PEACE ON THE ST. cRoIx

There comes to the desk a copy Of
the st. Croix Courier. dated Oct. II,
which contains quite long account
of the echoes heard in reports. of
the recent wonderful convention of
Women's Clubs at Bar Harbor," at
which among the guests of honor
were Mrs. Vim. E. Todd. wife of
the Governor Of New Brunswick and
Mrs. A. E. vesey. president OF the
Women's Canadian Club of ST.
Stephen. whose greetings were most
cordially received by the convention
The attitude evinced by this ac.-
count was summed up in: How
good and how pleasant thing it is
to dwell together in unity"
Now it is becoming day by day
more and more painfully apparent
that such a desirable condition may
not either be attained nor maintain
ed solely by conversation, by
speeches and Fluctuations but must
be accompanied by sensible pro-
cedure according to wise methods.
However, the mental attitude is no
insignificant factor and anything
tending to improve it is worthy of
consideration. And Mrs Vesey's ac-
count of the conditions otaining for
more than century on the ST Croix
border is a very pleasant reminder
that what has been done there may
be done elsewhere and is to be en-
couraged.
While such a bond among neigh
bors so situated may not be uncom-
! mon we must agree with her con-
clusion that it is very uncommon
indeed for two separate nationalities
to do likewise For 140 years" the
fabric of life in the st. Croix val
ley has been interviewer from this
commingltng of the two peoples. =
She added: "But mind you. neither
of them on either side of the river
suffer from any lack of patriotism
to their respective countries because
of their friendship and goodwill to
| one another"
This may he attributable in some
degree to fact to which the speak
err alluded: ''Fhe people of Anglo
Saxon lineage are fierce and relent-
less fighters, they are stern foes but
it is not in their blood to be haters. -
Mutual understanding contributes
wonderfully to amicable relations
and engenders forbearance. People
without antagonism, without tradi-
tons of injuries received one from
the other are indeed happily situated
FLOR maintaining peaceful relations.
Otherwise it would not have been
possible to experience such an in
! cioent as was that, when the govern
| ment at Fredericton made inquiry.

fences at st. Stephen II learned the
powder had been loaned to the citi-
Gems of Calais for the purpose of
celebrating the Fourth of July. AS
might have been expected, after that
incident 1t was thought unnecessary
to maintain defenses on either side
of the border in that valley. The
inhabitants of st. Stephen were not
disloyal to their own government be-
cause they could understand why
their neighbors across the river
wanted to celebrate the Fourth OF
July and could and did recognize the
propriety of their doing so.
Those who would work. for peace
in the world must work for better
understanding, for recognition of
mutual rights. for a spirit of friend
Illness born of such knowledge, all
leavened by spirit of unselfishness.

A DAY OF REJoIcINc

- Interest is felt in, the comments
of General Clarence R. Edwards
when urging observance of Armistice
Day. He would have the observance
''on Nov. IL, Notwithstanding that is
Sunday. He does not regard Armis-
tice Day as another Memorial Day.
On the former he would have no
half-staffing of the flag, no public
ceremonial Of decorating graves.
The reveille should be the call. I'VE
must not hear taps. The flag should
be up at the peak. For on Armistice
Day our people stand victorious on
the threshold; looking into the fu-
ture. 1t is not day of sadness, but
:. Jn.2day of rejoicing"
isn't it good guess that the
boys who paid the price would have

DELAY ALL OR PAR12

Here's one plan to relieve q rural
carrier during the winter: start the
carrier out early. every day, so If the
weather or the roads happen to
be-bad he may make his rounds
before dark. though by doing SO
the important mail of the day
is delayed in the office for "a
hours. Another plan Is to start at
the usual time. 1890 or III A. NJ. and
deliver what he can. What he is I'M
able to deliver that day will be de-
layed but twenty-four hours. while
the rest of it will receive a prompt
delivery. In other words the first
plan would delay all mail for "a
hours while the latter plan would
delay only small part OF it for that
time, and then only on days when
the roads are in bad shape. The lat
ter method would appear to be pre-
ferable.

Gold Mouse Legend

British officers and soldiers of the
forces occupying this city never tire
OF visiting its majestic cathedral.
A life size mouse OF solid gold un-
der an inverted crystal bowl set up
on marble table In one OF the chap
els invariably causes much curiosity
and inquiries as to the cause Of the
little golden rodents presence are
frequent.
1t is told that some hundreds of
years ago the cathedral was infested
with mice which were responsible for
much damage to the paintings. sacer-
dotal costumes and other costly silk
and cloth ornaments. All Efforts to
rid the cathedral OF the plague had
proved failures until some 0nc sug.
gested that the presence OF a mouse
or gold as permanent fixture would
prove effective in frightening the live
ones away. The legend says that the
remedy was successful.

case!" ranking British officer asked

I'M IMMIGRATION

As this is written ships bearing
thousands Of would-be immigrants
are approaching quarantine on our
shores. The law under which they
are coming expires next June. The
monthly food of aliens is reminder
OF what needs to be done respecting
their admission.
In a letter written nearly a year
ago Nicholas Murray Butler declared:
"The present law is absurd In
theory and cruel in practice. II we
already have one million immigrants
from an undesirable source, we may
admit under the law thirty thousand
more from that same undesirable
source: whereas, if we have thou
sand immigrants from highly de-
sifable source, we may admit only
thirty more from that same desirable
source. The whole theory and
practice of the present immigration
law affronts common sense and is
against the interests of the people
of the United States"
1t is said that under the present
law the Italian quota is signed up
fifteen years ahead. Surely, If
there be sufficient interest to induce
100000 Italians to Bother to qualify.
once restrictions were removed there
would be a much larger number seek
admission. Once there were large
numbers OF Scandinavians. OF
Scotch, and of thrifty Germans. COM
ing to this country but when the
food from Syria and parts of south
eastern Europe poured in northern
races declined to meet the competi-
ton. Under restricted immigration
they would like to come. Manifestly
the kind of restrictions should re-
ceive consideration in this connec-
ton.
A feature of the present law which
is rightly criticised is its effect in
barring immigration from English
colonial possessions, places that sent
practically no immigrants here. prior
to 1890, the date on which quotas
are now fixed. Moreover under it
great hardship is imposed because
the eligibility of the alien is not
determined before he leaves his
home country. Furthermore some
Of those countries have laws under
which passports are not granted to
the youth which it is desired to keep
at home, but only to aged or to un-
desirable persons. In the matter of
quantity, taken as a whole, the pres
emit law has been productive of great
improvement. What seems to be es-
pecially needed is some practicable
method of determining the quality.
This, however, may not meet the
wishes of those employers who are
seeking greater abundance of I'M
skilled labor.
1t is increasingly evident that the
immigration laws need amending but
the doing of it should be closely and
intelligently watched.
