WHERE TRUTH FAILED

And the truth will make you 1 free" runs the line; or truth crushed 10 earth will rise again. the adago. But in the case of Vera Countess of Cathcart, it was her , truthfulness that penned her up in Ellis Island 10 await deportation, unless the secretary of labor de- crees otherwise.
 The general immigration law section 19, act of February. 1917, reads;
 Any alien who is convicted
 or who admits tho commission,
 prior to entry, of felony or
 a. crime or misdomeanor in
 volving moral turpitude, shall
 he dcportcd."
 The law is cl'ar enough, and Commissioner Curran at Ellis Ts- land is not to blame for it's ex- iStence upon the statute books He is supposed to apply the law, and if all the truth were known, he frequently may be very much dis gusted with the way in which it works out
 But heretofore moral turpi- tudo' has meant having been con- vtcted of T crime and has had nothing whatever 10 do with the private morals of individuals.
 The countess. being a divorced woman, told a frank story to the immgration authorities. Then fol- lowed a long list Of personal ques- tlons, thc kind that are nobody's business. Perhaps most persons would have evadcd them, or they may have sprinkl"d 2 few white U's" here and thoro. It is being done every day,
 But the countess was truthful, telling the immigration authorities the details and reasons for her di- Vorc". Hor rast life, il seems. ire epcc'i1c or how circumspcct her life may h" today placed her with in th" meaning Of moral turpI- tude" as now interpreted.
 Tn" Earl Of Craven. the man in the case, had easier sailing, He is married and tho difference be- tween the letter M and ID" on the immigration office papers per mirtcd him 10 enter inc country.
 The interpretation of moral turpitude" hy the immigration au- thoriti.s is wider than the framcrs of the law intended. In the past it has been applied mainly to those having had criminal careers. But at b''st it is a dangerous collocation of words, lacking in that specific substance that should be the quin- tessence Of the law.
 T. is the sprinkling of such gen. eralizations throughout our laws that is a' inc bottom Of ccaseless Tho ease Of the countess detained al Ellis Island has given all others 10 understand that the term levies premium on lying.

MAKE IT THE LAST
COAL STRIKE

I
 That Congress will pass some
 sort of law seeking to prevent a
 cessation Of mining in the future
 seems entirely likely, This, 1t Is ex-
 pected, will take place before the
 present session of Congress ends,
 The iron is hot and political ex- pedicncy as well as other factors
 arc at work urging action, The
 oddie, Robinson and Borah bills
 arc before Congress. but 1t is most
 likely that an attempt will be made
 to pass legislation making perma.
 nent some such arrangement as
 was entered into by the operators and miners for five years.
 The question ns to who ended tho strike is stll being debated,
 Secretary of Labor Davis holds q comfortable lead. while Ex-Goy- erhor Sproul or frnnsylyania and Richard r. Grant Of Cleveland -- the latter T big coal operator and president Of the T., $. Chamber Of Commerce last year -.- arc in the running. Governor Pinchot helped much through his earlier rro- posals which were summarIly dis missed by the Pennsylvania lcgis- la'urc. Pinchot was getting entirely too popular with the rank and file of voters 10 suit the politicians and these brought pressure against making it possible for him to capi- toIize such popularity according to dispatches from Pennsylvania.
 Fundamentally anthracite mining remains where it was before the strike. The basic evil remains--it | continues monopoly. Limited nat ural resources will continue to be treated like other private property. There is the monopoly of owner- 1 ship and of operation The politl- | cal and industrial monopoly ere ated by the state of Pennsylvania | remains; miners are certified and 1 work In the mines is restricted to those having certificates; and the states share In the anthracite | is a tax of 50 cents a ton on coal leaving the borders of the state. This raises SS.0Qo,00 a year in revenue for the state which 1 users of anthracite elsewhere pay with something added.
 The public has desired to sec an end 10 these nlonopoljsic methods, but the tive-ycar agreement doesn't touch upon these points. II is a good agreement seeing that it 'ndcd q disastrous strike for opera ors. miners and the public. Now { is up to Congress 10 see that the Is regulated in some ashion to prevent abuses in the uture. If anthracite mining has sot 10 be monopoly it still re- mains the duty of tho government soc that it is q good monopoly. 'unctioning for the public as well IS for the operators and miners.
