The Growing Canker in
America.
Are you faxing any attention to
the immigration situation? Do you
know that mne-tuuhs of the Rolshe
viki and anarchists in the United
States can hardly speak English,
have hardly any knowledge of this
country beyond the region that their
leg.v and eyes and ears take them?
lis Island is the New York entry
point of most of the immigrants.
When they land they find beautiful
buildings all ready for their recep
tion. These buildings are kept spot
lessly clean. There are playgrounds
for the children, a nursery for the
smaller ones, nurses and doctors for
the sick and a magnificent hospital
for those that need it.
Despite this welcome, the minute
they land on the mainland from the
Ellis Island paradise they receive
and imbibe ' the poison of anarchy
and revolution." Before thev have
gone a block each one has been giv
en a pamphlet or card, printed in a
half-dozen languages, containing the
following statements:
"Immigrants, remember that this
is a capitalistic Government. Re
member it is a dirty and rotten Gov
ernment, where your life will be ex
ploited. Join some revolutionary so
ciety and help us overthrow this
wicked Government."
Here are hundreds of thousands of
iimple minds arriving every' year anJ
receiving this creed as the first i-v
precsion fi tuck away in their brains.
Simple minds that know nothing
about America or Americans. Is it
to be wondered at if they join a revo
lutionary society where they will
thereafter hear nothing else but the
foregoing sentiments elaborated up
on and dilated upon in season and
out of season? And so hearing be
come dangerous?
The question is: Will American
citizens who know better allow this
canker to grow in their midst until it
overwhelms them?

to be used with caution it is true, yet
the recall was adopted so as to give
the public the opportunity to replace
a servant who is believed to be in
competent or unfaithful. If it is the
judgment of the public that our com
missioners are in this category the
plain and obvious course is to remove
them. If a man is not doing his duty
the sooner he is dismissed the better.
This applies in private business and
it is equally true in public life. Pen

Lincoln said "Property is the fruit
of labor." That's true, and it is also
true that without energetic efforts
and conscientious service, we need
not hope to succeed. Success de
pends, not only on our efforts to give
full value for the compensation we
receive, but upon our efforts to ren
'der a higher degree of service than
that for which we are being paid
During the past three years, due no
doubt to conditions created by the
war, a feeling of indifference has
crept into the ranks of working peo
ple, and has exercised a strange and
damaging influence.
The war and its mysterious influ
ences are rapidly becoming a thing
of the past; the march of progress is
again in motion, and those of us who
fail to keep in line will be forced to
drop out of the procession. The day
has returned for efficient service
a full day's work must be done, and
the man or woman who produces
such service has an excellent oppor
tunity to succeed. Those who are
still believing that success should
come their way without working for
it, are going to find the future roads
exceedingly rough to travel.
Recall for the Public Service
Commission.
Active steps toward the recall of
the public service commission are
being taken in Portland. Only one
commissioner is subject to recall at
present but the two other members
may be recalled, if the people desire,
after a lapse of six months.
Resentment toward the comnhv
sion grows out of a series of acf by
the commission but is chiefly found
ed on the ruling of the commission
in favor of the heavy increase in tel
eprone rates. At a time when other
prices are falling and an unemploy
ment situation confronts the state the
commission has authorized the phone
company to advance rates an aver
age of 30 per cent or more. In some
instances the increase has been 100
per cent, it is claimed.
AH this in the face of an audited
report by the Bell system showing
that its net profits for last year were
the largest in historv, being over
$50,000,000 after taking off some
$65,000,000 for depreciation and the
further showing that telephone stock
is far stronger in the market than
railroad stock or other industrial
stocks or even liberty bonds.
In the julgment of this newspaper
the public service commission acted
very incompetently in the telephone
case. This view may be entirely
wrong but why in the name of com
mon sense does a utility corporation
that has just finished a most glo
rious financial year need a rate boost
at a time when labor and material
costs are declining?

Another Alleged ' Consump
tion" Cure.
One of the saddest things we know
of is the perennial announcement by
some faker or some over-enthusiastic
student that "a cure has at last been
discovered for consumption." They
all turn out bad. Not that we would
not hail with delight a true cure, or
that we would even hint to the scien
tists that they halt their quest for a
cure. But these fake announcements
raise hopes in millions of sufferers,
and their friends and relatives, that
are doomed to disappointment.
Now we have a cable from Paris
that a cure for tuberculosis has been
discovered in that city. We hope it
is the real goods, but the chances
are that it is not the hoped-for cure.
Everybody's heart goes out to
those who are battling the dreaded
white plague. These people are real
fighters real heroes. They never
give up until the enemy takes its toll.
Our advice to the tubercular and
their friends is to continue to follow
the instructions of their physicians. '
Do what your doctor says, get all the
fresh air possible do not overdo, rest
as much as possible, don't worry.
And fight on and on.
