Why ARE NOT THE SEDITIOUS ALIENS
DEPORTED?

WHY are the miserable aliens on FL
lis Island detained there and not ship
ped elsewhere by the first steamer leav-
ing this port? They have no right to
further hospitality in this land. Let
them be sent to some other country
preferably to a desert island, where
they can do no harm.
To my knowledge, large sums of mon
ey are being raised among the disaffect-
ed elements in this country, especially
in the large cities, to employ lawyers
who will apply for writs Of habeas cor
pus In hope Of releasing these worth
less specimens of mankind and turn
ing them loose among US.
The only achievement OF the heroic
Ole Hansen Of Seattle will be to have
got rid of this scnm and to have dump
ed it upon New York. That is an i'm
position against which Governor Smith
should protest.
The municipality Of Seattle was Wig
orous enough to get rid of the alien
offenders, but, apparently the majestic
power Of the general Government is not
able to ship this rabble out of the coun-
try.
These worthless aliens should not
have been kept on Ellis Island twenty
four hours. Many letters have been
sent to Attorney General Gregory on
this subject. Learning yesterday that
officials had failed to take any action,
I wrote Secretary Tumulty about the
conditions In this city as affecting the
II Won't Works" on Ellis Island and
about the efforts for their release. II
/ am not mistaken, something will be
done at once. Tumulty is in position
to set in movement the adequate ma
chinery.
The transports that are bringing our
soldiers home are returning empty.
Why not utilize them for the deporta-
ton Of all the worthless scum OF En-
rope that has been dumped upon our
shores in the past half century? Clean
out the immigrant asylums. Men who
haven't become citizens but have raised
families to enjoy the advantages OF our
educational system, and have PERSONAL
ly grown more or lees rich, should be
shipped back to their native land at
once.
Great Britain has grappled the alien
problem with an iron hand. She is de-
porting thousands Of aliens every
month.
The time to do it is now. While
we are achieving 80 much reputation
abroad, these non-citizens among us
are laughing in their sleeves at US!
Again, 1 ask, why are these seditious
aliens remaining on Ellis Island? Will
MI. Tumulty, In the Presidents alb.
sence. kindly explain?
The attempt to kill Clemenceau was
a mistake from every viewpoint. He
was inclined to BE most lenient OF all
Frenchmen toward Germany and one
of the stanchest friends Russia possess
ed. This attack upon him shows the
folly of assassination. 1t is not a new
principle for the correction of real or
fancied mistakes Of rulers. AS / re-
Gently showed in a Sunday Talk, the
much revered Chinese philosopher
Mencius counseled assassination as a
ready means of Kidding a suffering
people of a tyrant. The theory of ire
moval" by the pistol or the knife is
wrong. where the principle of 1.-THE re-
call" by popular vote exists; but in
hereditary monarchies the people have
nothing to do but submit or CONVEX
themselves into personal tyrants!
So many monarchs are out of thrones
in Europe today that another Daudet
will be needed to treat the subject with
proper decorum. You or / would lack
necessary reverence for the divine right
and would minimize the claims of the
dethroned men or women.
How can rational democrats be ex-
pected to feel reverence for hereditary
monarchs after seeing the dreadful mess
the Kaiser has made of a great oppor-
tunity? One of the supreme demon
STATIONS OF the wor is the fact that in
dividual domination no longer exists
and that majority rule has become the
accepted system of government. Mon
archs NAV be elected hereafter, but
