THE CASTRO DECISION.

The decision Of the United States

Castro is far more important in its
legal than in its personal bearings. eX-

What is Of commanding importance
Is the courts Interpretation of the i'm
migration law aud its definition Of The
powers Of the administrative autbori-
ties II has been held by the Depart
mcnt Of Commerce and Labor that as
an Immigrant was seeking the favor
OF admission II was incumbent upon
him 10 prove his fitness 10 receive that
favor. This the court contradicts. 1t
holds Instead that the ordinary rule Of
Jurisprudence obtains, under which a
man is assumed 10 be innocent or fit
10 enter the country until he Is proved
guilty-or unfit 10 enter: and that
therefore the burden Of proof rests
with the immigration authorities and
lot with Mr.. Castro. II has also been
held by The department that Mr.. Cas-
trD's refusal to answer a question as
10 bis guilt or innocence Of the charge
Of murder was practically tantamOunt

fore sufficient cause for excluding him
This also the court denies, holding thai
the only confession on which man
may be excluded Is one which is volun-
tarily made and is explicit IA terms.
As for the telegraphic reports which
the state Department received from
Caracas. declaring that Mr.. Castro was
implicated IN the killing Of General
Paroles. the court dismisses them as
not valid proof OF guilt.
II is obvious that this decision, il il
stands against the appeal which is
probably TO be made against il. will

A DEFECTIVE PLAN.

state Superintendent Emmets letter
10 the Governor exposes number OF
defects fin the Jackson bill
creating q state system for the insllr-
ancc Of Workmen against injuries. If
This bill is adopted only workmen en-
uloyed i'll certain specified trades deslg-
mated as hazardous Will receive COM
DenSation for their injuries. Three
fourthS Of all the workingmen Of the
state will be without the benefit Of a
compensation system. Mr.. Emmett
makes the point also that state Sys-
tenn will not afford sure protection
even 10 the classes for whom il is in
tended 10 provide compensation III case
Of injury. The state does not glaran-
tee the fund. If great catastrophe
occurred it is likely that the fund
would not be large enough 20 meet the
obligations TO the injured. This has al
ready happened TO The compensation
fund OF the state Of Washington. In
view Of these two defects. TO mention
no others. il is plain that the NUT
taugh-Jaclison bill Is totally inadequate.
The chief argument which the labor
unioniSts who are advocating IFS pas
sage offer for q state monopoly or the
insurance Of workmen against injuries
Is the cost Of insurance through the
casualty companies. OF the sums PAID
for insurance IL is said that expenses

ORANGE GRADE CROSSINGS.

The citizens OF the Oranges, in New
Jersey. are abundantly justified in pro
testing publicly and agitating against
the indefinite continuance Of the srad5
crossing nuisance, which, as they truly
say. has for years caused an appalling
loss of life. There are. we imagine,
few other communities in the world
where comparable conditions prevail.
If there were many, the fact would
be gravely discreditablc TO all who
were responsible for ii.
This is the situation: The three com
munities Of East Orange. Orange and

ton Of more than seventy-five thou

MADERo INDICTS MEXICO.

President Taft makes plain 10 Pres
ident Madero two things which inc
latter will do we'll to understand at
their full value. One is that this coun-
try does not desire or intend war
with Mexico. and is performing no acts
Of war. but merely Of reasonable ana
legitimate preCaution. The other Is
that the present state of affairs III
Mexico ia profoundly disappointing ana
unsatisfactory 30 this country and ON
nous for Mexico itself. and that the
paramount duty OF the hour is radical
" to relieve and reform that situation
TO this criticism and exhortanoh
concerning Mexican affairs Mr.. Ma
, dero can take no exception. for he him
self is the author of the grayest IN
dlctment of his own country that has
been made in all this time Of Trouble.
Speaking on Saturday 10 the Tribune
correspondent in denial Of his reported
resignation and denOuncin@ the report
and the very idea Of resignation rs
nonsense. he protested that such acuon
on his part would be useless ana would
not improve conditions. since reVoih-
tons would continue just the same.
What I have gone through, he said,
within the last year and half would
be the experience Of any one who
might succeed me.
What has he gone through in the
wear and 4 half: Practically incesSant
disorder and attempts at revolution.
We cannot recall day in all that time
when there has not been some revolu-
iionarv leader IN the field with bands
eff followers. aiming to drive Nr. Ma
dcro from the Presidency. just as he
drove Porfirio DiaZ. The words Of the
President which We have quoted mean,
then. that Mexico has fallen into q
chronic state of revolt against all con-
~titutiOnal government. That opinion, or
that apprehension. has been expressed
I'm this country: but 1t is a more seri-
ouS matter 10 have it publicly pro
claimed rs g matter OF course by the
President Of Mexico himself and by 4
President who came into power with
tiambOyant proclamation that he was
the peoples desire and that his ac-
cession would Danish discomfort and
bring in the golden age OF loyal tran
quilllty.
IT Is quite true that there was almost
incessant disorder in Mexico from the
time of the revolution against Joseph
BOnaparte down 10 that Of the second
election of Porfirio Diaz-that is. from
1910 10 1SS4-aud the habits Of three
quarters Of century are not easily
10 be shaken off. In ali that era there
vas no more disorderly time than the
years Of Benito JuareZs administTa-
ton. But r. was hoped that the TWEEN
ty-fve years of peace, even though il
educated the people 10 the advantages
of such o condition. They surely Ough;
10 have done so Mexico made more
progress and rose further in the esteem
OF the world I'm those twenty-five years
than in the seventy-fye preceding
them. But II it is not so, IF after that
lesson in the blessings OF peace and
constitutionalism the Mexican people
turn back TO the semi-anarchic state OF
former years. then IS the problem dis
couraging almost TO hopelessness. Mir.
Madero's Indictment IS therefore mos,
unwelcome, and there will be many
persistent hopes that it NAV not prove
