THRRR are loud protests at Ellis
Island because the exclusion laws
against improper immigrants are
being more strictly enforced. Com
missioner Williams is requiring
that every immigrant shall have
some visible means of support or
he will be excluded. even though
his physical and moral condition
seems to be beyond criticism. This
does not mean anything unreason-
able. The commissioner requires
that as rule an immigrant must
have at least twenty-five dollars in
his possession, SO that there will be
no danger Of his becoming an imme-
diate public charge. That amount
is little enough with which to start
life in a new country.

THERE is one point which stands
out strikingly in all the discussion
of the tariff and which has been
more than ever emphasized in this
session Of Congress. That is the
increasing importance of the posi-
ton of Chief Executive. There
are many Democrats and not few
Republicans who have viewed with
alarm the increasing responsibilities
which are being imposed on the
President. There are conscientious
men, in Congress and out, who
have devoted much thought to
some method of checking this ten
dency in legislation. But their ef-
forts have not proved availing.
The tremendous growth of the
country, the increase in numbers
of the House of Representatives,
far beyond any possible expecta-
tion of the trainers of the constitu-
tion. and the unesacpable complex
ity of the legislation enacted for SO
large country with such a variety
OF interests seem to render it i'm
possible to avoid comforting more
and more authority on the Chief
Executive and delegating to his
powers which quarter of centu-
ry ago would have appalled, every

GENERAL. Fred B. Grant WE

GENERAL Fred B. Grant wants
an army of I5o,ooo men, which
will make it something less than
twice as large as it is now. With
all respect to this able son of a
great soldier, nobody but man
who sees everything from the mill
tary point of view can tell what we
need with fifty or sixty thousand
more soldiers. A soldier costs
more than a school teacher, and
counts less in the working out of
American ideals. If there is any
thing like urgent need for an en-
larged army. neither the President
nor the country have been informed
Of that fact. And he who increas-
es the army by so much as single
man without real necessity, is
strangely out of touch with the
lpirit Of the time.
