The . innocent by standers, the people of the United States who depend upon coal di rectly ;or Indirectly,, have been and will continue, to be the great est sufferers from " the ' bad con ditions leading up to the strike, and that must attend its continu ance for either a short or a long time. Some way must be found to protect the public against such industrial warfare. .There Is no rightful place in the United States for,, such warfare, affecting the llres and comforts and general well being of a. whole .-people. Strikes of, all kinds are growing more unpopular In this country, and the time Is here when they should be made Impossible, , In dustrial peace is as necessary as peace from armed conflicts. - Lillian Russell, or Mrs. Alexander P. Moore as she ought perhaps how to be called, has returned from a visit to Europe of-a. little more than two months with a rather gloomy .view of; the outlook for immigration. She made an investigation of the situation as an agent of the Department of Labor and has reported her findings at much length. Her conclusion U that the immigration of recent years has been from a class i of people that arrests rather than aids the development of a nation, that the more desirable people are needed at home arid are stay irigthere, that a great deal of trickery is being employed In' smuggling immigrants into the United States. I; She believes it would be a good thing for this country to put a ban on" all immigration for fi ve years; and she would like to see the naturalization laws amended to require a resi dence of 21 years as a prerequisite to citizenship. Meanwhile she urges the ifequirement .of mental and physical jtests of prospective immigrants by American "physicians abroad, au thority for consuls to refuse vises to, unfit persons, making a felony of the giving of false information concerning the eligi bility of applicants for admission to the United States and amendment of the 3 per cent quota law to allow the regula tion by the Secretary of Labor of the numbers of immigrants tope admitted from any one country. .. . . I, CThe purpose of the last stiggestfon is to make' it possible; WUilC XCbttliliil U VCi VCI1I AH4AAllUilA iUUli AVA,U countries together, to admit persons .in excess oi that per centage from countries- furnishing particularly desirable im migrants; When, .for: instance, the demands of industry call for unusual numbers of specially qualified persons. " : Mrs. Moore's emphasis upon the' desirability; of closer scrutiny abroad of prospective immigrants accords with the opinion of many observers ;-'y-' ; ''!'"' ' : : But few will accept her sweeping criticism of recent im migrants as a class, for it is not reasonable to suppose that the appeal of America as a "promised land'! no longer reaches any except those who are not wanted in. their native lands. That it is the ambitious and the venturesome; rather than the contented and the timorous who seek new homes pr new places in which to improve their material condition is still true; will ever be true."'

The Democratic newspapers of Oregon are very anxious concern ing the Republican candidates for the' various state offices. - Of coarse, the Russians will at tend the Genoa conference. They have nothing to lose. - The following is a paragraph taken from the current weekly financial letter of Henry Clews, the Wall Street authority: "About the only unfavorable element In the present business situation is furnished by the strikes In the New' England textile district. The proposed coal strike, if made ef fective on the 's national scale which is now being attempted, may prove something of a deter rent to business, but the financial community has fairly Veil made up Its mind that such a strike cannot succeed: and that it is probably not likely to bar-very long continued!-v'There ean be no doubt that trade expansion 13 now well . under way and that many plants which have been shut down will soon be Working full time again.

The writer has been trying to make up his mind as to which side is right in the coal! strike,. The temporary ,oncli slon Is that both are wf ong. " There are Tic ious practices and' unreasonable demands on the part of the strik ers, and there has been a, great Ex-Governor Cox will campaign in Massachusetts against the re election of ' Senator Tydge.

' They seemed very Jolly, and took a seat only a short, distance from Johnny's. He heard them laugh several times, and was rather surprised to hear one. of them address a , remark un der the seat.

Residence Much Damaged By Fire Early Last Night Fire, presumably from a defect ire flue, damaged the residence of Ben H. Drager. ,647 South Com mercial street early Monday night. Firemen succeeded in controlling the flames by efficient use of chemical and water, although the blase had made such headway in the dry woodwork of the frame structure. . The damage was about $1,000. . Mr. Drager, who is warehouse man of the Standard Oil company, succeeded in recovering a port folio of valuable business records and memoranda from the burn ing building. Although the leath er carrier was slightly burned the contents were uninjured, it was stated. Alonzo T. Wain Is owner of the residence. It is now admitted that there Is no life on Venus.
