OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS — e LET US HAVE THE REASON. The passage by the house of the Johnson bill prohibiting immigration for a period of one year is accompanied by the an- nouncement that the senate probably will defeat the measure. Why? The only possible argument is that we should exclude the undesirables and admit the desirables, a proceeding impos- sible, of course, if this bill becomes law. But there is the diffi- culty. We have no intelligent and sharply-defined policy under which such selection may be made. Our system does not fur- nish the means and methods by which the undesirables may be sifted out and thrown back whence they came. The meshes of* the sieve are too large. There are too many loopholes through which not only the undesirables, but the positively objection- ables, may come through. The Johnson bill permits the entry of blood relatives of American citizens with moderate safe- guards and allows but a brief year of stemming the general im- migration tide while a permanent policy is written into law. It would be unpardonable for the senate to defeat the bill unless it has better reasons than have been vouchsafed by its members through their public expressions.—St. Paul Dispatch. 5 R HELP SAVE LIVES! Tuberculosis killed 150,000 men, women and children in our country last year—2,244 of them in Minnesota. This deadly “White Plague” made 1,000 widows and 3,000 orphans in our state last year. : ' H There is no necessity for this staggering casuality list in peace time. You may not know it, but tuberculosis can be pre-| vented and can be cured. o There is an organization in your county, working with your| state and national organization that can drive this menace from its misery strewn pathway at your very door. " Christmas Seals provide the armament for the peace time combat against this deadly foe, for the penny health stamps are means through which are raised the funds necessary to continue the fight against disease, the fight which never for an instant must halt. B Thus Christmas Seals actually are life-savers. save lives when you buy Christmas Seals. ittt e THAT OUGHT TO STOP THEM. Massachusetts has found a way tb stop Christmas tree thefts that looks like a way that really will sto;?them. pe: . The state commissioner of conservation and sthe ‘state re.gxstrar of motor vehicles have come together to talk it over, with the result that they have agreed to impose this regulation: If any person uses his automobile, or knowingly'lets it be used, to transport Christmas trees or other Christmas greenery which has been_ taken without the consent of the owner of the land, the owner of the car shall, upon conviction, have his license revoked. .That, surely, will be an effective step against stealing Christmas trees. But it seems to show fhe possession of powers by these.o.filfl'uals that have not, thus far, been granted to any state officials in Minnesota.—Duluth Herald. SR NS .
