She binds them into one;

While swift the

The new age comes. Proclaim the dawn.
No in all the ages gone
Held more of hope for men

Proves every evil force at last
Goes down before the avenaina blast;
And it shall come again.

Emma Goldman.

1t will be we'll for the country if a de-
csion is reached to deny to Emma Gold
man, now in Amsterdam in attendance
lists, permission to re-enter the country
upon her return. This Is chance too good
to be allowed to slip Emma Goldman is
unquestionably in the class of undesirables.
She Is a menace to the national peace OF
mind if not to the national security. She
stands for radcalism of the most pro-
nounced type, for assault upon all estab-
lished institutions. She teaches resistance
to organized government and she Is easily
the most obnoxious of all the preachers OF
the red doctrine for many years in evidence
on this side of the water.
Not long ago the government was asked
by a weak and unmanly citizen of New
York to exclude young Austrian woman
who was annoying him with her attentions,
inspired by a previous association with him
abroad. The case has been heard at some
length before the immigration authorities
| in New York, with more or less illuminat-
ing revelations respecting the relations be-
tween the two, and wholly to the dtsad-
vantage of the complainant. The admins
tration Is urged to keep this woman out be-
cause of her alleged moral undesirability.
If admitted she could not do one thousandth
woman as Emma Goldman, and it will
be interesting to note whether the govern
ment orders the deportation of the unfortu-
nate young Austrian and permits the Rus
sian firebrand to re-enter the country.

adventures to his monarch, Charles v, who
suggested some changes in the nomenCla-
ture assigned by Magellan to his diScov-
cries. One of these was in the name of
the southern point of South America. The
sagacious ruler of the Portuguese reasoned
that where there is smoke there must be
fire, a syllogism which has led many less
exalted parsonage into the light of truth.
He therefore commanded that the mysteri-
territory be styled TERRA del Fuego. or
Land of Fire. Subsequent explorations
have amply proved the wisdom of King
Charles choice of names, for the smoke
seen by Magellan came from the watch
fires or signal fires of the natives, who,
agitated by the appearance in their waters
of the amazing feet of five vessels, larger
than anything ever dreamed of in their
philosophy. became greatly excited, and
began to send wireless messages from point
to point. Later voyagers have noted and
described this system of the Fuegans. The
country. despite its suggestive name. is
bitterly cold most of the year, correspond
ing In latitude to the mid-pont of the Lab
rador coast Shipwrecked sailors on lonely
islands off the Fuegan shore are likely to
bewai the deuson of the intrepid Portu-
gucse navigator who gave such a tantaliz-
ing name to the land Of utter desoation.

Morocco.

Unexpectedly early success has been
achieved by the French commander in Mo
rocco in subduing the tribesmen who were

There was at one time every indication OF
serious revolt against not only the for

Chine guns. however the French have man
aged to persuade the tribesmen that con-

costly than effective, and Gen. Drude has
finally brought them to terms which il
faithfully observed, will go far toward re-
storing order to the distressed land.
But the withdrawal of the militant tribes

their reduction to a reliably pacific basis

Equinoctial.

The fine curl of scorn always twists the
scientific lip when the layman mentions the
''equinoctial storm" Science has long ago
abandoned such follies as the belief that
twice year certain ructions occur in the
elements, causing distinct disturbances
when the seasons change. from winter to
spring and from summer to autumn. There
is no such thing, science is tired of explain-
ing, as an equinoctial storm. AS we'll might
any other storm be called a meridional
storm. Science is practically out of pa
thence with the public for persisting in be-
lieving in this childish nonsense.
Nevertheless, the public does persist, and
will continue to persist until the human
mind is materially changed from its pres
ent constitution. For 1t has a habit of
noting condolences and it attributes more
force to them than to meteorological laws.

Freezing in the Land of Fire,

THIS is topsy-turvy world, indeed Here
Zones O news dispatch from New York
describing the arrival at that port Of a
number OF German sailors rescued from
freezing last July in TERRA del Fuego.
which in English means the Land of Fire.
1t Is necessary to stop to remember that
TERRA del Fuego lies in the southern hem
&sphere and that July is mid winter there,
Furthermore. It is well to bear in mind
that never was O land less appropriately
pamed than this southern tip of the west
ern world. When Magellan, the great Portu-
guese navigator sailed through the straits
that now bear his name on his way to the
Philippine Islands-which he did not know
existed-he saw to the south a great region
from the hills OF which lifted dense COL
nmns OF smoke. He entered upon his log
the discovery of this land. which he styled
TERRA de Humos. or Land Of Smoke. Upon
tis return to Portugal later he reported his
