RR wear made in the report of the State Buresu of Industries and Immigration expose a condition of affairs about as bed as any brought to light either in police scandsle or the white slave traffic, barring marder. The immigram arrived on our hospitable shores is subject to e thousand forme of ewindling, rang- ing from petty overcharges by hotels and lodging houses to robbery and extortion. The variety of the rascalities is interestingly increased by the discovery of Justices of the Peace in aome localities fining immi- grants for imaginary offenses and pocketing the money. The State Bureau has done much to protect the unwary and punish the rascals, but finds iteelf thwarted often by the fect that either the immigrant or the ewindler hes left the State. The sub- ject, in fact, is one that should be dealt with by the Federal Govern- ment. It is well enough to have mighty Statue of Liberty et the + gate of the Republic, but there should be eomne display of Justice and Law within the door. a THE CAMPAIGN FOR STREET CLEANING. ONCERNING the task of cleaning up the city in such way as ( to leave it clean when done, Commissioner Lederle of the ~ Che BE word. | Can You Department of Health says: “If private societies will co- operate in educating the people and the people in turn will co-operate, we can accomplish this whole clean-up in one month; if we have to ‘resort to executive orders, it will take a year.” On that showing there should be co-operation, prompt, pressing and persevering. But it must be also reasonable and judicious. It ie not a mere matter of getting house owners or janitors to clean out their areawayé ami throw the stuff in the streets. Nor will it be of any great advantage to clean the streets themselves if residents begin to throw all sorts of stuff on them as soon as the cleaners have passed on. 7 In short, there must be a campaign of education before the cleaning begins. That is the task now to be undertaken. This is where every earnest man or women can be of use. They can talk the subject into the ear of the dull neighbor until he wakes up and ; takes an interest in it. } _ WHAT TROUBLE US MOST. } R. GEORGE L. WALTON, described as “an eminent nenrolo- D gist,” lecturing before the Harvard Medical School, eaid the \* » present generation of Americans are less emotional than | those of fifty years ago, On the other hand, Dr. M. G. Schlapp of i Cornell, described as a “neuropathologist,” addressing the conference on Mental Hygiene at Philadelphia, lamented “the growing number } of the insane, both men and women, and with them the growing number of criminals in every country in the world.” Believing we are lees nervous than our fathers, Dr. Walton we are still too much given to argument, fretting and swearing. He | says we should work harder and go home “tired and happy. Schlapp says we work too much, at least women do. “This is the | destructive force,” said he, “that is filling our asylums and jails, | killing one-third of the bables born in the first year of their lives. 1 can demonstrate that these physical disturbances are due entirely | to industrialism.” ’ Whether these differences of scientific vision are due to natural contrarietics between neurologists and neuropathologists, or between Harvard and Cornell, must be left to the initiated to decide, But if} both ‘should be right, we confront a crisis. | — fo | A MORALS COURT FOR VICE CASES. | O™ of the popular interest aroused by the vice inquiries in Dr. | Chicago there has come a proposal to establish a “Morals | Court.” It might have been expected. Every movement among us tends to reform, for we are a generation of reformers find- | ing ia every new reform something as propitious to our bodies as to Quggouls; but sooner or later each of these movements is turned awry | info the great highroad that leads to more legislation, the creation of }» more institutions and the establishment of more offices. Multitndinous and multiferious were the testimonies given before the vice-inquirant committee, and the counsels and advices were even ais the testimonies; but nobody suggested a Morals Court. Some « Wished better wages; some, better homes; some, better men; some, better laws: some, better social customs; a few, better girls; but no one intimated a need of either a better cour! or another court. Yet it is a court we are likely to get. The conclusion appears inevitable. In the effort to throw the blame for vice on the employers of girls at cheap wages, the cm- ployers have been forced in self-defense to insist that more girls arc | -tuined in domestic service than in factories, and more highly paid 4 women go astray than poor ones in proportion to numbers employed. » Business, in fact, has been roused to defend itself. It will insist | upon compromise at least. A Court of Morals will satisfy nobody, 4 but it will postpone the issue. ——_—__-—_—_ \° tend bigh achool and concentrate his Yes. | 0 the Baitor of The Brening World mina on his studies for the hours that Letters From the People | wae is Vode Wat 66 U have no objections to the lady being instructed in the tango, the one-step or the horse trot?” asked an affatie man, paus- ing im front of the table where Mr, and Mra.
