SECRETARY HAY?

enced man at the head of the State
Department just now. when so many
important questions connected with
our foreign relations are pressing for
consideration, may however. compel
the. President to ask Mr.. TAFT TO sacri-
fee his personal desires. and take The
State portfolio, in which case there is
10 doubt that the present Secretary
of Wa; would respond to the call of
duty.
Among others. who have been sug.
sested in connection with the pre-.
miership is Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge. of Massachusetts, an intimate
friend of the president and member
of the Senate committee on foreign
relations. 1t is not believed, however,
that Nr. Lodge would care to give up
his seat in the Senate. nor that the
President would want to have him
do so. He can be OF greater service
probably TO the administrator where
he is.
Professor John Bassett Moore, in-
structor in international law at Column.
bia College and former Assistant Sec.
retary of State, Is another suggestion.
He is recognized as amcng the fore.
most authorities on international law
in the country and made a consider.
able reputation during his connection
with the State Department.

STATE BOARD OF PusLlc WORKS
PLANNING TO MAKE CUT OF

Some days ago Mr.. Geo. NJ. Jacobs,
clerk of the County Court of Marion
county. received the following ines
sage from Tax Commissioner Dillon:
Dear sir-If YOU have not already
done so, please do not extend your
State levies on land books. as the

will be notified soon as to whether
there will be any change Yours

1t now develops that the reason for
ordering the delay is that there will
be further reduction in the State tax
rate. Tie Legislature reduced the
rate from 30 cents on the 500 to "a
cents, but empowered the State board
of public works to make further re-
ductions If 1t saw fit. 1t has developed
that the revenues from the license
law and from the corporation law have
been greater than was estimated, and
the State board of public works has
practically decided that the owners of
real and personal property shall be
given the benefit of the excess. In
other words 1t will not be necessary
to raise as much money for State ex-
penses from property this year as was

Again our immigrants are under I'M
vestigation by a committee of proaainent
citizens, and again We are free to doubt
if anything will come Of the investiga-
tion. These formalities, rising from q
periodical discontent which Is shared BY
the offspring Of earlier immigrants, prem
ise for the moment, but every effort to
abridge the right of asylum is offset By
a determination in Congress to perpeta-
ate the liberties created by our fathers
and to maintain In this land home for
the oppressed Of all ages.
The attitude Of Congress is proper
enough so long az it is found that the
expressions from which the people Of
Europe Zee are not re-established on our
shores, for we will not submit to wrong
at the hands of barbarians to whom We
have extended a kindness. We accept
the, worker from Europe and are glad to
get him, but We want the worker with
brains.
We are empowered to keep out pau
pers, lunatics and people with COM
municable diseases; but the danger from
them is far less than the danger incurred
in allowing so many criminals to enter at
our ports. The remedy Hes in some mar
ner Of oversight over sea. II It is necss~
sary to engage secret service to ex-
anime and report on candidates for adj
mission to our citizenship the cost Of
such service will be less than that of
supporting the. wrongly admitted irnIni-
grant after he settles down 10 a wayward
life. THIS nation offers the best, hence
it deserves the best.

SATURDAY DECEMBER, 9. 1905.

The Record Colby Pagan coterie Of
alleged political reformers are playing
what they consider is shrewd game.
The sole purpose of the Mayors League

,Assemblyman Robbins. who has been
agreed upon by majority of the Re-
publicaus for Speaker. The combination
Of party breakers realize that their hopes
Of amounting to anything in State poll

Charcoal is remedy that the more

in at least some instances, are far
enough from the shore to justify marine,
rather than local Jurisdiction, and as
that authority has been exercised on pre-
vious occasions, It would be well II the
government would use little more expe-
dition and industry in putting an end to
conditions in the Chesapeake that for
years have been an abofnination, albeit
they have been oversensationalized in
the yellow press. says the Brooklyn
Eagle" Enough is known of the meth
ods of the brutal captains of oyster boats
to justify demand ror wholesale im-
prisonments. The captains, who repre-.
sent the ultimate Of commercialism, do
not hire their crews in manfnl fashion,
but engage with keepers OF resorts
ashore to supply them with ignorant i'm
migrants who are shanghaied while
drunk, or who are ignorant of the work
planned for them, and who. after secur-
ing load of shellfisH are set ashore in
lonely places without pay, food or
shelter.
These men are slaves while at sea,
and the knockdown argument is applied
to keep them busy. They are kicked,
clubbed, ropes ended, and, in some In
stances they have been killed, and no.
body Is punished. One reason for this
laxity is that the village communities
from which the oyster captains are sup
piled have been used to this kind of thing
all their lives, and have ceased to regard
as cruel or unusual a conduct that would
stir the wrath Of all civilization il it were
exhibited in our cities. 1t is therefore
necessary that government, which has
made few feeble forays into this de-
partment Of industry from time to time,
should exert itself and put a stop to this
farbarisn. The traditions of the sea
have always been severe, but because
apprentices were mast-headed and whal-
ed fifty years ago it is no reason why
grown men should be abused by crimps
and brutes today. A month of vigorous
work would reform the people Of the
Chesapeake.
