The debased conditions Of Italian So
cial life are made very plain through
the statement of the assistant commits
sioner of immigration regarding the
practice which prevails through the
italian banking houses of collecting and
transmitting to Italy certain proportions
of the wages earned by Italian immi-
grants. 1t is almost uncomfortable to an
American that such a state of things
should prevail. It shows clearly that
those who are made the victims Of the
system are morally united for Ameri-
can citizenship. The banking houses or
other agencies through which the scheme
is put in operation are engaged in a de-
liberate violation of the spirit, If not
the letter, of our immigration laws.
They should be prosecuted, unless steps
can be taken at once otherwise to bring
the system to an end.
For all such evils there is no proven
tive so effectual as that Of exposure.
They cannot stand the light OF
publicity. Neither their victims
nor their benefciaries will con-
tinue able to carry out the de-
tails of any such arrangements once it
is known among them that public au-
thority is informed. Great as is the
assimiIative power Of American society,
the danger of the Introduction into
American society of persons of the char
acter of those who are thus bound to
pay tribute must necessarily be attended
by the gravest perils. Nothing that our
immigration officials may do can be re-
garded as too severe which will be eff,
| fective in putting an end to such in
human and monstrous conditions as
those which were made known at yester-
days session of the Industrial commits
sion.

Street Railway Company Is Pushing
the Work of Grading.
Steps were taken, yesterday, by Still
water loggers which will in all probable
ity test the right Of John A. Little, Of
Star Prairie, Wis, to scale logs on the
ST. Croix Mr. Little Is inspector Of logs
and lumber for the Fourth Wisconsin
district, and claims the right to scale all
logs cut in Wisconsin. Accordingly he
opened an Office at Hudson, Wis, and en-
gagged a force of scalers and tallymen,
who have been at work on logs near
Hudson this week. Yesterday William
Sauntry, who owns an interest in several
concerns, which operate extensively on
the St. Croix and it's tributaries, and the
St. Croix Lumber company, of South
Saltwater, served notice on Mr.. Little
not to scale their logs. If he persists In
doing so, he will probably be obliged to
carry the matter into the courts before
his rights can be determined.
The funeral of Ham Wing Sing was
held at the prison yesterday afternoon
and the remains were taken to st. Paul
for interment. The services at the pris-
on were conducted by Chaplain Ken

Manila War Correspondent Writes
of Otis Censorship.
LONDON. July pa private letter
received here today from a war CORE
spondent at Manila, and dated June II
says:
There seems to be no end of the war
In sight. The censorship is constantly
becoming more troublesome. Gen. Otis
recently established a rule that any mat
ter relating to the nvay must be taken
10 the commander of the fleet for his
approval and afterwards submitted tn the
military censor, thus adding to our diff
culties- For some reason which the CEN
sor would not explain, Gen. Otis refused
to allow us TO send the death of the
Monadnocks captain (NfchoIs) for two
days after its occurrence. The general
also refused to let us send news of the
disappearance of Capt. Rockefeller (AnrII
2o) on the ground that It would worry
his family, or the killing of Capt. TilIev
or the signal corps, until next day The
correspondents are already tired of this
arrangement, which simply means that
they must go out and run large chances
OF getting shot several times a week. with
no chance Of making regulations, because
their stories must always reflect Otis
views.
1t is impossible to write the truth
a"out the SITUATION Inc resources and
fighting qualities of the natives are quite
misunderstood by the American papers.
and we cannot write the facts without
being accused Of treason; nor can we tell
or the practically unanimous opposition
to and dislike Of the war among the
American troops. The volunteers. or at
least portion of them, were at one time
on the verge of mutiny, and unless Gen.
Otis had begun sending them homewards
there would have been sensational deveI
opments.
I'VE have been absolutely refused all
hospital figures"

is THE CITY GUILTYs

Is THE CITY
The business concerns in this city which
are compelled to use soft coal in the con-
duct of their respective industries are
being prosecuted by the city authorities
for thereby maintaining a nuisance. I'm
der the decision Of Judge lIine, of the
municipal court, the proprietor of any
business establishment using soft coal
for manufacturing or business purposes
is liable to fine or Imprisonment. This
decision is now awaiting review by the
supreme court
doubtless this statement of the legal
status of this question of the so-called
smoke nuisance would be regarded by
those who are intent on enforcing the
city ordinance as at least inaccurate, If
not absolutely wrong. 1t is neither wrong
nor inaccurate, as a reasonable state
ment. Until the city authorities are able
to establish that there is some recogniz-
Ell, Unquestioned and unquestionable
means III practical use for the complete
consumption of the smoke occasioned by
the use of soft coal in large quantities,
those who are being prosecuted for the
maintenance of a nuisance under exist
ing smoke ordinances are being in effect
prosecuted for using bituminous coal in
their business.
The city of st. Paul is the prosecutor In
all of those cases. The city attorney it
is, either personally or through his as
sistants, who has conducted the prosecu-
lions And the city police force 1t is
which has furnished the necessary evil
dence of the violation of the smoke or
dinances. If the private individuals and
corporations using soft coal in the con-
duct of their business are violating the
use no coal which smokes? Is there no
emission of dense smoke from any
smokestack or chimney in use by the city
at the present moment? How is this, Mr..
Markham? Are private citizens to be
prosecuted for doing that which the city
itself sets the example of doing?
This is no mere bubble. 'Who seeks
equity must do equity" is pretty good
maxim in its way. It's application in NOR
ais, if not in law, is very clear in these
cases. Before the city is justified in pros
| ecuting its own citizens it must show
that 1t has clean hands itself. There is
nothing unreasonable in this. There are
! necessarily many inequalities in the ap-
plication of the law to Individuals But
| there should never exist any such con-
dition as is created, where a, community
subjects the individual to fine and i'm
pr;sonment for that which it commits It
self with impunity.
The maintenance of these prosecutions
is, In the opinion Of the G. l e. a gross
! discrimination, viewed from the stand
point of true public policy. With all def
ence to Judge Hine, we believe
| they involve substantial injus-
tice, whether or not the city
can be charged with the commission of
the offense for which it seeks to fine it's
people; but, if it be fact that it is itself
doing that which 1t thus prohibits and
condemns as Illegal. there is In existence
through these prosecutions a gross public
and private wrong which should be-
! brought to a close without delay.

CANADA GOING TO WAR.

Premier Laurier has very unwillingly
been brought face to face with the grim
specter of war. He has looked in vain
for way to avoid resort to arms on the
part of Canada. And he has reached the
conclusion that there is a point beyond
which Canadian forbearance cannot go
in its treatment of Yankee fnsolence and
unreason. Hence he is compelled to bring
his people face to face with the awful
necessity which the protection of provin-
cial rights and privileges forces upon him
AS in the case Of all bargains, there are
always at least two parties necessary TO
making war. In the present situation
only one Of the parties has as yet been
discovered. Canada may go to war if 1t
wishes and the nation of which 1t is q
province has no objection. But the United
States will not take hand in any little
trouble of the kind which the Dominion
premier may foresee. If the Canadian
militia is ever placed in the field on q
war footing, it will be a useless expense
and may prove no more inspiring to the
budding spirit Of provincial patriotism
than when last these martial heroes re-
fused to hold prolonged intercourse with
few Fenian minute men on the fated
field of Ridgeway.
NO; II Canadian patriotism has reached
the fighting point and the mercury of
provincial spirit does not drop quite soon
so as to indicate a more reasonable TOM
perature, it will be necessary to advise
our beliserent neighbors that If thew
must fight they are called on by all the
rules of fair fight to get somebody of
their size to fight with.
Children and fools should not NAV
with edged tools" This trite saving Is
commended in all good humor to Premier
Laurier and his militant provincials. Fire
arms can be entrusted with no greater
measure of safety to national infants
than to natural infants. The Canadian
navy has been in dry dock since tbe
result was made known of the seal fish
cries arbitration. The process of mobiI-
izing the Canadian army is one which
should be performed before our cousins
break off the diplomatic relations with
this country which they have not vet
taken the precaution to establish. The
nations of the world have practically de-
cided to ground arms while awaiting the
outcome of things at The Hague. If our
provincial neighbors will be benefited by
the pacific example. at least until the
prevailing spell of warm weather has
passed, not even the popularity of Pre-
mier Laurier's government will suffer in
the least. Besides later day for the
declaration Of war may be even more OBJ
perfume since 1t is not unlikely to find
the rainy season at an end in the PhiIfn-
pines and Uncle Sam in more obligtne
spirit, consequent on his troubles in his
own colonial possessions.

WHAT IS TRUE PATRIOTISM {?


A Fight for Ones Home and COun-
try.
To the Editor of the Globe:
Dear Sir: Traitor and treason" are
very convenient words for imperialists to
fling at those who still cling to the foun-
dation principles of the government,
while they assume to themselves all the
patriotism in the nation. But this is with
the further assumption that 1t is i'm
possible for a person to be possessed Of
any patriotism unless he stands ready
to support every movement Of the adj
ministration. I would that all such
should read my parable Still it is not so
much of a parable as exact history. I
notice. however, that in these days the
principal idea attached to patriotism
is that 1t can only be manifest through
fighting Now this is the very last mean
ing attached to the word, and can only
be in defense of ones country, even as
true patriotism is love for ones coun-
try, and for the principles of its govern
ment.
Now it is possible to conceive of a stu
alton in which the truest patriotism, the
truest loyalty to the principles of the
nation. would be to refuse to fight Sup
pose that a nation had espoused the
principles Of justice, of natural right,
and self-evident truth: that these were
us OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES. II IS possible
that the administration might take a
course that was violative OF these prin-
ciples. In such a case true patriotism
loyalty to the principles of the nation
would require that the people should not
sanction the course Of the government.
nor support the administration in it. and
actually refuse to fight and tell others
to refuse, if fighting were going on. How
ever, If. the majority of the people should
support the administration in such a
course, true patriotism would almost GER
tainly be denounced as treason; never
theless 1t would still be the only true
patriotism in that country
Now such a situation has actually oc-
CURED in history. A people threw off
the yoke Of bondage. and set up a gov
eminent Independent of all others. and

They espoused the principles of Justice
and right. After time they forgot these

but forsook them. They refused to listen

ciples. They soon, as a result found
themselves involved in war The true
patriots spoke against engaging In the
