Ellis garden is the modern Castle
garden or the immigration station in
New York harbor. says the San Frau
cisco Leader. Owing to charges made
by Il New York newspaper, Il com
mittee was appointed to investigate
the abuses alleged to prevail at this
national reception room. The report OF
the committee was made public this
week. Like all such reports, this one
is composed chiefly of whitewash.
However. it is admitted that 13,OnC
immigrants sometimes land at this sta
ton in Il single day. while the build
ingS have accommodations for ONLY
5000. and that the hospital contains
only 123 beds. while there is often
need for twice that number. More
over, the report points out that Il
head-taN of two dollars is levied on
each alien arriving at the station:
therefore. the government can well af-
ford to provide suitable buildings, as
it received almost $1.5OO,0OO in this
way during the last fiscal year. 1t is
meanneSs to compel these
poor people to stand and deliver and
then treat them like wild beasts. The
committee also brought out the inter-
esting fact that in the last year the

average of $50 Il head. thus adding

Gov. Murphy. of New Jersey, has
signed bill which prohibits the use
of representations of the United States
flag as background for paid adver-
tisements, says the Michigan Catholic.
The many degrading uses to which the
Stars and Stripes are subjected to is
disgrace to the patriotism Of the
country. 1t has been made dish rag
in the ads. of enterprising people
whose patriotic ardor is measured by
dollars and cents. The flag of the Re.
public should have more glorious
destiny than being made the medium

Our anticipation that the promised
reforms in Turkish administration. in
eastern Europe and Asia minor, would
prove as baSeleSs and abortive as those
that had preceded them in the past,
has already been proved correct, saws
the lrish-American. The porte has re-
jected all the pending propositions for
the reorganization of the horde of bar
barous BashibaZOuks it chooses to dig
Nifty With the title of ''gendarmerie;
and also declares to ratify the peace
agreements previously entered into
With bulgaria.. Thus the "unspeak-
able Turk maintains his old-time
character for brutal ferocity and faith
lessness-presuming no doubt. that
Russia's hands will be kept engaged
for long while to come by the war in
Japan, and that, meanwhile, he can
rely on the supineness of Austria and
the covert backing of England. 1t is
becoming more evident, with each sue
ceedinS generation, that the Turk is
altogether out of place in contact with
modern civiliZation: and he should be
relegated to the barbarian wilds of
Africa, from which his marauding an
cestors originally came.

following passage: This plant is

called Saint Patrick Day, it being a
current tradition that by this three

forth to them the mystery of the Holy

assured TACT. However, the Strenu-
GUS campaign that Bob Dunn and his
friends are makiung counts and will
continue to count to the close of the
struggle, which is destined to end in
his nomination. If the opposition to
him in his party expects to defeat him
for the nomination by belittling his
record or in besmirching his career
while in the position of state auditor,
it is fair to believe that such a course
will only rebound to the good of the
Princeton statesman and assist rather
than injure him in his efforts to head
the Republican state ticket
Ex-Secretary of State Root, in an
address to his Republican friends the
other day in New York, urged his hear
ers to turn their attention from the
surface question of party organization
to the great issues of the conflict that
lie before them and "get away from
the chicken feed of political gossip"
The advice was well meant, but it
will hardly be followed. To discuss
the great issues in the coming con-
fiict is something entirely foreign to
the wishes of many of the Republican
leaders. 1t is looked upon as rather Il
dangerous proposition and carries with
it the thought that it may be better to
stick to "the chicken feed Of political
gossip" and slide through quietly to
success than to discuss the great is-
sues of the day and as result there
from 60 down to an inglorious defeat.
