Chief of Tolice Collins, of Chicago, ap
pa rent ly ha his hammer out. but we
are glad to say in the interest of a
roost excellent cause. Chief Collins has
our beat wishes in his knocking cruade
and we hope he will continue to knock
until every gambling house in Chicago
is closed.
Margaret Anglin, according to tele
graphic advices, was thrown from her
carriage while driving home following a
chopping tour and sustained brok
en collar bone. We hope the corres
pondent has not enlarged upon the shat
tering of a collar button. This is an
advertising epoch. Recalling the frenzied
publicity accorded to Llanche Bates
through the artifices of an eminently sue
oefful preta agent, previous to her
Jast visit to Tort land, we are inclined
to accept the report of Miss Austin's
unfortunate aHdent with a goodly grain
of salt. !

to disturb these foni dreams of a mill

Advices received from Shanghai can
wiling order foWAinese shipments froiuJ
San Francisco present a serious pliaite
of the Chinr-e boycott, which was gen
erally accepted as a groundless threat.
Reassuring comment lias been received
from time to time saying that the boy
cott found iU inception among the hot
headed student element and that the
government and commercial guilds were
not behind the movement. With busi
ness in Shanghai practically suspended,
the closing of a branch of a prominent
San Francisco export and import firm
threatened and the demoralization of
another project we can not look upon
the boycott question with indifference.
That the coolie element of China must
not lie admitted to this country is a
recognized fact, at least on the Pacific
coast, and while we intelligently appre
ciate this we should not advocate the
enforcement of the exclusion laws to
fiinh extent that all Chinese shall be de
nied admittance to the country. There
are in China some remarkably bright men
M'bile they may prefer to adhere to the
old doctrines of Confucious they are
nevertheless bright, wealthy and offer
to the United States exceptional trade
opportunities which we have not been
fnw to take advantage of in the past.
The value of our trade with China can
not 1 over estimated. It not only sup
ports extensive branch houses in the!
J'ar Kast, but steamer lines that ply
the Pacific, Cun we. with
f fairness admit the Jsipanese to this
"Men who refuse to become rich show
sound judgment," says Bey Xewton
Dwight Hillis. Experience has demon
strated that the newspaper man of the
small communities adhers strictly to
this rule.
Thomas VT. Lawson says that "Rock

all the sulphur he wants in the next

1 knew no one for tour weeks when 1
was sick with typhoid an4 kidwy
troubles," writes Mrs. Annie Hunter, of
Pittsburg, Pa. "And when I got better,
although I had one of the best doctors
I could get, I was bent double, and had
to rest my hands on my knees when I
walked. From this terrible affliction 1
was rescued by Electric Bitters, which
restored my health and strength and
now I can walk as straight a ever.
They are simply wonderful." Guaranteed

The Chicago tribune has discovered

Let Me Tell
You Something
Traveler to the East, I have a word for you :
There are through Pullman sleepers, both
Standard and Tourist, going East from the
Coast at frequent intervals. Over two routes
they travel via Rock Island System for a good
share of the distance.
You can go by way of Ogden, Salt Lake and
Colorado, or you can go by way of San Francisco,
Los Angeles and El Paso, and the Rock Island
will land you in Kansas City, St. Louis or Chi.
cago. Direct connection In Union Stations at
all three cities for all important points in the
East and South.
Or the traveler via Northern route can take
the Rock Island from Minneapolis and St. Paul
to Chicago.
Rock Island service is the kind that gratifies
best meals on wheels.
