President Wilson's Health,

President Wilson's reception of a
delegation of two senators yesterday
in conference on the Mexican situa-
ton has set at rest reports regarding
his condition that for some time have
been in circulation. greatly to the I'M
easiness of the public. 1t would ap-
pear from the accounts that have been
given of the interview at the White
House that the President is perfectly
capable of conducting the affairs of
his office; that he is fully cognizant
of national and international condi-
tons and that he is progressing toward
recovery. If he were as i'll man as
the sinister rumors have suggested he
would assuredly not have been able to
spend forty minutes in animated and
clear talk on the Mexican problem, in
terspersed with characteristic whim-
sicalities respecting the currency of
suspicion concerning his GONZALES
cence.
1t is distinctly gratifying to get this
assurance that Mr.. Wilson is progress
ing toward the recovery of his health.
1t is now to be hoped that there will
be cessation Of rumor-spreading and
whispering and gossiping about him.
The bulletins that are being issued
from the White House on the author
ity of those in medical attendance
upon the President have been frank
and full. There has been no conceal
ment that the Presidents illness at
one time was of grave nature, or of
the fact that his restoration to health
is slow process. But there is no rea-
son to believe that the President is
not now in full possession of such
faculties as enable him to attend to
the larger matters Of his Office. Many
details that he heretofore has taken
upon himself have naturally been rele-
gated to others.
The presidential Office is being dis
charged today despite the illness that
Mr.. Wilson has suffered. The federal
administration is functioning, and
there is no ground for pub6s uneasi-
ness on the score of the efficiency of
the government in any emergency
that may arise and any crisis that
may develop.

The Immigrant and His Duty.

In cable from Rome to The Star,
published yesterday, appear extracts
from report to the. Italian govern
ment on the subject Of Italian emf
grafton to the United States made by
Signor Pancrazi, described as the
royal Italian inspector of emigration
stationed in this town.
Take this:
"The writer traces the formation of
two currents in America-one to re
strict immigration altogether, and the
other to Americanize the workers and
persuade them to remain. He declares
that the Italian view that workers are
entitled to spend their earnings ac-
cording to their desires is contrary to
the American opinion that money
earned in America should be spent in
America
Then take this:
ain summing up the reasons for the
return of Italians to Italy, Signor Pan
crazi, who should be well informed
adduces seven, as follows: l. Italian
emigration to America is temporary
and was prolonged by the war. 2. The
emigrants have saved money in Amer
lea which, as always, they intend to
spend at home in Italy. 3. The Ital-
ian government has prevented their
families in Italy from joining them.
4. Propaganda of steamship agents
anxious to make up for losses during
the war time. 5. Uncertainty of work
with possible loss of jobs. 6. Local
pressure to persuade them to become
American citizens. 7. Hope that at
home they will find work under con-
ditions as good as elsewhere. Reasons
], and should be studied by those
Americans who will make the immi
grafton laws of the future. In con-
clusion, Signor Pancrazi hopes that
the American labor market will re,
main open to Italian workmen."
The question is not one altogether
| of money. OF course, We hold that

Congress and the Mandate.

What was the mandate the repub-
hean party received from the people
in November, 1887 1t did not cover
the peace treaty or the league of ma.
tions, because at that time they were
not in existence. 1t did not cover spe-
cifcally the case Of the "reds," because
at that time there had been no such
talk from that source about revolu.
ton as has since been INDUCED in by
soap-box spouters and others of that
kidney. 1t did not cover the Army
question as now presented. because at
that time the war was still in progress.
The reference to the railroads was that
they should be returned to their own
ers, but no details were suggested.
The mandate was something like
this, if it is permissible, to imagine
the people addressing the republican
party in general terms: "The war ap.
pears to be drawing to close. and at
the close big job will present itself.
Reconstruction will be a very large
order, and we want you to fill it. It
will have to do largely with business
questions, and your reputation rests

therefore, is not in the tolls of cut
and dried instructions. 1t enjoys a
good deal of leeway. 1t is to exercise
its best judgment ON questions as they
arise, giving to each the examina
ton, the reflection and the discussion
its Importance demands
The appeal is to the party in its
best estate for it's best work. 1t has
a reputation to sustain. When united
it has never failed to score. and in
scoring has served the country well
in some grave emergencies, financial
and political. Such an emergency ex.
lists today-the greatest since the civil
war. The party is united today, and
well led in both House and Senate. 1t
could not hope for better oppor.
tunity or higher inspiration to show
class and quality in legislative labors.
If it scores this time, it will score
heavily. The bulk of the work done
in Congress at this session will be a
feature in the presidential campaign.
The country is at attention, and Con-
gress should attend to the country.

the man, whether from Italy or any
other country, who comes to America
to profit by our money making op-
portunities, and does profit, should
spend his money here
But higher than the money ques-
ton is the question of citizenship. We
are making that paramount now We
want the immigrant to stay and east
his lot permanently here; to improve
his own fortunes, and assist as citi-
zen in making the country alluring to
| others. He owes it to himself and to
| the country to make the fullest pos
! sible return for all the benefits re-
ceived in country of exceptional
benefits.
Congress will soon be taking up this
question, and should deal with it in a
spirit of perfect fairness and frank
ness. Our melting pot, as all are now
aware, has not been functioning in
satisfactory way. The revelations
have been both surprising and disap-
pointing. We have not been assimi-
lating newcomers as has been our
boast and belief. Many have declined
or neglected citizenship, while many
who have taken the obligations have
made but poor returns.
The demand that the gates be closed
tight is hardly powerful enough to pre-
vail But it is altogether likely that
in future they will be closely watched,
with a view of improving the char
acter of the professions coming
through. There is still room in Amer
lea for the right sort of people-peo-
pie of good purpose seeking home,
and willing to do a full part toward
sustaining and Strengthening the gov
eminent giving them advantages and
protection. But there will be small, if
any, welcome henceforth for the mere
moneyhunter, here today and gone
tomorrow, and no helpful force any

Germany's Bluff Called.

According to a dispatch from Paris
today the supreme council of the al.
lied powers has notified Germany that
if she does not sign the protocol final
ly accepting the treaty of peace the
allies will take military measures to
compel acquiescenee.
Marshal Foch has urged such meas
ures. He has, it is intimated, formu
lated a plan of operations. The seiz-
ure of certain German cities is indi-
Gated as one of the first steps in the
renewed campaign-Cologne and Es-
sen being named as probable points
of attack.
Renewal of the war in these eircum
stances is not likely to be followed
by extensive hostilities, if, indeed
there are any actual hostilities at all
Germany is not now in condition to
resist. Despite certain activities in
the way of reorganization of her army
that country is helpless before the
united forces of the allies, depleted
though they have been through de.
mobilization. Germany has been
stripped of war-making materials
She has no feet, her coast lies open
to approach and her shore to invasion
A speedy compliance with the de-
mand of the supreme council for the
signature of the protocol is altogethe,
probable. Germany has made hel
bluff, doubtless for purposes of do
nestle politics and it has been called

Jenkins Release.

Release of Consular Agent Jenkins
from Jail at Puebla has quickly
changed the situation and greatly
eased the strain between this country
and Mexico. 1t is of no moment for
the present whether Jenkins was re-
leased by the government of Mexico
at the instance of the United States,
or upon the tender of bail. He is now
at liberty and the primary cause of
the immediate friction between the
two countries is removed.
If Jenkins was released on bail it
was evidently without his initiative
or desire. He has heretofore refused
to apply for release on that condition,
on the ground that to do so would be
to admit the right of the Mexican au-
thorities to arrest him. If somebody
else has rendered bail for him it may
have been at the secret instance of the
government at Mexico City. Such a
trick would not be unthinkable.
With the Jenkins ease removed to
the category of discussion there re-
mains no acute issue between the two
countries. The cause of the repeated
affronts and indignities, however, is
not cured. Mexico is hostile in spirit
toward the United States and toward
all Americans. The future holds no
guarantee of relief from these con-
stantly recurring occasions for protest
and demand.
Charges are made that the govern
ment at Mexico City has eonnived at
the introduction of radical agents and
propaganda literature into the United
States over our southern border. That
will be difficult thing to establish,
and when established, if that is pos
sible, it does not necessarily stand as a
cause of Intervention in the troubled
affairs of Mexico. If it develops as
distinctly "unfriendly actv on the part
of the Mexican administration it
stands as cause for specific protest and
possibly may develop into cause of
action. At present it merely adds to
the irritation.
