more responsive to environment in its pol

IS LIFE WORTH LIVINGi

II early became convinced" wrote
the late ]. B. Kitchen. in his self-pre-
pared funeral address, that it was a
serious matter, If not a real misfor-
tune, to be born into the world" In
effect, this is but revival of the ever
old, always new question: us life
worth living?" a problem that has
been kept alive throughout the ages,
challenging the attention and discus
sion from the Hottentot in South At
RIGA to the robed priest of our most,
advanced civilization. The hating
logic of one and the acquired wisdom
of the other have been brought to bear
upon the problem and both have left
the solution, where it must remain,
with each individual.
The world will not hesitate, how
ever, to return an emphatically AFFIRM
alive answer to the question. If the
problem ended with the cradle. the Joy
of motherhood and the pride of pa
ternity, with the betterment of man
kind that follows their manifestation,
would be justification sufficient for
bringing new lives into the world, re-
gardless of the future of such lives.
But life is worth living for the child.
The sunshine, the flowers, the birds
and the worlds love are the natural
heritage of children and every day is
frightened and better by the laugh Of
a happy child, the laugh that makes
dimples in enough cheeks to catch and
to hold and to glorify all the tears of
grief.
II is difficult TO understand how the
man of mature years can hesitate as 10

petual question. AS co-heir in the estate

own enjoyment, but for the pleasure

to wall against fate and muck-rakers

but the average man will still go for,

SERMONS BOILED DOWN.


Love Of the law finds liberty in the law.
The way to keep friends is to keep faith.
The sleeping church always awakes to
shame
Scratch chronic critic and you find a
hypocrite.
The heaviest chains are made from liber-
ties abused.
He cannot move hearts whose heart can
not be moved.
A moonshiny religion does not make a
sunshiny world.
A worthy life is impossible without a
worthy motive.
The worst punishment of sin is that one
learns to love it,
He who must be goaded to do right is
going to do wrong.
You never know what is in a man until
he gets in a minority.
The bread of life is never on the lips of
the bread and butter preacher.
The only good that really is good for
any is that which works good for all.
The really moving sermon is the one
that makes you get up and do things.
Let money talk and you are sure to
hear the accent Of a fool before long.

A divergence of opinion is promised
as to proposed measures to define the
duties Of the state Railway commission
created under the newly adopted
amendment to the constitution OF Ne
braska. Congress has recently passed
an act giving authority to the Inter
state Commerce commission over in
terstate traffic, and the legislature will
not go far amiss If it keeps close to
that law in delegating powers to the
State Railway commission with refer
ence to traffic within state boundaries.

THE JAPANESE SCHOOL CASES.

Inn NJ ANLoH DNhCOG bA5A''
The suits now formally brought by
the United States place in due course
of settlement the questions arising un-
der California law from the segregation
of Japanese pupils in the San Fran
cisco public schools. question of fact
and a more important constitutional
question are involved. The national
government maintains that exclusion
Of the Japanese from the grade schools
attended by whites is in contravention
of treaty guaranteeing to them all
rights and privileges under the famil-
lar Observation-Disclosures clause, which
is point made by the Japanese them
selves.
But the chief interest is in the ex-
tent of the treaty power under the con-
stitution which has never yet been
definitely bounded. If the supreme
court should hold segregation to
be in violation of the treaty, still
the validity of the treaty itself and
the power of the national government
to enforce it in such matters against
state and municipal laws remain for
determination. This is indeed one
of the oldest controverted points of
constitutional construction, and as the
number of foreign residents multiply
it's Importance must increase. If treaty
force is limited by the reserved
rights" of the several states, the ma
tional government must obviously be
powerless to enforce against local OPP
position and violation the obligations
usually carried by treaties among the
great civilized nations. Sooner or later
some remedy would have to be devised,
because just grievances are certain to
be inflicted on subjects of foreign ma
lions resident here.
Back of constitutional construction,
however, is the offense to Japanese
pride involved in what appears to them
prejudiced discrimination, whether the
San Francisco school regulation be
held technically within the treaty or
not. What really stirs indignation is
probably rather numerous instances of
hoodlum persecution and outrage not
few of which are collected in Secre-
tary Metcalf's report, the school law
being only the occasion selected for
diplomatic action. The substantial
basis for tolerable relations must be
public sentiment reflected through
local public authority, insuring justice
and equal protection at least in the
common rights of humanity. If this
should fail, as it has already too often
failed, remedies must be found
through national authority under pen
atty of infinite trouble and disaster.

THE WORLDS RELIEF RESPONSE.

Within a year the world has an
swered numerous special calls upon
its sympathies and generous impulses,
and the response has been full Of en-
enlargement for the optimist. The
Kingston catastrophe is a new and
notable case. The spontaneous efforts
for relief show that the wellsprings of
generosity have not been exhausted or
diminished by the recent immense
drafts upon it in like emergencies at
San Francisco and Valparaiso. They
have on the contrary rather been slim
ulated and enlarged by those very ex-
periences which impress the dire need
and utter helplessness of great commu-
mites thus stricken.
Selfish interest does not explain in
cidents like the universal uprising to
aid the Kingston victims, which is as
quick in remote as in nearby localities,
among strangers and foreigners. as
among the sufferers own people, The
result is not perhaps altogether due to
sheer growth of humane spirit. Fa-
cilities for communication have
brought the whole world incomparably
closer together than they were only a
! generation or two ago, so that ap-
palling calamity becomes now real at
distances where it could not then have
been heard of or from which relief
could not be made effective. But GER
tainly humane feeling and world
brotherhood have been vastly devel-
oped as the horizon has broadened.
Modern means of distributing loss
by insurance and innumerable other
forms of regular associated effort have
accomplished much to improve the
average lot, and in no small measure
they, too, reflect a genuine and ra-
tional philanthropy. But they are
utterly inadequate to the overwhelm-
ing needs of Kingston or a San Fran
cisco catastrophe. The consciousness
that the utmost that all can bestow is
imperatively called for is what sets
every official or private energy in mo-
n ton on the instant. In the present
emergency 1t is gratifying that our own
government and people are foremost
to help a grievously hurt community
under another flag. We have no mo-
nopoly OF generous instinct, but the
precedent is honorable and creditable

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.

The ultra immigration restrictionists
will never rest satisfied until they shall
have surrounded the United States
with an insurmountable wall through
which no foreign-born immigrant will
be allowed to pass. Pending that time
the foundation for their wall of ex-
clusion and build it constantly higher
and higher.
Every American citizen, barring the
aboriginal Indians, must trace his an
cestry back to some foreign-born immi-
grant, and were it not for the liberal
policy pursued during the first cen
fury of our existence toward recruits
from abroad this country would never
have grown to it's present greatness
and prosperity. No one contends that
we should not exclude newcomers who
are undesirable because of criminality,
pauperism or dependence, but our pres
ent laws cover all these points with
rigid stringency. The proposal now
made TO go further than ever before
and vest examining boards with author.
ity to reject immigrants on so-called
evidence of "low vitality" would SET
up an unheard-of test of fitness and
give practically autocratic power to i'm

The people of the United States, and
especially of the great west, are eager
to welcome any well-intentioned, able
bodied immigrant willing to work tc
better his condition. They have great
undeveloped resources, which require
labor as we'll as capital to exploit, and
they are ready to share opportunities
with those who have been less favored

have serious obstacles to overcome
when they set out afresh in a new
country and among neighbors who

s1LARH Gran TRIoKERY.

BY the tricky injection Of the
amendment for so per cent salary
increase for congressman into the leg
islative appropriation bill the house
confirms the bad impression of its
previous action in this matter. That
body is on record at this session as
voting down this Identical proposition.
It's action cannot be sincere in both
cases.
The reports rife at the time the
original bill was up in the house
raised suspicion of a discreditable pur-
pose to make show of opposition to
the increase, throwing over onto the
senate, whose responsibility to the peo-
pie is not so direct, the burden of CIV
ing it an advantageous place in the
appropriation. 1t is a trick not I'M
usual in parliamentary sharp practice.
To pretend to reject the grab when
the roll is called and then to sanction
it anonymously and underhand on a
yea and nay vote is self-evident trifling.
In a word, the public issue under
the circumstances is not on the merits
of salary increase, which Is always a
delicate matter when the beneflciaries
for the most part are themselves the
donors. In this case the matter had
not even been thoroughly discussed in
public, but rather held back till the
term of the present congress was
within a few weeks of expiration. The
paramount question Is the evasive and
dislngenuous treatment of the public.
II 1t were a good end the method used
is so bad as to invite condemnation.
There is only one proper disposal OF
the whole business, namely, for con-
gress to take the constituents first into
their confidence. If conditions really
call for a salary increase the people
would readily give their sanction and
! the matter might be dealt with
squarely and above board.

sPOoNER AND TlLLMAK.

No utterance delivered in the senate
during this session has been better re-
ceived by the enlightened sentiment
OF the country than Spooner's condem-
nation of Tillman, The rebuke is the
more effective because judicial rather
than vituperative. 1t is opportune be-
cause the vogue of the South Carolina
senator, though it has offended intel
ligent men with species of coarse
sensationalism and anarchism, has
caused imitation and produced a new
type of politician in the south.
To controvert, even with parlia-
mentary courtesy, the dangerous senti-
ments which Tillman from the first,
and more frequently Of late, has ex-
pressed on the floor of the senate and
in promiscuous public addresses, was
to invite the vengeance of his un-
licensed tongue and to provoke wilder
excuses, and many of our public men
have undoubtedly been deferred by
! this reason from vigorously combating
him to his face. But especially with
reference u lynching and the relations
of the black and white races. his In
cendiary and lawless spirit has already
done incalculable harm.
The problem of race adjustment may
be peculiarly one for the south, in
parts OF which the blacks are SC
densely massed. But even there the
only true solvents must be justice and
right and law, all of which Tillman IL
his public character as a United States
senator ostentatiously and contemptu
ously tramples on. If such is not hii
