"Wliat's Wrong With People? the iJa Grande held nn important dly election and only iihuiit ton per cent of the people votecV. What' wrong? Don't pfopl" know history reveals the fit-ice fuel that when the framhiaj is neglected and jiiactieally disregard ed a monarchy encroaches and buo.i taken charge? ftvery re;iuhlic in old en time was supplanti-d hy h monarchy because the people threw away those cherished rights of expressing by hol lot their preference and their opin ions. What's the matter, anyway? tragedy uf thone who make tne jour ney oidy to be denied admittance, Kcp lesentaiive Albert Johnson of Wash ington hit introduced a bill to have piospeetive immigrant examined at the Americun consulates abroad, unu either turned back there or recom mended for admission to this country in accordance with the findings of the examination, j This would mean a culling out of the unworthy with reasonable, as surance that the immigrant unlikely j to be udmitled wouhi never reach our! shores.

We built ships fasl-er, in an emergency; and as it appears now, wc built them worse of poorer quality and by more wasteful methods. Ju.it how bad the record is it is hard to determine, because of the complicated record and the partisanship involved. Proved guilt should be punished, and proved incompetence criticised unspar ingly.
