Congress and the White Slave Law.

The principle underlying the recent
decision OF the Supreme Court of the
United States affirming the constitu-
tionality of the white slave law seems
to have been misunderstood. What is
to be penalized is not the immoralities
connected with the traffic, but that
traffic itself 1t is the same with the
sending of obscene literature through
the mails. 1t is not the publication
that is to be punished, but the trans
portation.
1t is erroneous to argue from the
Supreme Courts decision that it en-
powers Congress to legislate on almost
any conceivable subject under the
guise of the regulations of interstate
commerce" The court has kept we'll
within the meaning of its previous in
terpretations of the commerce clause
In this instance it meant that Con-
gress, if it chose, might forbid certain
persons from being transported from
one State to another, just as it pre-
vents the entry of immigrants with in
fectious diseases: a power which is
exercised by reason of the commerce
clause invoked in the white slave law
Congress has just as complete legal
control over interstate as over for
eign commerce. BY forbidding the
importation of adulterated food, the
landing of criminals or of persons try
ing to come here to practice immoral
ity, it protects not only the country at
large, but each individual State as
we'll. Hence its interstate commerce

HASTE
ny GEORGE FITCH,
Author of cat Good Old Siwash.~

Haste is the use OF excessive speed In
getting from hither to whence.
This may mean mere distance or II
may mean other things. The uses OF
haste are as varied as the uses of saso-
line which is an extract of haste.
Haste is as free as air and is used by
everybody. though more extensively by
some than by others
Haste users are divided into two great
ella asses-those who use haste to get ahead
and those who use it to catch up.
A man may use a great deal of haste
At the wrong time and land a mile be-
hind the procession with his eyes full
Of dust, after working hard all day.
On the other hand, pinch of haste
carefully distributed. will enable man
to loaf successfully at the head OF the
crowd for months and years at time.
Haste Is a comparative term Ninety
miles an hour is loa.ing for a racing au-
tomobile. whereas two miles an hour Is
a runaway speed for a messenger boy.
We are a wasteful nation and use
much more haste than We should. Too
many men hurry themselves to death
In their efforts to get rich quick enough
to loaf after the age of forty.
We use more haste than any other
country. This Is because We started
200 years behind the rest OF the world
and had to catch up.
We caught up thirty years ago. how
ever. and have never stopped long
enough to find out what We are chasing
now.
Thanks to haste. We arS now able to
live at the rate OF mile minute hori-
zontaliy and sixteen feet second up
snd down. We are blase at fifteen. die

The Profit of Altruism.

1t remains to be seen whether the
refusal of President Wilson to stand
behind the American banking syndicate
participating in the proposed six
power" loan of SI25,ooo.ooo to China
will cause the abandonment of the en-
tire project The Presidents state
ment of his reasons for not requesting
the American syndicate to participate
in the loan is an indictment of the loan
agreement as a menace to Chinese in
dependence.
1t will be surprising if Chinese sen,
:iment, already restive under the pro-
posed administration by foreign agents
of the domestic revenues pledged TO the
service of the loan. does not utilize
President Wilson's statement as an ar
gument for abandonment of the entire
policy The American action is tinged
with the same altruism that caused
John Hay to stand against the ten
dency. of the powers toward partition
of China in 1000. The remission of
the unclaimed portion of the Boxer in
demnity during Elihu Roots service
as Secretary OF State went far to TN
do the damage to American trade
caused BY the boycott declared i'll re-
taliation for rigorous administration of
our Chinese exclusion law.
Docs such altruism pay? This ques
ton will be answered by the results
Of the policy Will American trade
with China gain as much by reason OF
this lofty policy as European and
Japanese trade will gain by the en-
hanced influence the loan will give the
creditors in the administration of
China's internal affairs?

The executive committee of the Wash

The International Custom Cutters As

Politics and District Offices.

The only limitation imposed by law
upon the President in the matter of
appointing District Commissioners from
civil life is that the men so chosen
shall have been actual residents of the
District for three years. In the Gre
alton of the District government no
provision was stated as to the political
complexion of the appointees
The attitude of Congress was, how
ever. very clearly set forth at the time
by Senator Beck of Kentucky. whose
political partisanship, it will be remcm-
bered, was of the most emphatic char
acter. Il hope the President" said
Senator Beck, will succeed in select
ing the very best men, regardless of
their politics. Maybe" he added, ''he
can find them without politics alto
gether."
This sentiment has characterized the
= action of all Presidents since 1873.
they have sought the best men for
the position of Commissioner, and the
appointees, in their turn, have never
allowed themselves to be governed
solely by political considerations. The
result has been that the District gov
ernment has been singuiarly free from
scandal and has been both efficient and
honest. 1t is sincerely to be hoped
that President Wilson will follow in
the footsteps of his predecessors.
He may appoint two Democrats, if
he so desires. but he ought not to select
them merely because they are Dem

God is near upon the land:
He is all both rest and motion;
We are only grains Of sand
Little mites upon life's billow.
May flies buzzing out the hour,
Dreams upon . ferered pillow,
Dew drops on withered flower,
Only waiting for tomorrow
That has never come To man.
Here we live in JOY and sorrow.
Chasing phantoms a. we can,
Chasing pleasure, chasing greatness
Over tangled walks and wxya,
But We learn the bitter lateness
Just before we find our graves.
Hope is nigh with fairy fingers,
Tracing sunbeams on the way;
Magic memory ever fingers,
Busy with the bgRone day;
Life and death are but the portals
To realm Of endless rest.
