Hester Editor and Publisher Daily Greeting To Our Readers There is a poeticlessness of utterance in our blood that we should fight against, and struggle outward towards expression. We can educate ourselves to it, if we know and feel the necessity; we can make it a Christian duty, not only to love, but to be loving—not only to be true friends, but to show ourselves friendly.—Harriet Beecher Stowe. HASTE TOO FEVERISH, SAYS MR. HUGHES The American people hunger and thirst too much for sensation. "It is the day of the fleeting vision. Concentration, thoroughness, the quiet reflection that ripens the judgment are more difficult than ever." Public officers are required to give about half of their time to "contracts which are really unnecessary in order that they may be in a position to serve the other half." These asservations come from Charles E. Hughes, secretary of state. They were made in an address at a university dinner in Providence, R. I. Mr. Hughes does not ask that the hands be turned back on the dial of progress. But he does deplore the tendencies toward feverish haste—the insatiable thirst for motion, speed, and things novel and bizarre. And many others deplore them also. Modern facilities for haste are "agreeable and useful," as Mr. Hughes concedes. But it does seem that the people should devote some time to quiet reflection—some time to the old, thoughtful ways when men and women, boys and girls, took time to live. Flying madly about, craving excitement, hungering for speed, thirsting for sensation—these things break nerves and demoralize a people. New York, without newspapers, must have felt that it was out of the world. Deprive any community of newspapers and that community would be driven backward hundreds of years.

NEW PARTY PROJECT IS IN DIFFICULTY The projected new political party is not faring so well as it might, according to all reports. The farmer element and the labor element are not agreeing, it seems. The farmers want lower freight rates. The railway brotherhoods want higher wages. These two wants do not consist. If freight rates are lowered, there is no likelihood that wages would be advanced. If wages were advanced, there is no likelihood that freight rates would be reduced. And so it is much as though an irreversible force met an immovable object—a deadlock. Movements to form a great third party in national politics have been followed with keen interest by students of political affairs. There have been indications that a formidable political organization of new birth would be in the field next year. It may eventuate. But at present the movement is more or less vague. What may develop in the next few months will be awaited with deep interest by the public. Meantime the two old political parties, which have weathered many storms and have seen the birth, decline and death of several more or less pretentious rival political organizations, are going forward, crystalizing sentiment as fo politics and preparing for the great struggle of 1924.

But he didn't know anything about germs. The alien may prove a blessing. If the Indian had restricted immigration, he wouldn't have any oil wells. Our old-fashioned opinion is that people were happier when they trusted in God instead of consulting a lawyer. One reason why old-fashioned marriages lasted longer was because the husband didn't have to compete with a chow dog. The two supreme tests of faith are adversity and hasn.

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS EDITORS ARE SAYING SELECTIVE IMMIGRATION San Francisco Journal James P. Davis, secretary of labor in the President's cabinet, at a reception recently tendered to him by United States Attorney John T. Williams in this city, to which the federal officers of the Northern district of California were invited, directed his remarks to the subject of the immigration laws of the United States. There is need, Secretary Davis believes, for a selective immigration law to control admissions to this country, and of a jaw requiring the strict registration of aliens for the prevention of frauds. He pointed out the fact that a large part of the bootlegging and dealing in narcotics is carried on by aliens, many of whom are fraudulently evading the immigration laws. This is a subject that has engaged considerable of the attention of federal officers, but little concrete action has resulted. Any feasible scheme of the kind would involve a great increase in the work of our consular agents throughout the world, especially in Europe, and our State Department has not seemed particularly anxious to assume it. There is a clause in the present law providing that persons denied admission for unfitness shall be deported at the expense of the steamship company that brought them. This prevents in some measure the steamship companies from dumping undesirables on our shores for the sole purpose of earning the passage money. People of that class are seldom able to indemnify the line for return passage money. This country has no need to import more poverty. People that are without resources of any kind are fully as well off in Europe as they would be here. If the prospective immigrant is able-bodied and industrious he can make his way on this side, but if he is likely to become a charge upon the public he should be excluded. This country does not desire to deny admission to those that have in them the making of good American citizens, but some effective means must be created to determine this fact in advance. The first requisite is to put a stop to the various frauds that are prevalent, and the next is to deport those aliens that are unlawfully here.
