Lawbreakers Not wanted.

Over in London Ambassador Reid
is reported to have registered Wig
orous protest with the British gov
eminent against the conduct of a
court which released a convicted
counterfeiter upon the promise that
he would emigrate to the United
States. 1t has been strongly sus-
pected for some time that in more
than one European country offenders
against law were sometimes set free
on condition that they should cross
the Atlantic. 1t is hardly necessary
to point out that such a practice vio-
lates every principle of international
comfy.
Whenever examples of It are I'M
covered, not only the representatives
of the United States abroad but the
state department should take drastic
action. This republic extends a hos
pitable welcome to aliens with an
honest past who come here to earn
their bread. There is no room here
for foreign criminals. Altogether
too many of these have been slipping
through our gates, as the records of
American prisons show. This abuse
is one that ought to be absolutely
stopped. The federal authorities
should employ every means in their
power to end it.

MADRIz MAKES COMPLAINT
Says Americans Handicapped Nicar-

San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua, June
15.-President Madriz, it Is under
stood, has sent a message. to Presiden;
TAFT with reference to the action OF
the American naval commander at
Bluefields since the capture of the bluff
by the government forces.
President Madriz declares in his
message that Bluefields would have
been occupied Immediately but for the
commander of the United States gun
boat Paducah, who announced that he
would oppose this by force of arms.
The attitude of the American COM
mander thus enabled the revolution
lists to leave the town and concentrate
their whole force against the single
government column.
AS a result of the capture of the
bluff, DR.. Madriz points out, the Gus
tom house fell into the hands of the
government, but the American COM
mander ordered the payment of duties
to the new revolutionary custom house
which was established up the river.
He twice threatened to sink the Max

New Primary Law.

On July 1 the new primary election
law goes into effect. In many respects
it differs from the so-called "Oglesby

being that the new statute provides

vile and Cairo having boards of cleo
ton &C mmissioners, voters who are
not registered or who have changed
their place of residence since last
registration and who will be legal
voters on the date of the primary,
Sept. Is, may register with the board
of election commissioners. 1t devolves
upon that body in Springfield, for in
stance, to prepare various forms of
affidavits and af1rmations for use of
applicants for registration after July
1, the law specifying that voters de-
string to so register must do so 20
days prior to the primary. Any pri-
mary elector of a precinct may chal-
lenge by affidavit the registration of
any other elector, such affidavit to be
filed on the 18th or 18th days imme-
diately preceding the primary. At
least five days prior to the date of the
primary the board of election COM
missioners must post at each polling
place books containing names of all
newly registered voters. On Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesday, preceding
the primary the commissioners must
