The Silent Drummer.

Did you you ever think what your ad
in the newspaper is doing for you?
When you close your store IN the evening
and go home to your family and fireside,
not thinking about your business at all
then it is that the paper is being pored
over in hundreds of homes the homes
from which your trade is drawn. And
there is your ad doing its work silently,
but surly, and if you had taken the time
to make it attractive its work will be all
the more attractive. This is repeated over
and over again, and no doubt, what
inspired some writer to call newspaper
advertising silent drummer"

IA percent, will be subject to a stamp
tax which will be assessed and collected,
the same as on adulterated butter. Also
should the facts demand such action,

Should the price Of butter be reasonable,
the writer cannot see what difference 2

FLAW In The LAW
INJUSTICE TO WOMAN
Supposed Case Loses ImpOF
tant Federal Suit

New York, February 13.-Sustain-
ing the demurrers interposed by the
defendants in the test suits instituted
by the government against the North
German Lloyd Steamship Company
and the International Marine Company
to recover passage money of two
alien women of immoral character or
dered deported Judge Lacombe filed
an opinion of unusual interest in the
United States Circuit court.
so far as the alien is concerned,
the statute as it stands amended is a
drastic one" Judge Lacombe says.
How far reaching it is may De sup
How far reaching it is may be best
understood by supposing a not i'm
possible case. An alien girl, while yet
an infant, comes to this country with
her parents None of them is within
any of the excluded classes. The IA
Their neglects to be n7furalized, che
child grows up estimable and viz
tuous.
Then just as she reaches woman
hoon both parents die after lingering
illness which wastes away their lit
tie resources. The young woman is
left to make her struggle for exist
ence as best she can. At some time
when work is scarce and poverty s
strong, she may take the easiest way
to keep body and soul together.
''All hope for her may not be lost
Institutions, state and local, and
countless agencies maintained by the
willing gifts of individuals stand ready
to help the fallen woman. Can the
alien woman avail of this help? No.
The sovereign power stretches out
its powerful arm and casts her out OF
the country in which her young life
was wrecked, to fling her into the
country whence she came so many
years before that to it she is practi-
cally an alien, possibly unable to ar
ticulate it's language, penniless and
it may be alone
IF such be the wages of sin for
alien fallen women, the price might
be thought higher than that announced
in Romans vi, 90 1t is certainely
stratling to find such a piece Of legis-
lation upon the statute books of a
Christian country"
