The Law and the
Countess

m HE detention Of Countess Cathcart under
deportation order at Ellis Island be-
comes silier the closer you study it
Stopped under the immigration law which
excludes persons who have been convicted of,
or admit having committed, felony or other
crime or misdemeanor involving moral turpi-
tude, - it now develops she hadn t and couldn t
have committed any such crime.
Why? Because while adultery was admit
ted, adultery we are told, is neither a crime,
felony nor misdemeanor in England or South
Africa, where the "offense" took place
Under the circumstances if the outspoken
countess can be legally barred from this coun-
try, almost no foreigners at all should enter
For instance, any Englishman, Frenchman,
German or other foreigner who, at any time
in his life, ever carried a bottle Of brandy or
wine or other intoxicant, home, or even toted
a hip-faslz, should be barred For though
transporting liquor is not an offense IN Europe
it is crime punishable by term in the peni-
tertiary in the United States
Thus, if Secretary Of Labor Davis was cor
rect in barring Countess Cathcart for an act
that was not a crime where the act was com
mitted, then to be logical he should bar all
foreigners who had committed the "crime'' Of
carrying brandy flask on their journeys in
the old world
Absurd, ism t IT.?
Not that we give darn if foreigners laugh
at some Of Our laughable officials, but we do
hate to see our country stripped Of its dignity
by such wooden-headed administrative acts as

eral in the light of conditions existing in his
department?
3. The Veterans Bureau investigation.
Wash It it worth the whole 1888, 800 to rid
that bureau of the man then in charge and so
start the process of cleaning it up, to the end
that the war veterans might receive a fairer
share Of the millions voted for their relief2
f. The income tax bureau investigation.
Wouldn't it be worth the whole 81 1888 800 to
have real light on the inside workings of this
bureau--a bureau which, in complete secrecy,
has refunded hundreds of millions of dollars to
certain big taxpayers; bureau which at the
instance of Andrew Melons attorneys has
made ruling that saves Melons banks $751;
900 in such manner that Mellon himself is
startled9
Of course those four Investigations have
been worth all the Senate has spent in sixteen
years. They have been worth several times
$1,383,5 And nobody is more capable of
realizing this fact than that very successful
business man, Francis E. Warren.
