British Opinion of American Morals

British Opinion of American Morals
Westminster London Dispatch: The
detention of Miss Marie Lloyd at Ellis
island by the United States immi-
grafton officials, with the consequent
discharge of her private affairs, is
another case illustrating the Ameri-
can tendency to try to make people
moral by legislative act. The history
of the United States from the days of
the Puritan colonists right down to
the present time is full of similar ex-
periments, and it is the historians
melancholy task to record that the
more drastic the attempt, the more
disastrous the failure. Nor is the
American nation ever likely to be
made one whit better by excluding
men and women who, though not leg
ally married to one another, pretend
that they are.
Here in this country we cannot help
feeling that the American authorities
have been distinctly unfair to Miss
Marie Lloyd. We know quite well that
eloping couples, that men and women
whose relations are not sanctioned by
society, in the great majority of cases
choose America as their country of
refuge; and we know that cases of ex-
clusion by immigration officials are
very rare. Why then should Miss
Marie Lloyd have been singled out I?
The answer, we fear, is either that
some corrupt influence has been at
work or else that the officials were in
spired by that love of creating a SEN
sation and posing in the limelight
which runs through the American ma
ton. That there was any genuine mo-
tive behind the action of the authori-
ties is the last thing anyone could be-
lieve.
Such an exposure of woman's pri-
vate life is painful to us all. In this
country we do not believe in direct-
ing everlasting attention to our hu-

SO BUSHELS TO THE ACRE

Several threshing machines are al
work in the vicinity of Abilene and
while few fields have been completed
the yields are showing remarkably
big, much bigger, as a rule, than
expected. s. B. Newland, who lives
southwest of town, threshed a field
of 76 acres, in which the yield was
36 bushels to the acre by actual
count. South OF the river, near
Acme, the yield will be 25 bushels
an acre. All along the river valley
the wheat is remarkably good,
Yielding 40 bushels in some places,
and never less than 25.
The mills and elevators are re-
ceiving considerable wheat. 1t ranges
from So to 90 pounds to the bushel,

NO MORE FEES FOR
COUNTY EMPD0YEEs

Those of the county officers who
have not yet prepared their fee lists
are working on them. The new fee
and salary law passed at the last
session goes into effect today and in
every office in a conspicuous place
list Of the fees charged for var
ious services must be posted so that
clients may know the officials are
not "gouging" them.
Another change that is brought
about through this law is the plac-
ing of all county positions on a sal
ary basis and eliminating the fee,
as far as the official personally is
concerned. After today each coun-
ty official will draw his regular pay
check while each one must turn in
all the fees he receives.

Brown contends that with the

valueless, since Ihe is unable to
properly transport his machinery,
traction engines and threshing ma
chimes, and farmers are unable to
bring machinery to him for repairs.
The incident in which the petition

violence occurred at the intersection
of Elm and Third streets this week.
Engle insisted that Brown plank the
road. After conference with his at
torney Brown did this under pro-

would have been arrested forcibly

Many Of the tourists had all kinds
OF trouble In their run on account
of irrigating dMches and muddy

Abilene Sued by
Traction Engine Owner

Asking that the city be restrained
from enforcing the ordinance pro-
hibiting the transportation Of ma
chinery and heavy engines across the
paving and asking for thousand
dollars to make good the damage
done to his business since the Or
dinance was passed, Oscar Brown
through his attorney, David Richie
of Salina, today filed a suit against
the city of Abilene. Commissioners
Nichols, Johntz and Schreiner and
Marshall Engle are named as de-
PENDANTS.
The petition AYERS that the Ordin-
ance was passed without authority,
and is unreasone BILE and invalid, and
that the purpose of its passage was
to oppress Brown, and do injury
to his business. The statement is
made that the mayor instructed
Marshal Engle to enforce the ordin-
ance against him, which Engle did,
"force and violence"
Brown claims that he did bust
ness worth 5000 a week at his ma
