The cripple said nothing nor moved

the wolf faded TO give place to the soft,

change.
A knock announced the sandwiches

with both hands in sudden ecstasy
Of hunger. When he had finished. he
looked again at Thorpe, and this time
there were tears in his eyes.
A little later Thorpe interviewed the
proprietor of the hotel.

He dreamed that the cripple had grown

Undoubtedly anybody in good mental and moral health would rather be Elihu Root or Theodore Roosevelt than Russell Sage or John D. Rockefeller.
 Perhaps it is inaccurate to state that MT. Root and MT. Dill have made sacrifices" Perhaps that phrase would apply better to continued striving for wealth after enough had been gathered to permit them to follow the higher promptings of their temperaments and talents. However that may be, the country rejoices in MT. Roots de- cisiOn. and it takes a friendly interest in the course chosen by MT Dill.

Honey Not Everything

A million dollars is declared to be a modest estimate of what it will cost Elihu Root to enter the presidents cabinet as secretary of state.
 This means that MT. Root, because of his extraordinary ability. is a high priced lawyer, and that by sticking to his profession he could accumulate a million dollars in few years; where as his annual salary as secretary of state will be only $s,0O0, and will be no more than sufficient to pay his liv ing expenses in Washington.
 James B. Dill. the celebrated cor poration lawyer, also has made a sac rifce. He gives up a practice said to be worth e3OO,OOO a year, and ac- cepts the judgeship of New Jerseys court of errors and appeals at an an nuaI salary of s3,OOO.
 NIT. Root, of course, accepts exalted honors and rich opportunities for dis tinctfon in the affairs of his country and of the world. It is possible. also, that a judicial career in New Jersey has temptations for a man ambitious 10 exercise his talents on the bench. Here are two men, at any rate. who have turned away from the pursuit of wealth to more congenial activities, or perhaps have obeyed what they re- gard as calls to duty. They have ac- cumulated a fair share of this worlds goods-enough, presumably, to place them in what are called independent

Immigration An Issue

President Roosevelt is evincinS con siderable interest in the immigration question, and 1t is believed in some quarters that he will make this the text for a part of his next regular message to congress. He has eX- pressed the hope that an early report may be submitted to the department of commerce and labor by Special Agent Marcus Braun, who is now in Hungary Investigating the charge that paupers, insane persons and criminals are being sent to this country with the connivance of the Hungarian gov ernment
 Special Agent Braun has already discovered evidence that a regular system exists in Hungary wherein commissions are paid by the steamship companies for emigrants. and he adds that 'the system went to such lengths that even overcrowded prisons were sometimes opened and the Overplus of inmates aided to come to America" In these operations the Hungarian government not only sanctioned the breaking of our laws. but actually as sisted in allowing the prisoners their freedom.
 For many years there have been periodic charges of assisted immigra- ton to America. The standard of character of people brought here has decreased steadily, and in some in stances a whole shipload of the low est, vilest and most ignorant and wholly undesirable foreigners have been dumped upon our shores only to add their heavy quota to the already large foreign representation in our almshouses. prisons and insane asy- lums It is said by a New York edi- tor that nearly if not quite half the cost of such institutions near the port of New York is spent upon inmates who paid their passage to some steam ship company in order to reach our harbors of refuge.
 The evils of undesirable immigration can scarcely be exaggerated. The wei come America has extended foreigners to settle among us has been abused and taken advantage of by several for eigu governments to throw upon us the scum of their undesirable popula ton. America is now receiving these immigrants at the rate of 100000 year. and out of this enormous total there are fully 5OO,O0O persons who are of no real benefit to us and who are a constant tax upon our ability to assimilate.
 Just what view of the situation President Roosevelt will take is. of course, problematicaL That he sees and keenly realizes the danger of illi- cit immigration is certain. There is a rumor in Washington that he will recommend tax of $25 a head on all immigrants. This would be certainly q long step in the right direction. American citizenship is worth s25 to anyone and the immigrants who be- come public charges might, with moral propriety, be supported by a tax upon general immigra tion. In this way none would suffer and none would profit by discrimination. The tax would ex- clude only those who are undesirable at best and others would find little difficulty in paying so small a sum for the advantages sought on American

Seizure Of SakhalIn

The occupation of the island of Sak- halin by the Japanese is of no stra- tegic significance. The Russians have made no special effort to defend the place, and it has been recognized that there was nothing to prevent the Jap anese, with their almost unchallenged control of the sea, from taking pos session whenever they saw fit. The occupation is a pro forma" diplomatic move. It has long been understood that the cession, or rather the retro cession. of Sakhalin, by Russia to Ja- pan. would be a "sine qua non" of peace. In taking possession of the island the Japanese are merely fore stalling the objection to its retrOces- sion that Russia would be bound to raise and press if Sakhalin, at the close of hostilities. were Russian ter ritOry unconquered by the Japanese
 By taking the island now Japan has cleared out of the way an obstacle to the success of the peace negotiations.
