FOOLISH IMMIGRATION LAWS
(Columbia Record)
That the United States is poorly
served by its present immigration
laws is evident to most persons who
have taken the trouble to study the
problems of illiteracy of undesirable
aliens who fail to understand or live
by our. standards of American life, or
who follow the curious methods by
which admission to this country is
sometimes obtained ?fraud, smuggling,
or lack of care on the pa.I of
authority.
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,

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

running. There may be other candiiates,

but a hird symphony is better (ban a
jazz orchestra, .*?nd a glorious sunset

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.
