THE inability 'of Congress to function grows more ap parent daily. None of the big national problems have been solved, and as a result national and internation al unrest continues. - - Congress talks continuously. It probes continuously. It plays politics continuously, but it does nothing con structive. The president backed by public opinion, forced the big war program through an unwilling congress, which only interrupted its flood of abuse and billingsgate long I enough to pass the required legislation after intermin able debate. Now congress is avenging itself by talking the country to death. Stable conditions cannot be established until the peace treaty is ratified yet nine months debate has got us nowhere and the prospect is offered of having a new conference to keep the world in turmoil and unrest an other year. Congress made a bluff of attacking the high cost of living and gushed like a geyser several billion more wordsbut did nothingto stop the profiteering. It has talked a year on the railroad issue and has done noth ing. It has failed to do anything for the returned soldier, refused to pass the reconstruction measures, left unsolved the power problem and all other important issues. There seems to be no real statesmanship displayed. What leadership- there is, is of the ward caucus variety. The impotency and inefficiency displayed, the continual croaking, the persistent hammering, the pettifogging partisanship in this crisis of the world's affairs are cause for national humiliation. . .. ...,; ..'

SLOWLY, steadily, the Japanese continue their peaceful penetration of the Pacific coast states, and their presence constitutes a grave menace to western civiliz ation. Despite stringent immigration laws, the number of Japanese steadily increases. In certain regions they already outnumber the whites and wherever they obtain a foothold, theyeventually secure possession. Japs are numerous enough in California and Wash ington to control certain lines of industry, own entire communities and publish daily newspapers. They come with the intention of permanently remaining and in the heart of eyery Jap lies the ambition to make the coast country Japanese. - . "As an expedient for solving the labor problem, the Jap is a failure, He labors for Americans only until he has learned the language and he soon demands higher wages than the native and engages in business for him self He solves the labor problem only for Japanese em ployers., ';; " ' , . The Japanese can never be absorbed in the "melting pot", because inherent racial differences make amalgama tion impossible. Neither has he any intention of being absorbed. He soon secures a picture bride and there is never any question of race suicide. There are already Japs enough here to populate the country in another cen tury, even if no more were admitted. There are fewer Japs in Oregon than elsewhere, though every city has a quota and the fruif-growing sec tions their advance guard. In a short period, however, the state will be overrun and we will wake up some morn ing to find these aliens in practical possession of some of pur fairest regions. . ...... , Senator Dillingham of Vermont has introduced a bill removing all restriction from European immigration and letting down the bars for Asiatics. It would admit the en trance of 12,500 Jap coolies a year as ordinary immi grants,, the proportion to constantly increase and enum erates so many favored classes aird privileged persons that the number who could come would be practically un limited. . , . . The East has worshipped so long at the shrine of the golden calf that it does net hesitate to place the dollar above patriotism and sacrifice future welfare for present gain. The captains of industry have deluged . the land with alien undesirables to reap greater profit and it is not to.be wondered at that they countenance the proposal to. plant an alien people along the Pacific upon the specious pleas of a Tew Western employers. '.' The people of the East do not realize the menace that the Japanese constitute, as climatic conditions safeguard their own section from Asiatic invasion, or they would not tolerate the Dillingham proposal. But if the nation will not protect the Western states, they must protect them selves wih alien land laws and local restrictions. Here is a field for the energies of the 100-per cent Americanism of the Loyal Legion let the returned sol diers aid in keeping the Pacific coast states American and bar the oriental.' ' .

The sparkle went out of the blue waters. Thc whole bright day seemed to grow hard, metal lic. "Please don't, Bennie," I said. There was a strong wind now. Bennie tacked. And again. I saw he was making for land. He said nothing until he had made his landing. I stood on the dock, then, waiting for him. No longer could I avoid thc issue. Bennie came up to me. There were no "more hesitations, no more pauses, Sara, vou're the first girl I've ever loved. You are So wonderful, so splen did, I knew you couldn't care tor poor duffer like me.

As she joined us I tried to speak casually of our sail. But Bennie was suddenly plunged iri his most silent mood. (Monday The Girl Who Blushed.)
