II has been claimed that the ad-
ADMINISTRATION of the immigration laws
has been put upon a more humane
basis: that families will not be part
ed with such alarming frequency as
was the case mp to quite recently
Yet from Syracuse comes the
story of 12-year- old boy who will
be sent back to England because his
eyesight is not perfect. despite the
fact that his parents are willing and
able to post a fat bond with The gov
eminent that he will never become
a public charge.
This decision by the immigration
officials is inhunan. II popular indig-
nation has any influence with the
Washinct on officials they will accept
the bond and let the boy remain
with his parents.

STEAM AND ELECTRICITY

While identification of railroads
is receiving much attention in some
parts of the country. and especially
in some cities where suburban
travel is a factor. New England is
not likely to progress in this respect
for some time. after having a long
electrified stretch from New York
to New Haven.
The railroads entering the South
station in Boston have had an oppor.
tunity to electrify their suburban
service for years. but here we read
that the Boston &, Albany. needing
more suburban locomotives, has or
dered five double-end pullers.
The new North station in Boston,
possessing features equalled by
no other station in the country. like
wise is not electrified.
A decade ago it was thought that
all heavily burdened railroad lines
would become electrified. But such
progress has been slow and in some
parts of the country is entirely stag
nant.
Electrification possesses advan-
tages for passengers. chief of which
is the lack of smoke and cinders;
and in cities has al advantage to
residents for the same reason. But
the costs of changing to electricity
are great. and the cost of electric
locomotives much higher than the
price of steam locomotives.
II is noteworthy. therefore. that
the LackaWanna is planning TO
electrify suburban service in parts
OF northern New Jerser: that the
Pennsylvania this month completed
identification Of the line between
Philadelphia and Wilmington: and
that Chicago ia we'll pleased with
such o1ectrification that has been
accomplished within recent years
along The water front
The branch line between Hart =
ford and Bristol. SO far as We are
aware, is the only line which, after
once having been electrified, return
I'd to steam. But today. if and when
necessary. the New Haven can add
more gasoline driven coaches. which
like electric trains. leave no SCOT and
clnders as they pass. Unlike the
days of the electric trains. however
there are relatively fever passen-
gers. That in the final analysis may
be the main reason Why electrifica-

the treaty OF peace between Eng

lures did not come to the attention
OF the colonial authorities until
about 1916 when his riracies In the
West Indies and along the Spanish
Main brought him to their notice.
For two years he was the dread Of
almost every planter In Virginia and
the Carolinas and of the captains
who piled their ships along the
coast and on the rivers Of those

A GRAND FINISH

One Of the most exciting conclu-
sions that ever embellished big
league baseball race IL under way.
OF course. that means that the St.
Louis Cardinals and the New York
Giants are staging the performance.
The number of telephone calls re-
ceived at the Herald Office regarding
the progress of the games In the
last few days reminded one Of a
world series.
Just as there are people who dis
like seeing the Yankees win the
pennant in the American league. on
tn score that they have been on top
through, so there are people who like
to see the Cardinals win the pennant
in the National.
The Giants lost big opportunity

that. by winning only half of
double header while the Cardinals as
usual won their scheduled game.
they dropped behind. 1t looks like
the Cardinals will win that pen
nant.
Several years ago the Cardinals
won the pennant and a world series
with Roger Hornsby plotting them.
Since then Hornsby got the gate as
the result of squabble and Nc
kechnie has the boys in tow this
year. Which gives us the impression
that any good manager can win
pennant ii he happens to have the
right kind of team at his disposal.

dolorous facts: The printed publicity
being sent out by the Republican
committee il duly and Enthusiastically
inscribed with the union label. de-
noting the printing was done BY
union labor in some closed shop
plant,
A recent letter of the Founders
Association. No. 1853, seems dis
satisfied with the party platforms
Both platforms play for the myth
cal union vote" runs sub heading.
Which is too bad,
Union leaders. says the letter
want specific promises and poll
ticians are willing to give general
promises which may be later on
turned into specific effect. Neither
the Republican nor the Democratic
party had word to say about
unonism except in .laudation and
enthusiasm. Etc.
What doesn't satisfy about Hoov er
is his statement that. Having earn
ed my living with my own hands, ]
cannot have other than the greatest
sympathy with the aspirations OF
those who toll And then the entire
Hoover statement on labor is quoted,
winding up with:
THE Republican platform gives
the pledge of the party to the sup
port of labor. 1t endorses the prin-
ciple of collective bargaining and
freedom in labor negotiations. We
stand also pledged to the curtail-
ment of excessive use of the injunc-
ton in labor disputes"
Then the letter turns to Al Smith s
views on labor. He Likewise CON-
mends the unions, runs the subtitle.
He does SO even more definitely than
the Republicans. I'VE declare for
the principle of collective bargaining,
which alone can put the laborer
upon a basis of fair equality with the
employer; for the human principle
bat Lob to fN
fair treatment to government and
federal employees: and for specific
and immediate attention to the
serious problems of unemploy-
ment." Then. Mr. Smith added and
it is duly quoted: There have been
grave abuses in the issuance of in
functions in labor disputes"
The Founders Association. OF
course, is woefully dissatisfied with all
OF this. 1t is sore, disgruntled. irri-
tated beyond measure.
But after quoting both sides in
this fashion. what Is the Associa ton
going to do about it? 1t is written
in both platforms and both candi-
dates have heartily approved what
is so written and have gone even
further in their personal statements.
Most people think that the two
presidential candidates in this CAM
paign are of wonderfully high
type. and that the country is for
tunate in having such a pair TO
choose from: that it is next to i'm
possible to make mistake.
But the Founders Association is
heartily displeased at the labor
planks and the labor statements.
Something has gone wrong. How is
it. anyhow. that it had so little in
fluence in fixing up the planks and
getting the candidates to talk less
nonsense" Looks as IL it cannot con-
troll enough votes. or something. Or
maybe it doesn't contribute enough
to the campaign funds.

And the good lived after him.

For he gave people something to
