That the immigration laws need imme
diate and radical alteration is evidenced
Ivy the frequency with which the
! accounts come of not merely pau

aimed in New York. Such cases as these
are Of frequent occurrence and the provis-

arrest every case. The authorities OF the

"A SOCIETY.

Among the growing orders in the country
that OF the Patriotic Order Sons of Amer
lea is notable. Especially is its growth
remarkable in this city and vicinity
Hardly a melting OF the lodge in this city
has taken place at which the limitations
have net been surprising by their number.
tdherents flock to it by the dozen and il
its present rate of progression continues it
will soon in 'lude all the American-born
residents. The order was organized as
long ago as 1917 in the city OF Philadel.
phi u, ana camps were instituted in some OF
the Att 'nlic and Middle States. Its mem
bers ithout almost any exception Joined
the ranks OF the Union army, and during
the continuance OF the war it's operations
we're suspended owing to the absence from
their homes OF its members. In 1866 the
order was reorganized and has since then
spread all over the Union. Its increase
within recent years has been very great, and
it Is understood that the menace to the
K public that the sudden development of
o! his kidney, threatened was the cause Of
very large additions to the order. Its plat
form Is entirely free from any faint Of
hnow-Nothingism, as it cordially well
comes all of those foreigners who come to
this country with the honest de-
sire OF becoming loyal Ameri-
can citizens, sincerely disavow any
ana all allegiance to foreign p,tentates and
governments and who honor and revere
our national flag" 1t expressly disavows
partisan.poiItical claims, obligations or in
tentlnus, and it possesses many ex, client
features among its principles.

The struggle Of De Lesseps to maintain
his Panama Canal scheme is 1t once ludi-
crous and pitiful. He is undoubtedly a
great engineer, and the Panama Canal is
possib,e-given unlimited money and men.
But shareholders in an enterprise look to
returns some day, and the extraordinary
cost OF the scheme seems constantly to iu-
crease with no apparent end in sight. A
lottery as a means to raise money is the
last resort OF a financier, and when that is
refused by the French Government to De
Lesseps he may be said to have complet "
lost the confidence OF his own cuuntry:uen.
There has come a limit To even their credn-
lity in the greatest engineering bubble Of The
century.
