FROM OTHER PENS
-CoDDhING RUFF4ANs.

Advocates OF. unrestricted 1mm1gra-
ton are fond Of arguing that all kinds
ing country-that the American race is
now distinctive and is amply able to
assimilate all Corners. To these, en-
thusiasts. even the degraded and GRIM
inal classes from the south Of Europe
can be transmitted into good citizens in
time, through kind and indulgent hos
pitality of this alien land. They affect
the belief that the seeds of criminality
planted a thousand years ago in a race
of degenerates and nourished in ignor-
ance and vice can be eliminated by
few decades of exposure to American
civilization.
These theorists can find very little by
way of encouragement in the recent
action of the italian government in
ordering confiscation of knives and
stillettoes throughout that country. =.

ALL EYES ON JOHNSON.
It may be advisable to keep an eye
on Henry Watterson's dark horse, Gov
ernor Johnson of Minnesota. His speech
at the Gridiron dinner seems to have
convinced all who heard him that he is
a man Of presidential size. He is also
a great vote-getter, and If the Demo-
cratic party needs one thing more than
another at the present time it is man
who can go out and get the votes. After
all it takes votes to elect Democratic
president and we shall never have
Democratic policy until a Democrat is
found who can carry the country

The suggestion of Editor Walter H.

government should have official re-
ports of greater literary merit offers
unlimited inducements to the literary

to reward him for his suggestion, Mr.

its three days session with a banquet at
the Hotel Aston and the Waldorf AS.

the coming Hague conference to show
that the United States Is strongly 10
favor of steps-beipg taken to bring about
international peace.
The comforting OF the Legion Of Honor
decoration on Andrew Carnegie at the
Hotel Astor banquet last night, by
Baron dEstournellae de Constant greatly
pleased the peace delegates as they rs.
serted that Mr. Oarnegie's efforts 10 the
cause of peace fully merited the honor.
One noticeable feature Of tho recent
congress wss the number Of new mem.
beers enlisted 10 both the national and
New York psace societies. With the
impetus given the peace cause BY the
congress, members predicted that the
agitation for the cause will DO continued

next national congress are already being
discussed and it is planned to mako it
an even greater success than the meeting
