bill for 1t passed the House 1t was
good measure, giving admission to
relatives of certain degrees Of those
who are already in this country. The
percentage quota proposition was sub
stituted in the Senate and became the
governing principle of the law. 1t has
worked hardship from the beginning.
1t put a premium on priority. 1t
stimulated a grand rush, and in that
rush many came who should never
have started. and doubtless many were
admitted who should never have been
allowed to enter.
Some heartrending stories have been
told of the inequities of the percentage
system. Some shockingly sad cases
have come to light. Families have
been divided. some members being ad.
mitted and some rejected. But it was
hardly thought it would come to the
point Of separating mother and her
infant. Perhaps it is well that this
case has occurred. 1t may stimulate
the amendment of the law and the es-
tablishment Of a sensible basis Of re-
striction that will protect this country
from undesirable and surplus inflow

Lawlessness.

Notwithstanding the laws govern
ing immigration, many foreigners to
whom they apply manage to evade
them. They object to the laws, on the
ground that they interfere with per-
sonal liberty.
The response on the part Of the au-
thorities is an increased watchfulness
at the country's gates and along the
Mexican and Canadian borders. If pos
sible, the laws are to be thoroughly
enforced. The authorities are not per-
mitted to play favorites. All laws
must look alike to them. All must be
executed.
Do not these men find Endorsement
and encouragement in the attitude and
activities of the bootleggers and their
patrons? The prohibition laws are pro-
tested and violated on the ground that
they interfere with personal liberty.
The vets, therefore, evade them, and
carry on the drink traffic with but
slight concealment.
Lawlessness begets lawlessness. The
foreigner sees the citizen picking and
choosing-obeying such laws as he
likes and violating such as he dislikes
and he decides upon the same
course. He dislikes the immigration
laws; but when after violating them
he gets a foothold in the country he
obeys such laws as he likes. and re.
mole with heat the charge Of lawlesS-
ness.

The Quota Law at Its Worst,

The utter absurdity Of the workings
OF the new immigration law setting q
fixed quota limit on admissions into
the United States. based upon the num-
ber of a particular nation here prior
to q certain date. has been illustrated
in numerous cases since It went into
effect, but no more vividly and con.
vincingly than in a ruling just report
ed from Ellis Island. Mrs. Dionisio
Zalewaska had lived in Chicago for
eleven years when she went back to
Poland with three children for visit.
While she was there another child
was born. Now, with this infant at
the age of three months, when she
presents herself on return she and her
three older children are entitled to
come in, but inasmuch as Poland's
quota has been passed the baby must
be excluded For this child was not
born In the United States, and is there.

Tenth Week of Conference.

AS the conference on the limitation
OF armament and far eastern ques-
tions enters its tenth week it enters
also upon phase Of settlements
which will largely determine the
measure Of its success. Much Of what
has gone before has led up to and is
contingent upon adjustments which
are now in hand. The present week is
likely to disclose whether the job un-
dertaken will be turned over as fin
tshed one or whether it will be rec
ord Of only partial achievement.
Shantung has the stage this week,
and the reported Chinese view of
"hope without optimism" that its
tangles will be Strengthened out will
center interest on that problem. That
both the Chinese and the Japanese
realize the importance of coming to
an agreement has been demonstrated,
and they both know that only by mu-
tual concessions can there be agree.
ment. Japan finds herself in position
where her attitude in the Shantung
matter Is taken by the world as the
test Of her good faith, and the value
OF other agreements arrived at will be
weighed by the Shantung outcome.
Japan's general course in the Wash
ington conference, though at times
her position has been difficult, has in.
measurably strengthened her in the
good opinion of the world. 1t would be
q cause for unbounded regret should
she destroy this better opinion by in.
sisting upon holding on to more in
Shantung than the world believes to
be just and right.
No service to the cause Of world
peace is rendered at this stage Of the
conference by harsh criticism. 1t is
natural and proper that the repre-
sentatives of each nation In the con-
ference will strive to serve their own
national interests. and it is only by
generous understanding Of the fact
that national interests must and will
be served that negotiations can be
forwarded. japan and all the other
powers must be made to see that their
truest national interests cannot be
served by infringement upon the
rights Of others, and, the history Of
the world being such as it Is, that is
no easy task.

Ex-presidents.

What to do with ex-Presidents has
been answered twice quite recently.
When they are young enough for
work. put them to work again.
We answered in the case Of Mr..
Taft. He was still in condition for
work-young enough, willing enough,
and better qualified than ever for
work. And work was found for him
the very work he desired. The black
silk robe of the Supreme bench fits
him perfectly. He is satisfied, and the
country assured Of impor sant serv-
ice from him in one Of its highest
tribunals.
The French have just answered in
the case of NJ. Poincare. He is young
enough for work, and returns to work
with which he is familiar. He is an
old hand at the bellows-knows his
way around in both the executive and
the legislative branches Of govern
ment. 1t is time when every French
statesman feels, and should feel. the
liveliest interest in public business,
and when France should have the
benefit of the counsels Of her most
capable sons. How long M. Poincare
will be able to hold the helm is ques-
ton. But while he holds it his coun-
try will get his views as to course and
speed.
Mr.. Wilson is not in health-not
sufficiently strong at present to under
take an official task. Otherwise. we
should probably see his friends busy
trying to clear the way for his return
to office, preferably the presidency,
but with the Senate also In view. On
the floor Of the Senate, and the leader
Of his party in the chamber. he would
be a very interesting figure.

The Newberry Case.

A regrettable feature of the New.
berry case Is the revival of an old
charge that money opens the way to
membership in the Senate, and counts
powerfully in that body when men,
bership has been secured.
The Senate has never been, is not
now. stands in no danger Of becoming,
q millionaire's club. Rich men have
served there, some Of them most USE
fully; and as many of them have been
democrats as republicans.
But wealth has never led the Sem
ate, and is not leading it today. The
great majority Of senator's have al
ways been, and are now, men Of
modest means, qualified by native
gifts and hard study for legislative
work, and have performed it absolute.
ly free from all money influences.
In the past few years the Senate
has given notable evidences of its
intellectually. The debate on the
Paris peace treaty, both for and
against, was a very fine exhibition Of
research and argumentative ability.
Some Of the speeches rank with the
best ever delivered in the chamber at
any time in it's history.
The Newberry case may be used to
point moral and adorn a tale with.
cut any resort to exaggerations or ex-
travagances Of statement. To accept
the charge and it's implications as
made by some Of the Michigan sena-
tors opponents is to accept the charge
made against the government in gen.
eral by its open and aggressive
enemies.

From Mail to Movies.

When it comes down to paying SAL
aries the government cannot compete
with the movies. The public service
pay scale Is too far below that Of the
picture film industry to permit any
effort to rival the compensations in
order to hold the services Of people
who are wanted by that business. This
Is plainly illustrated by the case of
Postmaster General Hays, who has
just been announced as the latest
high-paid recruit to the pictures. !"
Mr.. Hays Is not going as an actor or
a director Of scenes. but as an execu-
tive on a large scale Of certain groups
Of picture concerns. His services are
sought because he is known as a mas
ter hand at organization. wizard Of
administration. He will without doubt
be we'll worth the $150.0o0 year that
according to report he is to receive.
with a three-year contract. He is a
$150,000 man. He Is worth all that
and more to the government. meas
uring his value by services rendered.
So are many other men who draw gov
ernment pay and who get far less than
one-tenth Of that sum annually.
Mr.. Hays will round out full year
in the government service, retiring
into the movies-or advancing, accord
ing to the point Of view-on the ami.
versary Of his advent in the Post Office
Department. In that year he will
have more than justified his selection.
He has worked wonders with the serv-
ice, stimulating it to endeavors Of high
efficiency. correcting faults In admin
istration, infusing a spirit Of co-opera-
ton and a jealous desire to give the
people the best in the way Of mail
transport on the part Of all the
workers. ..
1t will be difficult to replace Mr..
Hays in this post. He has demon
strated a particular fitness for the
work. His indefatigable energy, his
keen sense Of proportion. his manner
Of handling his departmental staff,
his sincere endeavor to make all the
postal workers feel. that there is a
bond of human interest between them
and their executives and the public
these qualities have marked him as
one Of the most notable cabinet sue
cesses in long period.
There Is something sad. yet some.
thing encouraging, in the departure
Of Mr.. Hays from public service. The
motion picture industry will gain and
the government will lose by this change.
Perhaps in the end the public will gain.
for it may be assured that Mr.. Hays
will take into the work he Is soon to as.
sumo the same, spirit Of helpfulness
that he has always shown. and will
try to bring about betterment OF the
films, which have so great power for
good and for evil in the daily enter
