen their sick children in the
hospital and did not know their con-
dition, followed the orderly hysteri-
cally weeping and wailing and trying
to pull off the sheet covering to ascer-
tain whether the body was that of
their own children.
Calls Acts Improper.
at appears also that children were
brought to the island, populated in
the main by people who had been ex-
posed to yellow fever, or plague, or
smallpox or cholera or other conta-
gious diseases, either for medical
treatment or temporary detention,
with mothers, exposing the lives of
these helpless and innocent people to
the dangers of contamination. 1t is
charged and admitted by you that you
received liquors, hams and other ar
ticles from incoming ships which you
were to inspect. The acceptance of
gifts under such circumstances, while
not necessarily dishonest, is so man
ifestly improper as to call for condem-
nation. There has been the grossest
tain the real quarantine which the law
and the welfare of the country de-
mands at the port of New York"

Efficiency of Hitchcock's. Management
of the Post Office Department
Attacked by the A. N. p. A.

Washington.-The A. N. P. A.,
through its postal committee of which
Don. G. Seitz of New York is chair
man, has joined in the fight against
the proposed increase in second-class
rates and in its last bulletin the COM
mittee attacks the management. OF the
post Office department. The bulletin
Is as follows:
THE extent to which the post
office department does not carry sec
ond-class matter is we'll revealed in
the following abstract of inquiry of
publishers conducted by house com,
mittee on expenditures In the post
office department (William A. Ash
brook, chairman) concerning the vol
ume, weight and handling of the out
put of publications entered as mail
matter of the second-class for the
fiscal year ending June so, 1911:
Inquiry was made of all publish
ers, approximating thirty thousand, of
which nearly seventeen thousand are
weekly publications.
More than ten thousand returns
were received, embracing sixty-six
plus per cent of all tonnage of pub
lications.
The publications reporting repre-
sent an annual output of more than
six and one-half billion copies, the
weight of which was one and three
quarter billion pounds.
These publications delivered by
mail in such period weighed 633, ,012,-
902 pounds.
They delivered by their own car
riers, newsboys, and news companies
S40,466,574 pounds, of which an unas-
certained percentage was carried to
destination by express and other rail
shipments outside the mail. They de-
livered by express. 202, ,729,510 pounds,
and by other rail shipments 121, ,491,-
74S pounds. The rate by express and
rail varies from 4 to l cent per
pound, but the bulk of these ship
ments went at a rate OF 4 to "A cent
per pound.
The post Office for the year end
ing June 80, 1911, handled 951, ,001,-
669, and excluding one-half million
ceiyed one cent per pound
"All this goes to add to the alb
surdity of the proposed Hitchcock leg
islation doubling the second-class rate
from one to two cents per pound, and
limiting the privilege to publications
that carry as much reading matter as
they do advertising.
THE proposition was stupid enough
when the postal deficit reached ST..
100000 two years ago. 1t becomes
preposterous in face of surplus.
What business has a transporta-
tion corporation, which is all the post
Office is, to prescribe how a business
shall be conducted?
Newspapers cannot afford to ex-
pand their columns beyond the call
of the days news, nor can they be
expected to control the requirements
of their advertisers who have right
to reach the public as copiously as
they care to.
1T cannot be assumed that such
legislation will ever get by congress.
But publishers are requested to fight
the theory that the right to send their
output by mail is privilege" The
figures show 1t is not
"The post office is a badly man
aged business That Is all We
should fight its dictation, its censor
ship and its inefficiency."
