A. The third Sunday in June mas
been set aside as Fathers Day. Mrs
John Bruce Dodd was the founder
of this day and the Y. M. c. A. and
Ministerial Association of Spokane

attention of the people throughout
the country. Fathers Day was first
celebrated in Spokane in 1910, and
proved such a success that in 1914
congress recognized Fathers Day as
a national institution. A colored rose

that is fortunate. Long before a
medical student becomes a physician
he is able to meet his friends with
out mentally saving their bones or
hacking into their tissues.
But medical students are not the
only people who thus appraise hui
mainly. 1t is easy to think of men
in terms of the tons of coal they can
mine or cubic yards of earth they
can remove, or otherwise as econ
omic units.
It is indeed necessary that there
should be men who are hewers of
wood and drawers of water, and it is
proper that they should at times be
considered in their relation to the
tasks they are capable Of perform
ing.
But human-life is more than ma
terial for dissection. 1t is more than
so much muscular energy applied to
gainful pursuits.
The first and final estimate of men
and women. and of all things relat-
ing to human life. is in terms not OF
economic production, but Of Joy or
pain. of hope or despair, of develop.
ment or DETACHMENT OF humanity.

CLEAN UNCLE SANS DOORSTEP!

CLEAN UNCLE SANS DOORSTEP!
First impressions sink deepest and last long
est.
The first impression that four out of five i'm
migrants to America get is of the Statue of Lib
erty in New York harbor. The next impress
sion is Ellis Island.
The first represents the hope that has brought
these immigrants across the seas. The second
represents their first actual contact with Amer
lean institutions.
Ellis Island is Americas doorstep. 1t is char
acterized by official ineficiency, inhumanity and
heartlessness, by physical filth, hardship. dis
ease-and sometimes-death.
II America had deliberately set out to throttle
hope and breed hatred Of American institutions
in the hearts of the newcomers to our shores
it would have made Ellis Island what 1T is.
But America is trying to impress the immi-
grant that Uncle Sans house is the best In
the world and that it wants him to become a
useful, loyal and welcome member of his house,
hold.
This is the purpose of the Americanization
movement, to which many individuals and or
CARNATIONS are devoting their labors and their
money.
While this movement is putting Uncle Sans
house in order for the immigrant, the govern
ment permits its doorstep to belle everything
within. When the immigrant reaches 1t what
does it find?
First, unsanitary quarters. New York health
authorities charge that Ellis Island give the I'M
migrant more germs than he can possibly bring
in. Filth predominates. Drinking water is
contaminated. There is a wretched shortage of
toilet facilities.
The immigrants are herded like cattle. Many
must sleep on floors. Frequently they are held
for weeks.
Who's to blame? DIR. Royal S. Copeland, health
| commissioner Of New York, says city health
officials have been barred from the island by
Commissioners Wallis. Mrs. Helen Bastedo, rep
resenting fifteen welfare organizations working
at the island, blames Wallis. Wallis passes the
buck to his superiors at Washington and to
congress.
There may doubt as to who's to blame, but
there is no doubt about who should start a
housekeeping. That Is clearly a Job for con-
rress. And it should be cleaned up in conjunc-
ton with action in pending immigration meas
ures.
We have a new administration in Washing
ton. New brooms have the reputation of sweep
ing clean.
The new administration broom should house,
clean not only Ellis Island but the whole immi-
grafton service.
President Harding has just nominated Will
lam Walker Husband to succeed Anthony Cam
| inctti as commissioner general of immigration.
But more than personnel IS involved. There
are m evils In the system that must
be corrected.
Ellis Island must be made sanitary, whole
some, human-American!
These immigrants, we all hope, will become
good American citizens. They should be given
such a clean, healthful, kindly and friendly
greeting that they will be truly American from
the start.

We don't hear much about the "Pacemaking

IT ia foolish for Perth Amboy to try to set the
mace for her sister municipalities when, as a
matter of fact, others are forging ahead so
rapidly that unless Perth Amboy wakes up
shortly and really does something, she will
never be able to overtake the leaders.
