Have you ever wondered what must become of the poor for- eigner who has been keyed up to hopes of liberty and better daye, only to have the door shut in his face as he reaches the threshold and to be sent| the depths of despair and| to misery? According to the best available fig ures the number of exclusions by im- migration authorities during the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1909, was about 10,000. The number during the preceding year was also about 10,000 and during the year before that it was about 13,000, so that within three years more than 33,000 immigrants have been turned back after reaching our shores and told that they could not enter what to them was to be the promised land In addition to his remendous number of exclusions after arrival, for the year 1907 65,000 per- sons were exciuded on the other side of the ocean by refusal for medical reasons by the steamship companies to deliver to them tickets for which they had made arrangements, If this ratio holds good throughout, five times as many being intercepted at the point of departure as are turned back at the point of destination, the total number of exclusions for the three years would be nearly 200,000, Some of these exclusions it is im- possible to prevent or to avold, but of them, if not most f them, could be forestalled. They are due, first, to ignorance of our immigration requirements on the part of those who would come to this country, and see- ond, to the Indefinite and elastic terms used in defining the reasons for ex- clusion, and the harsh and often un- feeling construction put on them in their application to Individual cases. Where our immigration laws debar “paupers’”’ and ‘‘persons likely to be- come public charges” or persons as- sisted with “prepald tickets,” much is left to the judgment and discretion of the {mmigration inspectors. While only from 1 to 2 per cent of the im- migrants are excluded, and of these perhaps only a small proportion with- out justification, still no one can tell what particular immigrant will be- come the victim of officlal biunder- |ing, and the order of exclusion when it falls on the hapless and helpless leaves him practically without rem- edy even if disposed to ert his rights. What becomes of the excluded im- migrant, is a question for whose an- swer we cannot wholly shake off re- sponsibility. Imagine the case of the forelgner .who has uprooted himself from friends, family and forefathers, disposed of his earthly belongings to get the means to come to what he has been led to believe is the land of milk and honey, and is then sent back as a person “likely to become a public charge.”” If he might by any possi- bility have become self-supporting and make himself a useful citizen, the prospect is absolutely destroyed by the act of deportation, and driven from pillar to post he must become nothing but a human direlict. Two hundred thousand excluded im- migrants in three years! Surely it devolves upon us to devise some more humane and more just machinery for sifting out the desirables from the un- desirables and preventing this awful misery instead of aggravating it. Resources and Efficiency. What really gives warrant for the conservation of physical resources is that it does not exclude the conserva- tion of national vitality. Guarding for- ests, mines and rivers against fires, ac- cident and pollution is not only pre- serving property, but protecting life. Bridling mountain streams for power reservoirs, creating Irrigation systems |in arld or semi-arid sections of the west, not only makes possible new in- dustries and new homes, but increases the scope of human comfort and con- duces to human health and happiness, Former President Roosevelt well understood the need of sogial improve- ment among the suburban population before the entire scheme of better- ment could be perfected and so his | country hfe .commission had a real purpose. This and all the kindred movements of the last and present ad- ministrations promulgated for social have the common effect of strengthening vitality by educating against disease, Here again the two systems of conservation work in har- mony, for preventing disease is in- creasing economic productivity. The Committee of One Hundred on Na- tional Health goes so far as to reduce this proposition to a financial basis, showing that we lose by death in this country $1,600,000,000 annually, com- puting each life at $1,700 and h annual earning for adults at $700. But campaigns of reform are not to be based on dollars and cents in dealing with human life. The simple law of mortality is enough to gulde in the conviction that work of this sort Justifies itselt. There is no fixed and final life limit. Experience shows that this limit depends on two prime fac- tors, heredity and hyglene. The com- | bat with tuberculosis and the so-called eoclal dise 's are a direct step toward the physical upbuilding of the race. 8o are the laws regulating sanitary con- ditions of shops and factories where children as well men and women In Mississlppi two state senators have a rough-and-tumble, while in Ok- lahoma the adjutant general, with a plstol In its proper pl informs the governor that “you cannot counter- mand my orders.” 8till, melancholy men pine for the good old days dowa south, P work.

In Massachu- setts, a state of industrial plants, re- liable statistics show the average ration of life to be appreciably length- THE OMAHA SUNDAY 'onlnx and the insurance experience tables generally point the same way. We must continue to carry along, hand in hand, these two movements, the conservation, of natural resources and the conservation of vitality, producing Inational efficlency as tne common re | suit. Can They Be Separated? The essence of the scheme for negro |disfranchisement, which the democrats are undertaking to apply in Maryland, is the separation of federal from state and local elections, and an frage for state and local government. The theory wpon which the Maryland disfranchisers have proceeded is that where the federal constitution pro- hibits the denial or abridgement of the right to vote on account of race, color or previous condition of servitude, it refers only to participation in federal government, and that the federal gov ernment cannot interfere so long as the negro retains a nominal right to vote for elective federal officers. This would be an ingenious way to circumvent and nullify the constitu- tional prohibition against negro dis- franchisement if it were feasible, but there is room to doubt whether in practice any such sharp distinction can be made between federal elections and state elections, although it may | possibly be made between federal elec- tions and local elections, We do not choose our presidents by direct vote, but by an electoral college composed of members chosen sepa- rately by the several states. Under the constitution the color line cer- tainly cannot be drawn to prevent the negroes from voting for presidential electors any more than it can be drawn to prevent them from voting for members of congress. United States senators, who must be regarded as federal officers in the same class as members of congress, are likewise elected, not by direct vote, but by an electoral college made up of members of the two houses of the legislature, and the election of a member of the legislature which is to choose a United States senator.is one step in the federal election. In case of vacancy in the represen- tatlon of any state in the senate the position is filled temporarily by ap- pointment by the governor, and al though one degree farther removed, the election of the governor who may appoint a United States senator, or of a lleutenant governor who may be- come governor, Is llkewise a step in the federal election. 2 It is not supposable, therefore, that the new plan of negro disfranchis ment which Maryland has proposed can be put into effect without first running the gauntlet of the courts and being tested against the requirements of the federal constitution. If the Maryland plan should be upheld within the rights of the respective states it would no doubt be seized upon by other southern states as an improvement on the grandfather clause and put an end to even the sem- blance of equal manhood suffrage in all the southern states. Foreign Missions and World Peace. History records many serious inter- national disputes provoked by foreign missionaries with more zeal than di- plomacy, but in late years the foreign misslonary has profited by past mis- takes. If yesterday his presence abroad embarrassed his government in delicate relations, today it helps to strengthen those relations and pro- mote amity. The modern missionary, in the large majority of cases, is a man or woman of every-day common sense, broad enough to comprehend the peculiar difficulties of the work, specially trained for it and impressed with the importance of avolding polit- fcal affiliations. A few years ago several American missionaries were wantonly murdered in China. Some were women and their mistreatment was atrocious. One had given fourteen years of her life influence was great. With the lives of the workers, the church and school buildings were also des‘royed. Here in the United States a feeling of re- sentment arose that called for finan- | clal restitution. But the church that had sent these missionaries into the fleld interposed. ‘‘We are a Christian nation. We have sent our representa- tives over there to teach them a re ligion of tolerance, patience, forbear- ance; to tell them of One who taught, ‘Vengeance is mine, I will repay.’ We cannot afford to deny the Christian action of revenge.” swer of the church. China a na tion condemned the murder and pun- Ished the murderers, but the innocent people of China were not asked to pay for an injury they could not help.. Many such examples are to be found in the history of the Boxer up- risings, when the Christian missionary habitually sacrificed self for interna- tional peace. Become a great, systematic business, to whieh the church is applying business principles. It ha established on these frontiers of civilization schools and colleges where the natives may learn, not only the lesson of salvation, but the English language and what it stands for. There are also the hospl- tals as adjuncts, where the native sick are cared for. Roberts college at Congtantinople, maintained by one of the great Protestant churches of the United States, generally is pronounced the greatest civilizing force in that part of the orient, and civilization in this case means peace. The foreign missionary h become & factor for world peace because he s |common treasury to foot $ke billa. or |own mccouns tew g- outright | color qualification to exercise the suf-| to work among the Chinese and her | falth to these ignorant people by any | That was the an- | The fact is forelgn missions have BEE: APRIL sent to his field with that commission and command. The keynote, next to the gospel, sounded in the symphony of this formidable enterprise, is world discord the field. The sentiment of the business world toward foreign missions hi under- gone a revolution. It is because the foreign misslonary has proved himself to be the pioneer of civilization and commerce and conservator of world peace. is promptly withdrawn from Market Value of Dignity. The remark attributed to Frank B. Kellogg that the government camnot expect to compete with trusts in pay- ing salaries and that dignity and honor ought to count as an element in determining the pay of federal judges may be a little ironical, but it contains a big graln of truth. The demand for higher salaries for federal judges is no different from that in other private and public po- sitions. The one argument of high cost of living Is offered as conclusive and, while it may be just to pay these public servants more, Mr. Kellogg is right when he says that dignity and honor must be computed in the sum- mary. In this country, men have ac- cepted federal judgeships whom salary could not tempt. The same is true of nearly every other office of great trust within the gift of the country. Senator Root gave up a law practice estimated to yleld an annual income of $300,000 for a cabinet position then paying $8,000, and as senator he re- celves only $7,600. Mr. Kellogg him- gelf is credited with a desire to rep- resent Minnesota in the senate, show- ing that he holds the value of official dignity and honor above other con- siderations. It would be a dangerous time for this nation to change our accepted view of this question, The country, no more than a state, dare bid for public servants on the basis of re- muneration, particularly must this be true with reference to judges who hold the solemn power of individual rights in their hands. It may be time to raise the pay of federal judges again as a matter of fairness to them, but it is not to be done merely to off- set the extravagant fees that are ex- acted by the big corporation lawyers. What Peace Costs. A member of congress arguing against the bill for two new battle- ships has cited the fact that already 72 per cent of the revenue of the United States is spent for wars past or to come. Paradoxically that was an argument for the battleships, not against them. Militatdm has defeated itself, powerful preparation for war has proved to be the first step toward international amity. The Hague tri- bunal and the navy yards work to one end, Roosevelt, the arch-apostle of a big army and great navy, forced the Portsmouth treaty that restored peace between Russia and Japan, A few years ago the fear of a world- wide war in the Balkans disturbed the big nations. With a common effort they went to arming themselves for it. saw such wholesale preparation for battle, but the poesibility of war van- ished when peace was bought with battleships. 8o in voting for two in- stead of one or mone, as some of the members advocated, congress is mov- ing for peace. The two vessels are to cost $6,000,000, which is the dif- ference between the pension rolls in the United States for 1909 and 1911, but should help to save many times that amount in pensions, to say noth- ing of the lives those pensions repre- sent. Our government has paid out in pensions since its beginning nearly $4,000,000,000. It s a strange anomaly that even {in times of peace the heaviest expense of this and other nations is for mili- tarism. On its army alone last year Germany spent $190,000,000 and France $160,000,000. To be sure this argues little for the progress of The Hague tribunal, whicn has espoused, not only the cause of preventing and gettling international disputes, but that also of reducing armles and navies. If any headway is ever ac- complished in this the first step must be by securing an agreement from the powers to limit their armaments. Peril of the Penny Lunch. Milwaukee socialists, who won in |the city election, tread dangerous ground when they offer the penny lunch as onme of thelr multifarious benefactions. This is not the day of the penny luuch. Penny lunches, like pennies, are not popular; they are de- cldedly old-fashioned and if these po- | they have a painful lesson awaiting | them. But one might imagine that for a time this penny lunch would have a stimulating effect on Mlilwaukee's population. It would at least make it the mecca for all who preferred the penny lunch to no work.

The serious side of this penny lunch is that the soclalist party is on trial in Milwaukee. It remains to be seen whether its success at the polls was a good thing even to {tself. Its plat- form promises everything from initia- tive and referendum to penny lunches. Everybody who is unemployed when the flew city administration takes hold shall go to work at union wages and eight hours a day; every passenger | shall have a seat in a street car; three- cent fares shall come at once; coal, gas, lce, electric light and bread shall descend !n price; and poor women who have to wash for a living shall have city water free of charge. As it is the socialists go Into power in Milwaukee on a full-fledged, typ- ical poclallst platform and must be willing to have their success meas: ured by their ability to make good on these promises. The mayor-elect en ters office with a plurality of 7,000, which is a good margin. The people were evidently in earnest when they voted for him and expect results. It remains to be seen whether he will go out of office with any or all of these pledges unredeemed and if he does, the soclalist experiment in Milwaukee will be judged by the rec- ord. entirely The late Tlmmus F Walsh was a self-made man in the truest sense of the word, and notwithstanding his ac cumulation of multitudinons millions never forgot the lowly level from which he climbed the ladder. The self-made millionaire, out of ten, is a far more useful citl- ful citizen than the milllonaire by in heritance.

Business Improvement Increasing Na- tional Revenue. Philadelphia Bulletin. Striking proof of the general improve- ment in business is afforded by the figures | showing the condition of the United States | treasury. | During March there was an actual sur-| plus of about 35,500,000 in the income of the | government over {ts ordinary disburse- ments. The treasury deficit, concerning which so much has been said and written, now amounts only to a trifle more than $16,000,000 for the year. At the same date In 1808 It was more than $68,000,000. Whatever' its defects, the new tariff has been undeniably effective, thus far, as a revenue producer. Last month it brought into the government's coffers more than $1,000,000 dally. At the same tlme, Internal taxes are ylelding handsome increases all around.
