Apply Golden Rule to
immigration Problem
Issue Defined as What Can Be Done
to Make Melting Pot More
Effective

San Francisco, Aug. 9-App ication
of the Golden Rule was declared to
be the only possible solution of the
immigration problem by speakers'be
fore the International immigration
congress which opened three day
session here today.
Ira b. Gross, assistant professor of
economics at the University OF Cali
fornia, said.
"a constructive domestic immigra-
ton policy is badly needed. 'We must
make a conscientious effort to force
the people in this country into an
American race that will stand togeth-
err for America in times OF peace and
war.
"The issue is: What can be done to
make the work of the melting pot
more effective
1.-THE government, industry and phi
lanthropy, as yet, have scarcely
scratched the surface of this most
important and fruitful field OF un-
told promise.
even our greatest authorities seem
to lose their ability to reason clearly
and Judge fairly when considering
this question.
1--WE oppose the immigration of any
race, no matter what its virtues, that
comes in any large numbers. We
must realize that immigration is both
a liability and an asset"

lures a harmonious substitute for

act to facilitate loans to farmers will
be pressed before the next session of
congress. Mr.. Kanaga said.

DREAD ACTION WITH BAY0NET
Front Pray They May Not Be

''In a house which visited recent
ly," writes O correspondent from
Paris, "a lady whose son was about to
leave to join the colors spent days in
anguish and prayer, not over the part
ing, not over fear for her boys safety,
but in dread lest he should have to
fight with his bayonet. That he should
be killed, she was prepared to meet,
that he should drive his bayonet into
a fellowbeing was more than her
motherhood could support. Her pray
ers we're answered. Her son vas de-
tailed to the field telephone service,
a position of far greater danger than
in trench, but the mother Is happy.
II was all she asked of God and her
country.
Il know another woman, a poor Ia
boring woman of the people. who says,
1 pray every hour of the day that my
husband won't go to the bayonet, for
! don't know what the poor man would
do. He could not, my husband could
not kill q man whose face he looked
upon 80.
Among many women this is the
greatest terror, that their loved ones
will be forced to kill at close quarters.
1t is a strange point Of view that I con-
fess / had never thought of, probably

seems to me to indicate that civiliza-
ton, the advancement Of the race, is
not in the hands of governments and
kings, but in the hearts of women like
these"

an most parts Of Paris the streets
are SO dark after nightfall that you
can hardly walk without fear of
stumbling over something you cannot
see, and as for going upstairs, in many
houses the passages are so dark and
the staircase Is so difficult to climb
that you really risk breaking your
legs or something This is put down
to the rules of the police, who forbid
Lights in houses that can guide the
aeroplanes, but the landlords no
doubt take advantage OF this to save

Men Fight In Street
. Arraigned In Court

Nicola Zulli, manager of meat
market in the first ward and L.. G.
Henderson were fined $40 each by
Mayor Bowen this morning in police
court. They were arrested Saturday
night; by Chief Of Police Harr In front
OF the store
Zulli was defended by. Attorney Har.
ny Shaw, while City Attorney Hagger-
ty looked after the interests Of the
city. ,5i, Z
From the evidence 1t appears that
Henderson being drunk was in the
store at closing time on Saturday
night, and when he refused to get out
the manager proceeded to show him
the door. This did not end the diff.
Guilty, however, for afterwards the two
men had little fistic encounter in
the street. This was when Chief Harr
interfered and made the arrests.
Henderson paid his fine. but Zulli
through his attorney announced that
an appeal Of the case would be taken
to the higher court.

Quickly Relieves #
Without Distress

The congestion OF waste and
refuse from the stomach, fermcnt-
ing in the bowels, generates pois-
onous gases that occasion distress
and invite serious illness. Health
and comfort demand that this con.
gestion be speedily relieved and
the foul mass expelled.
The weil.founded objection most
people have to the violence of ca
thartic and purgative agents Is
overcome by using the combina-
ton OF simple laxative herbs with
pepsin that is sold in drug stores
under the name Of DR.. Caldwell's
Syrup Pepsin. A dose at night
brings relief next morning, with.
out discomfort or Inconvenience.
