THE KIND NEEDED.

The falling away Of emigration the
past year is most noticeable from West
ern and Northern Europe. As far as
the acquisition of unskllled labor is
concerned. it is not matter of serious
regret if there is material reduction.
1t is probable that the law against the
importation of contract labor has had a
beneficial effect. Only those who would
profit by an OVer-supply in the labor
market will regret the falling off of this
part of the accretion from abroad. The
official report shows an aggregate less
ening of immigrants the past ten
months of 100000 from the previous
year. The decrease from Scandinavia
was from 62,051 to 1926. which is the
largest per cent of reduction from any
country. This is a class greatly to be
desired, as they are generally small
farmers. and industrious, valuable eiti-
zens. The shortage with these is be-
lieyed to be due to the impression among
them that agriculture is somewhat

ture, when the new governor would I'LL
the vacancy with Democrat. But that
is a conclusion that would shake the
Republican pillars. The appearance of
Democrat from Iowa on the floor of
the senate asking seat would send
SpaSm through that staid body. The
contingency that might cause this re-
suit would be less likely to be
the refusal of a few Republicans
to vote for ALLISON than the fail
ure of the house to organize. In this
body of 100 members there are fifty Re-
publicans and fifty Democrats. On a
former occasion, when this body was a
tie, ten days were requisite TO effect an
organization, and then by compromise
the offices were divided. Unless the
house organizes there can be no election
of senator, If the Democrats can
keep their fifty constantly on duty, or
break the quorum in case of absence of
any member. they can compel the Re-
publlcans to give them the organization
or go without their SENATOR. Probably
they will offer them. as in the former
case. all the offices in the house but the
Speakership This they will try to hold
on to. as the speaker appoints The COM
mittees, and thereby virtually directs
the legislation. The Democrats might
remain out and refuse to qualify, and
thereby defeat any organization. This
would prevent the joint ballot and
election of senator. But there would
be no justification of this quasi
revolutionary course, as the peculiar
eirC umstances that compel this course
in the case of one branch of the Mon
tana legislature do not exist in Iowa.
There can be no just criticism, how
ever. of the course of the Democrats in
steadily voting as unit for their own
men. The United States law cOmDelS
the Joint convention the second We'd
nesdaY after the organization of both
houses. and ballot for senator in case
no man has on the day previous had a
majority i'm each house. 1t is very I'M
pOrtant to the Democrats to have con-
troll of the committees in the house, as
it will give them chance to bring their
measures to a vote, and they would
make a needless surrender in entering
into any kind of a compromise. They
will do well to remember that all things
COME to those who wait.

A CODE OF ETHICS.

One of the leading medical UNIVERSE
ties in New York state is seriously de-
mOrallzed by an application of the alb
Surd within that passes as code of
ethics with the orthodox medical
schools, that they shall not advertise.
Two of the most capable professors were
practicing specialtieS that they wanted
to advertise. and their application for
that privilege caused their dismissal
from the institution, and a rebellion
with the students. No rational reason
has ever been assigned for this quirk
among class that is conceded to be
generally as free from illiteracy and
crankism as most callings. A suspicion
of the real basis for il may be had when
it is observed that no class finds more
satisfaction in the gratuitous variations
in the press of professional experiences
and skill. Nor is there objection to the
inexpensive legend upon the tin sign on
the outer wall. or the dOor-plate upon
the residence. The modesty of con-
sciOus worth is not the chief basis of
the code OF ethics.

THE MOKMONPERu.

A good deal of interest will attach to
the result of the effort in L tab to estab.
lish the ineligibilitY of Mormon aliens
to citizenship. The larger part of the
proSelyteS to the MOrmod faith are from
the Ignorant classes of Europe. If they
can be excluded from the ballot box the
Gentle element will be likely to soon
overpOwer the miniOns of the political
church. The testimony taken during
the recent investigation leaves no room
for doubt that treason to the state has
its pestiferOus nest in the bosom of that
church. The fact that polygamy is
practiced by many of its chief lights Is
not the heart of the peril. This lies in
the ~. tie domination of the HER
archy overits dupes. Perjury and muir
der are the highest service to the church
when its power is at stake. 1t is be-
cause the masses of the Mormons are
sincere and Ianatically devoted to the
service of the church that they are dan
gerOus. We're they dishonest and i'm
posters, the system would be far less
perIlous. When the fangs of the beast
can be kept out of the body polite, one
of the main elements of evil potency

WHEAT Gk.lN r.s<, DANGER

WHEAT GR:DW FRS DANGER.
A prominent Canadian paper attaches
great Importance To the views of Lord
DUFFERlN given at notable banquet
rendered him recently by the London
chamber of commerce. The subject of
his address was. naturally, the CONNER
cial value of India to Great Britain, and
the prospect that it will be the chief
reliance of that country for its wheat
supply. The latter point is of interest
TO the producers of the great staple in
this country. British capital and in
dustrieS are deeply concerned in the
development of the vast Oriental region,
from the fact that it has already be-
come one of the chief purchasers Of
their manufactures, and is storehOuse
of cheap breadstuffS. Lord DUFFERIN
has investigated India by personal OBJ
servation. and his views have great
weight with English people. He states
that the United States is the only cOun-
try in the world that Britain trades as
largely with as with India, and yet the
Indian traffic is only in its infancy.
The fact of this immense and growing
trade tends to plauSibility in his antici-
patiOns of the development of the food
products of India that supplement the
insufficient home growth. 1t will in
duce British capital to go there to build
the railroads which are claimed to be
the only need to secure vast additions to
the wheat area. Possibly there was
the characteristic pride of domination
in the ayerment that with the construc-
ton of the network of railways India
would be the rival of all wheat-prOduc-
ing countries; but the ostrich policy is
not the Sagacious one for the American
farmer. He should look courageousIy
over the water and anticipate probable
contingencies. Labor costs compare
lively little in India. and is inexhausti-
bic in supply. Possibly tie English
gentleman is not far from the fact when
he asserts that the time is not distant
when England can draw on her East
ern dependency for all the wheat
and cotton she may need. The
American grower cannot have the
cheap labor of India, but he
has advantages in quality of grain and
cost Of freightage. How far these will
I'm the future compensate for the in
creased cost of production is a problem
for inquiry. 1t is the part of prudence
to concpde that the competition of the
Orient may be formidable, and provide
such relief as may be practicable. The
Canadian commentator is impressed
with the conviction that the American
farmers need to reduce the cost of
wheat growing promptly, and suggests.
as the most available recourse, the abo-
lition of the tariff on their articles of
use and consumption. By securing
cheap supplies they would materially
lower the cost of their grain to them.
and better enable them to enter the for
eign market with its pressing eOmpeti-
ton. The suggestion is not altogether
novel, but is not losing any of its
strength by its repetition in alien, and
presumabl y somewhat impartial quar-
tiers,

AN ELECTKIO DANCER.

Cleveland has had an electric street
railway with overhead wires in opera
ton some time; but the accident that
occurred in connection with it the past
week has caused such alarm that the
papers are shouting ''DOwn with the
wIres" and demanding return to the
horse power. The trouble was all
caused by harmless telephone wire
falling across the trolley wire of the
electric railway. the end falling upon a
horse being driven to carriage. The
instant it touched the large railway wire
it became charged with fatal current,
and the horse dropped dead. The
driver was narrowly missed, or he
would have suffered the same fate.
Men who attempted to aid the parties
in the carriage to escape were repulSed
by the force. Had the wire struck the
seat of an open vehicle. the occupants
would have been roasted, as the
lineman in New York was. Sew
eral chance escapes from SIM
liar horrible fatality are related
by the papers of that city. In one in
stance two ladies Were barely missed
10y the wire. As similar motors are to
be operated in this and other cities. it is
important to know the possibilities of
danger connected with them. If there
is any way to obviate such perils and
insure security, it should be adopted.
The Cleveland papers evidently do not
believe immunity from disaster is posi-
ble while other wires cross or are with
in possibility of contact with those
charged with the deadly current. A
storm or coating of sleet is liable to
bring down the small wires at any time.
On residence and suburban streets this
objection can be Obviated. The tele
phone and other wires need not cross
the trolley wire. In the Ohio city it is
alleged that there is very little advan-
tage in the electric system in the way of
speed, but the cost to the company re-
duced about One-half.

INTERNAL REV kNUE TAXES.

1t is insisted by protective organs that
the internal revenue taxes should be re-
pealed because of the vastness Of the
amounts they take from the people.
One of them aggregates a total iu the
past five years of S6OS, 3l9, 357 from whis-
ky and tobacco. This is pronounced a
terrible burden, and the terms odious,
internal and such are used to stimulate
opposition. This money has gone into
the pockets of pensioners and to defray
the expenses of the government. The
government has no way to get money
except by extracting it from the people.
1t matters little in the end whether it
comes through a direct or circuitous
channel. 1t all comes from the people
in any event. But in the past five years
the people have paid vastly more than
500. 100000 of taxes OH necessarieS of
life, not dollar of which has gone into
the public treasury. Most of it went
