TO HELP IMMIGRANTS

The suggestion Of the federal sec
rotary of labor for solving the man
less land and landless man" problem
seems to be an excellent one. lie
simply proposes to use the tax paid
by arriving immigrants TO help dis
tribute those immigrants around the
country where they are needed and
where they will find congenial oppor-
tunities.
The immigration head tax
amounts to about $4,000, 900 a year,
though of course it is far smaller at
present while the war checks the inn
migrGtion movement. This money,
says Sec'y Wilson. was never intended
as a source of income to the govern
ment There could be no legitimate
objection to using it in protecting the
immigrant and getting him properly
started in his new life and work.
But as a matter of fact. he adds
money so utilized could be repaid, and
the fund could thus be made rotary
operating as a permanent and ever in
creasing endowment for the proper
distribution of immigrants and their
initiation into American industry and
citizenship.

wants.
Another New York woman, moved

she. too. is handsome widow. an in
considerable refinement. She has no
present means of livelihood except
keeping house for friends, and she is
frank enough to say that she is lonely
and would much rather keep house
for a congenial male partner.
Now. advertising for husband
may not be the ideal method; but if
a woman chooses to do it. why not .?
At least. why should not a woman
who wants a husband. as many women
do, frankly look for him? This is
supposed to be an age of mutual
honesty between men and women, with
the sexes at last on par. If woman
is mans equal. and man and wife are
really partners in the work of life,
why then if a woman likes a man,
should she hesitate TO tell him so d?
why should only one partner to the
marriage contract have the sole right
TO propose the partnership? Is it not
a relic of the days when a husband, in
theory at least. supported" his wife
in idleness? Both these women who
advertised are economically independ-

one because of her comfortable home

call it humorous fancy, but we're

it's safe TO say that when women
choose husbands they'll be more SEN

BETTER \ MORATORIUM ON WAR
(Grand Rapids Press }


a German has come forward with
proposal to have a moratorium on
Christianity declared for the rest of
the war. He holds that Christianity
and the practices of modern warfare
are utterly irrecOncilable. and that if
people are bound to hate each other
there is nothing gained by hypocrit-
ically appealing to the same God for
assistance in blighting youe fellow
religionists.
People in masses cannot be as ra-
tional as all that. In a world without
hypocrisy the moral atmosphere
would be so rarified that apparently
few could live in il as they live in the
here and now. Certainly if all men
saw their world clearly and saw il
whole there would be no war. If men
ever appreciated even the simple
fact that Christianity and war are
incompatible they would not need TO
declare a moratorium upon Chris
tianity because they would immediat-
~ declare one upon war. 1t is pre-
cisely because people are natural hyp-
ocrites that SO many worthy people
believe that they are doing the Lords
work, as well as the nations, in kill
ing their neighbors.

RURAL CREDITS LEGISLATION.
(Great Fails Tribune.)


In an address at san Francisco
Speaker Clark made the prediction
that the next congress would enact
some sort of rural credits legislation.
That is a part of the democratic pro-
gram, and it was expected for a time
that the late session of congress
would pass a rural credits law. Ii is
a large and difficult subject, however.
and il was found that the knowledge
on the subject was neither of sutfi-
cient volume nor definite enough 10
allow of going ahead without further
study and investigation. The cOnsen-
sus OF opinion in congress was that
neither the French nor the German
systems which have been successful
in these countries, would work in the
United States because OF the entirely
different conditions. Therefore delay
was believed 20 be advisable until fur
ther time for study and investigation
could be had.
Following the adjournment OF con-
gress committee of experts was
named by Secretaries Lane and Will
son of the departments Of the inter
Tor and labor, at the instigation of
the president for further considera-
ton of the whole subject. That com
mittee has been at work now for
some months and il is announced
from Washington that il has not only
been considering the subject OF rural
credits as formerly understood. but
that II has taken up the even broader
subject OF relieving the labor conges-

tension of rural credits so that il will
be possible 10 encourage the taking

1ects and on other public lands OF
