AN URGENT REFORN The United States would experience far less trouble from its foreign jmmigration, in its failure to assimilate with the native population, if eome radical changes were made in our immigration laws, more partic- ularly as they apply to citizenship. The comparative ease with which this great privilege i8 acquired bas tended to cheapen it in the eyes of its beneficiaries. Citizenship in the countries from which we derive the most of our immigration is most difficult of attainment, and is valued accordingly. Hence when these people come to ‘us and have this boon thrust upon them, who can blame them that they hold it in light estesm? 1t 1s doubtful if the welfare of the republic will longer permit the full naturalisation of foreigners. At least the franchise should not be con- ferred until after long residence and ample proof of loyalty. The ease with which the foreign vote has long been herded and controlled in the great centers of population has always been a matter of keen reproach to our people. This has been largely due to their ignorance of our laws and institutions, and can only be remedied by education. Very little trouble of the sort is experienced with the children of these foreigners. A broad- er view of life in a democracy has deen given them through a greater knowledge of American institutions and American ideals, A restriction of the suffrage will also have a salutatory effect upon the labor problems of the country. Many of our labor troubles are fo- mented either by or on account of this element, which is armed with & weapon of which they understand only the power—none of the duties and responsibilities. -Given a better knowledge of the latter before the former is placed in their hands, much of our trouble could be averted. The time is here when the United States can no longer afford to pose as an asylum for the oppressed of all nations. The interests of our own people must take precedence. HOOVER REBUKES ADMINISTRATION Hgover‘s letter to the president reveals a situation in which the* ad- ministration can take no satisfaction. If, as Hoover tells Wilson, the speculators have been exploiting both the farmer and the consumer, why bas not the Department of Justice taken some step to prevent or to punish -guch action? There are laws enough on the statute books to do this; and it does not need the food control bill to sét the Sherman anti-trust law or the Clayton law in motion. The fact is fairly deducible from what Hoover tells the president that the administration itself has been more remiss than Congress in dealing with the food question. Congress has debated new proposals to clothe unknown men with unheard-of powers. The administration, with ample powers already, has taken no action at all. They were sitting on one of those green iron-slatted benches near the public library, one evening, a night or so ago. We passed on our wended way. They were engaged—in looking at each other. And we re- membered. And we are not going to say any more about it. We noticed in the St. Paul Dispatch yesterday where Harry Lesg won the amateur golf championship of the state at St. Paul. We used to know Harry Chinn back home. He lived in Beardstown. East St. Louis, it seems, is becoming “kaiserised.” Its bramd of «kultur” is distastetul to the rest of American mankind. There are entirely too many traitors and spies in this country. Let the l_mnp posts come into their own. Federal judges throughout the country are sending the slackers to jail for a year and a day. AMEN! A big noise never indicates.a wise head. It is often the pastime of the fool. WE HAVE THE LOTS ‘What kind of a lot are you looking for? A good business site? A location for a fine residence?
