promise, known as the Omnibus
Bill" of 1850. But the ghost
would not down, and in 1854
stephen A. Douglas pulled
through the Kansas Nebraska
act, which was virtual repudia-
ton of the Missouri Compromise,
since it established the right of
the inhabitants of eacn Territory
to decide for themselves whether
the State should come into the
Union free or slave.
Immediately after the passage
of the Kansas Nebra ska bill. the
political cauldron began to bub-
Bile and boil, Kansas became the
storm center of the conflict of
border ruffianism and free
soilism; propaganda clashed with
propaganda in actual battle, pro-
slavery being in the ascendant
one day and anti-slavery the
next; until finally the ants won
out and Bleeding Kansas" took
her place in the Union as a free
State. The admission of Kansas
was the close of the long contro-
versy. preliminary to the mighty
appeal to arms upon the battle

ness, even be said TO be the

u. S. Should Not Be a
Workshop or a Re
formatory.

Each one of these qualities may
limits, but without answering the
full requirement
Still less ought our country to
be regarded by us or the rest of
the world as a hospital for the
sick, a poorhouse for the impecu-
NOUS, workshop for the unem-
ployed, a retreat for the oppress-
ed, an asylum for the fugitive or
a reformatory for the depraved.
Unwise altruism is as deplora-
bic as sagacious -selfishness.
No man should be received
from abroad who is physically, in
tellectually or morally below the
average tone Of the country.
Every such one lowers the tone
of the nation and to that degree
disqualifies it for fulfilling its
mission to the world.
So the principle we are con-
tending for is not urged from
motives of self ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
but in the interest of wider and
more efficient benefcence.
1t is this principle that is in
sisted upon in every wisely adj
ministered household.
The private house has it's doors,
which are kept shut and locked.
No one is allowed to cross the
threshold from outside without
careful personal inspection.
And still more is no one al
lowed to become more than
transient occupant of the home
if of a character to depress the
quality of the home or infect in
any way any of its members.

BLEEDING Kansas Part in War
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

IT HE admission of Kansas to
the Sisterhood OF States,
SO years ago. was the main
act of the drama which, beginning
with the Missouri Compromise"
of 1920, and extending through
the exciting campaign for the
Kansas Nebraska act of 1854, was
to have It's final denouement in
the booming of guns at Sumter
and the gathering of the hosts for
battle
Clay's well-meant measure, the
Missouri Compromise. admitted
Missouri as a slave State, but
prohibited slavery in all other
territories west of the Mississippi
and north of parallel $3.50; a
measure that would almost GER
tainly have worked like charm
but for the invention OF the Yam
kee schoolmaster. Eli Whitney.
A little more than twenty years
before the great Kentuckian got
his famous compromise through
Congress. Whitney invented the
cotton gin, a machine that is al
most equal to Watts steam en-
CINE in its influence upon history
But for Whitney's invention the
question OF slavery would never
have become a menace TO the
country. At first slavery existed
in the Northern as well as the
southern States. but owing to it's
unprotitab leness II soon practical
~ died out north Of the Mason
and Dixon line. and but for the
cotton gin would unquestionably
have had the same fate in the
South.
Thirty years after the enact
ment of the Missouri Compromise
bill Ca very brief period in the life
of a nation), the trouble began to
brew, and a short armistice was
provided for in Clay's other COM

MAN AND MONKEY.

P. c. F-You are mistaken in
maintaining that Darwin taught
the doctrine that man sprang
from the monkey tribe. Darwin
nowhere says any such thing.
His teachings, while resting upon
the development" or evolution"
theory nowhere assert that
mankind sprang from the simian
breed, except in a way that need
give us no alarm. The consan-
guinity is so remote that no blush
need come to our faces in think
ing upon the subject. 1t is high
time that the great English think
er was cleared of the vulgar in
situation that has for so long
been thrown out against him.

We Should Do Proper
Thing Without Be-

The commandments ordained
in Scripture and in one form or
another re-enacted by Legisla-
ture, constitute the cages in
which, like so many wild beasts
in a menagerie, we are severally
Gagged. Every time that a man
refrains from doing what he
would do were there no restraint
put upon him by the laws of God
or of the State or of his own
conscience.

a captive lion pacing up and
down before the iron grating in a
geological garden and peering
through the Stats half hungrily
and half resentfully.
He may not voice his impa-
tience and resentment in howls,
as undomesticated hyenas do. but
in spirit he bowls, even if he has
too much respect for himself and
for society to make his tribula-
lions audible.

Cloture Vital in the Senate

~ I is not. within our American
House of Lords, a popular,
but it is an essentially vital
reform that finds it's sponsor and
spokesman in Robert l.. owen,
the dauntless Senator from Ok

For the last five years since
the beginning OF the Taft Ad-

gathering among the people an
increasing protest against the

to align itself definitely and pow

By DIR. CHARLES H. PARKHURST.

TIME idea has been earnestly
cherished by a great many
of our people that the Unit
ed States exists for a world
wide purpose; that our destiny
will not be accomplished by
merely becoming a great nation
ourselves, except as that great
ness becomes an influence and an
inspiration telling upon all the
rest of the nations.
This ambition, which is GER
tainly a laudable one, stands in
very distinct relation to the ques-
ton of immigration, and to the
policy which, as a nation, we
ought to adopt relative to the in
PRODUCTION or the exclusion of the
foreign element.
Professor Fairchild, OF Yale
University, has recently discuss
ed this question in a fashion that
is broad and statesmanly. Immi-
grafton is one of our great ma
tional problems that need to be
solved in the light of considera-
tons that are spondingly
great.
The doors of admission to our
country ought not to be opened to
an applicant on the basis merely
of the money which he can show,
nor of his physical or intellectual
productiveness, nor of his ability
to meet the industrial demands of
any section of the country. Not.
even his personal integrity and
adequate passport.

Is National Character Be-
ing Lowered by the
Open Door?

Even our owrr~hands we can
not cleanse by the use of soiled
water. 1t is, then, to the critic
rion of that principle that our
policy of immigration requires to
be brought.
Are we, or are we not, lowering
the tone of our national charac-
ter by keeping so widely open to
the foreigner our doors of admis-
sion? If we are, we are by so
much incapacitating ourselves
for comforting upon the world the
blessing that we have all along
been taught that it Is our ma
tional privilege and function to
render.
NDOMESTICATED animals
are such as are not allowed
to run free and are put be-

description of very considerable
majority of human animals, only
in the latter case the method Of
confinement is different and the
bars, instead of being iron and
steel, are composed of laws and
ordinances.

An Anticipated Rule.

The ANTICIPATED rule of unlimit-

ed for a long while on the argu-
ment of precedent The prece-
dents Of the world now, intellec-
tual and parliamentary are all
against the folly and injustice of
it. The precedents in each of the
New England States, in every
Atlantic State, in every Gulf
State, in every Pacific State. in
every Rocky Mountain State, in
every Mississippi Valley State,
and in every State bordering on
Carada are against unlimited de-
bate or the minority veto. What
Senator from any of these States
will venture to say that the prece-
dents of his State are unsound.
