Justice Hard to Dispense Where Human Woe and Misery Exist

By CHARLES NAGEL.

retary of Commerce and Labor

HMAN who daily faces the record of HUMAN WOE, of HEARTACHE, of MISERY and sometimes of brutality to be found at Ellis island, the immigrant station of New York,, rises, if he rises at all, to heights of earnest desire to ameliorate the conditions of HUMAN SUFFER-

ING with an intensity that is unknown to those who make sweet mouthfuls of “social betterment” and kindred phrases in feeble attempts to help without perceiving the cause. * . The sights we see at Ellis island and the aspects of life which that great concourse of all nations presents in the way of PATHOS, MISERY, TRAGEDY and the agony of despair Kipling could not describe. No artist can paint such a picture, and those who are safeguarded in the COMFORT AND PROTECTION OF HOME and friends can but very imperfectly realize it. WE SUFFER CRITICISM FROM TIME TO TIME IN DIRECTIONS AND TO DEGREES THAT ARE WHOLLY UNDESERVED. MY GREAT REGRET IS THAT THE CONDITIONS ARE NOT FULLY UNDERSTOOD. OUR MEN ARE OFTEN DESCRIBED AS BEING COLD HEARTED IN THE DISCHARGE OF THEIR DUTIES, BUT WE KNOW DIFFERENTLY. While no man can safely wear his heart on his sleeve, the innumerable cases where inspectors go FAR OUT OF THEIR WAY to make admission possible, to be blind to unimportant facts, to be deaf to some answers, to make up deficiencies by subscriptions and similar discretionary discharges of kindly offices—all these serve to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that a spirit of tender heartedness pervades the service and that the dispensation of justice is well tern-' pered with mercy.

Air Navigation Belongs to the Civilization of the Future, wif *M War to the Past I By WILLIAM RANDOLPH HEARST. CHE CONDUCT OF WAR BELONGS TO THE BLACK BARBARISM OF THE PAST. THE NAVIGATION OF THE AIR BELONGS TO THE BRIGHT CIVILIZATION OF THE FUTURE, A CIVILIZATION ON THE BARE THRESHOLD OF WHICH WE REVERENTLY TREAD. War might have use for the arts and sciences of civilization, but a HIGHER CIVILIZATION CAN NEVER CONSENT to lend its agencies for the PERPETRATION OF THE CRUELTIES AND BARBARITIES OF WAR. I believe that a very few years will see the armies and navies of the WHOLE WORLD reduced to form merely disciplined forces of INTERNATIONAL POLICE, and the duties of these forces will be not to make war, but to keep the PEACE. In those happy days of universal peace and international police protection the military departments of our government may have use for an aeroplane division, but only as a sort of AERIAL BICYCLE SQUAD.’ «•••••••••••••••••••• •••••••••••••••• eaao a «<>••••••* •• • • : Heaven Is Not a Palace In j : the Sky ;Itls a Thing j | of the Spirit j • ■ . • ••••••••••••••••*•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••*•••••• • ¥ * By Rev. L. J. EVERS of New York * r • • • REAVEN is not a place. It is a thing of the spirit. HEAVEN IS ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE. IT IS NOT A PALACE IN THE SKY, AS THE OLD LITERAL THEOLOGIANS WOULD HAVE US BELIEVE. IT IS ' A STATE OF MIND. Every bit of the gorgeous Biblical description of heaven is simply intended to convey an impression of its BEAUTY in terms that might be understood by the AVERAGE oriental mind, for which the Bible was first written. HI were discussing music with a great composer I might use the most highly technical language to describe its beauty. But if I were talking to a humble, half taught violin player I should have to speak very differently, using terms with which he was familiar. So in bringing the conception of heaven close to the ordinary man one must use words and phrases and descriptions which he will understand and which he can visualize for himself. , j

A GIRLISH COSTUME

Satin de Soie U the Material Used.

COSTUME OF NAVY BLUE SATIS DE SOIE.

Satin de soie is a material that is having great vogue this fall and will be popular all through the winter both for suits and dresses. The fetching little costume illustrated is of this fabric in the new dark shade of navy blue. The skirt is marrow anti straight and slightly gathered about the waist Two deep tucks form the skirt trimming. The much exploited peasant waist is employed. A rather novel neck treatment IS outlined with dull gold cord, edged with narrow black braid. Black cord is drawn through the white moilsseline chemisette, and a cordeliere of black silk is attached at the waist line.

The Shiny Coat or Suit.

It often happens that a garment wears shiny while still serviceable. One hates to discard it and at the same time dislikes the appearance of continued use. In such case a bit of diluted distilled white vinegar rubbed on with a woolen cloth will raise the nap and impart a look of newness that will give it a new lease of life. The garment will need a good airing to remove the odor of the vinegar. In this way the usefulness of a suit may be prolonged till it can be laid aside for a heavier or a lighter one. according to the season.

Now Hat Ornament.

Ribbon Is being manipulated in a number of wonderfully clever ways on the fail., bats. And perhaps the best imitation of the popular aigret has

Designed by Ora Cne. AN AIGRET OF RIBBON. been achieved this season with wired satin ribbon. This very fetching effect was designed by Ora Cne. the man milliner.

What David Starr Jordan Says.

David Starr Jordan, president of Iceland Stanford university, in a recent address, in which be declared woman suffrage to be inevitable, said: ’‘As men have learned through responsibility, women will learn, and! when both have learned there will be a double degree of wisdom to govern the world. We need the help of both men arid women to do the things that need doing. The time is past when we refuse women the ballot because they cannot fight, for the business of killing men is coming to an end.”
