 Ko Low. prosperous Chinese of New York, walked from the Chinese Delmonicos with white girl on either arm. Two other Chinese shot one girl in the foot, shot Ko Low dead with various bullets. then melted into the Asiatic atmosphere of the Chinese quarter.
 Ko Lows tong" says: ''The brothers of Ko Low are anguished by the death, but can't understand it." It Is just private murder. not a tong war. they say. White men, with their opinions of tile two white girls. think it may have been provi- dential.
 ' So much for New York. In San Francisco members of all the tongs met. and important leaders signed a treaty of peace. agreeing not to shoot anybody until further notice.
 Al that moment detectives broke in. seized the treaty, saying, wen keep this secret. But if you do start bHOOtiH6f we II dTEtSL 6VtTYDOQY whose name Is signed here.''
 They are signing such documents in Europe. If only some Celestial power could take copies of the treaties and promise to lock up any statesmen starting a fight!
 The plan of Monsieur Poincare Is to establish a German plebiscite. Germany would live under allied supervision, the allies would take 20 per cent of mining and industrial concessions. They would run Ger many "as a going concern" some thing like receiver appointed by the court, taking over a railroad. The German receivership. including CO., 0ooooo Germans. would be a consid- erable undertaking.
 Two strikers, accused of throwing brick at police dog, are ar rested charged with unlawfuIly in- terfering with a policeman in dis charge of his duty. The dog on duty is considered policeman. The men might ask why he didn't wear a uni form. They were simply throwing brick at dog chasing a friend of theirs.
 It Is as interesting as though some Asiatic was locked up for interfer- ing with the RaJah's executioner ele- phant, trained to step on and squash skulls of criminals
 W. 2. Foster, once leader of steel strikers, is thrown out of Colorado and warned not to come back. Gen. eral Hamrock, in putting out the radical labor leader, said, "the dan gerous radical" was put out for the best interests of the state and no law was consulted.
 Colorado has the right to accept or reject. But it Is not wiss for ar,I official to air the fact that .no law Is consulted" Better leave that to dangerous radicals"
 Lenin was put out of Russia by the czar. or rather driven out. in exactly the same way and snent years in Switzerland and elsewhere. But he came back. If you don't want dangerous radicals to defy the law don't set the example and then proudly advertise it.
 Last year the United States spent Seoo,000.000 on roads. It should | spend five times as much next year and would make money on the in- vestment.
 MT Mcdonald. chief of the bureau | of public roads. says the words | permanent roads are a falacy. | He's mistaken. Ceasar built roads | that lasted centuries-that's per- manent enough.
 Judge Gary of the steel corpora ton, who manufactures cement as | we'll as iron, could produce a rein | forced road laid in sections, that would last indefinitely.
 The government should ask him l to do it. Some day cheap electric l heat will melt stone, producing a | sort of artificial lava, to be poured out like molasses And there you will have road fairly permanent. |
 In French tests of flying ma chimes without engines an Ameri- can leads, remaining in the sir on i his gliding machine 55 seconds at one time. That is better than the flying fish or flying squirrel can | do. and it's good for beginning. American inventors know how to do l things, but their government does 1 very little to encourage new ideas. 1 The Wright brothers had to take | their flying machine. and Lewis his | wonderful gun, to Europe in order | to attract attention.
 A wreck on the Missouri Pacific | Killed many. "Inevitable," say rail- | road representatives They wonder | what the engineer was thinking | about when he passed the danger signal He may have been worrying about an engine. not properly cared for because of the strike and dan- gerous to handle.
 If the shopmens strike lasts. the I engineers may be compelled to 90 | out. to protect their own lives and | the public's.
