"The Tag Fell Off"

TT is still nearly week to Christ
mas. Many thousands of gifts
i still remain to be sent. Much
care and love goes into the buying
Of these gifts. Much carelessness
and seeming indifference goes into
their sending; else would not one
thousand Christmas packages a day
find their way to the Unaddressed
Department of the Postoffice!
~ hold my job" says the man
in charge of this department for
years, because of the public's care
1essness." One would think that
the same thought and care that
prompts the purchase of present
would attend to its sure arrival,
through proper wrapping and ad-
dressing.
The tag fell off - that usually
tells the story. The same charac-
teristically American carelessness in
packing has lost Americans count
less millions in competition for
foreign trade.

SlUOrd Bearers of the Sea
BY Henry Smith Williams

A PHOTOGRAPH comes to
hand showing a man astride
an extraordinary creature which
appears to have a double-bladed
saw projecting from the front
OF its head.
The man is F. A. Mitchell.
Hedges, explorer and deep-sea
fisherman, and the strange ami
NAL is a sawfish which he is
said to have captured in the
Pacific Ocean off Panama after
a fight lasting nearly six hours.
The fish measured more than
twenty-six feet in length and
weighed 5000 pounds.
OF the many strange creatures
in the sea. the sawfish is not
the least strange. Offhand.

THE SPECTATOR
An Imperial
Wedding
IN FORMER days the mar

IN fOh MEh Gays lne mar
riage of a Chinese Emperor
to a princess would have been
a function that would have In
terested all the courts OF the
world. In these days of down
pulling and democracy, how
ever, no political significance
was attached to the marriage.
and 1t took on many Of the fea-
lures OF a comic opera.
Fifty thousand presents were
showered on the bride. repre-
senting fabulous sums Of money.
but the bridegroom Is said to
have spent only about fou:
thousand dollars on the occa-
sion, as he was hard up.
The Government, whep he
retired. promised to give him
four million dollars q year. but
his guardian recently reported
that during the past ten years
only six hundred thousand dol
lars had been paid Most Of us
could scratch along on sixty
thousand dollars a year. but
such q sum is, OF course. very
little for an Emperor.
The bride was carried from
her home cooped up In a cur
tained golden Sedan chair.
borne by twenty men, garbed
in imperial yellow. Her path
way was illuminated by yellow
lanterns. and the five miles Of
street through which she
passed was strewn with fresh
sand.
The day Of the wedding was
decided upon by the astrologers,
who selected the stars and de-
cided that the early morning
would be most propitious. So
the brides journey began at Q
o'clock in the morning, and she
was married about 4.
Still. most girls would be
willing to get up early to marry
an Emperor. Even an ex-Em-
Deror.

Admit Good
Immigrants
THE present immigration laws
work innumerable hardships
i upon individual immigrants.

i upon individual immigrants.
Under these laws immigration
officials make decisions which are
grotesque, cruel and outrageous.
But the worst outrage is against
the historic policies and the dem
ocratic character of the United
States.
To build up our country, foreign
lands sent us the choicest element
of their peoples-not their aristo-
Gratis, but the most imaginative, the
most enterprising and adventurous
of the plain peoplet
Courage, vision and will to
achieve inspired the men and
women who left their ancestral
homes to traverse broad seas to
land that promised opportunity and
liberty.
The workers, the doers, have
come. The timid souls, the idlers,
rich and poor; the dull who could
not see, the unambitious satisfied
with routine, have stayed at home.
Therefore our new arrivals have
frequently been our best Ameri-
cans, deepest devoted to the ideals
which have made America the ad-
miration and inspiration of all
freedom loving people. With hand
and brain and loyal heart, they
bore their full and noble part in
our upbuilding.
Today America presents TO such
immigrants an iron-barred gate
through which only a handful can
squeeze. They face an America
that has modified her republican
principles and Institutions and
tempered her devotion to democ-
racy.
America acts afraid lest some of
these newcomers may not meet the
approval of her newborn aristoc-
racy, which does not welcome i'm
migrants TOO MUCH devoted to
democracy and too prone to take
our professions of liberty, equality
and opportunity at their face value.
The Three Per Cent immigration
law is sadly indicative of changed
spirit in the controlling element in
our Government. Not our immi-
gants but our lawmakers are in
need of Americanization, rededica-
tion to the ideals of the Republic.
America needs immigration to till
its fields, to develop its resources,
to man its industries-yes. and to
keep the wellsprings of its democ-
racy pure.
1t is right to be careful of the
quality of our immigration and to
guard against the diseased, the de-
fective, the insane.
1t is not right to exclude those
who lack education, often better
citizens than he who has an educa-
tlon and does not appreciate it.
Quality thus assured, let us take
down the absurd and harmful bar
rlers against the best of Europe
coming to our shores.
Let us return in spirit to our
ideals of liberty. of equality and
opportunity, and welcome with
heart and hand all who, believing
as we do, come to help us work
out the fulfillment of America s
destiny.
