The youngs tenor's fame as singer
probably would never have started to
spread had it not been for slight
illness contracted on Ellis Island
causing him to be placed in the hos

there became enchanted with his sing
ing, and before he was deported he
was giving concerts for other inmates
of the hospital as we'll as for the in
habitants of the island generally. As
a result O'Brien's name today is on the
lips of all Ellis Island. The hospital
attendants were calling his name with
tender eulogy and expressing extreme
sorrow that he had to go back.
. O'Brien is only one of hundreds of
such cases that are sent back to their

A "Silly Speech. "

1t would be interesting to know, as
a curiosity, the most mistaken edi-
torial ever written. Few can excel in
that sense the specimen from the Har-

Research Society of Milwaukee:)

the benefit of his party than for the
glory of the nation and the honor of
the dead. We pass over the silly re-
marks of the President; for the credit
of the nation we are willing that the

them and that they shall be no more
repeated or thought Of"
The SILLY remarks" were President

The Chinese Defended.

The average westerner is inclined to
believe that there are 400,000,000 Chi
nese in China who spend their time
smoking opium drowning babies, eat
ing chop suey and engaging in other
vicious acts, but never taking bath:
They all look alike because they have
all eaten the same food for millenni-
ums. Progress they know not and
they are strangers to ambition. After
having lived in China for seven years,
Prof. Middleton Smith of Hongkong
university, writing in the Central Chi
no Post, attacks these preconceived
opinions with marked vigor If the
Chinese of the North seldom battle it
is due to the fact that they use clothes
instead of fuel to keep their bodies
warm. In the South the daily bath is
the custom.
Prof. Smith enters upon general
defense of the Chinese character. In
business transactions their word is
their bond, though making money is
their leading passion. Their standard
of morality may be low, but there is
nothing clownish or rude in their
manners. Though the precepts Of
Buddha do not permit the taking Of
life, not, even that of an aAimal, their
punishment for crime ara strict. The
