Party Solidarity

Walter W. Magec. congressman
from the Syracuse. New York. district.
uttered the following splendid patri.
otto sentiment
This is essentially a government Of
parties. not of men. Great and nee
essary reforms can be instituted and
carried to completion only through
party solidarity. The formation cs
'blocs.' each insisting that a public
official shall comply with its de-
mands as the price of its political
support. is. in my Judgment. one OF
the gravest facing the coun-
try today. and II persisted in and car
ried to a logical conclusion, will mean
the destruction OF our form of gov
eminent
The public has the right to say to
a public ervant:
First. You must not violate your
oath of office.
Second. You must serve 40 inter
est except the public interest
I stand unreservedly for those two
fundamental propositions. I would
emulate. so far as lies within my
power. the fun measure of devotion
which these totally disabled heroes.
on the threshold of lives full of
promise, gave to their country.
1 am an American, through and
through, who makes no distinction be-
tween American born and American
~naturallzed. While we arc the melt
ing pot Of the world. we have the
best government on earth. a govern
ment that affords ample protection to
life and property, a government that
guarantees to all absolute equality be-
fore h law. regardless of C color
or creed. This is our government. not
a democracy. but a republic, a repre-
sentative form of government worth
fighting for and worth dying for. Let
us never forget hat "the men who
make a nation great are the men who
dare to die" I stand for the repub-
lic-indivisible and indissoluble-first,
last, and all the time.

Inpading Fundamentals

THE PRESIDENT has just made this solemn
L statement which is sure TO find responsive echo
in every true American heart:
''The foremost thought in the constitution is the
right to freedom and the pursuit f happiness. Men
must be free to live and achieve. Liberty is gone in
right to work and live by that work. 1t does not
matter who denies"
Organization such as the Ku K1ux or any similar
association of selfappointed regulators of public
or private morals or conduct who first whip and
then run out of town those who do not please them
the murderers at Herrin, Ill, the capitalists who
grind wages down below living possibilities, the
unions who forbid others to work in the places they
vacate on strike may all well give careful consider
atom to the words the president has uttered.

Forced Marriages

when the cave man wanted a wife
he wen scouting and dragged M
home" notes the New York Herald
Sometimes he disfigured her tempo
rarly in the course of capture. A
any rate, she had to come whether
she wanted &c or not. When men
grew moro civilized they went to the
father of the woman they wanted
and handed over a big pile of skins
or herded a few head of cattle to the
paternal door. II there were enough
skins or enough cattle to satisfy the
old man they got without further
trouble the wife they wanted.
This later practice, in a modified
form. is not unknown today. The
young man is expected to make known
what he has in the equivalent OF skins
and cattle, but he is not ordinarily ex-
pccted to hand over any of IL % the
old man, who, as a matter Of fact.
is sometimes supposed to come for
ward with the equivalent of a few
cattle himself.
Nov cai then there are throw
backs ito moro E;Innfve marriage
customs. In tbs supreme court re-
Gently Justice Louis NJ Martin Az
nulled the marriage of a young Ital-
ian woman who had been coerced INTO
a marriage with a man who was dis
tasteful to her. He had bargained
with her father and obtained his con-
sent. Threats of violence were used
against the girl and her family.
When he CAV his Judgment Jus
tice Martin said that the practice of
forcing marriages in this manner was
prevalent among people of foreign
birth in this state. He denounced it
a cause of unhappiness and crime.
THE laws of New York state pro-
vide that anybody who marries a
woman without her consent is liable,
If convicted. to 10 years Imprisonment
and a 81, 200 fine. There is a similar
penalty for tho use of force in mar
rying a girl less than IS years old
without the consent Of her parents.
The means by which to prosecute this
evil are at hand. Justice Martin rec
ommends drastic action.
1T is utterly repugnant to The moral
sense of modern society that girls
should be bought and sold in mar
riaGe without their consent. 1t is
bad enough that they arc often bought
and sold with their consent while
society looks on approvingiy. 1t is
not within the power of government
to correct that evil, but the n
against which Justice Martins censure
is directed can and should be at
tackled"

"A Mans House.
COLLECTOR RIsLEY of the dep;

COLLECTOR RISLEY of the department of labor
says: Immigration laws of the United States
limiting the influx of foreign-born persons to this
country, are justified when it, is considered that
it is the duty of the government to protect Amer
lean ideals and safeguard its citizens.
"The United States government has the same
right to close the gates of Ellis Island to undesir-
able aliens as the head of a family has TO protect
his home. But it is essential that the small quota
of immigrants admitted under the strict laws adj
ministered by the immigration authorities be vel
coined whole-heartedly by the American public.
Immigrants who pass the tests at Ellis Island
are worthy of the friendship and advice of their
American neighbors Tt is the solemn duty of every
American citizen who loves his country and who
cherishes the principles for which George Washing.
ton fought to see to it that the foreign-born resi-.
dents are assisted in their struggle to understand
the meaning of good citizenship. BY so doing we
VIII be safeguarding our economic institutions and
1nsuring the spread of patriotism"
Mr.. Risleys sentiments find ready approval by
every American citizen worthy of that proud title.
1t is important that the country realize that no i'm.
migration law, no matter how strict, can do for the
nation what must be done in the assimilation of
those who come to these shores. Immigrants who
pass at Ellis Island and who remain here must be
come either an asset or a liability to the nation
which depends upon whether they become good
Americans or persist in remaining foreigners living
in a. to them, foreign land. This is a question which

Lodge Furnishes Figures

Senator Henry Cabot Lodge Of
Massachusetts, says:
"The total trade ratio of 1891 tc
1913 is 1874 in the United States, 107
in the United Kingdom. ia in France
and 80 in Germany. 1t is not merely
that We have held our trade with less
diminution than any other country
but we rave improved 1t over the
preswar basis. Despite the hard times
and the general decline throughout
h world OF all trade, we have kept
our lead and improved our situation.
Il will now give some direct figures.
These come from the department OF
commerce. and I shall give nothing
below the thousands. In 1918 tine ex-
ports of the United States were s2,-
s64.5oo, 900 and in 1921 they were
S4,4S5, 100 900. In the United King.
dom in 1918 the exports were So, os9,.
$4,000 and in 1921 S3,l1s, SIS 900,
showing that while we have nearly
doubled u exports as compared with
1913, in the year 1921. which was the
worst year from a business point OF
view that we nave had. Great Britain
has not attained to the pre-war level,
and at the pre-war level she exported
nearly a billion dollars more than we
did.
France IN 1918 exported s1,sz7 $50.
900 and In 1921 exported $1,6o6, $40,
900. 1t is remarkable, in my judg
ment, that France and Great Britain
have recovered 70 far as they have
Germany exported in 1918 S2,403. 142,
900. a total OF more than we EXPORTED
in that veal and her export in thu
year 1921 were 1855, 2s2, 900. The
ratio Of 1921 to 1918 was, the Unitef
States 1911. the United Kingdom 1of
France 121. and Germany 80.
w hear a great deal about de
stroytng our imports and therefore be

them. In 1913 the imports were 81.

Light the Platte Bridge

A concrete bridge spans the Platte
"a river west of the refineries. 1t has been in use
some two years or more. People have but a dim rec
election of the old wooden bridge that formerly
bore the traffic at this point. When the bridge was
built provision was made for lighting it. Conduits
are all in place and the wiring installed. All that
yet remains to be done is to place suitable light
standards and connect up with the Light plant.
1t would be a mighty fine thing if the board of
county commissioners would take the matter up
and complete the work as it vas originally in
tended.
1t is certain the travelling public would more
than appreciate public lighting at this point and
aside from the benefits, ornamental lighting would
add materially TO the beauty of a noble structure.
