Unreasonable Law.

From the Boston Herald.
Another boatload Of Russian Jewish
refugees is on the way to this country
under the auspices of the American
Jewish Aid society, and will present a
test case to the federal authorities
whether or not the fact that they come
here under the implied promise of this
society to provide employment for
them makes them ineligible for ad-
mission under the contract labor law.
Surely 1t is better IL some organized
agency receives such immigrants and
aids in their distribution about the
country where there is room for them
and where their labor is needed than
to have them dumped into New York
City to hunt for such place of per-
manent labor and abode as they may
find. A law Ia unreasonable that does
not admit the benevolent effort Of
such societies as this.

Of Lincoln to the effect that you can't
fool all the people all the time, may
express the truth, but for many

In all the multifarious avenues of in

And did 80 several times a day.

And sweets he boldly put away.
And when the hour of reckoning came
In accents sorrowing, but sure.

He ordered many a frosty glass.
In haste, for fear the draught might
