N his recently published book, “Imported Americans,” Broughton [ Brandenburg reveals some new and significant facts on the meth- ods employed by aliens for gaining admission to this country un- der evasion of the immigration laws. For the purposes of making a special study of the phase of Italian immigration, Mr. Brandenburg went to Italy, there became intimate with a family of peasants which was making preparations to transfer their household gods to America, and, as one of them, came over in the steerage and passed through the tortuous channels of Ellis Island. His iflft)rma-x tion thus gained by experience is instructive. The first and most striking fact which impressed the author was that the immigrants as a body believed that they would “have to pay some money to somebody™ to gain admission to the promised | land of their desires. Fraud seemed to them to be obligatory ; brib- ery the only lubricant for making smooth the wheels of passage.. Even those that had clear entrance to the country were wont to male assurance doubly sure by trickery. This because throug’hout| the ole of Ttaly the impression was sedulously sown by knavish trafiickers upon the peasants’ ignorance that it was necessary to be | schooied and coached in the ritual of inspection so that the officers | at the New York immigration bureau might be easily duped into allowing admittance to those otherwise failing in requirements, Mr. Drandenburg makes the assertion that in Naples a school of this kind exists which has the moral support, at least, of the T+alian Bureau of Emigration and the Emigrant Coneress. a orivate * B [ B | band and the wife, discuss in public the issue of matrimony. — MONTH OF OCTOBER, 1904 AR T 12, a4 R0 R ay L. 89210 - T 87,990 | 13.. .. 63600 kaass ..

He quotes resolutions of this society, voicing the accord of its members in “the necessity of instructing the emigrant.” In the light of these facts, which must be known to our Govern- | ment, but which admit of no direct remedial measures, it is not surprising that fraud on the part of immigrants weakens the effi- ciency of our immigration bureau FOR PURER FOOD. EGINNING with the new year the Department of Agriculture is to inaugurate a new and vigorous campaign against the im- portation of adulterated foods from foreign countries. Acting under the provisions of an act passed by Congress a year ago, Secre- tary Wilson has ready for promulgation an order making it obliga- | tory upon all foreign producers of foodstuffs designed for the Amer- ican trade to provide upon the labels of the same an accurate and complete statement of the quantity and kind of preservatives, color- ing matter or adulteratives contained in the goods offered for im- portation. Failure to abide by this new law will, of course, lay the manufacturer open to the confiscation of his wares. Though the enforcement of this act commits us to picking the mote out of our brothers’ eye while ignoring the beam that is in our own, it may be welcomed as the beginning of an agitation which will certainly be prosecuted among our domestic food manufac-| turers with equal vigor as soon as the initiative of the Department | of Agriculture gathers strength by practice. Discrimination against foreign products is not the spirit of the programme for pure food. From Germany and France have come repeated warnings in the matter of the adulteration of American meats and fruits—warnings which have been heeded by the interested parties on this side even without Government admonition. The vigorous measures which the Department at Washington has taken against foreign adulterated foodstuffs will serve as a forcible hint to domestic producers and re- forms will be made, doubtless, before the second step in the pro- gramme directs itself nearer home. All of this will have its salutary effect upon the discrimination of the consumer. The campaign for pure food has found its most persistent opponent to be the indifference, of the people themselves. When, however, the careless householder may read on the label of his | | French peas that they were colored with copper, or finds that his sardines are floating in cottonseed oil, he must, if he is not very careless indeed, begin to sense convictions in the matter of eating wholesome and unadulterated food. V. arrow and its open season for divorce is well patronized. There marriage is a lottery and the losers get into court while the winners keep still. The philanthropist and the philosopher, the hus- One lady imparting to matrons the ways and means of managing a hus- band says, “Feed the brute.” A man talking to men about marrying a wife says, “Clothe the bird in plumage gay and take her to the theater once a week.” The discussion never ends. People rush into matrimony under a bell of roses and rush out of it through the divorce court, and are glad and sorry by turns. But all thishas become commonplace and it has been left for a citizen of the somber city of Tombstone, Ari- zona, to strike out an original path into the state of matrimony. He has put himself up at a raffle. His advertisement describes him as a valuable piece of conjugal property. The tickets are $1 each. The whole number must be sold before the drawing. into a trust fund to be used in setting up housckeeping after the lucky lady draws the prize and leads him to the altar of sacrifice. | He gallantly puts no age limit on the ticket buyers and binds himseif to deliver himself, bound hand and foot, as it were, to the holder of the winning ticket. His plan is original and suggestive. American ladies of fortune have for some time showed a desire to marry foreign titles. There are not enough first-class titles in the market to go around and meetr i the demand. Why not inwke the assistance of the Goddess of | Chance and put up a good title at a raffle? This will give the girls all a show, and it will involve a guarantee of the. soundness of the ! title. Some have been led to marry handsome men claiming to be | titled, who turned out to be members of the entirely respectable guild of barbers, and there have been heartaches and headaches in con- sequence. Let a real Duke offer himself in a raffle, with the cer- | tificate of a searcher of records that he is “‘the real Peruvian dough- nut,” and such grievous accidents will not happen.

H. Herald of Sonora, in The Call a few days ago. He says, as an old fireman, he thanks you for your| editorfal of recent date on rail dis-| asters and he is right—your ideas on ' that subject are food for thought for all railroad managers and men in rail- | road work. However, when Herald makes the! statement that railroad superintend- ents keep men in their employ just | because they (the men) are jolly good fellows who rely on their luck instead | of merit for success, he shows in that one sentence why, he is still an old| fireman instead of an up-to-date, jolly, | good engineer. I have been in the railway service for nineteen years and I have never yet seen the man who did his work well and faithfully who failed to stand well with the superintendent, and I have found, too, that the jolly, good fellows were generally the brightest and best FALLING IN LOVE APROCESS OF INDIVIDUAL SELECTION ! BY DOROTHY FENIMORE. HE theory that men souls and women souls were made in com- panion pieces, each pair unlike every other pair, and intended to go together, is very pretty. It furnishes romance with one more decorative prop. It makes you and me fee] that we were honored by the personal touch of a master hand. Nor is it such a bad theory te put into practice—after marriage. It can be used to advantage in strengthening nuptial vows. In engagements it — % | men for their places and a wave of the { hand or a pleasant smile did not take : their minds off their work for a mo- | ment. | The condition of men in train ser- | vice to-day, as compared with twenty | years ago, certalnly shows them in a class by themselves in the labor world and in progress. The traveling public has the train men to thank for most of the comfort i and safety it enjoys to-day. It is the | train man who has always insisted on ’ the betterment of the laws for his own | and the public’'s safety and I think, if | the owners and managers of railroads { would work more for perfect equip- ment and better service and less profit for a few years, the terrible accidents and loss of life we read of every day would soon be a thing of the past. The subject is too great to be handled properly in this short letter, but the public can rest assured the train men | stand ready and willing to help capital | bring about the proper conditions. | When too much is asked of human na- | ture accidents will happen. a W.

NO CRIME IF YOU | BEAT RESTAURANT | You may, according to a decision{ren- dered at Jersey City by Police Justice Higgins in the case of Edward Waters, | help yourself to what you want in any | restaurant.

HE MADE LOVE T0 STORE DUMMY | It was James Lister's affectionate in- clinations that brought him into trouble | at Cleveland the other day. He was| | brought into the Police Court on com- plaint of Max Englander, a Lorain | street clothier. The charge was plain | drunk. Englander said that while in front of | | his store enjoying the evening breeze he | | was astounded and horrified to perceive | Lister advance from the street and | place his arms about the waist of Eng- | | lander’s clothing dummy. Too amazed ' to move, Englander says that he stood ' helpless while Lister embraced the ! dummy repeatedly, giving vent the, while to loving sentiments. ‘When at last he was able to summon | his energies to resist the attack of Lis- | ter, Englander shouted for the police. Lister pleaded not guilty. His wife | appeared in court with her small baby | and pleaded for his release. It was, finally granted by Judge Whelan after! a lecture to the amorous Lister. l PAPER CLOTHING | IS THE LATEST A London wholesale haberdashery concern has introduced a species of pa- | per undersuits and hosiery, samples of | which are now being shown in the New York markets.

It fiances were to belleve universally that together they stand and divided they fall, because a shining fate has so or- dained ft, less money would be spent on express charges for the return of betrothal presents. The trouble is this theory will not stand the test of time and experience. Its colors come out in wash, salt in the water notwithstanding. Fact proves its fallacy. It is one of the po- lite lies of our civilization, pleasant to speak and hear, useful for occasion, but deceptive—no more to be trusted than thin ice. It is certainly not fair, know better, to teach young people that their hearts are like sleeping princesses, which only one person in all the wide world has power to awaken. Why, every time they felt a thrill of sentimental life they would be certain the appointed hour had come for them to sit up, rub the sleep out of their eyes and follow whither their emotion, heaven-sent, might lead them. The idea is like a painted eggshell that has been blown, good to look at, but nothing in it. The distinction is not made clear enough to the young that love and lov- ing are quite different things. Love is the emotion one gets from the attrac- tion of another personality. Loving means the mental and spiritual accept- ance of another human being for bet- ter or for worse. Furthermore, love does wake up the heart as the fairy prince woke up the sleeping beauty in the fairy tale. But it comes as an Im- pulse, and not as a person. In other words it comes from within, and not from without. Falling in love is a process of in- dividual selection, and not the result of some mysterious external force. A lover cannot tell his sweetheart why he loves her. But he would have no difficulty in defining why he does not love any other woman of his acquaint- ance whom one might name. He has found a woman whose nature is a | complement of his own. But this does not make him a puppet in the hands of fate. In loving he has not lost an | lota of his personality, or of his in- | dividual freedom. If he had not met her, he would have met some one else who suited him as well. I Qo not wish to destroy that kite called sentiment. It is a joyous toy, and better fitted than I am, in my present form, for flying close to heav- en. But any kite, in order to be good, must have a leng enough tail on it to keep it steady after it goes up above the housetops and into the wind. Thus, the best piece of sentiment ever made is better for a few facts tled to it as ballast. Here are my facts: Whoever falls in love does it on his own responsibil- ity. We do not fall in love because we have to, but because we want to. Yet we are not wholly to blame for the mistakes we make. We were taught to worship before a wanton little god with bow and arrow. *A man's life shows a man's love. He cannot love honorably without living honorably. He cannot love wisely unless he has either inherited or cultivated common sense. when we WHEN MAN COMMUNES WITH NATURE MAN sat by ¢ He sought He pondered f; For peace a: And why, then, His heart was wrung The voice of man was He talked with Natur, he babbling brook, the forest’s cooling shade, n the quiet nook, 'welt In this leafy glade; did he linger there? with wild despair- here unknown, e's voice alone: “Why was I born, would I could die!
