"THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) ’ (Official City, State and County Newspaper) THE RIGHT TO IMMIGRATE Is the “right to immigrate” a human right which govern- ments some day will have to recognize generally? Or have nations always the right to say who shall or shall not come within their territories and be given citizenship? This seems to be a question which is destined to receive world-wide attention and discussion before long. Old World countries which greatly need an outlet for their surplus population are becoming more and more interested in unre- stricted migration. The Geneva protocol, now apparently unsuccessful, raised this question, indirectly challenging the right of sovereign nations to regulate their immigration for |! their own safety and interest without foreign interference. On the other hand, a proposed American international code recently made public by the Pan-American Union, com- piled by an international commission of jurists, carries this suggestion: “Every republic may determine, taking into con- sideration its local conditions, what persons or class of persons it shall permit to enter, its territory and to whom it may eventually and at its discretion concede nationality.” Canada, which already regulates its immigration with apparently greater success than the United States, believes that this suggestion should be endorsed emphatically by all the American countries. Nearly all Americans except the newest arrivals take the same view. The problem challenges thought and discussion in this country as much as anywhere else on the globe. ~~ LARGER EXPORTS American exports have been mounting again. The total for last month was nearly half a billion dollars. Imports were heavy, too; but so great was the export excess as to suggest a total “favorable balance” of between one and two billions for the year. This cheers the exporting industries. But the ‘average American finds less satisfaction that formerly in such a trade balance, and is less sure that it is really “favorable.” Europe owes us a vast amount of money already and is having great difficulty in paying it. How, then, economists ask, is Europe going to be able to pay us additional billions? Gold lately has been exported, too, in amounts greater than the imports. But bankers realize that this golden tide must soon turn again. Europe will have to send us more gold to take care of the most pressing of its debts, old and new. Our financiers realize that we have as much gold as is good for the country, and much more would tempt infla- tion, speculation and high prices. Europe needs the gold more than America does, to sta- bilize its own finance and industry. Ultimately, if all the billions Europe owes, or half of them, are to be paid. nearly everybody. realizes that it must be in goods rather than gold. But that would mean an ex- cess of imports over exports, which would be looked upon as mischievous. MUSIC MEMORY CONTESTS Twenty vears ago a certain large city supported, with great difficulty and large deficits made up by a few people, half a dozen symphony concerts given by visiting orchestras, a dozen other concerts a year by pianists or singers and one or two by local singing societies. As the city grew, a local symphony orchestra was devel- oped. Five years ago it was supported with. greater diffi- culty and enormous deficits. Today that orchestra gives ‘about 20 pairs of concerts a year, often crowded, and eight or ten sold-out Sunday after- noon concerts at which there is some lighter music played, but none that is not first class. Other concerts have multi- plied and there are several weeks of grand opera, played to capacity houses. The opera makes money and the orchestra deficit grows less year by year. Most of this growth has come about in the past five years, during which “music memory contests” have been conducted in schools and clubs. This year the list of 35 pieces given out by the orchestra for school ‘study ranges from a Strauss waltz through Mozart, Beethoven, Saint-Saens, Brahms, Tschaikowsky, Wagner, Wolf-Ferrari and Sibelius. The children love this music, and enjoy the contest and the whole city is becoming musically intelligent. : GASOLINE The makers of inexpensive automobiles are watching the price of gasoline very carefully. If gasoline goes too high, the man with the flivver will find it cheaper to use street cars and railroads. That will throttle the automobile industry. You can worry about gasoline prices if you wish to. But the makers of small cars will do it for you, and they are in a position to meet the situation by finding new sour- ces, devising substitutes, or by improving motors much bet- ter than you are. : A CHEER The government estimates that it takes $2 to buy what $1 did in 1890. But before you condemn inflation, Wall Street, the war, or modern taxes, find out what dad was getting in 1890. + Editorial Review aders may have both sides nportant. issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. SANE DRIVING (Fort Wayne Journal-Gazette) While the volume of motor traf- | fic in all probability will soon ‘be doubled, there is no probability that highway room can be doubled. The manner of driving will have to make up for that deficiency. | Regulations are necessary, rules | of the road indispensable. Much has been said and written within the last year or two about uniform rules. That is to say that certain rules of traffle conduct and control should be a'.pted every: | where, a consideration which rests | upon the increasing practice of | wide touring by motorists. | That would be a help in the abating of confusion and the di minishing of many of the perils of traffic. | Yet, when all consideration has been given every detail of traffic safety, the paramount thing, the prime factor will be found in the | driver of a motor ca Some drivers know now to drive, others “'o not. Some who know how to drive are quite willing to drive sanely. Some who know well enough how to drive go reckles In sane driving by capable dri vers lies the solution of the pro)- lem of gafety on the road, whether in country highway or city thor- oughfare. Tf all drivets made it their un deviating practice to drive careful ly, to keep their cars under con- trol, to cbey the common rules of the road and to generously respect all _cther crivers, there would be ittle trouble and much less dan- ger. The motorist himself must make | traffic safe for himself.

New York, April 22—The bes show on Broadway is Broadway. it: self, bigger and better than any five- ring circus. It is on Broadway you see the new styles first, not on Fifth Avenue. Bell-bottom trousers and Valentino sideburns and kangaroo shoes had their beginnings among the sidewalk sheiks who stand around the north- west corner of 43rd street and the southwest corner of 47th street. Un-| sophisticated passersby picked up those styles simply because they had seen them on Broadway. And the smartest things in eve- ning dress and wraps are seen at opening nights of the theater be- fore they appear at the Metropolitan Opera. Fully 10 per cent of the flashily dressed women at opening nights of the theater are mistresses of rich men. They can cajole those men into buying them fine things before wives of the same men can succeed in the same purpose, Times Square is called the cross- roads of the world. At some time all the colorful characters of the world are in its passing show. Men from the ranch in ten-gallon hats. Sailors from far ports. All the freaks of the circuses and side- shows book their routes from Broad- way offices. Pigmies walking beside giants. Zip, the Whatisit, passing chorus beauties. The most miserable down-and-outers brush elbows with silk-hatted fops. The lame, the halt| and the blind. Mendicants who will regale you with the strangest stories you ever heard in hope that you will} give them a dime. Great actors and! actresses whose names shine in bright lights. A great swarm of chorus boys and unknowns of the stage out of work. Those who sub- sist on rolls and coffee and those who feed on lobster. Success and failure, hope and despair, all muddled in the milling mass. It is generally supposed that the most wicked street in New York is the lower Bowery. It is my belief that the most Wicked street in New York is 47th street, east of Times Square. Leaders of the gun gangs make their headquarters there, not on the East Side. I see more drug peddlers at the Broadway corner than at any other spot in New York. I have been through the darkest | streets of the slums late at night) feeling fairly safe and secure. Onj 47th street I see dope fiends, boot- leggers, gamblers, panderers, harlots, gangsters and all manner of sinister characters. It is a patch of the un- derworld basking in the reflection of the Great White Way. JAMES W. Se eee |.

Therefore, you had better are to be in town by three from Wednesday for Alice will isconsolate if you are net here for her wedding. I shall gladly go and wish them all_joy, and I haven't the slightest doubt whatever that they will not both be as happy as the average married couple. I believe that all people would be much happier if there was not so much stress put upon _ passionate love as a necessity to a happy mar- riage.

Rowell The trouble in France is just plain lying and cowardice— the common faults of cheap politics everywhere. The facts in regard to the French situation have been plain enough for years. The political leaders knew them, \but they were afraid to tell them to the people., The politi- cians did not dare collect a normal fraction of the cost of the war out of current revenues as it went along. They borrowed it all, on the promise that the Germans would pay for it. After the war, they did the same thing with restora- tion expenses. They were not even included in the budget as charges against the revenue or credit of France. Then, when col- Japse threatened and was only prevented by the acceptance of the Dawes plan, they still delayed telling the French people that the solvency of France depended on the payment of taxes so high that no French government can levy them and live. The price of truth, in France, is the personal self-sacrifice of his office by the politician who tells it. Each one has waited for experience to reveal it instead. Now it has come. The French people now know that there is no such thing as a victorious war. The successful and the defeated are alike losers, and both have to pay, by staggering taxes. Just because they have had cowardly pol- iticians, the French have been the least trained, of advanced character. Now that they ‘have found French politics may be nearly as stupid and cowardly as American po- lities, but French character is sound. That, finally, must de the salvation of France, as it has been of Amcrica. A freak story from the Franco- American excavations at ancient Carthage brings also an interesting lesson in the psychology of labor. The workmen, like all Africans and most’ other people, were iazy and shirked the job. So the ex- cavators put in moving pictures of the work in progress. Every digger ~| worked like mad, and there was a rush of unpaid volunteers all dig- ging to get into the pictures. That particular scheme would not work long, even in Africa. But the human nature of it is significant. Give workers wages and discipline, and you will get the necessary min mum of work out of them. Give them a personal interest, and you will get enthusiasm and energy. That is why the “boss” works so hard himself, with nobody to make him do so. He has a personal in- terest. It is the: reason the artist or scholar works without thought of reward. Personal pride, personal interest, the sense of workmanship, thése are the motive of all effort which goes beyond what fear, necessity or disci- pline can enforce. You cannot buy these things. But you can get them. An American company, it is an- nounced, will build a chain of hotels European nations, in the resolute paying of taxes. there is no more resolute people in the world, in personal But out tardily what their leaders should have told them in time, they may turn firat on their deceivers, but they will then turn also to the job, and do it. Therefore, to attract them, those countries make themselves less strange. An American tourist is supposed to go away from home for the pur- pose of having just what he already had better at home. So he must have American food and_ service. American ways of getting around, and American jazz with his meals. At least, so the caterers to Amer- ican tourist trade assume. However, if these comfortable ab- surdities will attract tourists to Mexico, they will find other things to make it worth while, too. We go across the Atlantic to see a Europe less picturesque, and across the continent and .the Pacific to see an Orient only a little more so, whil&, at our doors, is one of thH® most in- terestingly exotic countries in the world. Climatically, Central Mexico ‘ranks with the tourist resorts of the world. Scenically, there is no more attrac- tive land. And humanly, here is a combination of cultures, the oldest and finest of Europe and the most strangely picturesque of primitive Indian America. To see these things across the ocean costs months where Mexico costs weeks, and thousands where Mexico costs hundreds. And there are practical and business reasons for knowing Mexico which do not exist for Europe. Altogether, it is a good thing if in Mexico.

Before the Twins and Mister Whizz could scramble off the calf's head, a giant cow as big as a wind-mill came tearing across the field, switching her tail like a-huge fly-swatter. She gave one swish, and away they all went over a barn and six houses and never stopped until they came to a city. There they landed right on top of a giant policeman’s hat. “This is as good a place as any,” said Mister Whizz. “It’s like being on top of the world up here.
