Shame Upon Such Protest.

Under the above caption, Ansel
Watrus (the veteran and able dean of
Colorado editors) of the Fort Collins
Courier, has the following to say of
a recent presidential nominations:
"A great cry of protest is going mp
from a few sources in this country
against the nomination of Louis ID.
Brandeis, of Boston, to the vacancy
on the United States supreme bench
caused by the death of Justice La
mar, on the ground that he Is jew.
'The man who opposes this noni-
nation for that reason is controlled
by prejudice. Brandeis is lawyer
of high standing Mt the Massachusetts
bar. He is man of good private and
public character. He is withal an
able and distinguished man. While
there may be others whom this paper
would prefer to have seen named for
this high position by the president,
it cannot unite with the opposition
simply on the ground that he is a
Jew. In this country Of ours every
man is guaranteed the privilege of
worshipping his God according to
the dictates of his own conscience.
The Jewish race has given Amer
lea some of her most notable men,
men who have done great things for
the country; men who have been
taking the initiative in some of our
greatest enterprises; men who have
been noted for their philanthrophy;
men who have builded great finan-
cial and ind ustrial enterprises.
Would to God that Americans
generally were as considerate. kind
and true in their family relations as
are the Jews."

TO RELIEVE CITY CONGESTION
Massachusetts, Legislature Considers
Measures Encouraging "5aek-to-
the-Land" Movement.

Two unusual measures have been
under consideration by the legislature
OF Massachusetts. One provides for
an appropriation for homesteads or
small houses with plots of ground for
mechanics, laborers and other persons
in the suburbs of cities and towns. The
other bill authorizes any city to ac-
quire land for the purpose of teaching
agriculture to its inhabitants, includ-
ing schoolchildren, adults 'and family
groups.
The bills are really complementary.
Their purpose is to encourage the
"back-to-the-land" movement and to re-
lieve congested districts. They are
sponsored by the Massachusetts, home
stead commission, which believes that
there is strong disposition among
persons in congested city districts to
escape from these to pleasanter and
more healthful surroundings. The
commission, in fact, made canvass Of
500 typical tenement families. II dis
covered that no fewer than l60 fami-
lies, with 500 children, were anxious
to move to suburban surroundings
where they could have a garden and
till the soil. The chief difficulties in
their way, Of course. are lack of capi-
tai and lack Of knowledge of garden
ing or farming. These lacks the two
bills in the legislature would seek to
supply.

lures of marriage, consequently, the
proposing is left TO the women to do.
When the ebony belle falls in love
with a man she sends n piece of string
to his sister, or, If he has no sister,
to his mother. or another of his lady
relatives.
Then the lady who receives The
string tells the dusky brave that the
particular damsel Is in love with him.
No cOurting follows, however. for 1t Is
considered beneath New Guinea gen
tleman's dignity to waste time in sues
pursuit.
If the man thinks he would like TO
wed the lady. he meets her alone, and
they decide straight away whether to
marry Or drop the idea.
In the former case the betrothal is
announced. The man is then branded
on the back with charcoal, while 4
mark is cut into the woman's skin.
No breach-of-promise actions are
possible in New Guinea, though If the
lady is Tilted her friends may hunt her
lover up and "go" for him. On the
other hand, If the dark damsel proves
faithless, she is liable to be enten BY
her betrothed If he catches her.
