THE RIGHT TO ABOR.

Either we ought to keep foreign
ers out Of the country, or we should
permit them to work after they get
here. And. II We admit them, there
seems to be no good reason why we
should not permit them to labor at
any occupations for which they arc
qualified. We do not do this in all
cases. : In Philadelphia, according to
q published report. an alien cannot
be a peddler: in Idaho he cannot be
a teacher. In Michigan he cannot be
q barber. In New York he cannot bs
employed on municipal or state work.
Other states have other laws restrict
ing the right of the alien resident to
work.
One effect of all this In to crowd
with aliens the occupations whore
there are nc restrictions. Most i'm
migrants must work to live. If we
have all the people We need it Is COM
petent for IFS TO refuse to admit any
more. IF too many Of the undesirab BILE
classes are coming we are at liberty
to impose restrictions which will ex-'
clude these undesirables. But, when
men n women have come to this
country. have been admitted as prop
Eer persons to become residents, It
seems like a one-sided piece of bust
ness to debar them from earning
their living in any honorable manner
for which they are fitted.

uation Is really u serious one Take
the case of the transient laborer. He
is unknown and without funds. 1t is
quite possible for him at any time to
be brought into such a position,
through no fault of his own, in which
he is suspected. with apparent good
reason, Of the commission of a grave
crime. He is arrested, and the case
against him looks black. He Is held
for trial before the district court. He
has no acquaintance In the commu-
nifty. possibly no close friends any
where, and he is unable to give bonds
for his appearance. He is committed
to jail for safe keeping. No other
way is open. Court may not be in
session for a long time, and he must
wait in Jail. deprived of the oppor-
tunity to earn the money which he
has a right to expect to earn. and
possibly with a family elsewhere de-
pendent on his earning. Finally he
is tried and acquitted. He is given
his liberty, an innocent man. But
months which should have beef pro-
ductive have been passed in enforced
idleness, the time When he can ex-
pect to find work may have passed.
and he stands there, friendless, mon
eyless, job1ess. Such a man has suf-
fered a grave injury. and the trouble
is that there appear to be no good
way to prevent such injustice. The
nearest approach to q preventive
would he to insist in all cases on
speedy trial, so that the period of un-
deserved confinement may be as short
q possible.

HOW MIGHT IT HAVE WORKED?

All of Germany's military writer's
have discussed for several years the
very war which is now devastating
Europe. They have predicted it and
laid plans for it, and discussed the
manncr in which the war must be
conducted from the German side.
And all of them have agreed that
Germany's hope of success lay in be-
Ing able to strike a terrific blow be-
fore her adversaries were able to
withstand it. IT is on this theory that
the whole handling OF the German
military machine has been based.
The one thing for which the German
staff has planned and worked mas
been how to bring the most men.
thoroughly trained I'M perfectly
equipped int action at a given point
In the shortest time.
Germany, at the outset of this war,
chose the road through Belgium and
Luxembourg as the shortest route to
Paris. That involved the violation
OF treaties and other things which
tSNo ~ w u SAlA6
but the purpose was to act quickly.
The plan failed. The three weeks
within which Paris was to fall has
dragged into four months, and there
10 no prospect OF a German advance
from their present lines, which are
many miles. and many days march
from Paris. An enormous army Is
tied up along the western battle line.
It cannot move forward. To move
backward would be disastrous. To
withdraw any large body Of troops
from the west to aid In stemmtng the
Muscovote tide that 10 rolling west
ward would be fatal. for at the first
sisn of a weakening of the German
lines the allies would be ready to
break through.
3 It Is interesting to speculate on
what the result would have been had
the Germans taken the other plan
and attacked France across the Al
sace-Lorrains border. 1t Us true that
this would have relieved the French
of the necessity of protecting their
northern border, but it would also
have enabled the Germans to con.
centrate their entire force and deliv.
or their attack in one point with the
tremendous momentum of their great
army against one point. It is true
that the French have that section OF
their border heavily fortified. But
we have seer something of the effect
of big guns on Notifications. Would

THE FATE OF LODY

On the day before his death in the
tower Of London, Carl Hans Lody, the
young German who was seized as A
Russian spy, and who confessed to
his secret activities In behalf Of the
German government, the young man
wrote to his relatives at home the fol-
lowing letter:
my Dear Ones: l have trusted
in God, and He has decided that
my hour has come. l must start
on the journey through the dark
valley. like so many Of my COM
rades In his terrible war of ma
tons.
May my life be honored az
an humble offering on the alter

death on the battlefield certainly

IMPRISONMENT BEFORE TRIAL.

In some newspaper discussions of
the imprisonment of men pending
trial the assertion is made that the
time during which a man is deprived
OF his liberty while awaiting trial
ought to apply on the sentence given
him. In reply it is said that most
Judges take this into consideration
IN fixing sentence. Probably this is
done in many cases. 80 that the time
FOR which a man is deprived Of his
liberty on being found guilty of crime
u not excessive.
