The immigration Bill.

Two subjects were discussed in the
Senate yesterday which. while interest
ing enough. are productive at this time
principally of amusement. One is the
binding character of a party platform,
band the other the binding character of a
caucus decree
Mr.. Stone ehampioned the binding
oeharaeter of caucus decree. The demo-
cratic caucus having pronounced against
consideration of the immigration bill at
this session, all democratic senators
Sashould obey. And vet, as he was re-
minded, a democratic caucus decree did
not prevent action on the child labor
-Ibill at this session. At the command of
the President. the caucus reversed its
decree, and the bill was passed.
- Mr.. Hardwick championed the immi-
grafton bill, and said:
Il defy the caucus to bind me on
any question that has not been indorsed
isby the party platform and which is in
mo sense political. The men who try
that sort of thing are leaders who would
.-destroy the party if they could have
Ffheir way
And yet the senator from Georgia has
seen the Baltimore platform of four years
sHgo serapped, and must have read in
leading democratic newspapers much de-
ee'risive comment on certain features Of
the St. Louis platform, showing that a
gnsdemocratic victory in November will be
Aal 70 of< hot lot;vop
lance
e 1t is apparent to all, and should be
confessed, that game of politics is in
Progress. Measures are not being con-
siGered or passed upon by Congress on
their merits. Mr.. Hardwick says that
: the immigration bill "is in no sense
political" In one sense it is political,
,-and hence the effort to postpone the
I<vote on it until next session. The Presi-
dent, who is opposed to the literacy
clause of the measure, does not desire
to repeat his objection formally at this
time. 1t might injure his campaign.
. The child labor law is, in principle,
excellent But there was doubt when
the bill was under discussion about its
zxonstitutionality as drawn. Some SEN
shtors who voted for it doubted its con-
stitutionality, and Woodrow Wilson a.
:.essayist was quoted to sustain that view.
But politics called for its passage, and
it passed. The probability is that Con-
gress enacted not only q law, but law
suit; and if the courts should decide
against the law, the work will have to be
done over.
The question Of immigration Is 30 i'm
portant-goes so directly to the root Of
our governmental structure-it is . pity
ito see it made thus pawn in q politi-
.sla game.

Glynn and Wescott.

Some Of the Glynn men in New York
are murmuring. Their favorite seems
to have been lost in the shuttle. He did
not deserve the gubernatorial nomina-
ton, but would have been glad of the
senatorial nomination. And yet neither
Tammany nor the national administra-
ton showed the least interest in him.
His name was not mentioned at Sara
toga for anything.
Gov. Glynn's speech at st. Louis was
much admired, and especially by the
Presidents friends. 1t was full of praise
for the President and all he had done,
and the notion followed that the Presi-
dent would reeiprocate by warming to
the Glynn senatorial boom. But he did
not. Mr.. McCombs was recommended by
the Saratoga conference for the O'Gor-
man seat.
Judge Wescott Of New Jersey Jared
better. He placed Mr.. Wilson in nomina-
ton at st. Louis, and in return is re-
ceiving Mr.. Wilson's support for the
senatorial nomination in his state. It
is his principal prop. Without it, he
would have small chance against Mr.
MARITIME, who wants a second term. It
remains to be seen whether he can win
with it. Mr.. MARITIME and his friends
are quite confident.
In both New York and New Jersey
the situation is complicated. The demo-
Gratis are divided, and the bull moosers
uncertain. Tammany has no love for
Judge Seabury, and it is question if it
will work energetically for him in the
campaign against Gov Whitman. Some
Of the Presidents closest advisers have
no love for Mr.. McCombs, and it is a
question if the administrator influence
will be exerted for him in the senatorial
race.
As New Jersey is the Presidents home
state, his support Of Judge Wescott is an
exercise Of his right a. q citizen. At the
same time there are those-not par
ticularly partial to Mr.. Martine-who
regret It and regard it as poor politics
In their Judgment, he should have kept
hands Of. Mr.. MARITIME was at one time
his protege, and in the Senate has given
him reasonable support. He is giving
him support now in the Presidents race
for reelection.
It may Be that the President has some,
thing in mind for Gov. Glynn after
March next. If reelected he may find a
place in his cabinet or at some important
foreign capital for the man who said
50 many handsome things about him al
st. Louis. But just at present some
Glynn men think the former governor
is playing in hard luck.

New York Escapes q Second Strike.


The supplementary street car strike
in New York has been averted by Mayor
Mitchell, who was called upon as mediator
when the union threatened to order q
walkout on the ground that men who
had been conspicuous in the first strike
had been punished by the companies by
dismissal. Under the mayors decision
the men who had heen held and con-
victed of offenses committed in connec-
ton with the strike are to be immedi-
ately reinstated to tire positions from
which the companies had discharged
them, while the cases or others sub
sequently dismissed on varying charges
of knocking dow.i fares,' insubordina-
tion, intemperance, etc, are to be re-
ferred to arbitration to determine
whether these charges are genuine or
are subterfuges to cover reprisals for
strike activity.
1t is practically impossible for pub
lie service corporation to show bad faith
in such a case without bringing on q
secondary strike. The men are natural
ly suspicious of all disciplinary actions
and are prone to suspect that every
punishment administered is for reasons
not connected with the immediate serv.
ice. This is one Of the great misfor-
tunes Of strike. 1t is always followed
by a period Of unsettlement in dis
cipiine because the company, if it seeks
to avoid further trouble, will tolerate
breaches Of rules up to q certain point

Old Faithful.

Sounding faster still and lighter,
Listen to the old typewriter!
Clicking on with stout endeavor
Like the brook that runs forever.
Mystic blend of mind and matter,
Never pausing in its chatter.
All Indifferent to the rumors
Reused by pessimistic humors.
How serenely day by day,
1t goes Gathering on its way!
Now friend and next fighter.
Listen to the old typewriter!
Everything is to its liking.
Never says a word of striking.
Not a blowout, not puncture
Stays its course at any juncture.
Frames an accusation breezy,
Then disproves it just as easy.
All existence moves along
To the old typewriter's song.

for fear Of being accused Of Furnishing
strike leaders and participants. In view
of the tremendous damage that may be
done to the public interest through
strike on a street railway system, it is
most desirable that in every city there
should be permanent board Of adjust
ment to settle such matters following
labor disturbance, if measures are not
adopted for compulsory arbitration
which will prevent strikes.

.BEMIDJ| CITIZENS
SEE DAMAGED GOODS
AT GRAND THEATRE

Damaged Goods" the sensational
photo-drama of modern life, which
opened at the Grand this afternoon,
had it's first showing in this city at
that theater this morning when an
assemblage Of prominent Bemidji cit
liens witnessed it's run through the
courtesy of the theater and the
Force Photo Co., which is producing
the picture in this city. That "Dam-
aged Goods teaches a great moral
lesson which should be learned by
every citizen, was evidenced through
out the showing of the film by the
comments of several of the profess
sional men present who testified vol
UNFAIRLY that they had recently en-
countered in this section cases SIM
liar to that shown on the screen.
The purpose of the showing was
to give the mayor, other city Off
cials and members of the medical
profession an. opportunity to pass on
the picture and to assure themselves
that it did indeed teach the lesson
heralded for it, Not only were no
unfavorable comments found, but
every member of the committee
agreed that this film should be seen
by every person who is interested
in his own physical welfare and in
that of society generally.
Lessons learned in youth are we'll
learned and damaged Goods" points
the way to a betterment Of social
conditions, which if followed cannot
fail to improve the individual and,
through him, society generally.
While the plot is intensely interest
ing, the moral of the play is predom-
inant over all and the millions who
have already seen damaged Goods
certainly have been impressed in a
most striking way.
In addition to Mayor Vandersluis,
the following gentlemen witnessed
the first run of the film: DR.. G. R.
