lie that no nation lives to itself alone, and
that if Mexico is to prosper and develop it
must take it's place among the other nations
that extend hospitable hand to outside en-
ergy, ideas and capital. This is plainly the
group who are directing the revolt against
the selfish and medieval policies of Car
rama and his hackers, whose chief sport
consisted in batting foreign enterprise and
capital and OF placing all possible obstacles
in the way Of any enterprise which was not
for their own particular benefit"

make common cause, times incomparably
better than those of the last turbulent dec

The United States is abundantly recon-

Dor. Now that a friendlier order of things
is promised across the border, we can well
afford to continue a magnanimous policy.

The Immigrant Tide Turns
Toqvard These Shores Again.

A FTER ebbing to a mere trickle in the
~ last year of the World War our i'm
migrant tide gives signs of rolling
strong again. Arrivals at the port of New York
recently aggregated upwards of ten thou
sand for a single week, at which rate
twevemonth's total would exceed half mil
lion. This, of course, is far below the pre-
war average, which in the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914, reached million, two
hundred and eighteen thousand, four hun
dred and eighty.
Those figures are not likely to be approx
mated in the future, even though we
should loosen restrictions to their old lax
ness. Five summers of fighting and tour
winters of beggarly feeding served to reduce
the sources whence Americas immigrant
flood was wont to pour. It is not improbable,
moreover, that several European govern
ments would prohibit departures II the out
flow became as heavy as in years gone; for
whereas aforetime each emigrant meant SIM
ply one mouth less to feed, each now means
one less pair OF hands to work or to help
supply the yawning tax till. Authorities be-
lieve accordingly that insofar as excess IN
numbers is concerned, our immigration PROB
lem will be much simpler than hitherto.
Nevertheless there is need of well consld-
cred measures against the admission OF un-
desirable aliens of whom multltudes are
said to be awaiting chance to sail tor these
shores. Surely, our recent experience Win
anarchistic and morally irresponsible types
should make us exceedingly careful IN the
future. Nor should we ever go back TO the
short-sighted policy of admitting immigrants
by hundreds Of thousands and millions re-
CARELESS of whether the country is aole
economically to assimilate them and to ab-
sorb them politically.
This is not to imply that the gates should
be shut against those who will add to the
nations productveness. If there is one out
standing material need in this country today
it is the need of willing and capable work
ers. For lack of hands nearly all Industries

I'm Mjustic to the South and to
The Common Country.
TN their movement to redress the grave
/ injustice done the South in the omission

IN their movement to redress the grave
of Confederate names from the Airing
ton memorial amphitheater, the United
Daughters of the Confederacy and other lead
ers in this high effort merit full-hearted sup
port from the common country. For it is
not the South alone but all America that
would be wronged if in a building designed
to honor the nations warriors from the days
OF Lexington and Concord to Chateau Thierry
and Argonne Wod there should be no ref
erence to the heroes who fought beneath the
Stars and Bars.
Their valor, their genius, their knightli-
ness, though peculiarly sacred to Southern
folk, are the heritage of all America. Their
achievements are the marvel of all readers
of history, abroad as well as here, and are
still the basis for essential military studies
throughout the world. 1t is not simply the
sentiment of the South but the judgment of
informed and thoughtful minds everywhere
that history holds few soldiers the peers of
Stonewall Jackson, and no character more
noble than Robert E. Lee To omit names
like these from shrine of the republics
soldiership would be egregiously foolish as
we'll as unjust. Indeed, it seems inexplicable,
save on grounds of a strange misunderstand-
ing of Congress- spirit and purpose in pro-
vidng for the memorial, that the commission
charged with selecting names for entablature
should have failed to. include representatives
OF the Confederate armies. In THIS DAY ana
time, when two generations Of Southern
youth, sons and grandsons Of Confederate
sires, have swarmed to battle under the Stars
and Stripes and given their lives by gallant
thousands in it's defense, we cannot conceive
of sectionalism so churlish and ignorant as
to deny the Old South's chieftains their sim
pie due.
The astounding fact is, however, that the
memorial amphitheater has been construct
ed and dedicated, with never a tablet or
line to those deathless names. Naturally the
Daughters Of the Confederacy and other pa
triotic institutions in the South, together with
unnumbered individuals, are protesting; and
just as naturally multtudes of right-minded,
right-hearted Americans in other regions
share the feeling. 1t is beautifully significant
and altogether appropriate that Representa-
tive Sherwood of Ohio, distinguished veter-
an Of the Union army who fought in more
than thirty battles and who is now eighty
four years old, has introduced in the House
a resolution calling for rectiication of the
wrong which has been done the South and
the common country. A similar measure has
been introduced in the Senate. by Senator
Overman, of North Carolina.
The matter is being urged with the ear
nestness of deep conviction and high pa
triotism; and it should continue to be urged
until justice is forthcoming.

Better Times Are Promise d
South OF the Rio Grande.
TT is frequently observed and highly en-
couraging circumstance that the leaders

TT is frequently observed and highly en-
couraging circumstance that the leaders
of the new movement in Mexico are
manifesting careful regard for the lives and
interests of foreigners. This policy is the
more noticeable and refreshing because of
its rarity under the fallen regime. Carran-
was never friendly to Americans and sell
dom so to any others who came to cast
their lot with his country, unless they bore
the stamp of Berlin. In the wars crucial pc
riod, when other Latin American republics
were taking gallant stand with the United
States for justice and democracy, he was
undisgusedly pro-German.
This was but one exhibition of the short
sightedness and perversty which character
lied his administration and brought Mex
ico's affairs into SO grievous a tangle. Wheth-
er the fault lay with Carranza himself or
with his associates or in the temper of the
times (and it must be admitted that these
were greatly to his Disadvantage the fact
remains that the years of his rule were al
most as barren of progress as were those of
the internal war and confusion from which
he rose to power. There was no encourage
ment to the country's liberal and construc-
tive minds to cooperate with the so-called
Government at Mexico City, nor was there
any responsiveness in that quarter to the
good will of the United States. Constructive
undertakings, if lucky enough to get even
a start, had to fight their way against sand
blind politics. Banditry went uncontrolled
and we'll nigh unchallenged by the Federal
authorities. Foreign investors, even those of
the worthiest and most substantial type, had
scant assurance of bare justice, much less a
heartening friendiness, from the powers that
were. From such a regime next to nothing
was to be hoped for, and assuredly nothing
to rejoice in was forthcoming.
While it is yet too early to gauge the
strength of the newly mustered forces or to
predict how we'll their several Ieadings will
accord nearly all reports agree that the
prospect is distinctly brighter than it has
been for many day or for many year. SO
informed and conservative institution as
the National City Bank of New York declares
concerning the outlook: cit is safe
to say that in spite Of difficulties which may
follow the attempts Of the reactionary ele-
ment to maintain itself in power, the even
tual condition of Mexico will certainly be
better within six months than it has been
in many years. Mexico has a patriotic and
highly educated group of citizens who rea-

CURRENT EVENTS OF INTEREST

Word received here from st. Louis
states that in a signed confession,
Dick Smythe, chum of Horace Wal
ton, who was killed after robbing an
Illinois Central train of $1O5,0O0 near
Chicago last Saturday, said that he
had been engaged by Walton as bus
mess agent" and knew of the plans
for the robbery, federal officials an
nounced.
SrSythe's duties, according to the
confession, were to assist Walton in
the disposal of bonds and other loot
obtained in his robberies. No salary
was stipulated, but Smythe was told
that he would be paid literally.
Walton had Smythe look up rail-
to other preliminaries. Smythe is
nineteen years old. Walton was
twenty-five.
According to advices received at
Washington, DR.. Rritsjof hansen,
Norwegian explorer, probably will
head the organization to be set up by
the League Of Nations for the pur-
pose of repatriating 100000 German,
Austrian and other war prisoners
still held in Russia.
Reports to be submitted to the
league council at Rome this month
say that unless these men are res
cued from their prison camps IN ST.
IBERIA before next winter few are
likely to survive. They have been in
captivity for five years.
Dr. Nansen was mentioned during
discussions at Paris last year of
steps toward sending food relief to
the captives Word has reached
Washington that he already has been
asked if he would be willing to serve
as the agent of the league in at
tempting the repatriation.
He had considerable experience
with food questions during the war,
having headed the Norwegian mis-
sion sent to the United States In
1917 to negotiate for needed supplies
for his own country.
Word has come to us from Dublin
that Countess Georgia MarkleVlcz'
Sim Fein member of Parliament
whose whereabouts has long been
mystery, made theatrical reappear-
ance, clad in commandments Uniform
recently at an open air meeting IN
Croker Park in memory of the mem
bers of the Irish Republican Parlla-
ment who were executed after or
killed during the rebellion of 1916.
The countess delivered an address,
in which she appealed for support for
Irish industries. On March II the
police raided the residence of Mrs.
| Demann de Valera, wife Of the Sim
Fein leader, in search of the coun-
tess.
The police barracks in Germans
