Before the end of that perfod he may apply for, and may be granted if he has be- baved himself, an alien workman's permit, good for three years, which will allow him to come and go within the United States on his lawful occa- sions; but will require him to keep such a record as can be readily verified by the immigration authorities. When this period is completed three options are open to him. He may have ap- plied for first papers and have had them issued on the showing that he had the makings of a good citizen. Or. alternatively, on the showing that he is a useful workman, he may be grant- ed a second threeyear alien work- man’s permit, subject, however, to the irrevocable condition that at the end of his second three years he must leave the United States and stay away for at least three years before return- ing. Failing to elect either of these options, or having proved undesirable, he must forthwith leave the country. The outline requires, as its author is the first to admit, filling in in such matters as children of registered aliens born in this country, taxation, title to land, etc. But in its essential features, which give the alien a chance to learn whethér the condi- tions in the United States suit him and give the United States a chance to learn whether it wants the alien either temporarily or permanently, combined with the provision that if he does not wish to become a citizen or is not wanted as a citizen, he must absolutely get out of the country and stay out for three years, there is suffi- cient to warrant its careful considera- tion by those responsible for the solv- ing of a pressing and difficult problem. Maryland and the Cabinet. What is the matter with the re- publicans of Maryland? Why are they not pressing\one of their leaders for a cabinet place They have some ex- cellent men from whom to choose. Kentucky is pressing Mr. Hert, a very capable and deserving man, but she gave Cox four thousand plurality. Virginia is pressing Representative Slemp, a clever and successful poli- tician, but she gave Cox sixty thou- sand plurality. North Carolina wants Col. Moorehead, but she gave Cox sixty thousand plurality. Maryland, on the other hand, with the democrats in control of the state, ‘whooped it up for Harding to the tune of sixty-one thousand odd. Moreover, she elected -a republican to replace in the Senate a veteran democrat of influence in Congress. The republican campaign in Maryland was conducted with great vigor, and deserved the success achieved. And then in the years past repub- lican Maryland figured in _cabinets with great credit to herself. The Post Office Department has never been bet- ter administered than by Mr. Creswell and Mr. Gary. Each gave strength to the administration with which he was connected. i Mr. Harding is.mid to incline to the suggestion of a southern man for the cabinet, not only because of the south’s record in last year's campaign, but because of the growth of repub- lican sentiment in that section for some years past. Give him s chance to inspect the Oid Line state. Maybe he can find his man there.

It is this form of boycott that the court it is unlawful to attempt to affect the trade of an employer by any meth- od as a means of punishing him for his attitude toward union labor.

The question of how the nation can best deal with its problem of immi- gration is among the most difficult of an hour fecund in difficulties.

For while permanent colonization of aliens in the nited States is decidedly undesirable, citizenship is an honor to be sought by the newcomers and not an obliga- tion to be forced upon them by eco- nomical pressure or overzealous prop- wganda. The nation wishes and pro- poses to have naught but a simon pure citizenship, recognizing the fact that hyphenated Americanism is a menace to its security and progress. Various plans, each more or less purposed to accomplish the indicated ends, are before Congress. Yet it is 1o be hoped that the considerations ‘thereof have not progressed to a point ‘which would preclude serious attention 1o a proposal advanced by one Alex Dow of Detroit, in a recent issue of the Weekly - Review.

The members exchanged prices and prices of paint moved up | |8 5 i and down with complete uniformity. According to Samuel Untermyer, who conducted the investigation, the facts revealed a perfect case of price fixing. Following the New York investigation the combination which is known as the Natlonal Association of Lead Manufacturers agreed to suspend, but whether they will suspend only in New York or for the country at large does not appear from available ac- counts of the proceedings. Further proceedings ought to be taken by the Federal Trade Com- mission, and if the findings in New York are verified there ought to be Ao national clean-up on white lead manufacturers who belong to the combination.
