There was something else that trou-

which they had made about his success

GETS CONTRACT TO
BURY CITY'S DEAD.

A. J. HOLE vas awarded the contract
for the burial of the city's dead at the
Common Council meeting last night.
His offer was the most satisfactory, al
though his bid was among the highest
received.
The question was raised whether the
morgue mentioned would not allow-the
morgue keeper to hold paupcrs- bodies
until a large number had accumulated
before burying them. The system was
lacking in respect to the dead, it was
held, besides being a menace to public
health. Alderman Day, chairman of
the poor and aims committee, assured
his fellow Aldermen that there would
be three burial days a week, and that
not more than two adults and two chill
dren should be in the morgue at the
same time.

not been met in this country. that 1--WE
have run away from it. We have
thought more of having a respectable
constituency of comfortable pewholders
that of saving the alien"
On the subject DIR. Vance says, in
part:
1T is at once a political, a financial.
an industrial, an economic, al educa-
tional, a social, an ethical and a relig-
ious problem. There is no problem at
once so threatening and so promising,
SO full Of hope and SO freighted with
despair.
Charity begins at home. If any
provide not for his own, and specially
for those of his own house, he hath de-
MED the faith and is worse than an in
fidel. This is as true of a nation as of u
family. 1t is well enough to talk about
the high humanity Of Unrestricted i'm
migration. but Americas first duty is
to save itself. A nation has the right,
If not the duty, to protect itself against
a foreign invasion, whether that inva-
sion come with battleships or with illit-
eracy and anarchy and contagious dis
content.
Can't Put Up Bar.
America cannot, if it would. be a
hermit. The day has passed for any
people to bar themselves off from the
rest Of mankind. In these days of
wireless biography and aerial naviga-
ton and the universal language, the.
pulse-beat of the race kin cannot be
ignored. There are no longer any des-
ert solitudes. The races have become
the people.
Barring the gate is not solving the
problem of the alien in America. Shut
ting your eyes and barring tho door
and closing the gate is no solution to
the problem of the thronging peoples.
Certainly not to one who has felt his
pulses beat with the love of man and
who has made his creed the doctrine
that there is no difference between t.e
Jew and the Greek, but the same Lord
over all is rich unto all that call upon
Him..
There is but one solution of the
problem. and that solution is not exclu-
sion, but assimilation These foreign
ers must he taken up into our ma
tlonal life and mads a part of us. They
must be made Americans.
Allen Convertible.
THE success or failure of our foreign
mission work is going to be settled
right here at home, The church that
breaks down before the alien in a
Christian land will never evangelize
the alien in a~non-C Christian land. And
the alien can be C~hristianized. He is
convertible; as much S az your native

Nine Newark Deaths from Gas

In compliance with a resolution pre-

by Alderman Day, the Board of Health
will be requested by that body to APP

The abolition of quarter gas meters

machines. Attention was called to the
nine deaths resulting from their pres
use.
