Then. W hat Is His Motive?

The Mcrning News expresses confidence
in its assumption that If Senator Ball IS.
AZ reported, opposed to the pending
measure for the restriction of immiera-
tion, il is not for the reason advanced in
Every Evenings Washington correspon-
dence, that he fears such legislation might
cost the Republican party the foreign vote
IL received SO solidly throughout the eoun-
try at the November election II also
expresses confidence that Senator Bah is
thinking Of the matter in terms q Aneri-
canism, not in the terms p politics"
But before indulRing in this entirely
voluntary assurance, we would ask our
ncighbor to give thought TO one instance
Of Senator Balls solicitude for nj least one
element Of our foreign vote. Can It not
recall how promptly and energeticaily, on
the first appearance of the Hume con-
troversy, he announced to the country
Il think Italy should have Fiume2'
That was during the political campaign.
What was his motive ther7
However, time may tell But il is not
unreasonable, in view Of what we know,
to expect Senator Ball to look upon the
immigration question more from the
partisan than from the American point
of view

II is hoped the legislature viii not
forget TO make provision for 8 proper
division Of some OF the election districts
in the State, especially in Sussex and
Kent counties, where such large vote
had TO be handled last election day The
fact that the work was done successfully
at that election, which was highly ciedr-
able to all concerned, is not an assurance
that like results will be possible hereafter
Election districts where the registered
vote viii exceed 500 certainly should be
divided, even though il may be humanity
possible, as was sAown last November,
to handle a much larger number.

THE CAFETERIA

We stand with trays and wait our
turns, a long, long line Of hungry
guys. while appetite within us
xearns for Hubbard squash and
custard pies. Before US there are
many iAys who fool and fiddle. which
is wrong, and so we wait and wave
our trays and wish the bunch would
move along. One graybeard can't
make up his mind between roast
pork and shredded veal. and while
he,doubts the mob behind must all
the pangs of hunger feel. One
woman stops, a row to raise, be-
cause the soup is halfway cold: and
while she Jaws we clasp our travs
feel ourselves grow frail and old We
all must Wait until our turn, in vain
are protests and appeals though
while we're waiting we could earn
the price of fourteen useful meals
Ii is a modern way to feed, and mod
ern things. we know, are best old
ways, old times, are gone TO seed, old
restaurants are but Jest. We used
to Journey home az noon, before old
ways were proven frauds, and there
devour the wholesome prune, sur
rounded by our household gods.
And then we'd have a little suooze,
to rest our bones so tried and sore,
and, having slept. put on our shoes,
aud go downtown TO work some
more. But we've forsaken old
time ways, from ancient things
afar we roam: and now we stand
and hug our trays, and wait until
the cows come home.

There are many women inmates of the

could be better interpreted by managers
Of their own ssx than by less sympathetic
men. In such work as this the women
can always excel men, especially practical
women who possess large measure Of
