Whether the ‘exclusion period i three, four, or five years, it should be long enough for the country to dlgest the raw food it now has. It should be used also, for that purpose or else the exc]u- sion is useless. During this time thé law should compel every- one who remains here to learn to speak, read and write our language. Every illiterate should .be listed and those who fail to adopt the language of the country should be-deported. T'hey can never be digested. The chronically disloyal should go with them, <Our lmm)gratxon lawsg are based upon the wrong theory It is not material that a man should bring money with him.| Whether he has $5 or $25 or nothing is not the essential thing. Many of our very best citizens came with nothing but strong| bodies, stout hearts and homest ideals. These are what we want our immigrants to bring. If they have these, it does not matter if they have no other baggage, such as is checked. Nor is it essential that they should intend to become citi- zens nor that they do become citizens. 'That should be as they wish. If, after residence here, citizenship does not sufficiently appeal to them, they have the right to remain just as residents. But this should not be so easy as in the past. All noncitizens should have to register and to report every change of residence. This government should know who they are, what they are and what they are doing. . -Most of them are giving. our country more than they take. We get from them a profit on their labor and ability. They may be resident agents or merely courageous hearts that seek adventure or material} advantage. \ The bars should be down. and locked only tothose who are of the breed that breeds trouble; those who lack moral anchor- age, and whose preverted ideals have no basis in honest: pur- pose. Whether these are high or low, rich or poor, intellec- tual or illiterates it is the intent in coming, the character/record they bring, and the associations they ‘have left in their home. land that should determine their admission or ‘exclusion. Moreover, once admitted, continued residence ‘should be based upon good behavior, absolute loyalty to our form of gov- ernment and the adoption of our language. Any immigration law should add to this a date after which no newspaper should be permitted printed in a foreign language without a special! “license to be issued by the federal state depattment. The worthy should be excluded; citizenship should by no means be compulsory, but a blessing to be sought. The un- worthy should be-excluded and the adoption of our language should be compulsory as should wholehearted loyalty. —o0 LOCAL IMPROVEMENT The successful business man must base his life upon honor apd integrity. Beyond and outside of these, he must have the compound of initiative, aggressiveness, determination, practi- ability and vision which America, in her love for condensation, has chosen to style “pep.” The successful , wideawake and progressive town must possess the same qualities. It must have the judgment to real- ize that it prosperity and growth depend on the home advan: tages and business advantages which is can offer. And it must have vision enough to see that expenditures which secure these advantages are not an extravagance, but an asset. Money spent in locgl improvements such as public build- ings, schools, good roads, sewers, city water, gas and electric light, is money well spent. Undertaking any of these improve- ments ig like making an excellent investment, which is bound to return dividends. The gain to the town reacts to the com- fort and benefit of every citizen. + Who wants to live in a town without “pep ”” a town which drags out its monotonous existence without growth or improve- ment? When the question of local improvement comes up, stand behindit, “boost” it; work for it, vote for it, Install local improvements, and you w1ll see your town sought by business enterprises and manufacturing. It is up to you, Mr. Citizen. Stand up for local improve- ments first, last and all the time, and-you will help make your home town a desirable place of residence and a progressive business center. —_— Work of putting in the concrete walks at the-new state normal school is rapidly being pushed..

The same warning would be well to observe through- out the three days of the meeting. SRR R We're not going to argue the question whether the federal order closing the nation’t saloons will be a good thing for the nation after July 1, but we do believe that the teachers of the public schools should receive as much salary as the bartend- ers.
