The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1905-12-08


The Boston Evening Herald says OF
the 'code" which runs the prize fights
in the national naval academy: How
ever, it (expulsion) is not too severe a
punishment, for the country will demand
complete reorganization of affairs at
the Naval Academy 50 that duelling and
brutal fist fights may no longer disgrace
this institution. Various newspapers,
in commenting upon the punishment to
be melted out to Cadet Meriwether, have
condoned his offense as one which should
not bring down upon his head any par
ticnlarly severe punishment, because he
was doing what other boys have done
in the academy for long time, and
the accident which resulted in the death
of his adversary in the fist fight might
have come to any young men similarly
engaged. But the fact must be kept
in mind that the family Of the midship-
man who lost his life have right to
some consideration, and while the dis
missal Of Meriwether may not follow
in this case, it ought to be understood
that any further performances under
this brutal code shall be punished as
the bill of Representative Butler pro-
vides by immediate dismissal

UNIrARIANs REPLY.
True Test of Christian Discipleship Deeds

Boston, Dec. s-A reply TO their ex-
clusion as Unitarian delegates from the
interchurch conference ON federation at
New York has been prepared by Rev,
DIR. Edward Everett Hale, former Gov.
John d. Long and Samuel A. Eliot,
president of the American Unitarian As
ISOLATION. and yesterday this was for
wardcd in the form of letter to the
pastors of all the Unitarian churches
of greater Boston, who win read it
Sunday.
The address says in part:
'.Ne were refused admission to the
meeting on the ground that Unitarians
are not Christians. Our characters were
not impeached, but our beliefs were
condemned as hereticai.
I'VE make no controversy over this
action which puts, not US, but its pro.
meters at the bar of an enlightened pub.
| lie opinion. In view of it, however, i
seems timely for us to affirm anew the
simple truth, proclaimed of old by Christ
himself that righteousness of life and
spiritual efficiency rather than ortho'
doxy Of belief, is the test OF Christian
diseipleship. We affirm that the doing
Of the will of the Master is the vita
thing, and that beliefs about the nature
of Christ are unimportant in comparison
with practical obedience to His pre-
cepts."

DIVERTING THE STREAM OF
IMMIGRATION.

1t is fact that Of the vast streams
of immigrants which pour into the
United States each year the very great
amjority go where there are the least
alluring prospects and fight shy Of those
sections Of the country where the great
est hopes for their prosperity and happi-
ness are held out. They dump Them
selves down in those sections which are
already crowded and where the struggle
for bread is the sternest, whereas there
are open fields abroad which present
inviting outlooks. This condition is per-
haps easily explained but less easily
remedied. During the past year over
one million people were added to the
country's population, or, to be exact,
1926, 401. OF this vast number seventy
six per cent went last year into six
states New York received the largest
number, as would be supposed, 1851.
< Pennsylvania came next with 210,ToS,
with the other four coming in this order.
Illinois 72,770, Massachusetts, 72,150,
New Jersey 57,35s and Ohio 1881. IN
great contrast was the number Of immi-
grants going into the South the South
which il stretching out its hands to
the newcomers. A total Of I6,343, or
less than the number going to Ohio
alone, found their way into southern ter
ritory. Maryland, West Virginia and
Virginia got 5000 each, Louisiana 5000,
Texas 1000, Kentucky only 61s, Ten
nessee 1872, and with North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Arkansas, Indian Ter
ritory and Oklahoma dwindling down to
less than five hundred. Frank Sargent,
the commissioner general of immigra-
ton, declares that this great open sec
tion Of the country Golfers the best pos
sible opportunities to the immigrants
and yet they do not accept the invita-
ton.
The reason for the failure Of the i'm
migrants to spread out is undoubtedly
due to the fact that they are not ac-
euainted with the facts and because they
are introduced into this country largely
by two nothern ports, Boston and New
York. Coming to this country with only
. meagre equipment, as most Of them
do, they find it impossible, even il they
know Of the alluring prospects further
beyond, to travel any great distance
Thus handicapped, they settle in droves
where they are landed and get to work
in the struggle for existence in the most
congested districts and as soon as posi-
bic. The remedy for this condition lies
IN the suggestion Of Commissioner Sar-
gent, that they be induced as far rs
possible to land at other ports nearer
the territory which holds out better
existence to them.

and brilliant success. Mr.. Mansfield
soon afterwards produced an English
t~ransectional of the German original,
and that also was Il decided triumph.
At Mr.. Proctor's beautiful Fifty
eighth street theatre, of the larg-
est and best equipped play houses in
America by the way, the season OF
stock plays has thus far proven notably
successful. Situated as it is in the
heart of the prosperous and populated
section, the theatre has right
to be recognized as an important fac
tor in local theatricals. To that end
Mr.. Proctor has determined that no
expense shall be spared there in the
production, or in the excellence in the
casts.
Splendid vaudeville, and plenty Of
it, is still the successful watchword at
