TAKE ONLY THE BEST.
Threshold Improvement in 1,nmi-.
grafton Laws Recommended.

Three-f0ld Improvement In Ilnmi.
grafton avn Recommended.
Our present immigration laws are I'M
satisfactory. We need every honest and
American citizen, every immigrant who
comes here to stay, who brings here q
strong body, a stout heart, a good head
and a resolute purpose to do his duty well
in every way n to bring up his children
as law-abiding and God-fearing members
Of the community. But there should be. q
comprehensive law enacted with the OBJ
ject of working a threefold Improvement
over our present system. First we should
aim to exclude absolutely not only all
persons who are known to be believers
in anarchistic principles or members Of
anarchistic societies. but also all persons
who are Of a low moral tendency or Of
unsavOry reputation. This means that
we should require a more thorough sys-
rigid system Of examination at our Inn
migration ports, the former being espe--
bcially necessary.
The second object OF a proper linz .
. migration law ought to be to secure .
. by a. careful and not merely per- =
q functory educational test some intel
. ligent capacity to appreciate sAmeri-
. can institutions and act sanely as =
American citizens.
This, would not keep out all anarchists,
for many of them belong to the intelligent
criminal class, but would do what II also
in point-that Is. tend to decrease the sum
Of ignorance 30 potent in producing the
envy, suspicion, malignant passion and
hatred of order out OF which anarchisttc
sentiment inevitably springs Finally all
persons should be excluded who are bee
low a certain standard of economic mt
ness to enter our Industrial Held as ON
petitors with American labor. There
should be proper proof Of personal Papa
city to earn an American living and
enough none to- insure q decent start
under American conditions. This would
stop the influx OF cheap labor9Sand the res
sulting competition which gives fises 20
much Of bitterness In Americahstnd1gtFial
life. and 1t would dry the springs OF
the residential social conditions IN our
great cities where anarchistic 0rgaIlisa-l
lions have their greatest possibility of
growth. N SMs5s$sMsE

Tests in the cultivation Of potatoes.
made last year. show that, whether
planted whole or cut. the large pota-

case; but when the financial results
were looked into, it was found that the
biggest profit was made by planting
whole large potatoes, and the next
largest profit from whole small ones.

world loses its head. It loses what legis-
lation cannot supply. Fundamentally
the welfare OF each citizen and therefore
the welfare OF the aggregate Of citizens
which makes the nation must rest upon
individual thrift and. energy, resolution
and intelligence. Nothing can take the.
place OF this individual capacity, but wise
iegislation and honest and intelligent ad-
ministration can give 1t the fullest scope.
the largest opportunity to work to good
effect.
The tremendous and highly CONF
. pick Industrial development which .
. went on with ever accelerated rapid
. ity during the latter half of the r,ine- .
>teenth century brings us face to face .
. at the beginning Of the twentieth =
. with very serious social problems. .
!. The old laws and the old customs which
had almost the binding force OF law were
once quite sufficient to regulate the accu-
mutation and distribution of wealth.
Since the Industrial changes which have
SO enormously Increased the productive
power of mankind they are no longer
sufficient. sElS
The growth of cities has gone on beyond
comparison faster than the growth of the
country and the upbuildi1Is of the great
Industrial centars has meant a startling
increase not merely in the aggregate Of
wealth, but in thu umbe Of. very large
individual and especially of very large
corporate fortunes.
. The creation of these great corpora
. ate fortunes has NOT been due to =
. the tariff nor to any other govern q
Q mental action, but to natural causes .

. other countries as they operate In .
q our own. D
The process has aroused much Gntag-
onism, a great part OF which is wholly
without warrant. It is not true that as
the rich hav grown richer the poor have
grown poorer. On the contrary, never
before has the average a the age
worker, the farmer, the mail trader,
been SO well Oft as in this country and
at the present time. There have been
abuses connected with the accumulation
OF wealth, yet 1t remains true that a
fortune accumulated in legitimate BUSH

upon others. Successful enterprise of the

Should Have Speedy Trial.

The Jefferson county grand jury has returned two indictments against Prosecuting Attorney w. B. Sorrells. We know nothing of the merits of the case, but we do know MT. Sorrells to be a brilliant. capable and amiable young man, and if the indictments are not well founded on fact they do him q great injury If, on the other hand, there was cause for the indictments, the prosecution should be vigorous. We trust that both justice and MT. Sorrells will be vindicated for a shadow on the character of a young man would, to say the least, be very unfortunate.
