each alien immigrant landed on our
shores, which must be paid by the YES
sci bringing him. thus adding to the
cost of the passage. The provision of
bringing any persons under contract
for employment is supplemented by
making It unlawful to Induce or assist
immigration by advertisement or print
ed representations of opportunities for
employment circulated in foreign coun-
tries" There is also provision for
placing United States inspectors and
surgeons on board vessels bringing
immigrants, to observe and examine
them, with heavy fines upon masters
and owners who refuse them an oppor-
tunity for performing their duties.
Clearance papers also may be denied
to vessels of such offenders. Ships
officers are required to file information
upon a variety of points, regarding
immigrants brought over before the
sailing of their vessels for the United
States, with penalties for inaccuracy
or misinformation, and there may also
be mental, moral, and physical ex-
animation on the other side by Amer
lean consuls or other government Of
fcers to see whether intending immi-
grants are fit to come to our "free
country and the asylum of the op-
pressed of other lands"
No fault can be found of measures
to prevent the promiscuous landing
here of the really unfit, the physically
and mentally defective, and those liable
to become a public charge, but all that
can be adequately provided for by ex-
animation on arrival as well as power
to compel the return of those who do
not fulfill requirements The present
law seems to be sufficient for the pur-
pose, or can be made So But the pur-
pose seems to discourage. by an ar
bitrary exercise of authority the COM
ing of immigrants whom consuls and
inspectors abroad, as we'll as subordi-
nate officials here, may declare to be
undesirable
The scheme will obviously be ex-
pensive, and is calculated to cause fric-
lion with foreign governments.

Salt is a season. II is not as pleasant
a season as summer, but 1t is a gooo
deal more useful than winter.
Salt is the most universal habit In the
world. Even the animals are slaves TO
IL. An animal which would scorn whis-
XIV would travel a hundred miles to lick
a chunk of rock salt. If the greatest
cook in the world were to prepare BAN
ouet of nightingales' tongues and other
extrsvagances and were to forget to add
a nickePs worth of salt to the slO,OOo
worth of food, the guests would turn
away sadly and order ham sandwiches
at the nearest lunch counter.
Kerosene and coal are considerably
necessary, but II any wicked trust mag
nate were to corner the salt supply OF

Salt is very plentiful. There are
mountains of it in Kansas and under
ground lakes of 1t in Louisiana. Michi-
gan and elsewhere. There are also
several trillion tons of It in the ocean.
Nobody knows who sailed the oceans,
but the guifey man not only spoiled an
enormous quantity of drinking water but
wasted enough salt to build a mountain
range. The idea of wasting all these
materials to produce water which is good
for nothing but bathing does not appeal
to the modern eOnservationist
Salt is also great preservative. Meat

Will a Convention Be Called?

1t will be the work of the executive
committee, when it assemblies, to deter
mine whether the National Commit
tee shall be called together for the
purpose of ordering a national con-
vention.
1t may be said that there is general
opinion that nothing is to be gained
by holding convention this year. The
disposition is to wait until the effect
of the new tariff law is apparent IF
the results are beneficial, the Republic
ans might just as well resign them
selves to further period of exile If
distress follows. a national conven-
ton might be held next summer upon
the eve of the Congressional campaign,
when the Democratic tariff law could
be vigorously denounced and an in
centive given to Republicans to unite
for the approaching contest. A con-
vention this year would really have
no excuse for being. 1t could have
little or nothing to discuss except the
question of Southern representation.
1t may be that the meeting of the
executive committee will have consid-
cradle interest. There is a persistent
rumor in Republican circles that
Chairman Hilles and Secretary Rey-
nolds will tender their designations,
and thus open the way for reorgani-
zation of the committee. II is known
that Mr. Hilles, since leaving the
White House, has had little time to
devote to political affairs. His partner
in the liability insurance agency with
which he is associated in New York
has gone to Europe and Mr.. Hilles
cannot afford to neglect business for
politics.
No names have been suggested for
the Craftsmanship in the event of Mr..
Hilles' resignation, but the idea is to
select some one of known progressive
tendencies.

The Opportunity for Bryan.

With President Wilson not a cam
didate for reelection, Mr.. Bryan looms
up as the next Presidential nominee OF
the Democratic party.
Mr.. Bryan believes that in the pre-
vious campaigns in which he was a
candidate no Democrat could have been
elected, just as last year any Demo
Graf would have been victorious. He
is still in the prime of life, capable
of an enormous amount of work, and
a shrewd and capable organizer. Dur
ing the next four years, should he de-
sire to remain in the Cabinet for. that
length of time, he will occupy large
place in the public eye. He has still
a tremendous following in the rank
and file of his party. If Presidential
candidates are selected by popular vote,
he can out-distance any man who may
run against him. He has the widest
acquaintance of any one in public life
today, and can utilize this acquaintance
to great advantage.
Mr.. Bryan hopes and believes that
the tariff policies of his party will help
the nation, but it is far more likely,
politician as he is, that he counts upon
the inability of the Republicans to get
together. He has had some expert
ence in his own party as to the sad
effect of serious division.
All the talk in the political world

Thoroughly Qualified.

A family Of four women bought an
automobile. In their search for a chauf-
feur they were very hard to suit At last
a man applied whose qualifications could
not be gainsaid. Before demonstrating
his ability to manage the machine, he
said:
II used to be a window dresser, you
know, in a big dry goods store"
Indeed said the eldest daughter.
And may I ask how that helped you
to qualify for this position?"
''How?" he exclaimed. why. great
Scott! didn't learn all about draping
figures in artistic style, and can't ! pile
the robes and furs around you ladies
till you will look like regular fashion
plates?''
1t was fortunate for the women that,
in addition to that accomplishment, the
young man was also a competent chaur-
feur, for he got the Job without further
questioning.

Reply to Mr.. Marshall by Inference.

Although Surrogate (Probate Judge)
Fowler, of New York, in deciding a
will case, made no mention of the Vice
Presidents recent speech that "the
right to inherit and the right to devise
are neither inherent nor constitutional,
but simply privileges given by State
TO its citizens" he compressed into
brief space a great deal Of information
about testamentary rights. 1t is posi-
Bile that the venerable New York Judge
knows good deal more about this sub
ject than does Mr.. Marshall.
For the benefit of those of our
readers, who, perhaps, still believe in
the radical doctrine and drastic meas
ures threatened by the Vice President.
We quote the salient points of the sur
rogates opinion:
The question. whether inheritance is
an inherent right or grant from pub
lie society, has been already considered
by such great jurists as Theophilus,
Cicero, Grotius, Vinnius, Cojas, Puffen-
dorf, Bynekerschoek, Leibnitz, Doneau,
Lord Mansfield. Montesquieu, Merlin,
Toullier, Proudhon, and other equally
great jurists and philosophers of all
times and places, and the best thought of
the world at the present time is gen.
orally conceded to be expressed by the
conclusion that the right to dispose of
property after death is a natural and
inherent right of mankind which can
not be taken away by the state. 1t
is said by one of the greatest of the
worlds jurists, Troplong, that no coun-
try is entitled to be regarded as free
where right to dispose of property by
will does not exist In France, the very
question was hundred years since
pressing political question, and the lit
erature of the discussion is exhaustive,
engrossing, and competent. II was SOL
emily determined in France in favor
of the natural right of an owner to dis
pose of property by will 1t was in
point of fact held to be independent of
the state. By the Italian jurists prop
the German jurist Carols states that
the modern effort to restrict inheritance
by will endangers property and the very
civilization attained by means of the
law of inheritance.
This controverts unequivocally Mr.
Marshalrs assertions. If authority
amounts to anything in such matters,
the Vice President is wrong Indeed,
his impact with the group of eminent
authorities cited by the surrogate is
rather damaging to Mr.. Marshall's rep
utation as, lawyer. But there is one
thing wherein he is not far from be-
ing right, and that is not as to the
origin of the right of making a will, |
but as to the possibility that, if he
goes on talking in this way, the very
he predicts may be
brought on.

Overman Bill Too One-sided.

The new bill for the restriction of
immigration, which has been introduced
by Senator Overman of North Caro-
lima, is more drastic than that adopted
by the last Congress, vetoed by Presi-
dent Taft, but passed over the veto
by the Senate, barely escaping final en-
actment by the House The strongest
objection urged at that time was the
application of the literacy test, but the
Overman bill goes still farther.

that he was laid up in the hospital.

hard luck.

my start in hospital"
His friends thought he was cracking a
Joke and let IL go at that, but he was not.
When he was q youngster. over in his
native Pennsylvania, Conry was obliged to
leave school even before he had mastered
the alphabet. He was obliged to toll ten
or twelve hours a day In a coal mine,
with little prospect Of anything better.
One day he fell and broke his leg ana
was taken to a public ward In a hospital
He and the man in the adjoining cot
became friends. The man was astonished
to ind that Conry. though sixteen years
old, had never learned to read. He sent
for books and taught the boy. starting In
with the alphabet. During those few
weeks in the hospital. Conry learned more
than he had in all the sixteen years of
his life. When he was able to leave the
hospital. his friend helped him to get a
job that would enable him to go to
school nights. Three years later he was
teaching school himself. Then he put
himself through law school
A short time later we find Conry as
sistant corporation for the city Of New
York. And then he bobbed up and beat
the silver-tongued Bourke Cochran for
Congress. All Of which. for a young chap
who hadn't learned the alphabet at six
teen, comprises first rate Roadway.

Manassas Jubilee of
Peace,

To the Editor-ln an editorial on the
Gettysburg reunion. Apri 5. you say:
The participants at the reunion will
present a sight that the world never
has looked upon before. for there is no
record OF any civil war, which shows
that those who were facing each other
in a death grip ever met in common fell
lowship fifty years later. all citizens of
a country united by ties stronger than
ever before"
think you are mistaken. TIE first
witness / call to establish my PROPOSE
ton is The Washington Herald of July
q. 1911, which says in its first column
on its first page, in describing the Ma
nassas National Jubilee of Peace:
AT high noon the two armies of Con-
federate and Union soldiers will form in
battle array. and at a given signal will
march up Henry Hill toward one an
other. When the two lines meet. the
veterans will halt and each old soldier
will extend mis- hand and clasp that or
the man facing him. This ceremony is
unique and will be the most impressive
one of the day"
The Herald of July % describes how
magnificently the programme was car
ried out. including the presence of the
President. the Governor, the National
ana state troops and over 900 veterans
of the blue and the gray.
My next authority is the latest school
history Of the United States, published
in 1912. by Houghton, Miffiin Company.
Prof. Thwaites, Of Wisconsin. and Prof
Kendall, of New Jersey On page 34y
is published a full page illustration of
the Misunderstanding in front OF the Henry
House. and says:
This occasion was probably the only
instance in history where survivors OF
both sides in battle met and exchanged
friendly greetings on the same field fifty
years after the day of actual combat"
The Manassas Jubilee was the begin
ming of an era of jubilation of which
Gettysburg will no doubt be the cuImi-
nation.
Both may be well followed by an Ap-
pomattox Jubilee in 1915: this making a
three-fold celebration of the Mosaic idea.
