nation. the health of its men and its
women and its children, as we'll as
their rights in the struggle for ex-
istence. This is no sentimental duty
The firm basis of government Is jus
tice, not pity. These are matters of
justice. There can be no equality or
opportunity, the first essential of
justice in the body Of politics, IL
men and women and children be not
shielded In their lives, their very vi
tally, from the consequences of
great industrial and social processes
which they cannot alter control. or
singly cope with. Society must see
TO It that 1t does not itself crush or
weaken or damage its own constit-
uent parts. The first duty of law
is to keep sound the society 1t serves.
Sanitary laws, pure food laws
and laws determining conditions of
labor which individuals are powerless
to determine for themselves are init
mate parts of the very business of
justice and legal efficiency.
These are some of the. things we
ought to do. and not leave the others
undone. the fashioned. never
to- be-neglected. fundamental safe
guarding of property and of in
divtdual right. This is the high en-
terprise of the new day: 10 lift every
thing that concerns our life as n
nation to the light that shines from
tho hearthflre of every mans con-
science and vision of the right. 1t
is inconceivable that we should do
this as partisans; 1t is inconceivable
we should do it in ignorance of the
facts as they are or in blind
haste. We shall restore not destroy.
We shall deal with our economic sys-
tenn as 1t is and rs 1t may be modified,
not as 1T might be II we had clean
sheet of paper to write upon; and step
by step we shall make II what 1t
should be. in the spirit of those who
question their own wisdom and seek
counsel and knowledge, not shallow
dissatisfaction or the excitement OF
excursions whittier they cannot tell.
Justice, and only justice, shall always
be our motto.
And yet Il will be no cool process
of mere science. The nation has been
deeply stirred, stirred by Il solemn
passion stirred by the knowledge OF
wrong, OF ideals lost. OF government
too often debauched and made an
instrument of evil. The feelings with
which we face this new age OF right
and opportunity sweep across our
heart-strings like some air out OF
Gods own presence. where justice
and mercy are reconciled and the
Judge and the brother are one. We
KNOW our task TO De no mere TASK OF
politics but a task which shall search
us through and through whether we
be able to understand our time and
the need of our people, whether we
be indeed their spokesman and in
terpreters, whether we have the pure
heart to comprehend and the recti-
fed will to choose our high course
Of action.
This is not day of triumph: 1t is
u n t-1%
not the forces of party, but the forces
Of humanity. Mems hearts wait upon
us; mems lives hang in the balance
mems hopes call upon us TO say
what we will do. Who shall live up
to the great trust? Who dares fail
to try? I summon all honest men,
all patriotic, all forward-looking men
to my side. God helping me, l will
not fail them, II they will but counsel
and sustain me!

Washington, Oct 20 - Americas s doors were opened today to Mrs Elm incline Panl1hurst, and during the few weeks covered by her lecture engage ments the British militant suffragist leader is free to go where she will in the United States. An order releasing the much discussed visitor from de- tention at Ellis Island, New York, and revol1tng the deportation order of the special inquiry board was issued today after President Wilson had conferred with Secretary Wilson of the depart ment of labor and a formal hearing before Immigration Commissioner Caminetti on Mrs. Pankhurst'S appeal had been concluded
 Doubt Regarding Her Acts.
 Secretary Wilson announced that he and the president had agreed that 4Mrs. Pankhurst should be admitted con her own recogniZance," with the understanding that she should depart when she had fulfilled her lecture en- agreements. Both the president and the secretary agreed with Commis- sioner Caminetti in the opinion >6hat there was an element of doubt as to whether the acts for which Mrs. Plank hurst has been convicted in England constituted moral turpitude or were political in character
 Commissioner Caminetti tonight is sued a formal statement outlining the reasons for his decision in the case.
 English Government Lenient.
 There is nothing in the record or before me-" said the statement "tO indicate that the British government desires that Mrs. Pankhurst shoyXd be returned to England; and the' evil dence of record indicates that while she was placed under a sentence of three years penal servitude, she has served only a small part of the sen tence, and apparently no effort has been made to compel her to serve the balance;~ but as a matter of fact marked ~1eniency has been shown tow ards militants by the English authori- ties. Shall this government deny even temporary asylum when Aby so doing less consideration would~ be shown Mrs Pankhurst than England has dis played?
 Best Disposition of Matter.
 Mrs. Pankhurst states. and counsel throughout the case have asserted, that she is coming here only for a short visit for the specific purpose of fulfilling engagements to deliver lec- tures; that all that is desired is that she may be allowed to carry out these engagements.
 Upon carefully considering the en- tire record and all of the circum- stances of the case, I conclude that the best disposition to make of-the mat ter will be to accept the assurances of all parties concerned and admit Mrs Panlxhurst on her own reCognizance, to depart from the country at the termination of her engagements, and so recommend"
 Has $2,ooo With Her.

BOAT cAPSIZED
 DURING A SQUALL.
Ten Year-OId Boy Drowned Despite
 Efforts of His Father.

New Haven, Conn. Oct. 20.-The high wind storm that swept the city late this afternoon was responsible for the loss of one life and did damage to small craft in the harbor. Russell B. Young, aged 10 with his father, G. D. Young, civil engineer, were rowing to Kelsey's Island. off the east shore, when the blow struck them. Their boat was capsized and both were precipitat- ed into the water. The heavy sea swept them apart, but the father made a heroic effort to save his son. He grasped him by the head once, but a giant wave swept the boy from his grasp. He did not reappear, and after a time the grief stricken father swan ashore. He was exhausted, and had a narrow escape from meeting watery grave himself.
 Two srnals543yzlchts anchored at Morris Cove were Iiown from their moorings and had thfir sides stove in. Several motor boats were washed up on the shore by the high sea. The velocity of the wind was about forty miles an hour
 One of the Starin line steamers ran aground during the blow, but later was fioated and continued on her voyage to New York. It is not believed the boat was damaged.
