Willie, darling, you mustn't swing on

There! What did mother tell you?
You swung on the weights and now
you've pulled the whole clock down

EVILS OF IMMIGRATION
A Regret That Episcopal Diocese Con-
vention Failed to Act Thereupon.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Permit me through your columns
to express my surprise and regret at the
decision Of the Episcopal diocese conven-
ton on November 10, after an hours de-
bate, to take no action on the resolution
introduced by the Rev. j. II. Royce as to
restriction of immigration. and for the
reason advanced by the chairman of the
social service commission that the con-
vention was not equipped to obtain in
formation that would lead TO wise ac-
ton" Now, / know the chairman and
the desire of his commission to aid in the
solving of some OF our city's worst prob
lens, and therefore ! see every reason
been appointed to investigate and report
on this most important subject.
see no reason why any patriotic
churchman should not approve OF the
Rev. Mr.. Royce's declaration that 'im-
migration has reached stage which con-
stitutes a menace to the civic ideals and
social well-being Of the United States Of
America" and nat it Ought to be
checked and regulated"
surely, II is not so much the tarlH
question that troubles the American wage
Garner as the ever present competition Of
alien incomers vino are now displacing
him in factory and mine. as. for instance,
in those tariff protected mills in Law
renee, Mass, and Bethlehem, Penn. Last
year $4,000 came to our shores who could
neither read nor write in any language,
and such human material, according TO
the immigration commission, decreases
the economic opportunity afforded to tho
citizen dependent upon employment for
his mental. material and moral develop
ment.'
Churches should assist our official and
unofficial civic and human betterment
societies to get at and remedy some Of
the fundamental causes of crime and
poverty in New York, one OF which is a
not sufficiently restricted immigration.

President Immigration Restriction League

NOT AN ASS.

1t is time for the public TO give up
the habit Of thinking "he is guilty, but
of course he will get off," which was
responsible for whatever surprise was
felt at Hyde's conviction. That feeling
was justified at the time when District
Attorney Whitman's predecessor was
issuing statements to the effect that 1t
was of no use even to procure the in
dictment of men for the misdeeds or
high finance.
But look at the list Of convictions
that the present District Attorney has
obtained-Robin, Reichmann, Cum
Minis and finally Hyde, the whole
group who were juggling with shaky
financial institutions kept from failure
by the misuse Of the city's funds. Not
one Of these men has been'able to slip
through the net Of the law. They had
the best Of counsel, money and infu-
ence. They were the very type OF men
who, as the public has always been
assured, were hard to convict.
And add to them Becker and his four
paid murderers. These men really be-
lieved they could 60 out on Broadway
and openly shoot down an enemy
They carried to its logical limits the
cynical view that the law was an ass.
But the law wasn't an ass. 1t was
true merely that some men in whose
hands rested the duty of upho!ding
and enforcing it had been making an
ass Of il

JOKING THE sCOTsMEN.

Mayor Gaynor told the st. Andrew
Society the other night that he had dis
covered, contrary to his old notion
that a Scotsman could take joke.
Accordingly he made one. 1t was that
"the vulgar and the underworld were
not wholly satisfied with his admin
istration.
II It wasn't a joke. then certainly the
underworld Is most unreasonable. IN
der the convenient cloak Of personal
liberty 1t has recently enjoyed a de-
gree of freedom unexampled for many
years. 1t has no right 10 blame the
Mayor for the sentences OF death I'M
posed on one Of its police protectors
and four Of its gangmen, or for the
conviction for bribery OF one OF the
close friends Of the racetrack gambling
interest. A puritanical District Attor-
new inflicted those hardships upon
them. The Mayor Is entitled to their
grateful remembrance for standing by
Becker as long as he could, and his 20
lice Department went no faster imam
was actually necessary in apprehend-
ing his instruments. The underworld
is doubtless far from satisfied with the
situation. but the Mayor IN not TO
blame. and we cannot believe that he
was seriously under the impression
that the underworld blamed him. IL
seems clear that the Mayors remark
was joke.
1t was a rather grim joke, but Scots
men are grim folk and the Mayor
humor is often sardonic. When a nj
tle lieutenant commits murder ne
goes Oh just the same; likewise
when a little Chamberlain" commits
bribery. The philosophy which can
thus turn off all revelations ana all
scandals is perhaps a happy posses
sion. If the Scotsmen wondered ana
did not understand his brand OF humor
they may have thought the trouble
was with their own proyerbial impene-
trability Of skull. If so, that was un-
due modesty on their part.

munities shall have water at price
which will enable them to distribute
and deliver 1t to their consumers at a
cost no greater than that which New
York consumers have to bear. That
would not. impose loss upon New
York, save as it prevented it from ex-
acting extraordinary and unearned
profits from its sales of water In West
chester. 1t would simply be requiring
it to sell water at the reservoir for
what it was properly worth there, in
stead Of for what 1t would be worth il
it were brought on down to the city
and distributed to private houses.
1t should be added that it will be to
this city's interest to deal thus equl-
tably, if not generously, with its north
ern suburbs, for in large degree its
interests and theirs are inseparable. It
will be OF great value to this city to
have those places populous, prosperous,
beautiful and sanitary, and a sine quo
non of such conditions is an abundant
and inexpensive supply Of pure water.
There are those who have urged that
a body similar to the Metropolitan
Parks Commission Of Boston should
have control over certain features of
both urban and suburban administra-
ton. If not, at least city and suburbs
should practically recognize and act
upon their strong mutually Of inter
ests.

COCAINE ON THE STREETS.

Unless the authorities become active
in suppressing the present cocaine
traffic this city will soon, have reason
to feel the same anxiety over its
spread that is felt in Paris, where dis
patches represent the insane asylums
as being filed with users Of the drug.
1t will astonish most readers of The
Tribune to learn from its news col
umns to-day that cocaine is now sold
openly on the streets Of this city IN
der the very eyes Of the police. Deal
ers in the drug have regular stands in
the Tenderloin and in some other parts
Of the city, where its victims procure
their supply. With the aid Of for
mer user Of the drug a reporter Of The
Tribune had no difficulty In obtaining
1t from ten different street merchants
in a small section of the city.
The strict regulations regarding the
sale Of cocaine by druggists are prob
ably responsible for its sale on the
streets. But the suppression Of the
traffic there should be easier than the
prevention Of illicit sales in drug
stores. The character Of the trade
which the street dealers in cocaine do
should so strongly arouse the suspi-
cion Of the policemen on beat that it
is difficult to believe that the traffic is
carried on without police protection
The cocaine victims are easily recog-
nizable from their pallor, shakiness
and other symptoms Of nervous de-
rangement. To see a man regularly
taking certain place in the street
and being visited constantly by these
enfeebled wretches is enough to ap-
prise any policeman or police detective
on the lookout for this criminal traffic
Of what is going on. The law makes
the work Of the police easy. 1t is I'M
lawful not only to sell cocaine, except
on a physicians prescription, but also
to have 1t in ones possession without
such a prescription. Yet these street
vendors not only sell it to purchasers
without prescriptions, but in many
cases carry their stock Of the poison
on their own persons, while others
have it in an areaway or a hallway
near where they do business.
The ease with which cocaine may be
bought is of grave public concern. be-
cause the drug is the most noxious of
all those to the use Of which men may
become addicted. Its destructive eff
feet upon the nervous system is vastly
greater than that Of morphine or the
other stimulants or narcotics. More
over, the simplicity Of its use has
caused it largely to supersede all the
others, except opium In the form in
which 1t is smoked, and that is also
sold by the same street vendors. Co
caine is now generally snuffed in the
form Of a powder or of fine crystals,
so that no expensive or inconvenient
apparatus is required for its use. The
habit is quickly contracted and few
ever escape from its thraldom. 1t
leads to almost certain destruction.
The Tribune presents the facts about
this terrible traffic. 1t is for the city
authorities to suppress that traffic.
