A Floral Mystery.

The Chinese, japanese and Siamese

One of their wonderful achievements is
known as the "changeable rose" This
bloom is white in the shade, and red in
the sunlight. After night or in a dark
room this curiosity of the rose family is
pure, waxy-whitc blossom. When
transferred to the open air, the trans
formation Immediately steps in, the time
white to red depending on the degree Of
sunlight and warmth. First the petals
take on a kind of washed or faded blue
color, and rapidly change TO faint blush
of pink. The pink gradually deepens in
hue until you find that your lily-white
rose of an hour before is as red as the
reddest peony that ever bloomed.

MUST BE DEPORTED

The Supreme Court of the United
States has affirmed the Judgment of
the Federal Circuit Court for the
New York circuit in the matter of
John Turner, anarchist. This is a
case which has attracted much at
tention i'll this country. Turner,
an avowed anarchist, was refused a
landing at Ellis Island, at New
York, by the immigration officials
the case was heard in the lower
Federal Court, which affirmed the
righttulness of the exclusion: and
now the highest court in the land
has spoken the final word, and
Turner must be sent back across
the sea.
The justice and legality OF this
finding cannot be denied. The law
expressly excludes anarchists, and
directs that they be not received in
this country. The immigration
officials performed their clear duty
when they refused to admit him.
They were much criticised for this.
but they are 1ow wholly vindicated.
And the law is vindicated at the
same time. For if Turner could
not have been excluded under it.
then the law was void, and Con

not think of killing anybody. And
yet, while he was out on bail pend
ing his appeal, he did some lectur-
ing, and while preaching the
doctrine of revolt and vengeance,
he was asked whether he advocated
assassination. The most he could
say was that every one must decide
that question for himself he had no
prejudice either way. That is, he
has no condemnation of assassina-
ton and if he had not been out on
bail, he might have given even
more positive counsel in favor of
assassination.
The fact that Turner is an edit
Gated man, a good talker, a forcible
writer, is nc reason why he should
be made an exception to rule which
excludes anarchists, as long as he
is clearly and admittedly an an
archist himself. On the contrary,
his gifts and attachments make him
more dangerous than an illiterate
anarchist with gun or knife in
hand. Turner would do more
damage in a month in the way of
spreading dangerous doctrine and
squirting besotted and ignorant
desperadoes to Stay the officials of
the country, than such an ignorant
man could do all his life.
1t IS surprising that so many of
the leading newspapers of the
country have shown sympathy with
Turner and have pleaded that he
be made an exception to anarchist
exclusion because of his ability and
attalnments. The view is altogether
wrong for the very reason of his
eminence in these lie should be
doubly excluded l.. Tribune.
