ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION. In another place on this page is an editorial from the Seattle Times that seems to “point with pride” to the circumstance that immigration to the United States last year was only 43,000 while 18,000 aliens were deported from the country. This would leave a net gain in population through immi- gration of only 25,000, and that does not take into account those who returned to Europe voluntarily. In the last mail came to The Empire from the Immigrtion Reform League a suggested editorial complaining that the new Democratic House of Representatives has superceded as Chairman of the | Committee on Immigration Representative Albert Johnson of New York, ultra restrictionist, with as a rival for the business that will result from Olympic Peninsula development. Following a tradi- tional example among rival towns they have begun gibing each other about many things. Th2 latest is a sneer by a Port Angeles paper at Aberdeen’s “smiles out from under a dry umbrella with only 2224 inches of rain for the year.” If Speaker Garner really would like to be Presi- dent he probably regrets that his boom was launched by a publisher who has not contracted a habit of picking winners. Former Senator Jimes A. Reed has said many pertinent things but he never made a better epigram than when he said that what Kansas City needs is a “good hanging.” He was dis- cussing the epidemic of kidnaping borhood. in that neigh- There still are a few Democrats in the South whose principal interest in politics seems to be to write party platforms, feed their intolerance and carry the elections in Southern States by appealing to prejudices. Fortunately, however, they apparently are not numerous in Congress, Alien Tide Ebbs. (Seattle Times.) As a result of restrictive laws, America no longer has the responsibility for Europe's problem of over- population. The number of immigrants for the calendar year 1931 will be the lowest for a century. The trend is steadily downward, and we are able, in a large measure, to select the aliens who come here under the quotas established for the different countries. Until the law put up a barrier, immigrants ar- rived at our ports at the rate of more than a million a year. In 1913, for instance, the total was 1,387,318, while for the current calendar year the number will be approximately 43,000. In his annual report, Secretary of Labor Doak says tha: immigration is no longer an economic menace. Since nearly all aliens who come to establish homes in the United States are potential wage earners, their presence here in unlimited numbers would cause an oversupply of some classes of labor and increase unemployment. The immigrtion laws are designed to protect the social and political structure of American civilization from persons who come here with strange, new doctrines of government and who ad- vocate the destruction of the institutions which we Representative Samuel Dickstein of New York, Wha |regard as essential to our progress as a people, is “against restriction of immigration.” The Empire believes that immigration restric- tion and regulation have gone wild in this country. The circumstance that immigration has been re- duced from nearly 1400000 to 43,000 in less than twenty years and deportations have increased many fold is not evidence of growth and development. The years of America’s greatest development were those when we gained population through immigra- tion. The policy of tariffs so high that they have restricted trade and that of curtailing the home market through immigration restriction has been disastrous. It has resulted in forcing American manufacturers to establish branches in foreign countries where they give employment to foreign labor that must be fed and clothed with foreign products instead of by American factories and farras. We have adopted the policy of employing foreign labor on their own soil in Canada and Europe rather than bringing foreigners here to work and consume our products. We are building up foreign business and foreign population and starving our own industries and .farms. A grevious fault with the tariff and other fiscal policies in force in the United States is their artificiality. Instead of permitting water to run down grade we have been forcing it into un- natural channels. We have built up an artificial structure that is tumbling on our heads. We have invited and are getting in full measure retaliatory tariffs that are driving American manu- factures out of foreign trade. Instead of inviting the best people of foreign countries to come here and work and eat American food and wear American clothes our capital is compelled to find foreign employment and to employ foreigners on their own land. Our whole immigration policy has been wrong in principle and injurious in practice. We refuse to permit Amcrican producers to send to Europe for skilled men of high character. We only admit im- migrants who do not know what they are going to do when they land. Instead of letting in the man who has a job before he comes who would immediately begin to function as a self-supporting resident and soon become a good citizen we let in those who congregate in congested sections and be- come political and industrial agitators. {whether native-born or naturalized. During the last fiscal year more than 18,000 aliens were deported; many of them were radicals affiliated with organi- zations which advocate the overthrow of our Gov- ernment by force and violence. It is a sad reflection on our own people that the task of getting rid of undesirable aliens is made hard by un-American organizations of Ameri- can citizens. They are constant in their defense of seditious activities, and contend that even aliens have the inherent right to come here and foment revolution. However, we are making some progress | and the oftener the unpatriotic organizations ap- pear in public places the less influence they exert. Motor Toll of Wild Life. (St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) Sportsmen rejoice over the extension of paved highways (o game haunts in the wilder parts of various States, but the rate at which wild life is meeting death and injury on these roads has alarmed game conservationists. Records show that on an extent of highway less than four miles long in one of Pennsylvania’s game preserves, 52 deer, one gray fox, one bear, six ruffled grouse, 196 rabbits and an unknown number of isong birds and other small birds were killed by auto- mobiles in a single year. Though the speed of motor cars is greater than that of other recognized ene- mies of wild life, it nevertheless sesme remarkable that auto victims should reach so great a number among these wary animals, accustomed to detect and evade the presence of all dangers. The ex- planation is that most of them are killed at night. They seem to be fascinated by the headlights of the car and halt on the highway, with all the evi- dences of being blinded, and so are run down. It has been found that if the lights of an auto are shut off for a moment a deer or other animal transfixed with fright on the road ahead will gen- erally recover from its paralysis almost instantly and bound away. The suggestion is made by a lo- comotive engineer who in that way has often avoided running over animals on the track and should be adopted by all autoists in game districts. A Hero Dies. (New York World-Telegram.) Monuments to the political and martial makers of our history stand on pedestals throughout the land. Space should be reserved for monuments to the heroes of science who suffer and die in Let us hope that Chairman Dickstein might be|the unsung war on disease and premature death. able to correct a lot of things before we condemn him on account of opposition to the pernicious policies that have been controlling in the past. HOW TO HAVE A HEALTHFUL NEW YEAR. Asked to suggest a New Year's resolution for good health, Dr. Ernest H. Lines, Chief Medical Director, New York Life Insurance Company, listed seven “magic” precepts to be followed: 1. Moderation in all things, in work, and in eating. 2. Regularity in daily for work, for play, for rest. 8. Slow up—reduce the stress and strain modern life—live at a slower tempo. 4. Avoid overweight. 5. Avoid or correct chronic irritations. 6. Have a thorough physical examination at least once a year. 7. Seek medical atfention promptly when ness occurs. “The number ‘seven’,” concluded Dr. Lines, in play routine—regular hours in- “has of|, |Such a hero has died. He was Alfred Seymour Reinhart, of Dorchester, a 24-year-old graduate student in Harvard Medical School. While a boy Reinhart learned that he was doomed to die of heart disease. Immediately he counted off his days and began his researches with his own body as his subject. He graduated with honors, entered medical school, specialized in the heart. One day he saw upon his arm the bright red patches that warn the patient that he has just four months more to live. Shutting himself in a tiny hospital room, Reinhart began a minutely subjective study upon his own body. He recorded every symptom, noted every physical reaction as death crept towards his heart. “Despite my pain,” he recorded in his note book, ‘I am hesitant about taking the drug, because it would cloud whatever abdominal symptoms were present and would make the diagnoses difficult.” He then arranged for a post-mortem study of his body and closed his book of life.

These seven rules of health may not result in per- fection but if followed they will bring to the average person a closer approximation to it.
