of the canal also. But it may not be so per-
manently. 1t is not yet decided just where the
final opening of the canal into the Caribbean
will be, but there is at least probability that
il will be several miles west of Colon. In that
case the railroad terminus will also doubtless
be shifted, the present site of Colon will be
abandoned, and new city will arise in the
new place precisely as Panama was rebuilt IN
a new place after its destruction by Morgan
The rational plan would seem TO be, therefore,
to wait until Congress finally decides upon the
plan of the canal, which it should do in the
near future If that plan provides for north
ern terminus at Colon, then the present Guy
should be improved as rapidly as possible by
raising its level and filling up the surrounding
swamps with material brought down from Cule-
bra. If. on the other hand, the plan is suen as
TO REQUIRE terminus at some other point steps
should be taken for the removal OF Coioh
+Ii+hor In any case there is no just ground for
tbe slangwhangng which some are lndulglhs III

THE DISTRIBUTION OF ALIENS

a bill recently introduced in the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Gardner. of Massa-
enusets, may, if it becomes law aid ma
terialy IN repairing one of the marked fail
ures in our present method of handling alien
immigration We have built up a fairly eff
fective system Of inspection at our ocean ports.
We insist on standards of eligibility which have
barred the contract laborer, the pauper the
physically and mentally defective the criminal
and the professional anarchist The quality OF
the alien inflow has been raised. But we have
failed in planning merely to exclude the unde-
sirables. We are admitting each year from
100000 to 100000 newcomers. with prima
facie qualifications, and giving them practically
no further thought after they leave the deten-
ton stations Instead of supervising their dis
tribution and aiding them TO choose the en-
vironment in which they can most readily be
assimiIated workers and citizens, we leave
that guidance to the labor padrone or TO Proyi-
dence
Mr.. Gardner's bill aims at a system of distrf-
button in which the government will come to
the assistance of the helpless and ignorant i'm
migrant It authorizes the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor TO establish information bu-
reaus at the chief immigration ports these
bureaus TO furnish the incoming alien with the
facts he needs about wa ges, the cost of living
and the demand for labor in various parts of
the country. This information, given gratis and
officially, may determine thousands of immi-
grants 10 turn to fields where they are most
needed and where they be most readily
AmericaniZed. Lacking such information they
may rush 10 labor market already glutted or
90 TO increase the unwhoesome alien colonies
now too deeply rooted in the life of our larger
Eastern cities. There, ignorant of the English
language and having little or no inducement TO
learn it, they may fall an easy prey to the
padrone and help 70 perpetuate conditions
which are menace to the c0mmunity's health
and progress. If these same aliens could be
distributed among the smaller towns or sent
into the country as labOrers, not only would
they be helpful force economically, but in less
than a generation they would be successfully
assimilated with the body polite

THE DINNER WAS ALL RIGHT.

From The Edmeston IN. " Local
At this writing we feel though would not
give dime for anything more to eat for several
days to in fact too full for utter
anCe," having been Toasted q New Years dinner
given by our estimabe friend and fellow tOwnsman
Mr.. Israel Talbot The dinner given in honor
of the children of Edmeston, to which the writer,
among dozen other older ones, were hidden. ::
Why did he do il? Why this magnificent md
munidcent dinner given? It was the pTomptings of
overlooking heart to do good. 1t not to
gain prominence neither was it for any political or
secular aspirations that he sought. 1t came from
that silent monitor within yelling up and
flowing to such extent that he simply could not
help doing the thought of some good deed that
uppermUst in him. 1t is not the first time that his
muniicence has been shed abroad as many a one
testify, and yet it has been done in such
unasumng manner that it is we'll said of him that
his left hand scarcely knew what his right hand
done.

New Use for TrOlIev.

And now our citizens are called up
on to face new peril relating to our
curbstone market. 1t has been discov-
cred that this useful institution main
tanned by Danville for it's own benefit
is also serving Catawissa and Blooms
burg. A gentleman familiar with
travel on the Danville and Bloomsbury
street railway states that any number
of people, especially during the sum-
mer, come down from che towns above
by..trolley and carry home heavy loads
purchased of our farmers. One meIch-
ant is authority for the statement even
that during the past season he did
quite business in baskets supplying
Bloomsbury and Catawissa people who
had come down to our market, and
attracted by the choice and abundant
supply of. produce wished to carry
heavy purchase along home. All this
is flattering enough from certain
standpoint but is not so pleasant to
contemplate when we reflect that Of
many commodities, notably butter and
eggs, we have not enough to supply
our own population and the price is
way up. With neighboring towns in
this way drawing on our supply there
is no probability Of the scarce COM
modities becoming more abundant or
high prices taking drop.

GEORGE ARNOLD
ADJUDGED INSANE

The commission appointed by Judge
Evans to inquire into and report on
the mental condition of George Ar
mold, prisoner from Montour coun-
ty, serving time in the Eastern pen
itentIary, presented its report to court
Saturday, Oh the strength of which
the court made an order committing
the prisoner to the hospital for the in
sane at Norristown.
The commission, consisting of Charles
v. Amerman, attorney at law; H. B.
Meredith, physician; and David Shell
hart. layman; was appointed by the
court on the petition of the warden of
the Eastern penitentiary, who stated
that Arnold was undoubtedly insane
and was not a fit subject for penal
discipline. The commission visited
the penitentiary and examined wit
nesses. after which they made report
in effect as follows:
That they are of the opinion that
the prisoner, George Arnold, is afflict-
ed with delusions; that he is of un-
sound mind and consequently unfit for
penal discipline also. that he is unfit
to be at large. The committee, there
fore, recommended that the court make
an order directing the removal of Ar
mold from the place of his imprison-
ment to some hospital for the insane.
In locating the prioner's relatives
the report states that his father is a
patient in the hospital for the insane
at this place. 1t recommended, how
ever, that the prisoner be not sent to
the Danville hospital for the reason
that if he should escape from an in
stitution so near his home his former
acquaintances might be in danger. An
additional reason was given in the
fact that DR.. Meredith of the COM
mission, superintendent of the hospit-
al for the insane at Danville, might
be considered by Arnold as persecut-
or.
Judge Evans accordingly made an
order committing Arnold to the hos
pital for the insane at Norristown.
Sheriff George Maiers will proceed to
Philadelphia the present week and re-
move the prisoner.
Both associates. Blee and Wagner,
occupied the bench with Judge Evans
on Saturday.
In the matter of the argument on the
road case in Limestone township H.
M. Hinckley submitted his brief. r.
S. zimmerman being absent, the court
ordered that he be notified to prepare
and submit his brief within a week.
