SEND THEM BACK r ranee is getting rignr xc America after all that has been said and done. Any naturalized American-Frenchman that goes back to France cn a visit is caught and sent to the army. France claims that no Frenchman can become an American citizen without her permission. This being: a most arrogant position. Then ' for any foreign country to complain ' of our immigration laws is silly. i France nor any of the other countries over there will give up a good citizen and they will grant permission to their most undesirable to come to this country and then set up a yell about oar government turning them down. Just what does Europe think this country is strikes us as a problem. They want to be the judge of who they let come to this country altogether. They wan* to pass on them both ways and we hav*. no savso whatsoever. If they have an anarchist they don't want they will let him come and then harp about our immigration laws when we turn him down. It is about time that we let . Europe alone and have nothing whatsoever to do with her. Yet we have j fawning Americans that kick on the . ..emigration laws and who are perfectly willing to submit to such a j condition. American people are not! so humble and knee-bending ihat they are willing to let France or any other country dictate who comes here in-; stead of ourselves doing the dictut- | ing. We have enough sorry folks) of our own without faking the scum j of Europe along with them. Let every country boss whc visits them j or who becomes ft citizen thereof. It is about time that France was spanked a little and learned some sense. America has been too good to her. America alone has the right to say who will become her citizens. France has the same right about anyone going there.?Bainbridge Post-Search Light. The branding of the cheeks of a Korean boy by Dr. C. A. Haysmeir, Seventh Day Adventist medical missionary from Minnesota, staitioned at Pingyang, was, in addition to being an act of barbaric cruelty, a most unfortunate thing for the cause of foreign missions in the Far East. The supreme court of Korea has upheld the sentence of imprisonment for three months imposed upon the American by the lower court, which would seem to be rather mild punishment for the missionary's crime, but even more severe penalty would not suffice to repair the damage which the cause of missions has suffered. Whenever the story is told, missionaries will feel the effects of it, and so long as he lives the branded Korean will be a walking testimonial to the cruelty of one who claimed to be a representative of the meek and lowly Kazorene. ? t:?

DRINK AND LIVE?OR DIE? CHINESE PUNISHMENT. A flaming, bursting volcano on an uninhabited island In the Caspian Sep terrified the inhabitants ?: Baku. It shock the land all about, changed the night's dark < clouds into flaming cclor. Gradually the superstitious in habitants will get over the shock i and forget it. And by this time, probably, agent? of Mr. Rockefeller's Standard Oil have been instructed to stake out claims on what is left of that inland. The Standard Oil men read in the paper, "Eruptions from the volcano consisted of great columns of oil-soaked earth, accomparded by sheets of dame 300 feet liigh," The passing of Senator Lafayette Young, of the Des Moines CAPITAL, following closely upon the death of Colonel Nelson of the Kan>a? City Star, Frank A. Munsey of the New York Sun, and Victor Lawson, of the Chicago Daily News, is a loss to sincere and useful new .-paper w ork in the United States. Lafayette Young devoted his life ar.d all his energy to the welfare f his State and his nation, and both will miss a courageous and able man. The recent death of Houdini 1 iv.le? Conan Doyle because Houuini t.? ver drank, never smoked, s ie doctors would say that helps explain his death. Able men told h H. Harriman Ive would have lived a longer life had he drunk light beer, and relaxed. They even say that teetotalism is safe only for those that do very little thinking, and do that little gently. Tnat's a terrible insult to prohibition ar.d ice water, but that is what able scientists say. They say ( also, by the way, that a sure path to early death is bootleg whiskey. One-sixth of an inch yearly seems small. But that would be a foot and a half every century, and with such a sinking Pike's , ?*eaK would do below the Atlantic Ocean in much less time than It took the horse to change to a onetoed animal. Dr. Milllken bays science and feeble human imagination can form no conception of the universe. That easy to believe, j -? When Professor Michelson, of Chicago University, a great scientist, was asked, "Do you think I might by careful 6tudy get some idea of modern mathematics?" he j replied with characteristic mod- I esty, "You might; but I can't un- | derstand it." All we know is that it is a very big universe, and that we are small microbes on a little grain of sand. Nevertheless, we have a right to ba proud, if only because we can actually think about it and try to understand it. The Chinese have found it ! necessary in some places to revive | ancient methods of punishment. One, most unpleasant, increase.* the criminal's ears to a gigantic size. Six arrows are pushed through each j ear, and left there for days. When they fall out* his ears are enormous. That helps the public to | identify criminals. They had another unpleasant j punishment in the days of the Empress. The criminal wu 1 out and sawed in two lengthwise That has not yet been revived. The wise deplore imoldng by women, at least until they finish having children. Hitherto men I have done the foolish things, wo- i men have been wise, and children have had at least half a chance. But, after all, it is the individual woman's business to deridfl about smoking. WOLF CREEK There has been so much rain this fall that but little small grain has been sown and much of the^corn crop is still in the field.
