OUR HEW IMMIGRATION LAW
i The immigration law under which we are working is
restrictive than any legislation on the subject that this co
1 liaa ever before adopted !
j it fixes for three years the quota of immigrants! of any
nationality -admissible to the country at two per cent of the
number of that nationality in the country in the year: 1890
- J And. this -will mean,; if the. quotas are filled, about 160,000
; a year ; mostly from northern Europe ; mostly . the so called
Nordic peoples , . J
r And "it-provides . that -after three years the whole number
of immigrants shall no limited to 150,000 a year, divided among
tha nationalities according, to the .national origin of the whole
population; the latter, provision involving a Survey of national
orins.r,i:;"...,..;;.::: 1 ; . ... :. v.- . ! .: ; v
In point.of.the number of immigrants admitted, this new
? and stringent legislation takes us back seventy-eight years,' for
the number, of immigrants in the year 1846 was 154,419 and the
number in the. year next following that, 1847, had increased to
234,958 1 and from that time onward it increased at a dizzy rate
of speed, Teaching 427,823 in 1854. The Civil war checked the
inflow, but by 1873 it had again reached the figure of 459,803.
The greatest number ever received was in the year 1907, when
it had; amounted to "1,285,349." That a return to this or a still
greater figure by this time, but for some form of sharp restric
tion, was indicated by the fact that, in spite of the suspension
due to the World war and to a more rigid restriction, the num
ber of immigrants in. 1923 was 522,919. In the present state of
xaatters in Europe, the inflow by" this time would certainly have
I exceeded 2,000,000 a year, even if it had not gone greatly beyond
that sum;. . W ' ", , , . f :';,!v" ' . ! "' "m t
I In the 40s and '50s, when immigration first rose to a high
figure, the country, was in great part unsettled, and laboring
lipids were much. needed.-. Conditions also, favored the. ready
assliiilation . or the immigrants. : But the , great inflow from
southern Europe in the years preceding the World war changed
- the racial qualities of our immigrants. 'Our cities are congested
with foreign populations whb tp' a great extent cherish their
own languages and customsand who tend to imitate the nation
ilf vices rather than the national virtues'. A loud and insistent
v sail for restriction had 'gone forth, even, from the older immi
grants and it has been heeded. . ! . I 1
i Ah excellent principle whieli is embodied in this hew law
- Li ia the provision that takes away the responsibility, for the
selection of immigrants abroad in so far as selection is prac-
ticed from the steamship companies, and "puts it upon United
JJtates. consuls. Immigrants are required to fill up a certificate
which is -intended to guarantee us against the admission or at-
tempted entrance of those, who are outside the requirements.
: This transfers a great share of the examination of immigrants to
llie other side of the. water, where logically it belongs. "It will
tend to prevent the congestion, the hardships,; the scandals, of
"Ullis Island.. '. ' - ' . . . ; 1 , .
i Promulgations on the administration of ; the new law, if
wisely niade. and intelligently .adhered to, will bring ; about a
hiraplification of eontrol that will allow of a sifting on the
other , side.'of, the .Atlantic that will prove beneficient ;
That will keep our country from being used as a dumping
i ground for undesirables; for people who would have great dif
4 ficulty in finding cbngenial; places and proper employment in
; this country, and who would tend to become public charges here.
i ' ".Canada carefully selects her prospective immigrants. We
should do the same. If this cannot be well done through the
proper administration of the present law, provision for strength-
eningjts administration ought to be provided by Congress.:
Our melting pot is being run to capacity now. We must not
, add too much to its, over burdened capacity. ; f j f
? If all our cherry growers had heeded the yelling the Slogan
. editor did while the present tariff law was under consideration
by the committees of Congress, and had acted vigorously, they
would now be getting at least 8 cents a pound for their-Royal
x Ann cherries." They are worth' it. The Slogan editor' almost
O elled his fool head of f, and wrote a lot of letters and sent some
, dispatches. But he got precious little help from the people
whom. he was seeking directly to help, along with all the rest
of our people who profifrom the prosperity of any one group.
The growers might get a change in the rate, if every one on the
; coast who is interested could; be aroused to action, and if they
Atould keep it up Mtill the cows come home.? "Butthis.is not
likely. They can,-however, through the clauses providing for
elastic rates? get the duty raised from 2 to 3 cents a pound.
But .even this will take a lot of work on somebody part. .It
will not be an easy job.' The maraschyio trust lobby will not
lie sleeping. - - ' ; s-.-"- v,- - -r::? ".. ' ..J:-

PROPERLY EXPLAINED
A dear good lady who Is a very
devoted republican writes the Ore
gon Statesman that ' her feelings
are hurt because of the apparent
profanity attributed to the repub
lican vice presidential candidate.
She does not believe in harsh
things and harsh words, but also
she does not believe that we are
quite fair to General Dawes. Here
is one paragraph .from her letter:
"I want to protest against the
flipancy of the newspapers In re
ferring to the expressions by Gen
eral Dawes. I am . one of his
greatest admirers, but I do not
admire him as a profane man. and
do not believe Chat the public
ought to get that Idea of him. He
is not a profane man but a good
useful American. I notice that
his call for Helen Maria has been
distorted into almost profanity. It
Is unfair. . . ,
"I , once knew a young girl
named iHelen Hunt who found a
glove, at church. " That night the
minister announced that If anyone
had lost a glove they could go
to Helen Hunt for It. Straight
way the remark was distorted and
It was looked upon as a consign
ment of poor Helen to a place she
did not care to go.
"Let us be fair and give Helen
Maria her Just dues and not have
her appear as a distorted creature
before the public." f
We gladly give this explanation
and if there Is any other doubt
ing republicans we commend it to
them.
SHIFTING XOT AX EVASION
There are those who insist that
shifting- taxes is the same thing
as evading taxes. Since the be
ginning- of government there has
been an outcry against the burden
from taxation. When Pompeii was
excavated It was discovered that
at the time of the catastrophe
there was a vigorous tax reduction
campaign being waged and pla
cards promised a reduction ' if
Marcus Agracus was elected tax
collector. Since that time we have
had the same old story and prob
ably always will have.
In Oregon we are trying desper
ately to shift the burden of taxa
tion so thatthe result will be
fair, yet we are met with the same
old thing, that we are imposing a
new tax and allowing certain peo
ple to evade. Certainly there has
been enough tax evasion In the last
1900 years that It is time for a
square deal, and certain It is that
a shifting of the-taxes In an earn
est effort to make a better dlstri
button of the burden is to be com
mended and not set down as an
evasion. ' v
IT IS GONE
There is no use in paying any
further attention to the farm labor
party organized in St. Paul. It
was a fiasco pure and simple. It
was like a bumble bee largest
when first hatched. When it was
assembling the noise made caused
a good many people to believe
there was something really back of
it. When it met it was found to
be a noisy aggregation, beating
tom-toms to prevent the public
from taking- a' true measure of
the- convention. However, the
communists talked fairly, yet they
never failed to get In their work.
The . nominees are unimportant,
and the party will not get enough
votes to pay very much .attention
to them. ; ' , ' ' '
There is Just one point however,
and that shows how far apart the
discontented elements are. It is
impossible to get them together
under one tent. They are Individ
ualistic and they are not going to
get , behind any one candidate
The campaign this year will be be
tween the republicans and the
democrats.
A REVERSION
The Rhode Island senate .was
treated to an injection of poison
ous fumes. It is difficult to un
derstand that this happened in the
year 1924. It sounds like Primev
al times. The savages never did
anything worse than this and they
didn't call themselves civilized.
Such things indicate how close the
average man is to the primeval.
He doesn't have to scratch very
much off his back to see the skel
eton of the aborigine. ; Our boast
of civilization, on such occasions
as this finds expression in diaboli
cafism that causes the gravest
concern as to our capacity for self-
government.

THE WAY MOTHER GRAHAM
MADE HER APPEARANCE
"It's, a ; crime .to disturb you,,"
Lillian said softly, as she. smiled
down at me. Marion, sound , a-
sleep, was cuddled againt myfher up a cup. so I'm not afraid
shoulder, ; and,,. Indeed. I was not
far from slumber myself, despite
tht ' flight and" excitement I ' had
Just undergone. '7
" With infinite care we 'moved
the" curly head from 'my shoulder'
to the pillow; iThen, with Lil
lian's hand aiding me, I slipped
from the bed without disturbing
Marion's slumber. I waited untM
we; were ont'of.lbe room before
answering her regretful little
speech.;. A - ( :. ,t, '
; - "Ifs- a' crime - for me to be so
near sleep," 1 answered, "when
you' are so troubled, but I'll defy
anybody ' to, croon ' .'The House
That Jack Built very long with
out dozing." - -v :
"So that's the way you put, her
to i sleep," Lillian commented,
"It's always sure "fire, Isn't it?
Pity we" can't work Jt on your
mother-in-law.
We were at. the stairs by this
time, well out of earshot, but
Lillian- spoke in as. subdued a
whisper as though Dick's formid
able parent were at " her elbow.
Ana even arter ; we reacned tue
kitchen, to which, a little to my
surprise, Lillian led the way
she kept her volce'to a murmur.
"What will -you take ' to make
a pot of, your unparalled coffee?"
she asked,' peering with practiced
housewifely air into the kitchen
stove, after she had softly closed
the door leading to the dining
room, i "I see Kate . prudently
has her wood fire all laid for
breakfast, but it won't hurt her
to build It again, and ,1 simply
shall lie down in the corner nnd
pass out to slow, music If I dou't
have a cup of coffee soon." .
"You never knew me to refuse
one, did yon?" I asked, taking
down the percolator as she app
lied a match to the shavings in
the stove. "But I warn you that
closed "door. Von'tT keep the ar
oma of . thia -from.. Mother Gra
ham's "nostrils.";. If every . keyhole
and - crack .in ; the house - were
stopped ,up, she'd ' smell coffee

put In enough for her.' . ; - '
Madge Is Apprehehsive -
- "Of course. Make a' pot vthile
you're about It for we shall have
a guest with us in a few minutes.
Now I'll - Inter t lew the refriger
ator and the pantry, and see
what sort of a snack I can rout
out for a hungry man."
; I turned from. the coffee-grinder
and stared at her In amazement.
Tom Chester will be here in
minutes' she said. "That he
will be if my hunch as to Smith's
probable homeward course hold
true.- I never knew a youth his

The success of an Industrial
plant, a business concern, a bank
inff Institution, or a public serv
ice corporation, depends upon the
character of the organization
which- manages its affairs. The
same Is true of a religious, fra
ternal or social organization.
The success of the -liberty loan
drives depended wholly upon the
efficiency of the organization con
ducting them.
No matter how splendid the
purpose, how. desirable the object
or how praiseworthy the policies
of a publie movement, it is nec
essary that it be well .organized
to attain its ends.. So a poli.icel
party must have a strong and
sound organization in addition to
strong candidates and sound pol
icies. This is necessary In ordoi to
wage campaigns. It Is doubly es
sential when a party is intiusted
with the administration of the
government, for party loyalty,
party regularity and party or
ganization Is then needed to
meet responsibilities, to redrein
pledges made by the party to the
people and wisely to manage the
public's business.
As in any organization worthy
of the name, loyalty is the first
requirement in political organiza
tions. Party loyalty is not only"
necessary to the successful con
duet of party organization, but it
is a great civic virtue.' Every cit
izen should belong to some party,
be loyal to it. and actively partici
pate in its organization.

head to say or do? i
She had confined her remarks
to my ears upon the first occasion,
but I had no assurance, that she
would not express her disapproval
of his presence In the house before
Lillian, or even before Tom Ches

of the last contingency I shivered
involuntary and glanced up to see
Lillian looking at me with whim
sical sympathy.
Mother Graham's Orders.
"Don't wory," she said, still
in a .- murmuring monotone. "I
have your doughty mother-in-law
lashed to the mast, with the idea
firmly fixed in her head that any
untoward movement on her part
would send the whole ship of etate
plunging into a whirling abyss.

knows we're going to make cof-

she's too tired and sleepy to make
a full toilet, and she would face

There was a familiar footfall
on the dining-room floor, and the
next instant Mother Graham
majestic in her gray dressing
gown, the braided wisps of her
hair covered with a silk cap, her
feet decorously shod in gray slip
pers instead of the red yarn ones
which had completed the ludicrous
cloture in her bed-room stalked
into the kitchen. -'

CHAPTER 195
THE REASON MADGE BEGAN
TO DOUBT HER OWN EYES
Lillian and I looked at each
other, heroically concealing our
mirth, as Mother-Graham with the
air of having accomplished some
thing at least comparable to the
discovery of America, turned from
the stove after having prepared
the coffee to her own notion.
"There!" she saidi' "That will
be something like Coffee! I'll Just
wait here until it's ready, and take
my cup up with me. There's a
certain moment when coffee is
just at its perfection, and I want
mine at that Instant. Then you
can do what you please with It."
She sat down In a kitchen chair,
folded her arms and watched with
critical majesty our; hurried pre
parations for the "snack" of which
Lillian had spoken." A leg of lamb
left from dinner, from which I
carved thin " slices," home-made
bread and butter,, a dish of currant
jelly, another of app'e sauce, de
licious layer cakes -these we plac
ed upon the dining-table . under
Mother Graham's Inspection, and
to a, running accompaniment of
comment.
"Please Remember." '
" "Isn't there any parsley in the
house?" she demanded, as I took
up the, small platter of sliced meat
and started with it to the dining
room. "That ape of a Katie gen
erally baj sense enough to gather
some fresh every day. She likes-!
the. looks of it herself, I reckon,
or she'd never remember it.".
- 'Yes, there are some sprays in
the refrigerator', I said quietly.?

A STORY OF TWO BOYS AND THEIR STRING OF FISH
A,H2:n of pounds apiece. Thenie swam fast but by thetl
rn afternoon JJennie Eeauin
took his fishing pole, dug, up a
few choice angleworms for bait,
and started across town for the
river. As he got to the corner, he
heard his small brother Don's pip
ing voice call out: "You're goin'
fishln'! Let me go, too!"
"Naw, you're too Jittle to go'
replied Ben, walking on. The
smaller boy begged so that Bennie
finally consented. Little Brother
tagged along and while Ben sat
on the bank waiting for a big
catch, he played in the sand.
Bennie sat quietly for an hour
or more and all he caught was
three tiny sunfishes. He knew if
he carried such small ones through
the streets, his friends would hoot
at him. He was Just wondering
what to do when Little Brother be
gan to beg to be allowed to carry
them. "They're just about his
size," grinned Ben as he handed
over the . small prizes to the six-year-old.
: , :
Don carried home, the fishes as
proudly as though they had weigh-
meat? That plate looks like a
lunch set out for the laundress on
the tubs."
'I forgot It, I fancy I said apol
ogetically, willing to eat any
amount of humble pie to keep her
placated. "I'll fix it right away."
"-See that you do" she retorted,
and I went to the pantry to get
the parsley with an ironical little
smile' quirking my lips. I too,
like-a touch of green around a
plate of cold meat, but I had not
dared thus to embellish the one In
my hand for fear my mother-in-law
would accuse me of trying to
make the table attractive for Tom
Chester.
i purposely, fingered over my
task as long "as I dared, and -was
rewarded when 'I returned by the
sight of Mother Graham drinking
the cup of coffee for which she
had waited. She drained the cup,
poured herself a second cup, dis
daining our proffer of it, and rose
with the cup in her hand.
"I'll Just take this upstairs with
me," ghe said. "Now, Mrs, Under
wood, please remember what I
told you."
That Proves Nothing."
She marched out of the room-
there ia no other word to de
scribe the gait with the cup of
coffee held out like a bandleader's
baton. We waited tensely until
the closing of her room door told
us that she was safe for the night,
and then we laughed, noiselessly,
but consumingly, until we were
almost helpless.
' : "You can't! guess, I suppose'
Lillian said at last, wiping heir
eyes, "what I'm to remember
I shook my head, although a
shrewd notion of her meaning
had come to me. But I could not
acknowledge it to Lillian.
."I'm to see that you conduct
yourself with the propriety and
general demeanor of an 18th cen
tury matron," she said. "If you
were a convent-bred young thing
about to meet the world for the
first time she couldn't be more
solicitious. So do promise you'll
behave. Look here, if you dare
to ; take that, or your ; mother-in-law
seriously, I'll I'll spank you,
If it's the last thing I ever do."

next time Bennie went fishing he
asked his little brother to go,
thinking that maybe his catch
might not be large again and Lit
tle Brother could relieve the em
barrassment by. carrying the
string.
Bennie fished and he fished. He
didn't have even one nibble. Final
ly he called to Little Brother who
was building a sand tunnel: "I'm
going in swimming. You hold the
pole and if we get a bite, you call
me." The smaller boy was de

to fish, so while Bennie paddled
