Ss EProtecting Our National Household QTRANGERS, or even friends who are visitors in 'O" a household are welcome under some conditions. Byt no housewife wants company unless she has hafi time to prepare for them, and is sure that their présence will not embarrass her own family or her neighbors. It is exactly the same with our national home. After the war we were threatened with a deluge of immigrants from Europé, fi¢eing from that war- stricken impoverished section of the globe where there was not future except unremitting toil at the lowest wage possible consistent with human exist- ence, coupled with back-breaking debts for genera- tions to come. In our country there was a period for readjust- ment for business and for industry. Although we were the best prepared of any to meet the prob. lems, the situation wus by no means an easy one to handle. The war activities had thrown hundreds of thousands of wage carners out of their usual channels of occupation, had established a false standard of wages and living conditions, Further- more, we had over a million soldier boys coming back from France to whom we had promised jobs upon their return, This meant a displacement of those already at work. To have added to this intricate problem by per- mitting a million or more foreigners to land in this country would have brought about a most serious condition. The unemployment situation even at the best was critical enough. To have added a million or. more to the ranks of those who were idle dur- ing the period of business readjustment would have brought a crisis upon the country that might have been very difficult for it to have solved. Before the war we were getting nearly 1,500,000 immigrants each year. Knowing the sentiment in the stricken countries of Europe, there was every reason to believe this number would have been tre- mendously augmented had not the Republican con- gress enacted the restrictive immigration law. This law did not shut the door to immigrants from Eu- rope; it merely pushed it more nearly shut than it had ever been before. In other words, it pushed it so nearly shut that they had to come in single file. The law provided that immigrants from any country must be limited to three per cent of the total number of that nationality in the United States who were here in 1910 according to the cen- sus of that year. Some idea of how the law has op- erated is furnished in immigration figures for the fiscal year ending June 30 last, which have just been published. During the entire year the three per cent restrictive immigration law was in effect while immigrants from some countries were denied adntission because of the operations of the law im- migtants from other countries were admitted freely because their country had not exhausted its quota under the law. f In fact, the year closed with many countries still at liberty to send great numbers of their people to the United States and still be within the three per cent quota. The most conspicuous of these coun- tries are Germany, who sent only 20 per cent of its quota, Sweden 43 per cent, Norway 49 per cent, Hol- Jand 66 per cent, and France 75 per cent. The countries which exhausted their quota were Greece, Hyngary, Italy, Poland, Roumania, Jugo- Slavia, Belgium, Palestine, Turkey, Australia, New Zealand and miscellaneous smaller countries in Afia and Far Eastern Eurépe. The following coun- tries came within three or four per cent of filling their quotas: Bulgaria, Czecho-Slovakia, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland and Armenia. & a Democracy’s Predicament INSPIRED STORY going the rounds that Democratic party bfis decided to center its efforts this year upon carrying several state clec- tions rather than the next congress has a great many facts to give it substantiation. The underlying fact is that the Democratic party has nothing upon which they can go to the people in the present campaign and ask for a vote of con- fidence. The party has no program. It stands for no policy. Its leaders are at loggerheads. Its issue in 1920 was the league of nations; its leader was Wooprow Witson. Today the party is hopelessly split upon the issue of the league of nations. The victory of Senator Reep in Missouri was a terrible blow to the league of nations followers and ari even worse blow to the Wirson faction. The fact that former Senator Varpamax, of Mississippi, received the highest number of votes in the state primary is another blow to the leadership of the Witson crowd. These facts have an evil meaning for democracy. The Witson Dembdcrats 4 not good Democrats in the sense that they first.

There | Democratic party go to pieces than to see it succeed under a leadersifip other than their own. The Democratic minority in the congress has de- veloped no leadership. The Democratic “leaders” in the senate are “windjammers.” They are Tom Herwix, Pat Harrison and Tom Caraway, the politi- cal light weights, all demagogues. They have no depth, no statesmanship and no quality of leader- ship. Democratic associates. Their constant abuse and villification on the floor of the senate has disgusted has disgusted upstanding Democrats everywhere. Such Democratic papers as the New York Times and Dispatch in the south have repeatedly deplored the fact that the Democratic members of neither branch of congress have exhibited any symptoms of leader- ship, have formulated any policy or have shown any cause why the country should return the. Democrats to control of either branch of congress. The Democratic publicity reflects this low estate. }it offers nothing constructive. It is broadcasting a lot of ridiculous assertions which have no founda- jtion in fact. It ds devoted largely to cheap abuse. it has been compelled to abandon a discussion of first one issue and then another because it had no fucts with which to back up its assértion. Even upon the tariff, about which it is making the loud- est noise, it is compelled to witness Democratic sen- ators voting for the protective schedules almost every roll call. It is common knowledge that Sena- tor Asnunst, of Arizona, Senator Jonrs, of New Mexico, and Senator Kenprick, of Wyoming, are making campaigns upon the fact that they have supported the legislative program put over by the Republican congress. “ The Democratic organization in several states has sought to strengthen itself by making a shame- ful combination with the ragtag and bobtail ele- ments, with the Communists, Socialists and others who advocate all sorts of dangerous doctrines. The result of this policy has been a net loss to the Demo- cratic ranks in te state where this sort of com. bination was engineered by the Democratic leaders. It has driven from the Democratic rangs the solid, substantial, law-abiding Democrats and has not won the confidence or support of the radical ele- ments. ¢ ree tebe Tendering a Lemon HIE DEMOCRATS are “playing to the galleries,” where the ladies sit. They are loud and vehement in calling attention to the nomination by their party of Mrs. O.esen, of Minnesota, for the United States senate. hey are ringing in the changes on Mrs. Otesen’s nomination in an effort to make women believe the Democrats are the only party which rec- ognizes woman in politi¢s sufficiently well to give her a nomination of distinction. Their constant thrumming upon that one string indicates that it is the only string upon which they have to play. Instead of emphasizing what they have doné for women, the conspicuous ‘isolation of this one instance, which they so persistently em- phasize, only focuses attention upon what they have not done for women. Furthermore, it is of more than passing signifi- cance that they selected a state in which they knew they had no‘hope of winning for the purpose of putting a woman on the ticket. Nominating some- one to lead a forlorn hope in order to pay off a political debt owed by someone is a very old prac- tice by some politicians. It would seem this were the situation with the Democratic machine and Mrs. Oresen in Minnesota. If the Democratic party wishes to show how much they think of women and how ardent is their desire to elevate women to high office in the land, why did they not pat up a woman for the senate in Mississippi where she would have been certain of an election had she been nominated‘ There are a great many districts and a great many states which are solidly Democratic where the nomination of a woman to congress or some high state position would be equivalent to an elec- tion. We search them in vain for any such exhibi- tion of Democratic chivalry. The Democratic policy is to nominate women only where they know women can never be elected, but to reserve for the men all nominations where there is any chance of election. From all we haye heard of Mrs. Ouse, she is a splendid woman, of engaging personality and com- manding talent. We regret she did not live in Mis- sissippi or Alabama or Georgia, where she might really have had a chance to go to Washington and associate with a Republican woman who is in congress, sent there from a Republican district, Miss Auice Rosrrtson, of Oklahoma. wee E ee Suppress Unit Promoters IOMMERCIAL BODIES are co-operating in driving the so-called oil “unit” promoters out of business. According to reliable figures, innocent investors in these so-called “oil land shares” were sold to a total of over seven million dollars during the past jfew months. Laws should be strengthened so that it would be impossible for any of these illicit promoters to en- gage in business under the so-called “business {trust.” There is no need for the “get-rich-quick” oil pro- jmoters and fly-by-night people to operate anywhere. | There should be legislation that would curb for- ever the activities of operators whose chief stock in trade is to swindle the public. There should be legislation that will leave abso- lutely no loop-hole for the man who tries to get by with sharp practice. 5 RET es Ne MER Boneless Bonus T IS REPORTED that friends of the bonus bill in both the senate and house are sufficiently nu- merous to pass’ the measure over the president’s It is said that no attempt will be made to insert a provision for levying the extra $4,000,000,000 of | taxation required to meet its obligations until after There is not the least doubt that they will!

The industries named are: Mining, |rallways, gas supply, shipping, water surs.y and lighting supply. A ballot taken under the new conditions would be conducted unde; the supervision of a committee comprising the president of the beard of trade, the minister of labor, the registrar of friendly societies (who would be the chairman,) the chairman of the parliamentary lxbor party, the chairman of the trade un- fon congress, and two other persons appointed by the trade union con- gress at its annual general meeting. “The committee would endeavor “to secure a true and secret vote of the Persons entitled to vote on the ques- tion submitted to tho ballot.” It would take entire charge of the ballot and issue and collect ail papers and documents. Any divulgence of secrets or any intimidation or effort to influ ence the voting on one side or the other is made punishable. “This should appeal to trades union ints, especially, for they are the ones most directly interested in any pro: Posal to cease working, and therefore. to cease earning. It is quite concelv able that many a strike that has been called in the past, never would, havo been called were trades unionists sure that the expression of their honest cenvictions on the question would re- main a matter between themselves and the ballot box. And itis just as con- celvable that many a strike has been called and has brought Its losses and suffering to union members because the balloting was not secret and the voters, through fear, did not exercise their actual wishes. “All balloting by wage earners on a Proposition thet for any .reason they should cease to earn wages—for that is the sum and substance of a strike— ought to be conducted under as much independence and secrecy as is our balloting for political offices. In fact, would it not be a good idea if all such Proposals were handled through the regular machinery established for tlie recording of votes on public matters; for where is the strike that does not more or less intimately concern and affect the general public? Under such an arrangement it is our frank con- viction that the number of strikes, with their consequent losses to both strikers and the public, would be re- duced material!

A forvigner might get the impression that they were equally im- Portant with “President Harding”— and at times even dangerously near more important. The president of the United States invites the president of this or that organization to the Whité House for luncheon. The one presi- dent makes proposals to the other president.

And this is in the year of our Lord 1922, seven centuries after the emerging national state began to assume jurisdiction over recalcitrant feudal barons haugh- ty and wilful prelates and monapo- listic corporaticns of artisans. One might almost think that feudal dis- integration had set in. It is needful to recall juet what the modern state is. In general it is an outgrowth of feudal anarchy. through a process of centralization and st- cularization of authority. Specifically it may be defined as a sovereign politi- cal unit. Feudalism knew no unitary sovereign political authority. It was a series of persons and property re- lationships culminating in the king as the great overlord. Over his vassals the king had a certain authority, but he never was quite sure how ‘much, But gradually the king enlarged his royal domain; gradually he drew with- in the net of his jurisdiction barons, clergy and corporations; gradually he rose to be @ sovereign. That process of centralization and secularization was necessary to the rise of the modern state. It went fur- ther in France than it did in’ England, perhaps because Roman law lent itself to absolutism more readily than Teu- tonic customs did. But in time com- merce, industry, énlightenment, relig- jon took the control of this sovereign political unit from one and gave it to the many. That is what we call democracy. Democracy, however, has inherited the soverign rights of kings. So government by the people does not mean the dissolution*of government— or should not mean that. Today there is a tendency—and it is feudal—for associations and corporations to usurp the powers of government, on the one hand, and .ot resist the authority of government, on the other. If that tendency e to be carried far enough it might result in a complete decentralization of government little short of feudal anarchy, It needs to be watched. True, over-centralizauion is an equal dangerous tendency fn the opposite direction. But somewhere there must be a golden mean. There should be no Caesarism nor should there be any surrender to special inter- ests.

WILLIAM H. GEORGE. Making Regulation Ridiculous A political farce in rate making by public regulation is now being enacted in Oregon. After two investigations covering a Period of a year or more, the Oregon Public Service Commission granted the telephone company an increase in rates. Immediately a clamor was raised to recall the commissioners who ref: te rescind their decision. As a result two of them were defeated at the fol- lowing election by two candidates who, as an inducement to secure votes, im- Plicitly promised to reduce rates if elected. Now they are in office and the ques tion is: can they make good on rate reductions. Surely not merely in order te ¥eep campaign promises regardicss of what the fucts will disclos> which establish rates under public regulation. if the past yr: has broughe ci ed conaitions which will justify vate reductions, wetl and good, if not, the new commissioners will have « hard job to bring about reductions regard: léss of the fits, for the tolechone company will have a right to appeal its case in a court of law which will set aside confiscatory rates even though established to back up campaign promises.

Think of it —in twenty-seven cities only.
