AND WITH REGARD TO LAW.

More impressive than the number
Of the 249 agit2tors deported IN q body
from the hand whose freedom they had
abused is the fact that their punishment
Is in strict accordance with the law They
were allowed to avail themselves Of every
technicslity. III their fate there Is no
"lynchLg." They are paving the penalty
provided in the Immigration act OF 1917
and the act Of 1913 for persons proved
guilty Of advocating or teaching anarchy
To argue that such deportation viii not
stop the growth of ideas is to beg tho
question Most people think It worth while
to do what can he done TO prevent the
stirring up of bad impulses
The dep0rtations are especially striking
because they are made by country whose
welcome to the oppressed Of MI nati1nali-
ties il proverbial 1t cannot be denied that
there has grown up feeling that American
hospitality was being violated. Even the
kindest-hearted person does not invite
strangers TO make themselves ut home by
starting bonGres in the middle Of the
living-room This feeling is sometimes
given hysterIcal expression, as III the pro-
nouncement that anybody who IL bit
free with his tongue should be stood up
against wall and shot. The true American
policy is to abjure Mysteries, and to per
sist in the demonstration that law IL IN
compatible, not with liberty, but with
license.-New York Evening Post

AIOv'LY WARNING.
By W. w. Whitclock.

o labor, watch the pig,
For you can learn from him;
Though little, fat or big.
lie still knows how to swim.
II in the water he
Should fall, he straightway starts
To strike ont vahantly-
lie needs no maps or charts.
lie doesn't give n groat
How many others drown;
Yet swimming cuts his throat,
And thus himself goes down.

OF course, we also see thousands and
thousands Of children denied even the
semblance Of these rights. Here in our
CITY are hundreds Of babies and little
ones to whom poverty denies even the
commonest physical needs. Here are
hosts of child workers, sacrificing the
foundations Of health and morals IN q
struggle to earn bread and shelter
Throughout the land such conditions are
everywhere present IL some measure. 1t is
to light up the darkness Of these condi-
tons, Sc the great tree 10 the playground
lights the night, that the Community
Service and kindred organizations are
doing their divine work. We used the
word advisedly. If caring for children IS
not divine, tnen our common conception
OF the term Is mochery.
Into the miserable excuses for homes,
where its memory Will serve TO brighten
many dark and hopeless hour, the
Community Service is sending knowledge
the oene eFectfve enemy Of that igno-
rance which is at the root Of all mIsshapen
things and conditions.
And into the homes Of the rich and cuI-
tured is sending a call for help Ii the
form Of knowledge which will overcome
greed-that other parent Of social wrongs
which breed poverty and ali its crimes
and horrors.

Hall. IN Philadelphis, TO join company
of brave men who pledged their lives,
their fortunes and their sacred honor IN q
declaration that ST men are endowed
With the unalienable rights Of life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness: and then
vent out to conquer the enemies Of their
proposition.
They did not in that declaration speca-
ficaIlv mention the child. This was strange,
for it then was nearly eighteen centurle
sincs one had taken little child out Of the
midst and held HIM up to al the years as
the first and greatest consideration.
But when they struck for freedom. they
struck for the child.

ard great faiths have altered the minds q
men. Lust for gold and craving Tor powe'
and place have swept tho human current
hither and thence, dccrccing thus tn

All the while has been developing our
greatest asset Of the present--the home
And. of course, no home cnn be cailee

nIucked before blossom-time by hand

In the Home is anchored our every hope
for the future. AS the winds sweep its
sheltering walls, so will they sweep tht
fields and hillsides of this land; so will
they bear plenty or ruin to IFS prospects.
So long as the Home is sa fe, the natior
is safe
But the Home rs only the Mother and
the Child
The Mother may be beyond changing,
or there still may be left to her possibiii-
ties Of advance. In any event, her IN
fiuencc can be bettcred by wise and tender
guidance.
But the Child n fresh field, yet TO be
sown and tended and yet to b1ing forth n
harvest.
However poor and lcwiy its parentage;
however squaiid and nolsomc its sur
roundings, the Child ID ours to 20 sur
round and care for that a strong, useful
man or woman may be the harvest.
The hand of the Child born in the man

church, men passed by the Child IN the
