NOT HUGHES. VIEWS,

Those who criticized Secretary Hughes oeneefning what was alleged to be his report urging rigid immigration restric- lions did Sc under the klpposition that he had made such recommendations, bat developments show that nothing of the kind has come from the secretary of state as expressing his views regarding immigration.
 The situation discioees that an irjus- tiee has been done to the secretary inas. much as he had no intentions of making suggestions regarding. immigration and eid not make any. What he did do was b respond to a request for "the iafesl EVailAbae information concerning the Hunbers and nationaiities of aliens whr are contemplating emigration to tht United States frvn abroad" and 1t va. h the furnishing of such information From the department to the chairman O he immigration committee, acccrnpanie, by explanations and abstracts of report eoncerning immigration from officials o the government who have been abroat that the stery got abroad that he has expressed himself on immigration an sxpressed himsesf vigorously for rigi sestrietien.
 Some of those who criticized Secretar Hughes doubted very much if he sai what was attributed to him. They wer correct in their doubt and as it Is no, disclosed the whole matter appears t have been 50 grossly mtsinterpreted a to place the secretary in an entirely fals fight
 That he has views upon the questio of immigration Is not to be doubtet That he has not taken occasion to @ press them and has made no recsmmer : dations in that direction cannot be tc widely circulated in order to offset u claim that he had and the injustice whie certain peeple may feel has been daz by something which he is not responsib fer. The blame should of eeurss re where it belongs and it Is nnfortunai that the statements were attributed 1 any other than those who made them.

IN THE DAYS NEWS
sTElkAMAhcER

Perhaps it was not without deep sentimental reasons that former Em- peror Charles, of Austria Hungary, chose the town of Steinamanger = to the Hungarians, Szombathely as a
 place from which he hoped to receive
 the acclaim of his former subjects as
 their returned ruler" says a bulletin from the Washington, D. C., head
 quarters of the National Geographic Society.
 Tt has been the cherished policy
 of the Hapsburg rulers of Austria- Hungary to rejuvenate the old Holy
 Roman Empire the Frankish and later the Germanic Union which claim | ed to be the heir to the power and overlordship of Rome. The affiliations | of what was AustFo- Hungarian ter
 ritory before the World War with the
 old Roman Empire were perhaps
 closer through Steinamanger than .I through any other town. The present | town is in the site of the Roman sabria, which was the capital of on,
 of the chief divisions of Pannpnia-
 the name given by the Romans to thu l province which covered the heart O
 modern Austria-Hungary.
 "Sabria's history was that of man,

THE BOLIVAR MEMORIAL.

Much significance of course attaches to the unveiling of the monument to Si- mon Bolivar in New York city at which President Harding made an address this week, inasmuch as it cannot fail to dem onstrate the attitude of this country to- ward one who had taken such g eonspic- uous part in the history of four South American countries.
 We'll has 1t been said that Bolivar was to South America what Washington was as leader and was placed at the head Of the governments of envezuela. Colom- bia, Peru and Bolivia and because of his q aracter and accomplishments was es. teemed as a great Aberator. It was as the result of his visit to the United States in 1909 when 2e. years of age thai caused him to join the party of inde. pendence in Venezuela and he was giver | an important post to defend in 1911 or the declaration of Venezuelan independ ence. He was not daunted by the fac 1 that the frsts efforts were failures. H. kept consistently at his opposition to tn,
 royalist forces, succeeded and was re garded as the hero of independence. H,
 became the first president of the Colon
 bian republic in 1921 and suecessivel.
 went to the assistance of other countrie 1 in that part of South America ant his life and his fortune were given ;prac
 ticaIly for the Liberalization of Soul
 America, and while conditions made
 necessary for him at the time to assum
 what seemed to be the attitude of die l tator it was later realized that such wa not hts purpose and full value given t T the D ct he took in aronsing the spirit c
 liberty and independence in that cont nent.
 South America has repeatedly pal homage to him. It is with full rex ognition of his services during his 4 years that homage is paid to him b this country in the unveifing of the m, merial to his memory in New York. LII l, many others Bolivars services to his pet

LOOKING AFTER THE CHILDREN.

Interest cannot fail to attach to the situation which has developed concerning the child welfare commission which has been proposed at the present session of the general assembly. Under the pFovis- ions of the child welfare bill which calls for the appropriation of $1se,ooo to es- tablish this commission and carry on the work of caring for the small children of the state who are dependent and nege lected it is planned to have well paid executive with nine supervisors. The new board would be given work that is now taken care of by the state board of charities.
 That the work which is planned for the new commission could be as we'll taken care of by the present beard, and would have been undertaken before this had provision been made for the expense would indicate that at this time when the state is in need of all the funds # has and some that it hasn't, careful con- sideration ought to be given to the state ment which has been made by different members of the present board to the Azsnct that the projected work can be efficiently rx>ten care of for less than half that Is asked for by the new com. mission.
 If as claimed by the secretary of tht board of charities the supervisor thai will be required by extending their dtties to include the care of children under foul throughout the state requiring 1t can b, accomplished for 5.Qeo, and tine entir, appropriation for the state board of char ities need be but $94,ooo in order u take care of present duties and the addi tionai ones, there needs to be careful at tention given to this before ifduigins ii the expenditure of s1eo,o0o for the sam purpose
 It is to be believed that this will ge the careful consideration of the appro priation committee, that this chance t save ss6.0o0 will not be overlooked an. mat those who are experienced in tn york of booking after the welfare of chil nfen win not only be endorsed but give The chance which they have long seugf to extend this work.

GRApr uRoesrNas.

New Jersey is noted for the swift man. ner in which justice Is dealt out there. Likewise 1t is also getting much atten- ton from the number of it's grade cross ing fatalities, the latest of which prac- tically wipes out an entire family.
 In this particular instance 1t does not appear certain whether it was a case where the car was stalled on the track or whether there was an attempt to beat the engine over the intersection. but whatever the circumstances it emphasizes anew the necessity for giving due respect to such danger points even though it does involve a half minute delay. There Is TO more excuse in trying to beat a train to a crossing and expecting to ac- ccmplish it without harm than there is to figure on taking part in a collision and having the injuries confined to the locomotive.
 The unguarded crossings represent a serious menace, There are those who succeed in racing trains to such points and getting ever first, but it can be safe ly figured that sooner or later the en- zine is going to win and when that hap pens death and frightful injuries can be relied upon to follow. Taking such
 
 chances involves a penalty that is un- fortunately too often disregarded. The Every knowledge of the existence of the crossing. the warning signs or perhaps a signal or nagman should be sufficient to guide the aetiens of the driver of all vehicles in the way to protect himself and these who are with him. He has 8 responsibility which. should never be tot lightly shouldered but which seems to bt disregarded in a large number of in stances, regardless of the many instance. where the folly of such conduct is glar ingiy set forth.
 Happy will be tAe time when the da, marking the passing of the last of tn, grade crossings arrives It will, howeve hs some distant time in the future, wher there will probably continue to be plent, of dangerous highway conditions to cal for the exercise of care on the part o the users, but until it comes the import ance of showing due respect to such evi dent dangers cannot be too greatly em phaAzed. Such crossing are of cours just as dangerous in other states as the are in New Jersey.

Gods Time Not Standard Fane.

Opponents of daylisht-saving have been eloquent in demanding adherence to Gods time" But whatever Gods time" may be, standard time was moi known until 1883. It was an arbitrary convenience adopted by the railroads to avoid the. confusion arising from the uss of sectional time standards throughout the country. Standard time is doubtless an advance on nature, But it is net na. ture. If one had lived in springneld befsr. 1883 he would have appreciated the de sirabiity of uniform time, whether tru. to nature or not trains on the Bagtof and Albany were operated by BostoI time.
