A BRUTAL. GOVERNMENT.

Nothing so shameful and notifying to any
good citizen has occurred for many years past
in connection with the immigration Depart
rnent at Ellis Island, the deportation
Tuesday last of child two and half years of
age says the South Side Observer. The child,
Josef Pastar, came with his mother, two
brothers and sister in July last, from Kishineff
Russia The father was tailor working in
Philadelphia and had sent the money out of his
earnings to bring his family over. The little
boy had some scalp trouble, as have thousands
of other children, and he detained at Ellis
Island while the family went to Philadelphia
The father agreed to pay Is cts a day for sup
port of the child while at the hospital, then
kissed his baby goodby and went back to work,
taking the other members of the family with
him. Every day he saved up his IS cts: from
his daily wages until $175 had been paid.
But times got hard and the father could
not remit the money The unpaid bill was re-
ferred to the authorities at Washington and
Commissioner Watchborn ordered to send
the child back to Europe. Thus this little boy
is to be sent back to Kishineff, with no father
or mother to care for him, the other members
of the family remaining in this country. It
probably amounts to sentence OF death, as it
is not likely the child will be spared to grow up
among strangers.
A more brutal and barbarous act of the
United States Government was never known,
and we predict it will be a long time before
President Taft hears the last of it. When the
child was told that lie to be taken on a
long "bye-bye across the water he cried bitter
1y for his mother and father, and seemed to
understand in his childish way that he was to
be taken far away from them.

What was predicted when the ditch fever
struck Minnesota, is now making itself mani
fest The bitches are beginning to fill up from
natural causes and will have to be cleaned out
if they continue of any use. Up in Ottertail
county the county commissioners have COM
menced cleaning them and assessing the against
the property thru which the bitches run. There
suit is that healthy crop of lawsuits have
sprung up and the lawyers are looking forward
to a bountiful harvest. It was all serene when
the bitches were first put in and the waters run
off at once. But it is altogether different in
the course of four or five years, after the winds
have blown those bitches partly or perhaps
entirely full of earth and dead vegetation, over
which a live sod may be forming and thus des-
troying the usefulness of the ditch. Then it is
that the contribution box has to be passed
around again and each fellow has to shell out
whether he wants to or not. And the worst OF
it is that the call will continue to be made every
three to ten years.-Litchheld News-Ledger.

PERTINENT SUGGESTIONS FOR AMBI-
TIOUS YOUTHS.

There are many ways and many openings
for the young man Of fair common school edu-
cation to earn livelihood, but we desire to call
the young mans attention to one of them, that
is absolutely reliable and to last aThe
feeding of one hundred million of people in the
United States is problem that must be
solved. The young man that makes study of
and learns how to produce food products econ
omcaly will always be in demand. The
who can take the earth and the cow and the
hen, and the pig, the forest and the garden and
the orchard and get the best and the most out
of them, will always have employment at liv-
ing wages, for he will know something and can
do something that will be of value to the whole
world. For the young who is not afraid
to work and who is ambitious to make the
most of himself, who wants to get out of the
ranks of the army of common plugs and shape
his life on broader and higher plane there is
no field SO inviting modern agriculture.
The study of the problem of agriculture
will bring man into contact with animal and
plant life and all the Phenomena of nature and
have tendency to make him broad gagged
and intelligent as well useful. Think of it
young man and consider it seriously but do not
think for minute that farming is simple
that you can farm off hand without
any thorough preparation for the business. If
you do and attempt it you will become only
hayseed, not a successful business farmer such
as the world demands and who becomes indie
pendently we'll off in few years from the cul-
tivation of small farm. Begin the study of
scientific farming by reading good farm papers
like Hoard's Dairyman, the Northwestern Agri-
culturist the Farmer and others. Read expert
ment station bulletins, get out in the country
and see things grow and then if you are not
enthused or do not desire piece of land Of
your own, you had better not attempt farming
or darying-Duluth News Tribune

The one thing which would convince
the American people, more than anything else,
of Mr.. Tafts independence and exceptional
fitness for the office of president of the United
States, would be veto of the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill, provided it's schedules do not meet
the requirements of honest revision downward.
1t would require great courage, but the coun
try would support the president, and he need
not fear the political consequence of such an
act-Elbow Lake Herald.

ORDERS MEN TO
SALUTE WHEELER
Military Commandant at Univer-
sity Scolds Sophomores for
Lack of Courtesy


BERKELEY, Aug. 26.-Sophomore
students registered in the course in
military science at the University of
California were reprimanded yesterday
by Prof. E. NJ. Lewis. head of the de-
partment. for what he termed their
lack of courtesy to President Benjamin
Ide Wheeler. He said that the impor-
lance of President Wheeler's position
made it almost obligatory upon them
to salute him as they passed the head
of the university on the campus.
Professor Lewis address, which
caused a buzz of comment on the cam
pus was delivered after he had espe-
cially warned the members of the class
that his talk was to be treated strictly
In confidence He said
THE head of this university is en-
titled to more evident signs of respect
than you make at the present time.
The Importance of his office justifies
more attention being paid the man who
fills it. Meeting the head of the uni
versity, it is your duty to give him the
military salute, after the manner of
ordinary military etiquette.
You may possibly not like the man
you are saluting. yet you have this to
remember that you are saluting the
man for the Office he holds, and not
for himself

money from the latter and untruth-
fulness were the main charges of
cruelty testified to by Harry Batham,
an engineer, against Leonia F. Batham,
upon which the husband was granted
a divorce by Judge Trout yesterday.

held up and robbed of 500 belonging
to him, but she afterward admitted
to the police she had spent the money
on clothes. A letter from Mrs. Batham
to her husband, admitting her wrong
doing but pleading for a chance to
show she would be good henceforth,

Fastener Says Oakland Off

He Was UnfaithfuI

OAKLAND. Aug IS. Protesting
bitterly against the alleged action of
the Oakland police in informing his
wife that he was providing for another
woman. Thomas Carvey of SS4 Pine
street called at the office of Chief VIII
son this morning and said that his
family had been wrecked by this state
ment, which he declared to be utterly
false
Carvey broke down and wept as he
told his story, and in the frenzy of his
grief he declared that he would kill
himself unless his wife's confidence in
him could be re-established- He said
that he left his wife and two children
in Lawrence. Mass. two years ago and
came to California in search of health
and profitable employment.
Yesterday Carvey received a letter
from his wife, telling him that she was
through with him. that he had dis
graced her and their children, and that
she was heartbroken. Dumfounded, the
man sought an explanation among his
friends, and discovered, so he says, that
his wife. alarmed by the long lapse in
his letters, had written TO the police
for information concerning him, and
that the peace officials had informed
her that he was unfaithful.
Chief Wilson promised Carvey to
make an investigation of his story.
