EXCLUSION LAWS FAILS.

Washington. Feb. THAT the
Chinese exclusion law fails to accom-
plish it's avowed purposes has been
pointed out in the export of the com
missioner of the bureau of immigra-
ton for the fiscal year 1911, which
has just been made public. The re
port states that the methods adopted
to violate the law were so extensive
and complicated as to beggar descrip-
ton. 1t is stated that one of the
principal difficulties consists Of pro
perly guarding the Canadian and
Mexican boundaries. It is claimed that
unless the exclusion law is strength
ened, the next decade will witness the
entering to the United States, on
citizenship claims allowed, of more
than fifty thousand Chinese.

COPE LIBEL SUIT.
Home Missionary Case Set for Hearing
in District Court september 4.

The first case for hearing in the second
division of the district court for the Sep
TENDER term, and the only case for the
term set so far, is that of Mrs. Edwin
Locke and others against Mrs. Carrie E.
Cope and others. The case involves part
of the estate of Mrs. Fannie Murray of
AtchiSon, which was left to the Womens
Home Missionary society. The hearing
is set for Wednesday, September 4.
Mrs. Locke and other plaintiffs as new
~ elected officers of the society demanded
that part of the beQuest, paid to Mrs.
Cope as former treasurer, be turned over.
On the ground that the newly elected Off
GERS were not officers of an incorporated
society, and that Mrs. cope was the
treasurer of a society incorporated for the
purpose of taking over the money, the
payment was refused.
Growing out of the case two big libel
suits have been filed in the Kansas courts,
both of which are now pending in the
federal court in Kansas. Both were
brought by Mrs. Cope. One, filed in To-
peka, names Bishop David H. Moore of
the Methodist church as defendant. The
other, filed in Wichita, names Mrs. Geo.
o. Robinson of Detroit, Mich. as defend
ant. Each suit asks for damages for
alleged libel in the sum of $50, 600.

have the audacity, therefore, to insist
that the nomination was stolen from
him? He went into the convention
with too few delegates, he was beaten.
He had no more reason for conteSting
the result, for setting up his cry of
fraud, and for putting himself into the
field as candidate, than Mr.. Arthur
had in 1884, Mr.. Hill after Mr.. CleVe-
lands nomination in 1892, or than Mr..
Clark or Mr.. Underwood had after the
Baltimore convention. Yet he came
away from Chicago crying fraud to the
four quarters of the heavens He con-
tributed to the Outlook a long article
with the title Thou Shalt Not Steal
in which he brought the charge of de-
liberate fraud and theft against the
party managers in control of the Chi
cago convention.
1.-THE point of interest now is what
the honest men among his followers
are going to say. The responsible con-
ductors of the Outlook, for instance.
What opinion will they express of Mr..
Hflles's report? They have permitted
their contributing editor to Vilify and
abuse the better part of this commu-
nifty, the better part of other COM
munities. They have furnished to Mr.
Roosevelt the medium through which
he makes his charges of theft ana
fraud. The charges are disproved
VIII the conductors of the Outlook
pay any attention to the matter, or
will they continue to give their col
luSiVe support TO his false accusations?
Association with Mr.. Roosevelt
ought not to blunt the moral sensibfll-
ties of honest men. Yet it is impossi-
BILE to see how honest men can con-
tinue to give faith and credit to his
completely exposed fabrications about
the theft at Chicago. We are aW are
that if the theft issue is taken from
him, nothing remains of his campaign
but himself. The only possible pre-
text for his candidacy is the charge
that the nomination was stolen from
him. That is not true. The third term
now represents nothing on
earth but the personal ambition of
Roosevelt"

States to say the stock of corporation
owning land around Magdalena bay
should not be held by citizens of an

which it might be compelled to recede

thereupon Senator Root moved the SEN
