The Sample Ballot.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN-Sir. Some
one In Albany has either made a gross
blunder or else is trying 20 play po-
litical trick OF very petty and dirty
kind, on the sample ballots" issued by
the Secretary OF State and given out to-
day in four places the words Progress
slve'' and Socialist" are bracketed in
such manner as to convey the impress
sion that the, Progressive and Socialist
parties have made fusion nominations for
the offices of Governor, L.ieutenant-Cov-
ernor. Secretary OF State and Comptroller.
As a matter of fact these parties have
not fused on a single nomination in the
whole State. So far as the Socialist party
is concerned fusion Is absolutely pro-
hibited by its bylaws.
In the interest OF fair play am sure
you will help 10 call public attention 10
this error on the sample ballots, which
may otherwise cause many Progressive
and Socialist voters 90 spoil their ballots

War Immigration

Chairman BURNETT of the House
Committee on immigration, In declar-
ing his opposition to the proposal that
the operation OF the immigration laws
be suspended to permit the entry TO this
country of widows and orphans or SOL
diers slain In the European war. brought
out one important circumstance often
overlooked. Mr.. BURNETT said:
AS matter OF fact conditions are 50
different in their own countries that 1t will
be far easier to provide for them there
than here. In fact a widowed mother will
be able to provide for her orphaned chill
dren there In some way. while here they
would become an immediate charge on
the public"
II should be recognized that In many
cases, perhaps a ma Jority OF cases, the
law which will prevent the entrance
into this country of persons liable to
become public charges actually works
to their benefit IN saving them from a
condition more distressing than that In
which they lived at home. The Gus
toms Of this country would be new and
strange to the immigrants, the support
and aid of lifelong associations would
be lost and new trials and difficulties
would be added % the burden they
brought here.
II is enlightened philanthropy as
well as n national obligation TO insist
that there should be no relaxation of
present restrictions on immigration on
account Of the distress In Europa
