In the temples of music there IS dis

These things have come to pass be-
cause a brutal and unfeeling Govern

CarusO, he whose liquid tenor notes
have tickled the goddesses painted on
the highest roofs in this country. and
he whose absent-minded fingers pinched
a young woman in front OF a monkey
house. may be prevented from ever en-

Can He Pass Ellis Island?
Caruso is now out Of the country.
But he will return In the near future.

Deportation Considered.


At the time he was convicted the Fed

porting CarusO. II was said, but no ac-
ton was taken. His departure from
the country places him on the defensive,
however. for his attempt TO return may
cause the immigration officials 10 take
some notice Of his conviction.
To pinch a woman in front Of q
monkey house, or ia front Of any other
house. has been clearly pronounced as
involving moral turpitude. both by the
courts Of New York and by public SEN

In the opinion OF the State Depart
ment the most serious consequence OF
the present anu-American agitation IN
Japan is the Inevitable delay caused BY
Il in the successful conduct Of the negO-
tiations which are pending for the con-
clusion Of a new treaty OF commerce
and immigration between the two coun-
tries. There Is also, Of course. the pos
sibility that continued reiteration of
charges and counter-charges may u.t-
mately lead TO an estrangement OF the
two peoples.
Secretary Root is not allowing himself
to be disturbed. however, by the situa-
ton. He recognizes in it the campaign
of the japanese pTOgressives in Japan,
to overthrow the party in power.

Unpleasant Situation Possible.

Unpleasant Situation Possible.
1t was stated TO a Times reporter to-
day at the Bureau OF Immigration that.
undoubtedly. the situation could be made
most unpleasant for Caruso. as he comes
clearly within the scope OF the law by
the action OF the New York courts.
For instance, IL Mrs. Graham, smart
ing from the pinch that was pinched
months ago, should appear at the i'm
migration station and voice in loud
and insistent tones her belief that
Caruso was an undesirable person, an
investigation would have to follow. At
any rate. since the report has reached
Washington that one of the officials 1t
the immigration station in New York
has determined to put the matter TO the
test. q seems likely that the affair
will be investigated anyway.

Had Trouble Getting Married.

According to the Glasgow News. a
young couple who recently arrived in
that city to obtain a marriage license
had considerable trouble in carrying
out their program, the prospective
bridegroom being arrested twice on
more or less serious charges. The
story, as told by the Glasgow w
paper, is as follows:
Virgil A. Hollenbeak and Carrie NJ.
Boughton, a young couple, arrived
here the first Of the week from Jordan
with the intention Of getting married,
bat they found tine sheriff awaiting
them with a telegram, ordering the
mans arre7. for clipping with a girl

groom was lodged in the county Jail

most horrible propensities are found
among our immigrants, and it is the
settled belief that only by stringent
laws and ceaseless vigilance can We
escape q food of undesirables.
Race prejudice is very strong and
Americans are not free from it. Be-
cause a few foreigners 60 wrong it
does not follow that all immigrants
from the land represented by the few
are a bad lot. The European view.
based on hard facts, disputes this in
dictment. In the past Germany has
complained, with good reason, that all
the ablebodied young men ran of to
America. The storage population
proved it. Now several European
countries are protesting that the bone
and sinew of the agricultural districts
are moving westward. Small farmers
and village tradesmen are emigrating.
and industry and agriculture are suf-
fering. Both views cannot be right.
We do get q percentage of criminals
and paupers and would gladly cut
them out. But If we r getting the
kind Of stuff Europe Is anxious to keep
at home, it is worth our while to make
a sharp distinction and while snubb.
ing the wrong sort welcome the right
sort. There are more where they
come from.
One of the members of President
Roosevelt's cabinet is an example OF
foreign born citizens that should be
welcomed. Oscar Straus. secretary
of labor and commerce., came to the
United States with his parents in
1904, as a Storage passenger. he
was the right kind of stuff, and has
filed many public positions OF honor
and responsibility.

THE H~IGH:sCHOOL LAW.

The result of the special election IN
Chouteau county authorizes the es'
Establishment Of a county high school
at Havre, which was the only candi'
date for its location. The majority IN
favor of the proposition was small,
but it is as effective as o OF larger
size.
The conditions under which such
elections are held have brought about
q similar result in other counties.
where il is known a majority OF the
taxpaying voterstwere opposed to the
proposition. A local community has
desired the establishment Of a high
school at the expense Of the taxpayers
of the whole county. and has invoked
the aid of the lawlto secure such edu.
cational facilities. That privilege is
offered by the county high school law.
and no blame attaches 70 those who
avail themselves Of it. The fault and
Injustice are in the law itself.
The provisions .ot the county high
school law are unjust and unrea-on-
able in many respects. The signatures
