Editorial Comment
Why Not Enforcs che Law?
New York SUM

There is an alien anarchist exclu-
sion act on the Federal statute
books today which was passed early
in 1917 over the Presidents veto. 1t
was in effect while the United States
was at war with Germany. 1t il IN
effect now. Its provisions to keep
alien anarchists out Of the country
and to deport any who may sneak in
are admirably drawn. Yet in a Pc
riod during which this country was
struggling for its very life. a period
in which immigration was reduced to
a minimum by external causes, a
period in which entrance into and
departure from the United States
were made more difficult than they
had ever been before, anarchists and
other revolutionists Of every country
under heaven came and went as they
pleased, by water and by land. Or
.ganized their propaganda here,
taught their doctrines. and when
they were arrested found it possible
to stay the hands of the deporting
officers in one way or another until
the tolerance with which they were
treated became a public scandal of
the most sinister significance.

Winter Travel.

The expected is happening. Owing
to the hard, dry clima:c Of the
United States winter travel to Cuba
and the Bermudas is reaching I'M
precedented proportions. Railway
and steamship bookings are very
heavy and reservations are made
with a rush for December and into
January. Some travellers are frank
to say that they want to live in a
wet" country. Others are taking
trips this year because they have not
had previous time or money. Others
are undoubtedly influenced by the
coal situation, and still others are
responding to the impulse to go
somewhere whenever conditions are
abnormal. There is a kind of nerv-
BUSINESS that expresses itself in
travel. the desire to get away even
though coal is scarce for train service
and prospects Of rail strike are in
the oflng. This nervous class OF
people must have an outlet and per
haps it is better that they do. Things
may look brighter to them when they
return

How N. Y. City Children
Care for Their Teeth

The principals Of New York's pub
lie schools allow the children to re-
ceive only such dental preparations
as contain no grit to scratch the ten
der enamel, no drugs to infiame the
delicate gums. Mothers should be
equally careful at home.
Mrs. K. X. Jacksoff>ef Public School
70, and Mr.. Romeo j. Perretti of No,
IS. both of New York, are glad to
have their pupils use Albodon Dental
Cream. They have investigated and
know 1t Is both effective and safe. Al
bodon is calcium carbonate, saponi-
fed and mixed with the well-known
antiseptic oils of cloves, cinnamon
and eucalyptus, making a compost
ton one third cleansing, one-third
polishing, one-third antiseptic. Au-
thorities agree this is best for women
and children.
A tube of this cream containing
sufficient for IS brushings can be
bought guaranteed at any drug store.

BUYING Diamonds.

A Boston paper sums It up as fol-
lows:
Great business in diamonds. After
shoes. eggs and chocolates the prices
look low.
There is sound sense in this squib.
The public has become SO accus-
toned to paying big prices for things
that it doesn't feel the pain of pay
ing more for a more expensive thing,
even though the thing is luxury.
Girls who find they have to pay $45
for a very mediocre street suit are in
the habit Of deciding to pay $50 or
SIS for an ultra smart one that may
or may not fit their position and the
rest of their wardrobe. Men who
have to pay $50 for regulation over
coat make up their minds to take a
chance on a leather one at SIS or SIS.
Housekeepers who wish to buy fish.
discovering that salt cod is marked
Is cents, prefer halibut at IS cents or
swordfish ct 40. A man who finds
that an automobile of the open-faced
type calls for $500 makes his choice
for a sedan at S2450 or whereabouts.
And SO it goes. Prices and values
have been so recklessly inflated that
people are losing all idea of the real
uses Of money. The whirl Of coin
and paper is binding men and women
to the knowledge of what a dollar
ought to buy in normal times. All
standards seem to have been thrown
away in these abnormal and unset
tied days and finance among men of
small means is as frenzied as it ever
was among the Wall street bears.
The United States dollar which we
know has shrunk to about half its
former purchasing power increases to
more than 100 cents in every ETo-
uean country, the rate being highest
in Germany where the German mark
has fallen in exchange to 8 cents.
War conditions unbalanced the fnan-
cial equilibrium and it will be long
time yet before they return to nor
NAL. Legislation will not do the
work, though 1t may do a part Of It,
The real readjustment must be made
BY the slow process Of regulating ex-
penditures according to income and
sound. thrifty judgment.

Up to the Consumer.

The coal problem has come Ia the
consumer. it has been delivered to
nm tn lieu OF the coal he ordered: in
other words the buck has been passea
as was expected. The court enjoined
and the miners grinned; arbitration
was offered and the miners refused.
These poor down-trodden serfs hay-
ing money enough to live on for a de.
sired loafing spell held firm. The
operators offered 20 per cent increase
and they still held firm. The score.
tary Of labor suggested an increase of
S1.S per cent and the suggestion was
received with indifference.
This Indifference in part was later
explained by Ex-Secretary McAdoo
when he charged that during the
benefcent Wilson administration the
mine owners had been making enor-
nous profits and could well afford to
pay the increase in wages without
passing it on to the consumer. This
must have dispelled some of the am
bilious dreams Of certain ofacials, for
next appears on the scene Doctor
Garfield with a proposition that the
operators pay the miners II per cent
increase out of their own pockets and
not add it to the price of coal. And
still these poor starving" miners
smiled and shook their heads.
Why should they worry? Other
people in the country were working
and providing them with clothes,
food. ETC.. 50 they would just roll over
for another snooze and let the coun-
cry shiver. Perhaps the dear people
would finally Conclude to give the
roal mines to the miners and posi-
bly, assist them in digging the coal.
All Of which is to cause the heart Of
staggering, shivering humanity to
bleed for the miners and the 1000 per
cent mine owners.
Now out in Kansas the pretty
theorizing was discounted, Kansas

Public Must Organize
(The Evening Telegram)

Alexander I. Rorke, Assistant Dis
trict Attorney, who, since 1916 has
had charge Of the prosecution Of
anarchists convicted in this country.
neither minimizes the danger from
Bolshevism nor hesitates to place the
blame He does not claim that pro-
hibition, or the income tax, or the
high cost Of living is to blame, but
cites palpable facts and with pointed
finger fearlessly indicates where cul-
pability rests.
He says there are laws enough for
the protection Of the country, but
they are not enforced.
Enforce the existing federal laws
respecting alien radicals who believe
in the doctrine of force ald violence
for the overthrow Of our form Of
government. These laws provide
that such aliens are anarchists and
shall be kept out of the United States,
and that if they have entered the
United States they shall be deported
even though they have become citi-
zens meanwhile. Punish the native
born American who advocates such
doctrines.
I'VE have heard that it has been
impossible to deport the criminal an
archists. because no ships have been
available for that purpose. II such
be the fact then there would seem
to be immediate need for the organ
ization of a patriotic American So
ciety to procure ships for marooned
anarchists.
Greater activity on the part Of
public officials and a certainty Of
quick punishment for the offenders
would tend to discourage the ciandes-
tine entrance Of radical agitators into
America.
THE public at present is between
the upper and the neither milestone.
Capital Is organized. labor is organ
lied. the public-the plain citizen,
the common people. the middle class
lis the football Of both because Il ia
unorganized. 1t pays the bills for
every fight between the other two.
The public in America needs to be
organized quickly"
This is plain talk. The people
must organize, but how?
