THE IMMIGRATION QUESTION is of great mmport in 
our modern social life; but its solution is not as simple 
as some politicians may suggest. Congressman Gardner 
seems to be willing to endanger his own candidacy by 
advocating a mestriction of wmmmigration, The oppos- 
ing candidates are not only too glad to warp his views 
and use them as campaign material, particularly in cater- 
ing to the foreign vote. Mr. Gardner’s position is sound 
and the better class of citizens who ‘think for themselves 
are forced by the simple laws of reason to accept the 
Captain’s intent as one of good will to all. One of the 
imminent problems of the day is the question of immi- 
gration. ‘he high cost of living slogan is worn thread- 
bare. In applying his attention to the question of law 
and immigration Congressman Gardner is conducting a 
campaign of public education along lines that cannot fail 
to be productive of good, independent of his election to 
the governorship. 
THe Tripute Parp hy the directors of the Boston 
Museum of Fine Arts at their annual meeting and placed 
upon the records of the:corporation are of interest to all 
who make their home along our Shore, “By the death of 
Frances Bartlett, the Museum thas lost its largest bene- 
factor and one of its wisest. He served as trustee for 
twenty-three years. He has been put on important com- 
mittees; in 1911 he gave $100,000 for the purchase of 
objects of art; in 1912 he gave property valued at $1,- 
350,000. The terms of this last gift were extraordinari- 
ly libenal and far-seeing. He personally preferred two 
directions of expenditure, namely the, purchase of works 
of art, which would add distinction to the collections of 
classical antiquities and of paintings; but he left the trus- 
tees free after the lapse of three years to spend the in- 
come and even the principal of his endowment as they 
should think best. The trustees make record here of their 
high respect and admiration for the public-spirit, the 
generosity and the wisdom of Francis Bartlett.” ‘These 
minutes are concise, accurate and forceful. They lack 
fulsome adjectives and flattering praise, but what more 
can bespeak the appreciation of the corporation than the 
sinple straightforward statement of the great work tine 
man accomplished by his personal gifts of time and 
inoney. The museum has lost a good friend.

PresIDENT WILson while opposed vigorously by the 
Republican party previous to ‘his election is now openly 
and warmly comme uded by his political opponents. This 
may well be dove, ‘or resident Wilson has maintained 
the dignity of his position and has happily relieved the 
country of the old wound caused by the antagonism 
shown by Roosevelt to Taft. As much as Mr. Taft de- 
served @ renomination it cannot but be recognized that 
his misfortune has been a great peace-giver to the coun- 
try as a whole. If Tait had ‘been re-elected the open 
fight would have been continued for four years and would 
have resulted in a greater defection within the party than 
exists ‘oday. President Wilson’s policies are beng work- 
ed out wth the aid of the majority party, and in a re- 
public majorities must rule. The Republican party, nat- 
urally, has no interest in the fulfilment of the Democratic 
policies, but it is well that the country has a practical op- 
portunity to demonstrate the truth or the folly of the 
Democraic plans. As for the President himself, he is 
proving to be a worthy man endowed with high ideals 
and with a determination to let right reign supreme. His 
management of the Mexican situation has been masterly 
and his recent assertion that ethics must take precedence 
over expediency has been evident throughout his admin- 
istration. 
Ir Was A Wise Move on the part of President Wil- 
son to announce in his Mobile speech the policies of our 
country relative to the gaining of territory. ‘There are 
still many who live in Europe who do not know and un- 
derstand our governmental temperament against terri- 
torial aggrandisement. 
Tue Lovers oF PEAcE will oppose the battleship bill 
that has been introduced into Congress. There are ardent 
lovers of peace who feel that peace may best be preserved 
by being prepared to protect one’s interests. A formida- 
ble navy need not necessarily mean a belligerent policy 
on the part of the American people.
