Ouse ttee on imr 1 proposes to change dur laws so as to exclude Japanese immigration almost completely, as well as that of Chir and low-caste Hindus, and to cut almost in two immigration from the rest of the world, It’ proposes to do this by admitting only 2 per cent a year of the naturalized na number of tionals under the census of 1890, as against the present 8 per cent of those in the 1910 censu The committee shows real constructive statesn 4 anship in this. The peoples most freely admitted if this law passes, will be those whom we have shown ourselves able soonest to turn into the best Americans. We used to them. They will find millions of their kind already assimilated among us. shock. Keep out the aliens who for any reason are hard to Americanize in the old sense. Let our American citizenry be really a Melting-Pot. It is in process of becoming nothing but a junk-heap.

The man who tells a girl he would die for her wouldn't be so rash if he had ever tried it People who worry about everything usually worry about nothing Only thing certain about February weather is its uncertainty Isn't it strange that golf Is a Scotch game and so expensive? Europe seems to think peace will take French leave The man of the hour seldom lasts longer than that, Charity Begins at Dawson It is irony of fate that the coal mine at Dawson, New Mexico, in which the lives of 122 unfortunate men were snuffed out on Friday, is owned by the enormously rich Phelps-Dodge corporation. Irony? Why? Because one of the chief owners and directors of this tremendous mine is Cleveland Hoadley Dodge of New York city. And who, pray, is Cleveland Hoadley Dodge? Why he is listed in “Who’s Who” as brother of the late Grace Hoadley Dodge, trustee and director of a long line of business, industrial, educational and philanthropic insti- tutions including Roberts College of Constantinople and Carnegie Institute in Washington, and is treasurer and chief moving spirit of the American Committee on Near East relief! Every Protestant church of America knows the name of Cleveland Dodge, for it is he wno has personally guaran- teed the cost of administering the millions which has been raised for relief of the Armenian refugees, To care for suffering humanity in the Near East or anywhere is Christian and fine. But to have insisted on safer working conditions in his non-union New Mexico coal mine, would have been even finer and it would have still been Christian, A BUSY DISTRICT It is salt that the combined freight of the Pittaburg that I mean the city of Pittsburg, up the Monongahela river = few miles, and down the river 50 miles—ts est ports on earth; greater than the freight of New York, London, Liver. pool, Hongkong and Antwerp combined.—Senator Ransdell (D.), La. The first sign of spring will be the funny new soft drink names. If you think clothes don't count, try going without any. Our favorite toast during these dry days is buttered. You can’t be a howling success by simply howling. Being good takes lots of practice. Three cheers beat six jeers. Ever Hear of the “Way Wiser’? The auto speedometer, in principle, is 266 years old. Back in 1657 Evelyn wrote in his diary: “I went to see Colonel Blount, who showed me the application of the *way-wiser’ to a coach, exactly measuring the miles and showing them by an index as we went along. It had three circles, one pointing to the number of rod. another to the miles, by 10 to 1,000, with all the subdivisions of quarters. Very pretty and useful.” A lot of the things we consider new are “old as the hills.” Ideas, especially. ey, Viet Asad PASTEUR’S FAME. ie New York Academy of Medicine has recently very fitti telebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of that peat pi dition ad and scientist, Louis Pasteur. The word “pasteurized,” alone, which has become a word of common household use, immortalizes the name and the great services to humanity of Louis Pasteur, This process of pas- teurization, meaning simply the process of boiling suspected milk, liquids and foods, as discovered by Pasteur and prescribed by him, has en lives of millions of babies and adults.—Representative Kindred Senator Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, who chews tobacco steadily and has a record of four cuspidors in 24 hours, is 80, hale and hearty. Asked if he chewed plug tobacco all his life, he said, “No, I started in on fine- cut.” What's the moral to this tale? Never cuss a wife for pie that isn’t like mother used to make unless you make money like her father used to make, igion by what he says when his safety razor Never judge a man’s reli nearly cuts his nose off.

I was coming West, passing thru Ontario, on what wag known as the “Homo- seekers’ Special.” 1 noticed that at almost every stop on the prairies, a big bunch of proseprous looking men would jump off the train and bring aboard all the soll they could scoop up with their hands, and examine On getting into con- versation with them, I found they were American farmers who had sold their property in the States for rood | prices and were coming to take up| homesteads in Canada, That's a good | while since.
