A National FEELING

Arizona is recalling in a way, the
alien land law which that state pass
ed a year ago in order to replace 1t
with another (which shall be more
closely following the lines of the bill
now under fire in California. There
is an evident growth of the anti-Asi-
attic feeling in all of the states OF the
West and Southwest. The Arizona
law, which was first adopted. seems
to serve every purpose of shutting
out the japanese from the land-hold-
ing privilege, but 1t is found now to
more sweeping terms of the Califor-
MIA bill have been under discussion.
II seems idle to discuss. in this con-
nection, the treaty-making power OF
obstruction, or even, in any large
sense, delay OF the progress OF such
alien land laws as are designated by
states to check the requirement OF
land by people or corporations made
UP of people of alien blood. One DIFF
ficulty in California, as we are able
to see at distance, has been the
fear, and consequent opposition. of
aliens in birth but not in blood. that
the anti-Asiatic legislation could be
made, or at least construed. to in
clude aliens eligible to citizenship as
well as those who are not. The OPP
position of Italians. Frenchmen, Ger
mans and others OF foreign birth in
California has both complicated and
delayed matters. But it has at last
become understood that the exclu-
sion is not directed against any eau.
casian people, and the California agita-
ton has served to make this under
stood in all of the states.
After this understanding progress
will be more rapid. And President
Wilson will find 1t impossible to make
any head against it by use of the
treaty-making power. Were that
power in his hands alone, there can
be no doubt that he would use 1t ef-
| fectively, for he has never made con-
cealment of his dislike for the anti
Asiatic prejudice among Americans.
But the consent of the senate being
necessary to the ratification of any
treaty, and that not by bare ma
iority. but by a two-thirds vote. the
prospect OF checkmating action by the
states is very small. When such a
demonstration Is made. II 1t is made.
II will be conclusively shown that the
anti-Asiatic prejudice in this country
is not by any means confined to the
West, Southwest and Northwest. It
will make itself felt in every section
of the country.-Globe Democrat.

Mrs. Pankhurst's Visit.

The Tribune disapproves most strongly or MIS-
Pankhurst's militant tactics in England. Ii REGARDS
her as a misguided woman whose ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
is in no wise excused by her undoubted heroism and
ability.
Americans would not tolerate her methods. we
are satisfied, however, that the Wilson admnistra-
ton bundered when it sought yesterday to prevent
her entry at this port under the moral turpltude
clause of the immigration law. The Ellis Island
authorities have shown a disposition in so man!
instances to apply that clause in an extreme ana
arbitrary manner that the Commissioner General OF
Immigration should have been on his guard against
another fasco.
The general intent of the immigration law Is to
debar alien immigrants of such records and tendon
cies as are likely TO make them charges upon the
American public giving additional work to the
courts the jails and the asyums Its primary pur-
pose was economic and it is contrary to its general
spirit to set up an inqGistion at this port into the
moral status Of casual travellers who come here for
brief periods and whose visits not likely to cause
injury annoyance
Two notable attempts of the immigration author
ties to apply too strictly the "moral turpitude
clause were recently frustrated by the federal
courts, and in a third instance the Department OF
Labor reversed itself on short notice. The moral
turpitude' clause is vague and faulty and should
be clarified before any policy of rigorous enforce
ment Is insisted upon.
Mrs Pankhurst comes to the United States not
to break our laws otherwise haraSs us, but only
to lecture and raise funds She should be allowed
TO have free long she sticks to the pur
suit the lecture platform of the elusive dollar.
Her tour here cannot do us any harm, and it may
do her world of good in the way of opening her
eyes to the hysteria of English militant sufragist
methods.

The whole woman's movement for polit-

The Reorsanized Philippine Commission

The appointment Of a Filipino majority in the
commission which practically constitutes the Senate
of the insuar Legislature follows closely upon the
promise which was made TO that effect and marks
an important modification Of the governmental sys-
TEN of our Asian possessions. The embarrassment
which this change may cause in the exercise Of re-
straint upon injudicious and hasty legislation has
already been pointed out 1t may perhaps be avoid
ed by some further remedial measure. but it is
obvious that some method of applying the veto
power in case Of need must be devised which Will
not involve the inconvenience and delay of reference
10 Washington and the odium-to the Filipinos-of
having native proposals negatived by authority
thousands of miles away and quite unknown to and
out of touch with the islands.
That the new constitution of the commission is in
trinsically vicious is not to be maintained There
are those well informed and judicious. who regard
It as a hopeful experiment in progress. Most OF
those who object to it do the ground that 1t is
premature and that the other changes which should
accompany it have not been provided for. What is
indsputable is however that the result Of the eX-
pertinent will depend upon the character If the men
appointed to the commission and upon the spirit and
purpose with which they engage in their work.
1t is not enough that the native commissioners
apportioned among the political parties Of the ISL
andS and the various sections OF the archipelago.
though that is commendable What is more essen
tial is that they shall be loyal to this government
and they shall endeavor TO execute the policy which
this government has been pursuing with great
cess for the last fifteen years. II they to be
chosen or were to act the propagandists Of some

Marriage, Motherhood and Teaching

The married man is usually better thought of by
his employers than the unmarried He is apt to be
more reliable and efficient. Why. then, do a number
of estimabe citizens apply different rule to the
married woman and scornfully demand that she 60
home and stay there?
AS matter Of fact, it is very generally believed
that In nine cases out Of ten the married woman
school teacher with children of her own. is better
fitted to understand and educate other peoples
children than is the unmarried teacher. Experience
appears to support this view. So do logic and
common sense Far from there being any argument
on the score Of efficiency against the married
teacher, the case seems strongly on her side
There remains the question Of public policy. 1t
is urged that to permit married women to teach in
our public schools undermines and corrupts the
home, preventing a woman from giving the care to
her household and family which they require But
what of a policy that delays marriage and prevents
motherhood? Surely the evil possibilities are not
less vital and dangerous in the latter case.
The truth u.s. we think that 1t is wrong and futile

Fantastic Economy.

Mr.. McCalls declaration that he would sell Rock
away Beach and Dreamand parks is the most fan
tastc utterance In the name of ECONOMY TO which
this city has been treated in political generation
1t almost destroys the notion that the Tammany
candidate is a sensible leyel-headed, though easy
going Of affairs. 1t certainly impugns any
claims he may make to accurate and uptodate
knowledge of municipal affairs, while 1t stamps him
as wholly out of touch and sympathy with the life
of the plain peepul" over whose woes Tammany al
ways sheds crocodile tears about election time.
Only a Mccall system of city economies would
argue that the ctys parks should bring revenue
to the city-in money. The return the city gets
from its parks, and particularly its seaside and
waterfront parks, is in amusement enjoyment, bet
ter health and greater happiness for its citizens
Every dollar spent In providing opportunity for de
cent innocent recreation for the hard working city
weary public saves the taxpayers many dollars in
preventing, prosecuting and Furnishing crime and IN
caring for disease and pauperism. Mr.. McCalls ex-
perence and study should have taught him that

advocacy of such economy shows him to be ig
norant utterly careless of the welfare Of the great

The Search for Romance.

1t is a sad and jaundiCed view of life announced
by two young women, graduates Of Leland Stan
ford, who, having spent three months travelling
hunt for romance have departed for Europe by
way of the West Indies and South America OH the
same quest Romance, they aver, is as dead as the
great god Pan. Yet still they will travel far and
wide, seeking it some place where the money
craze" and conventional, shallow, merciless
ciety" have not penetrated.
Unfortunately these sentimental travellers did
not define precisely their Ideas of romance" If
they search for the heart conquering matinee idol,
carames- northumberland brand, they may easily
fail to find ii in the palm-shaded carefree islands OF
the blue Caribbean the great hotels and gay
boulevards of Paris If they search for the real
romance Of this age they need not go outside OF
their own land
Here they find the romance OF the subway
and the under-river railroads. and the conquest Of
the air by man-made machines the grisy romance
of finance and political struggles more bitter than
feudal wars; the romance of the never ending war
Of science against disease and of the churches and
schools and social workers against ignorance and
unbelief and crime; the romance OF fremen and
policemen yielding their lives to those of human
beings they saw; the romance of the shopgirl
earning Sc a week and nevertheless living clean
and honest and useful life; the romance of the
struggling parents who deny themselves necessities
of life to make their childrens lot better and easier
Romance" dead forsOoth! Dead only for those who
having eyes, see not and having ears hear not.
