Archbishop Ireland in responding said
that t. him the Stars and Stripes had 10

the brotherhood of man. The idea of q
distinction being made in civil and po!t-
zeal matters because of race or language
or color. he declared, is un-American. A

All sorts of national sins have been
heralded as that of America, and the
New York Mail and Express adds
another to the list by declaring that it
is our failure to protect human life. 1t
points out that in our six largest cities,
New York, Chicago, Philadelphia, ST.
Louis, Boston and Baltimore, there
were in 1901. the last year reported
$3.50 deaths from accident. This was
almost as many as all our railroads
killed, S455. Nearly one death in every
twenty, or ASS per cent. of the total
number. dying in these cities in 1901
(Which was 152.316), was due to acct
dent. This proportion is one-half larger
than in England, where deaths from
accident are about three in hundred.
Ii Is nearly thrice the proportion of
deaths by accident in Germany. 1t is
twice that elsewhere. Deaths by acct
dent. of course. increase with machin-
cry. They multiply with the speed of
traffic. the rapid.ty of production and
the rush of life. But this is no excuse
for the number and proportion in this
country.

It seems that the new immigration
really intended. 1t provides that for
the purposes of this act the words
United States as used in the title as
well as in the various sections of this
act shall be construed to mean the
United States and any waters, terri
tory or other place now subject to the
Jurisdiction thereof" This seems to
extend the law over Porto Rico,
Hawaiian Islands, Philippine Islands,
Alaska, Guam and Tutuila. These are
all under the jurisdiction of the United
States, and while this point was not
mentioned in the discussion of the
subject to either branch of Congress
the wording of the law apparently
leaves no room for doubt. There is
no good reason why the law should
not apply to all territory under our
flag, but it will be difficult to carry
out it's provisions in some places where
therc are not special lIliIiilsoIdllOll Jill
Gals and conveniences. 1t is also
pointed out that immigrat ton by way of
Canada is likely to increase under the
new law since the 50 head tax does not
apply to people coming from Canada.
The Canada border is an easy means
of escaping the immigration laws and
this country might well refuse to admit
people from foreign countries who
come by way of Canada.
