Ellis Island.

Conditions at Ellis Island and the
treatment of immigrants there" We're
under criticism in the house of COM
mons yesterday, and the undersecre-
tary for foreign affairs was interro-
gated on the subject. This is taken
from a London press cable:
Sir Harry Britain. member for the
Action division of Middlesex asked
whether it was not far better for
British emieTants to go to some sec
tion of the empire. MIR. Mcneil did
not reply. but the question evoked
cheers from the ministerial benches.
British emigrants prefer the United
States. They find larger opportuni,
Ties here. The English speech makes
them feel at home from the start, and
they thrive.
Just now Canada. who stands in
need of population. is losing many of
her people to this country. and COM
planning about it. She is taking steps
to toll them back. if it is possible. by
appealing to their patriotism. At the
same time she is offering special in
ducements to American farmers in
the northwest to cross over and be-
come British subjects.
Criticisms of the arrangements for
receiving and handling immigrants at
Ellis Island are too often heard. The
matter should be investigated, and if
changes are advisable they should be
made. The country should be hos
pitable toward those seeking homes

got home. All her life she has been
getting into holes and getting out of

day as escapades that helped her TO
better understand her own children.
She believes in making children feel
their own responsibility.
When she was not yet four years
old Winifred made her first saunter
into political life. Her father, the

Caruso's Candle.

y New York firm has manufactured
a candle sixteen feet high and five
feet in circumference at the base
which is to be shipped to Italy and
burned in the Church of Our Lady
of Pompeii, in memory of EnricC
Caruso. 1t is suggested that the
candle shall be lighted each All Souls
day and burned for twenty-four hours
and that, burned thus one day each
year, it will be eighteen centuries be-
fore the flame in the great singer :
memory flickers out for the last time.
Such a memorial makes powerful
appeal to the ina agination, but in the
photographic records of Caruso's
wonderful voice he has a memorial
which may we'll outlast even this
long-burning candle. The flame of a
candle is. after all, but feeble
thing, and it might we'll be that as
the centuries passed Caruso would
become more famed for his candle
Than for his gift Of song. But music
is not only a universal language, it
also is the language of all time, and
twice eighteen hundred years from
now men may hear Caruso's voice and
marvel at a gift SO divine.
And will they marvel. also, at the
genius of an age which made possible
d memorial such as this. or will they
pity us for the crudities of the time
in which we live? When Caruso's
candle has burned out the world will
have advanced just about as far
from his day as we of the present
have advanced from Saint Cecilia's s.
Could we have a reproduction today
of Cecilia's music would it enrapture
us, or would it seem crude to ears
which have been charmed by the
notes Caruso sang?

No Halfway Measures.

The administration merchant ma

Congress should reject it and find
some other solution fo.' cur three
billion-dollar shipping problem. If it

Il fair chance tn work out success

not do is to pretend to pass the bill.
hut to ham string it with amendments
which would make the program un-
workable.
AS President Harding wrote to SEN
ator Jones in opposition to the Mad
den amendment. if the thing is worth
doing it is worth doing right, and
thinking men will agree with him
when he says: Il cannnt help but
feel l would rather the measure
should fail entirely than 10 have one
enacted which will bring, us extreme
disappointment. because We have en-
tered upon Il program in :, half
hearted and rather Indifferent way
The President makes ii very clear
that the Madden amendment. which
would require the Shipping Board to
apply TO Congress annually FOR ap-
propriatioHs IL continue the AID pro-
posed. would seriously jeupardiZe the
prospects that private capital would
he found to take over and operate the
ships now owned by the government.
and, unless private capital can he in
duced to engage in the shipping in
dustry, the hiilion-doliiir mcr-
chant marine problem will not be
solved. Mr. Harding's explanation as
to why such a provision is imprac-
teal is very automatically and very
courteously set forth. but every one
knows that the proposed subsidy"
would not attract private capital if it
was left to the caprice of Congress
to cut it off at the end Of any year.
The ten-year period provided in the
original bill is sufficient time to
give capital sense ofsecurity and
at the same time provides 4 safe
guard against perpetual drain on the
Treasury.
The President does not assume that
the Madden amendment was intended
to destroy the effectiveness of the
measure. but other amendments have
been and undoubtedly will be offered
with that purpose in view. Both
those members of Congress who
would openly and frankly defeat the
l.ill and those who would destroy it
with throttling amendments assume
Il responsibility to which the Ameri-
can people inevitably will hold them.
The administrations merchant ma
rine bill is d constructive effort to
solve one of the most serious and
difficult problems inherited from the
war. To defeat it without offering any
thing constructive in its stead would
he as poor craftsmanship as it would
be poor business. and it would be the
poorest kind of politics. 1t might
win present applause from the un-
thinking, but when the great body
of the people get down to serious
thinking on this problem, as sooner
or later they must. the position of
the mere obstructionist is not going
to be pleasant one.

Many burn has been suffered from
this cause, and the dropping Of ashes
upon the clothes Of persons is not un-
naturally resented.
Perhaps a way to make the rule uni
form and protect all passengers from
the contamination Of the air or the
menace of blowing or smudgy stumps
would be to provide a parking sys.

ished fragments may check them at
the door on entrance. The Public
Utilities Commission is urged to con-
slider this as means of relieving the
car-riding public from a nuisance.
Some day a passenger may suffer a
severe injury from burning cigar,
and the question will arise whether
the responsibility rests upon the own
er who has violated the rule, or upon
the company that has not enforced it.

Smokers and Street Cars.

In the street cars Of this city are
posted signs forbidding smoking in
the cars or the carrying into them of
lighted Smokes" In the main this
rule is strictly observed by passengers,
but there are some who take advan-
tage of the crowds and the inability Of
conductors to watch everybody and
everything correctively, and they
carry smoldering "snipes" into the
cars. greatly to the discomfort of
others. Even smokers do not like the
trickle of stale smoke from a slowly
dying and often questionable brand of
tobacco. Sometimes this is habit, the
habit of preservation and conserva-
ton. Again it is a bit of defiance of
rule. But whatever the motive, the ef-
feet is the same, the pollution Of the
air in the car and the actual endanger-
ment Of passengers. A lighted cigar Is
not a particularly safe appendage,
whether in hand or mouth. in such

W YHEN the late Col. Theodore

" " secretary of the Navy he
had little nat tience with

had little patience with
some Of the regulations that were in
sisted upon by the men in the serv-
prerogatives of his office in order to
get something done. and done quickly.
For instance, Lieut.. Commander Free
man. known to his associates as
"Frisky' Freeman, who was in charge
of the Marblehead. received an order
one day to proceed to Cuba at once.
For some reason, not explained, the
Marblehead was not provided with its
full complement of anchors. Free
man applied to the commandant of
the navy yard where the Marblehead
was dockcd. only to be informed that
it was impossible to supply him with
an anchor except upon proper red
uiSition. duly approved. etc. etc. AL
though "Frisky" declared that he
could not wait, as the orders to move
were imperative. the officer in charge
remained obdurate, so Freeman pro-

ship. Just before he reached her an

rected his men to attach Il strong
hawser tn it. This was done and he
pulled out, dragging the anchor from
the docks into the water. from which
il was afterward lifted on board and
placed in position.
AS soon as the act was discovered
charges were preferred against him
and he faced ii court-martial. He
was found guilty and sentenced to be
reduced thirty numbers. In the mean
time, however. the man who was
afterward to be President of the
United States had been tipped off. and
when the findings appeared on Roosc-
velt's desk he sent for the members

victed. The dignified members of the
court -martial declared that he violat-
ed regulations. whereupon the ex-
asperated assistant secretary of th.
Navy demanded to see the regulations.

and handed them to r. X. The latter
