We live in a queer period of the greatest history making era of modern times. Union services in memory of the late President of the United States. Warren G Harding, will be held in the Methodist church here Friday afternoon, during the same hours in which the funeral is held at his home town of Marion, Ohio. It is proper that we all cease toil during that l our and reverently pay our last rejects to a fellow leader. It is right tl .it the entire nation give all the r pect possible to the memory of i'. .

The day will be appropriately observed in Decatur. The regular monthly spectacle at Ellis Island should make every decent American hang Ids head in shame for his country. Ships loaded with immigrants race to get in so that their passengers may be admitted before the quotas are filled. Not only have these to submit to the idiotic red tape and disgusting conditions prevailing at Ellis island, but many of the unfortunates are turned back and sent whence the.f came,after having spent on their trips what are considerable fortunes in their own countries. Instead of the United States making its seleetion of immigrants abroad, at the source, and thus saving thousands of these poor and unfortunate people from making a long and futile trip only to end in disappointment and perhaps penury and greater hardship. we let them take the chance, regardless of what may happen to them. Nor is that the worst. Our consulates in Europe demand a fee of $1 for the mere registration oL-the name of a would-be immigrant, and the United States is said to be the gainer by more than $1,000,000 a year from persons who can not possibly get into this country. There is a further fee of $0 to vise the papers of those who start, although there is no certainty that the payer may not be turned back when he gets to our gates. That sort of thing in any c encern except a government would be called plain swindling. We talk a lot about our charity to Europe, but we accept sl, which is more than 1,000,000 marks, or $lO. which is a large sum in any country of central Europe, without giving the payer any guaranty whatever that he will get 1 value received, and thus we squeeze 1 a few millions of dollars out of the ‘ poverty-stricken regions upon which ! war has laid its heavy toll. It is all ‘ a national disgrace and dishonor. — ' Baltimore Sun. —o Are You Going to Walbridge Park, Toledo.

There were 1082 paid registrations this year as compared with 952 last season. These young people were given systematic instruction in the Bible, Missions, Stewardship, Citizenship, League and Sunday school methods, during the forenoon hours while the afternoons were taken up with acquatics and sports of various kinds, thus combining work and pleasure ip a most delightful fashion. The institution lias long since outgrown the accommodations at Wawasee. and so the Methodist church has very wisely purchsed a site of its own at Lake Webster. This is being! improved, now, and will be furnished, with a large auditorium seating 2,0001 people by next summer. One hundred lots have already been purchased on these grounds by leagues and inter-, ested individuals, many new cottages will be erected before another year.!
