Aliens Try
Tricks To
Invade Law
New York, Aug. 9. The new
law, which has been effective for
about two months, has certainly
Jazzed up the business of immigra
tion. It provides that the number
of immigrants from any one coun
try be limited to 3 icr CJiit of thai
Uillon's 1810 population. :.'tl !i
bjp a Joker which says .hi", only
one-fifth of that 3 per cent shall
come In In any one month.
Now with a country like Ger
many, which had about a trillion
population in 1910 and hew sent
less than 500 here since the law
became effective last June, thi;
new restrictions don't mutter very
much. Hut when It enme to
Greece, Poland, Turkey and some
of the smaller nations!, they are
eating up their quotas in record
time and hollering for more. The
1'nited States is still to them the
laid of freedom, ami the roper I
that tlielr coming here Is about to
be curtailed has raised an swful
furor among intending Immi
grants. If the law merely ttlpuliited
that when a nation had sent us 3
per cent of Its 1910 population no
more would be admitted there
would be no difficulty; the over
flow could simply be shipped back
home, with Uncle Sum's regrets.
Dut this one-fifth of 3 per cent
each month business has them all
guessing. Or did at first.
It didn't take the wllyforelgr(sr
. long to catch onto the Joker and
turn the trick against ua. Klght
little nations used up their rjuotas
during July, which was th i firm
month. When it came around to
ward the last of the month, did the
liners bringing Immigrants to thi.i
county put in, learn they wero too
late because the month'! quota
was full, and put back? They did
not.
Much to the disgust, even to 'he
fury of some hundreds of Ameri
can citizens who happened to be
passengers, eight big transatlantic
liners due late In July calmly de
layed their arrival In New Yoi'K
until the first of the month. One
the Megall Hellas, a Greek liner,
with 130 Americana nboard, arriv
ed off Klre Island July 29 and, de
spite the rage and hair tearing of
the United States citizens, dropped
anchor and stayed there, just out
sldo the three-mile limit, until
August dawned.
Several other liners, one big one
from Italy among them, followed
suit. Os the stroke of midnight.
When July became August, there
Was a grand rush across the Hue.
With a tooting of whistles the Immigrant-bearing
cavalcade swept
down upon Ellis Island. Their pas
engers would have been In excess
of the first month's quota, but this
Was August now, and that was an
other matter.
It is reasonable to suppose, Im
migration officials say, that this
performance will be repeated
round September 1 nnd again the
first of each month until at mid
night, November 30, the last
grand rush begins.
To cope with the situation it has
been decided by local officials that
11 surplus Immigrants shall be ad
mitted upon personal bonds. If
they can find them, until October
1. It Is hoped that a federal law,
somewhat less exciting, will be en
acted before that time. It Is be
lieved that the framers of the pres
ent measure, which is temporary,
failed to foresee the Jasay effects
of their legislation.
So the Immigrants who val:
outside the line until the new
month begins are really wasting
their time, because they could get
In, anyway. But they don't know
It so the game is Just as exciting
as though it were real.
A Barbaric Custom
When a Japanese commander meets defeat in battle he
commits hara kiri, in accordance with the customs of his race
When an American captain loses his vessel in shipwreck,
he goes down with the ship, in accordance with tradition of
the sea.
Such acts may be called relics of barbarism", survivals of
the Spartan discipline that required a man to return with his
shield or upon it. They are supposed incentives to a man to
do his best, with his life as a forfeit for failure.
Yet it is questionable whether the sacrifice is of any value
to the world, whether humanity would not profit more by
the skill and trained services of those who have risen to
responsibility by merit and meet misfortune by accident,
than by their loss which profits no one.
The ablest soldiers lose battles through circumstances over
which they have no control and the best navigators are help
less in a dense fog amid uncharted reefs and drifts.
The Japanese could never develop a William of Orange
or a George Washington who became great soldiers
through repeated defeats that enabled them to win final
victory- And the sea loses the skill acquired in handling a
wreck when it bars those who have had the experience
and the loss of life is the greater in consequence.
If the law of the sea was applied to other callings, the
world would be depopulated rapidly, for most people are
failures before they are successes. It is the lessons acquired
by failure that build the most enduring success-
Success is far more demoralizing than failure. It is a
character destroyer rather than a character builder. It
brings out the domineering, selfish and unlovely traits latent
in all, while failure develops human sympathy, unselfishness
and charitableness. The person who has never known fail
ure has lost much that makes life worth living.
It is far easier for a captain to perish with his ship than it is
to live and endure the consequences. There is nothing heroic
about it any more than any other form of suicide. While a
sea captain should always be the last to leave the ship, it
iruers on cowardice when he makes no effort to preserve
mat which his Maker entrusted to his keeping.
Tabloid Sermons
For Busy People by
Parson Abiel Haile
"They that sow in tears shall reap In Joy." Psalms, 126-5.
The rare delight In reading the Psalms of David Is one of the
greatest pleasures open to every man and woman. We all of us at
heart are humans. Often we stray far and then, when w los the
way, we moan and weep. We have troubles, sorrows, Joys and they
all tend to temper us If we take them as we must as part of life
as It Is. David, exalted from shepard boy to earth's mightiest King,
was very human. He experienced every emotion know to man. He
may be taken as the hero of any story-love, fortune or fame: and In
his Psalms he records his emotions. In a lesser degree, alt of us
suffer the Jests and enjoy the rewards of fate; but not to all of us
Is given the gift to speak and write of our trials and our sentiments.
Thus David's psalms do it for us. David lived, In the fullest sense.
His conclusions are not the mere platitudes of a scribbler. They
toll tho story of a strong man who made his own mistakes and paid
for them. He lived to know things nB tbey were. Our text gives
us one of his great observation. History Is replete with the stories
ot men who achieved great things for themselves and for humanity,
and not one tells af a really worthy accomplishment by any other
Irrigation than tears; not necessarily briny. Bait boiling or blubber
ing, but the spirit of tears anguish, weariness, disappointment, re
buff and trials. Lincoln in tears sowed, and reaped In the Joy of
a rounited nation; Arkwrlght In tears built the first power loomed
and reaped lasting reward; Watt In tears gave us the steam engine;
Morse In tears perfected the telegraph; Howo In tears evolved the
Bcwlng machine; Susan Anthony In tears freed women; Washington
In tearB reaped the Joy of a nation ; Jesus, Who Wept, in tears gave
us Christianity: as the writer of our classic, creedlcss, "Nearer, My
God to Thee," wrote:
"Out ot my stony grief, Bethel I'll raise." So all of us can
only reap enduring Joy through a sowing In tears.
