If "ever taxpayers should congratulate themselves INCREASING IMMIGRATION. time. TALY, Austria and Russia continue an outpour- l ing of their least desirable population as immi- grants to the United States. The prospect is that the last fiscal year and the present one will add to our population nearly a million people from those three countries. The total immigration from all sources, desirable and undesirable, is toa large for the good of the new comers or of those they find here. There is a perceptible crowding out of occupation of our native-born pecple. There are less than a mil- lion vacancies in our industries to be filled every year by new hands, and when we are importing a mil- lion from abroad every year either native or immi: grant must go to the wall. There is evidence that it is not the immigrant. He comes from the midst of conditions so narrow and rigorous and such scanty opportunity that he is inured to hardship and can live where a native will not try. Unfortunately the immigration we are receiving is the slowest to assimilate. Its motive in coming is entirely material. It has no sentimental attachment to our institutions, and indeed does not know that ‘they exist. The agents of steamship companies have told them that this is the land of promise, full of corn and wine, flowing with milk and honey, and such of their relatives and countrymen who have preceded them confirm the story. It is therefore not a patriotic but a parasitic immigration, and should excite the profound solicitude of our states- . men. Great as we are in resources, we cannot safely make this the world's dumping ground.

It is extremely unwise, and, as a country may choose what and how many aliens it will re- ceive, it is time we made choice. There is no ques- tion but what our native population is being crowded out of every line of occupation and its independence is endangered. The gate swings inwardly too easily. Let it be bolted for awhile. B —— The California Commission to the St. Louis Expo- sition has issued an appeal to the producers of the State for autumn products and exhibits of wine. In these fields, where California excels pre-eminently, the demand for a proper representation should be met by an immediate response. There is little time to lose and the prize at stake is one large enough to call forth the best energjes of all Californians. LIPTON, ' DIPLOMAT.

Un- der the system long in use by that Govern- Men start at the motion or merit to the highest place, which is Em- This secures in the service officers who many countries, who speak many languages and have the skill in diplomacy ac- quired by experience. It is far different from our catch-as-catch-can sys- tem, which offers no career either in our consular or diplomatic service. We reward politicians by ap- pointment to last four years, when a new President comes in and new men are appointed to a service of which they know nothing and in which they have no reason fog acquiring knowledge, since their service is to be brief. But every hard and fast system some- times seems to block something that is desirable. Senator Kearns of Utah has suggested that the vacancy made by the untimely death of Sir Michael Herbert, British Embassador to Washington, be filled by the appointment of Sir Thomas Lipton. Of course this cannot be done under the rules of the game. But if it could be Sir Thomas would have all England stepping to “Yankee Doodle” and all the six months. If peace and good will among men and nations is the object of diplomacy Lipton is the man to establish that desirable state between the two coun- tries. He is such an embodiment of manliness and { good fellowship that everybody was sorry he failed | racing quality of our American yacht was kept in the background to .spare the feelings of our manly antagonist. Sir Thomas is that character dear to the American heart, for he js a good loser. Nothing checks the effervescence of his spirits nor dulls his appreciation of our good will. He is willing to come over to defeat after defeat and we are so unwilling to lose him and let him go back disappointed that we would send the petition of 80,000,000 people to The Oakland man who wanted to prove his sanity the other day by playing a game of draw poker with the Judge before whom he was summoned succeeded splendidly in clouding the issue. His proposal stamps him as a sure-thing man, offensively sane, or e AUSTRALIAN SOCIALISM. ' ORD LONSDALE is the latest authority to L bring reports of the evil conditions brought about in Australia by socialistic labor laws. He confirms what has been learned from other sources of the bad effects upon the community gen- erally of the excessive experiments that have been made in the direction of state socialism and the ill- considered legislation enforced by labor unions. We have thus another important witness giving tes- timony that stands as a warning to the American people to profit by the lessons of Australia and avoid having to undergo themselves the disastrous expe- riences by which such lessons are taught. It is well known that Australia has not been ad- vancing of recent years. Her industries are lan- guishing, enterprise is virtually at a standstill, immi- gration is diminishing, the population does not in- crease in anything like the degree that is to be ex- pected of a country so sparsely settled and with such an abundance of resources. All students of the situa- tion agree that while the long drought of a few years ago had much to do with the bad condition of affairs, yet the main evil is that of legislation, which, so far from encouraging enterprise and industry, tended to discourage and prevent them. It appears, however, that Australia has reached the worst point of her socialistic experiments and that there will be for some time to comea marked reaction against the policy that has brought the country to so bad a plight. One of the signs of the cor.ning change is the determination of the Government to procure the construc- tion of the proposed great railway system to connect the northern with the southern coast of the island by a syndicate of capitalists instead of undertaking the work as an enterprise of the federa- tion itself. That is good proof that the people have learned at last that state construction and ownership of railroads is not a good thing. To that extent, at least, they give evidence of having profited some- thing in wisdom by experiencg to make up for what they have lost in money. Another proof of the growth of the revolt against socialism and labor legislation is reported to have been given in the recent defeat of the Australian Ministry on the conciliation and arbitration bill. It is said the defeat of the measure is due wholly to a determination on the part of the conservative ele- ments of all classes and all parties to rid themselves and the country of the domination of the radical leaders. The bill is one of a series designed, as a labor leader is reported to have said, “to build a Chinese wall of solid legislation around Australia so as to keep this country as far as may be for the ex- clusive use and benefit of the wage-earning class.” The passage of the measure was strongly desired by the labor leaders, and the defeat of it is looked upon as the most striking evidence yet given of the strength of the party that has now risen to redeem Australia from their control E e ] Japan is sending troops into Korea, the war spirit in the island kingdom is at fever heat and the wise- acres of the Old World news bureaus are shaking their heads and nodding ominously toward -Russia. The great crash of the Eastern giants is to come in the minds of the correspondents, MANY PERSONS MAY LOSE THEIR " CITIZENSHIP . F. C. Van Deusen, special examiner for the Department of Justice, who is in this city making an investigation con- cerning the operation of the naturalization laws, has made discoveries that will be unpleasant to persons who suppose that they are naturalized citizens of the United States, but who will find upon reading The Call this morning that they are mistaken. Congress at its last session passed an amendment to the existing naturalization law, the purpose of which was to make it harder for men cherishing anarchistic | sentiments and other objectionable persons to come into the enjoyment of the elective franchise in the United States. This wa approved June 3 last and made adherence to certain forms obligatory. It provides, for instance, that all courts | and tribunals and all Justices and officials having jurisdiction in naturalization pro- ceedings shall make careful investigation and before issuing the final order or cer- tificate of naturalization shall cause to be o entered for record an affidavit affirming | the truth of every material fact requisite for naturalization. *“‘And,” so reads the law, “all final orders of courts of naturali- zation hereafter made shall show specifi- caliy that said affidavits were duly made and recorded, and all orders of courts that fail to show such facts shall be null and void.” The. Superior Court in this city has omitted to use the proper forms in least seven\instances, as already ascer- tained. Consequently the following men- tioned seven men must either be naturalized or else remain allens: Martin Fogarty, 1119 Vallejo street; A. Utech, 11 Clay street; Ernest I} Blohm, 622 Haight | street; Anton Paisard, 705 Sansome stree Gustav Koppel, 100 Sunset avenue; man Cohman, 644 Golden Gate avenue; A. Sundlof, 855 Howard street. There are probably other cases that will come to light. The court overlooked the fact that the new law of June 3, 1903, was in effect and continued to use Her- E forms that were good enough before the | new legislation, the use of which now re- suits in failure to secure a legal naturali- zation. Probably there are many persons all over California who are in the same unlucky fix as are the seven men who are named in the foregoing. This is also the fact in all parts of Oregon and in the State of Washington, in fact in _ every State in the United States. The gravity of the matter is enhanced by the fact that property rights are affected. Since Special Examiner Van Deusen ar- rived in Ban Francisco he has been busily engaged In interviewing Judges and Jus- tices and in examining the naturalization certificates that have been issued since June 3, 1903. He has also sent a circular | letter to courts of naturalization in the interior of California requesting informa- tion. The special examiner is studying up all the conditions attending naturali- zation at all times since the first naturali- zation law was passed in the year 1502. He says that there are certain phases that must be considered by Congress, but he declines to say what these are, not wishing that his report be anticipated by the Department of Justice. —————— Californians in New York.

Watson and Harnis Taylor of counsel fors the United States, especially protesting against Taylor's contention that the term “trend of the coast” could only apply to the political coast line, and not te the physical coast line. Carson also malntained tkat the prinei- ple of acquiescence was not applicable to the present dispute, and somewhat -sur- prised the audience by declaring that un- der the powers of the treaty of 193 the Commissioners had no authority to deflne | questions submitted to them, and that they could neither lay down: the ‘boun~ dary nor declde what. -constituted the coast. All the Commissioners could do | was to answer questions submitted to them Im the treaty, either negatively or affirmatively. If they gave certain an- swers they might make matters more confused than ever and open up a new geries of diplomatic tngles. The Solicitor General concluded with an eloquent reference to Great Britain's une | willingness to give up of her subjects | into the control of other nations. He de- clared he thought the public mind might think the commission was slow and that counsel were wasting time, but no time and no money would ever be wasted if the | | leng-standing dispute between the twe | great and friendly powers could - be | solved by the tribunal. | “When Jacob M. Dickinson of counsel for the United States rose to conclude tha arguments the room was filling up with spectators. He began by belittling the minute examinations of maps and the bickering over words and details, declar- ing that the case could omly be settled by grasping the central idea animating the original negotiators. Dickinson proceeded to take up Attor- ney General Finlay's points, dealing lucid- Iy with the broad phase of the disputs and enlivening the proceedings with an occasional story. He was still speaking when the commission adjourned until October 5. Dickinson does not expect to conclude until the evening of October 8. iy OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Changes Made in n Postal Service and Orders for Army and Navy.
