The Chattanooga Convention.

antne and Immigration Convention has
met delibcrated and adjourned, Probably
the conference has not definitely laid the
ghost OF a complicated and annoying
quarantine system, but 1t has ut least
taken AN appreciate step In that dlrcc-
ton. Congress Is Inemoral!zed to enact
a law placing the whole business of mari
time and frontier quarantine under Fed
Of interstate quarantine to the Joint jurls-
diction OF tho United States Government
and the several State Boards OF Health.
This last provision, obviously points in
authorities always show a marked ten
dency to clash. The doctrine OF States
rights is still wonderfully alert, however
and the joint regulation clause was in
staunch "rightsers" who shrunls from
what they doomed a usurpution of power,

The Burr-Hamilton Duel.

a friend. who read our reference in

Hamilton had bounded Burr until the
latter was compelled, under the usuagcs

repeatedly denounced Burr MS unpatrlotic,

on this account that Burr sent the chnl-

mark made by Hamilton to DR.. Charles
D. Cooper. Cooper had published a letter
in which he quoted Hamilton as having

be trusted with the rens Of government"
Cooper further said: II could detail to

1t Ind been runiored that the convention
had been packed against the admission
OF italian labor, but nothing Of this sort
became evident on the floor. John Sharp
Williams policy OF lowered bars and
cordial welcome to all aliens capable OF
getting by the immigration inspectors at
the ports, dominated the assembly. AS
to what type of foreigner the South should
especially seek TO attract, and what prac-
teal means should be taken to secure
him, the Conference was silent. Upon
this, whole vital question that body had
nothing wcightier to say than would be
suggested to any intelligent man after the
most superficial consideration.
1t Is only fair to remember, OF course,
that the Chattanooga Conference was II
body without power Of any sort. 1t could
do nothing but make recommendations to
State Legislatures and to Congress. No
doubt too, 1t was too large a body, and
It's procedures were too much after the
"set" speech order to adapt 1t for reach
Ing any very definite and unique results.
It's failure to give the South any marked
help In its rather pressing problem OF
securing new population is, therefore.
while somewhat disappointing, not par
ticularly surprising, Legislative commit
tees employers associations or well
equipped bureaus will probably prove
more fruitful Of positive and advantageous
results. In recommending the creation of
state immigration offices, the Conference
delegates have no doubt pointed out
simple means OF attaining the light on
the matter which they themselves failed
to shed.

Precedent for Governor Mickey.

Precedent tor Governor Mickey.
1t was stated In our news columns of
yesterday that Governor Mickey, OF Ne
braska, who is leading q crusade against
gambling and gnmes of chance In general,
has been severely criticised by some OF
the church folks for engineering a coin
tossing scheme to determine which OF the
Lincoln firms in competition should have
the privilege of exhibiting the silver SER
vice the State will present to the battle
ship Nebraska.
Governor Mickey may answer his critics
by quoting from the first chapter OF the
Acts Of the Apostles, beginning at the
twenty-third verse, ana reading as fol-
lows:
land they appointed two-Josepn,
called Barsabas, who was surnamed JUS
9tus, and Matthias.
And they prayed and said: Thou,
Lord, which knowcst the hearts OF all
men, show whether of these two Thou
hast chosen, ,.sJ5 aasgfsp6oa
That he may take part OF his minis
try and apostleship, from which Judas,
by transgression, fell that he might go
to his own place.
"And they gave forth their lots; and the
lot fell upon Matthias and he was num-
bcred with the eleven apostles"
We do not justify gambling or any
games Of chance. but Governor Mickey
has in the above an honorable precedent
for his method of selection.
This story reminds us Of another which
came under our observation several years
ago. a pious man In small town hud
taken a firm stand against a game Of
chance that was being conducted at the
village fair, and proclaimed time and
again that he was conscientiously op-
posed to all forms OF lottery. His little
daughter who was deeply impressed
with tho attitude Of her father, especially
as she had been forbidden on this ac-.
count to attend the fair was sitting with
her parents and caller one evening,
when the subject Of matrimony was I'M
der discussion. Finally her father re.
marked that at best matrmony was moro
or less a lottery The little girl was ter
amazement: Oh, papa, / Thought that
you and mamma were Il Opp oseds to lot
terry" fss ~ afs. y. y q &.
Much depends on the point ofview, and
much depends also upon. the motive. Gov
ernor Mickey no more intended by his
innocent act to encourage the gambling
spirit than did the parents of this little
girl, when they took chances iii the lot
terry of matrimony.
