Any immigration law, no matter how justly framed and wi-eh admin istered, will probably occasionally permit injustice and cause suffering, but there seems to he no real reason why sufficient discretion c.nnnot bo given | proper authority to make humane ex ceptions to impersonal law, when the j law interferes between man and 1 wife, mother and child, or son and . mother. A case in point is that of the mother of "Charlie" Chaplin. Mrs. Chaplin was admitted to this country as an alien, suffering from mental disease (due to shell shock) and permitted to remain for treatment for a. year. When the year was up she hecame subject to deportation as an undesirable alien, regardless of the fact that her internationally famous son, worth well over a mllion dollars, was doing all in his power to make her happy and comfortable, was providing her with a home, doctors, nurses, 4 pj, -j-wfuyprjir IER SMILE NOW- * SPENT IN JAIL sloved Thief Gets Three Year Term in Bedford I Prison IRL GOES A COURSE ' ina is Dupe of Her Thyroid Glands.

She was sentenced there by Judge illey in general sessions on two inctments alleging grand larceny and iminally. receiving stolen property, il October she pleaded guilty, but ceived a suspended sentence. Ten lys later she committed a theft ,-jnd v sappeared. When she reappeared Oswego about a week or two ago ie was held tor the New York auoritie1. The sentence means, perip , three years in the reformatory, i'reviou. to the summer of 1921 Ina's record was flawless. Then ie went to New York and beg.m inlying nursing at the Manhattan al<4 ho pit ;I on \\ aid's Island. Her mm there was Rose Reilly, another udenl nurse. One night after Rose jd retired the wanderlust seized dnu and she quickly bundled up o eV clothes, took Rose's money and lught .a New York Central train. On the t ruin a motherly old lady ok an interest in the pretty young aveler and offered her employment id a home. Kdna accepted and agreed to live with the old lady in. ornell. N.

Arrest and. imrisonmcnt in tin* county seat at Bath, * f. V., followed. Then came the first evidence of lUnu's winning* ways. The old lady died to get Edna out of jail and dis- ' iiss ihe charge. But Edna had spent day or so with the sheriff and his \ if'e and h/td won another home with leni. The sheriff was "daddy" to !dna then, and liked it. But the New ork authorities learned of the arest and seni Detective John CunnifF Di* Edna. Mn route there she imressed Cunniff so that he told reorters she was a '"fine little girl." In the Tombs Edna smiled upon harden llanley and he smiled back, 'hen appeared Edna's mother, whom * he had believed dead.

She wrote she vas unable to : ee anv one and signed lerself "Edna Wilsey." WILL WITHDRAW FROM RAC E News came over last week, too late "or publication in the issue of the Herald o f hist week, that E. T. rlughes, a candidate for Congress Tom the sixth district, had decided to withdraw from the race. Mr. Hughes had spent some time in his county in the interest of his canJidacy and had many friends in this county who would have supported lim. He says that he is withdrawing >n account of business reasons demanding his time at home. This leaves the race to W. R. Barringer, A. H. Gasque, J. 1. Pate awl P. If. Stoll. The race is still lively snough with Mr. Hughes out of the running. There may be other candiiates, of course. Maybe country people are isolated; but a hird symphony is better (ban a jazz orchestra, .*?nd a glorious sunset is more to bo admired than a movie thriller. and treatment. The case ibeing adjusted. It took "special rulings" and "opinions" of legal lights in the government to do it. It. should have needed nothing more than proper evidence before a commissioner of immigration. Those who think that "law is law," regardless of pei -ovial cases might try imagining their own mothers in Mrs. Chaplin's place; perhaps then they will see move clearly the need not only of intensive restriction of immigration, but of humanizing the administration of such laws. v . /,
