STATE RIGHTS AND IMMIGRATION.

State rights and federal aggression seem TO
be getting on the nerves of some Of our South
ern friends. Many Southern Governors are I'D
In arms because the federal courts have en-
Joined the operation of state laws pending a
determination Of their consttutionality al
though full power 10 take such action is given
70 the courts under the terms of the -Four
teenth Amendment Having begun 10 view
with alarm the invasive tendencies of the
central government. Southern critics are be
ginning TO see "usurpations' lurking behind
every tree and fence post If actual offences
do not exist it is the fashion to imagine them:
and so we find newspapers as conspicuous as
The Memphis Commercial Appeal" and The
Charleston News and Courier" Interpreting as
an assault on state rights the construction re-
Gently given by the Department of Justice to
certain clauses of the immigration law Of
March, 1907
THE Commercial Appeal" says that in the
preparation Of the immigration law "a trap
was set for the South" II holds that the At
torney Generals opinion sprung the trigger,
'and Louisianas apparent submission TO this
decision, without seeking adjudication by the
supreme Court fixes il as fast and tight as
"eyen the administration could desire" South
ern Senators are cenSured because they let
the law pass in its present dubious shape. and
slider the consequences of that sin of omission
irreparable. since il mOurnfally concludes that
''the federal government has now the whip
hand" and 'the chances are that the ground
"lost the states because of a lack of watch

''never be regained"
We do not any justification for such
pessimism These two Southern newspapers
have certainly misread Attorney General Bona
parties opinion If they think il leaves the states
with fewer rights in the way of assisting i'm
migration than are given TO corporations and in
diYiduals. Mr.. Bonaparte's Interpretation does
not preclude the free use OF state funds to pay

ARRAHANS OTESTION.

We wish to call the attention of Republicans
who are doubling what to do about next
months election TO the history of Sodom
When Abraham learned that the Old town
was doomed he asked the Lord: "Wilt thou
also destroy the righteous with the wickedF'
We do not suppose that any RepuDhcah
wishes to destroy the righteous with the
wicked. whatever satisfaction it gives him TO
think of the parallel between fusion and Sodom
Fusion is more fortunate than the old town
which got its deserts centuries age, for there
are righteous mon on the fusion ticket, and
the modern process Of election, making II
( comparatively easy to choose between the right
eous and unrighteous does not impose the un-
discriminating fate that befell the ancient city.
1t is necessary neither to save the whole ticket
for the sake Of the righteous that may per
adventure be upon it nor TO destroy the
righteous with the wicked" The question then
for any Republican who is sulking in his tent
and doubling whether it is worth his while TO
vote or not is Abraham's old question.
Now about the righteous. The good men on
the ticket are worthy of support regardless OF
the character of other men whose names may
appear upon it. There is nothing about their
associations that absOlves any Republican from
giving them his Jealous support. 1t is just as
important TO elect Judges Bruce. Whitman and
Wadhams as it would be if all their associates
We're of their class and party and we could all
work and vote enthusiastically for the ticket
from head 10 tail 1t is just as desirable to
send honest and efficient AsSemblymen TO Al
bany as if the two most eminent citizens Of
New York were pitted against each other for
Sheriff. The interests of the city are just as
much AT stake in the choice of the new dis
trict judges, who will preside over the poor
mans courts" as they would be under better
auspices; and the Judges Bartlett deserve the
hearty support Of all Republicans for the Court
of Appeals, just if were perfectly happy
down here in corner of the state.
We have issues before us which have always
seemed good issues, and We must not ignore
them merely because we are not fortunate
this year as to be able TO make mark under
the eagle and ballot box with the heartiCst sat
sfaction. The principle Of continuing good
judges on the bench is involved no less in the
election of Judges Bruce. Whitman and Wad-
hams than in the election of the Judges Bart
lett. 1t summons us 10 work and 10 vote We
have a Governor 10 sustain IN whose policies
all feel deep interest and prda. and no thought
ful Republican can fail 70 recognize the duty
of sending men TO Albany who will act in SYM
pathy with Mr.. Hughes

With the wireless telephones now being in
stalled on Admiral Evans's batteships it Will
not be feasible to communicate at such dis
tances as with wireless teegraphy. On the
other hand, the officer in command of a fleet
would be enabled by the new equipment to talk
directly to his captains and to secure instanta-
neous replies. Reliance on telegraphy would in
volve more or less delay, for the services of
operators would be required and time would be
consumed in writing out messages both for
transmission and for delivery. Emergencies
might arise in which the saving of even min
ute two would be immensely valuable.
