The IMMIGRATION QUESTION:

Recent occurrences In Asia Minor
and in Central America warrant the
belief that there Is more than one
serious phase to the immigration ques.
ton. We have to deal not only with
the undesirable immigrant who comes
to this country and stays here, but
likewise with the undesirable imml-
Grant who comes here long enough
to acquire American citizenship and
then goes back TO plot against the gov.
eminent of his native land, relying
upon the protection Of the United
States government when he Is In dan
ger of being shot or hanged. In both
cases the American people are the vic.
tins of their own generosity In the
matter of naturalization laws. 1t Is
about time that they should consider
the ACCESSIBILITY Of revising those laws.
We grant the privileges Of citizenship
to anybody who asks for them. DC.
casionally a Judge will take the trou.
BILE to examine and reject an applicant
because of his confessed ignorance of
our language, laws and institutions.
but as general thing new citizens are
ground through the judicial hopper rs
rapidly as they can make the neces-
sary affidavits. This. Of course, op.
crates to increase the number Of I'm.
desirable citiZens-both those who
stay in this country and those who re-
turn to their native countries to stil
| up trouble. The remedy in the case Of
the former class is more difficult thar
with respect to the latter. 1t Is doubt
full whether congress, Influenced as II
is by fears of political consequences
| will go so far as to restrict immigra
ton or even seriously to raise the
qualifications for citizenship. PROB
ably, therefore. we shall have to take
care of our home-staylng immigrants
rs best we may, without hoping FOL
any great Improvement In their intel
llgence or general desirability, W.
can, however, deal easily enough witt
the naturallzcd American who uses hls
citizenship rs Il cloak under which t.
prosecute revolutionary designs
against the country to which he hai
forsworn allegiance. We can repudi
ate him altogether, making provision
in the naturalization laws to meet sucl
cases. This country should not permi
itself 10 be used MS a mere convenience
by plotters and rcvolutionaries.

AGRICULTURE AND THE OPPOR-
7UNITIES or The FARMER.

Consider the farmer, says the rail
way magnate, and the Wall street op.
orator, ana the ever admiring politi-
clan who rolls his eyes in ecstasy.
Riches are the farmers portion, they
all declare, and they kindly give him
bunch. lest he should overlook the
fact in the absorption Of the early
morning milking. But theirs are not
the only stories Of the farmers pros
perity, There are others Of more IN
innate kind that strike the imagination
quite as forcibly as statistical visions
In which the tller Of the land Is repre-
sented as having 200, 100000 bushels
Of corn and some odd millions OF

farmers homes. Telephones, electric
lights, "all the modern improvements"
loom up as they do In the model Gre
atiOns of a new subdivision. The route
back to the soil is by way of spacious
mansions thus equipped. And II all
farmers are not supplied with luxuries
to the full degree there have certainly
been changes enough Of late years to
excite comment. COnveniences have
multiplied amazingly, there Is much
less Of isolation than there used to be.

review of the complaint shows the
case is the outgrowth of the litigation
that developed in 1904 when the First
National Bank of Lewiston was
plaintiff in the case against r. c.
Beach, claiming $4,000 damages for
alleged damages to the building OF
the plaintiff and s400 damages al
legged to have been incurred by John
p. Vollmer & Co. to the latter's bust
ness, through the removal of a porch
from the front of the building occu-
pied by the plaintiff.
The porch was removed by the
street commissioner, under an ordi-
nance passed by the council, at the
time Mr.. Beach was mayor. The trial
of the case, which attracted much at
tention. resulted in a non-suit in fa-
vor of Beach. 1t was alleged that the
removal of the porch in question was
by malice on the part of
Beach as mayor, and through Ill will
on account of being a busines COM
petitor of John p. Vollmer & Co. An
appeal from the decision of the dis
trict court was taken but later dis
missed on motion of the plaintiff.

RUNAWAY BOYS CAPTURED.
VIII Not Be Returned to Pcndleton
by the Authorities.


Earl Morris and Ernest Burch. two
14-year-old boys, residents of this
place and well known here, have been
taken In custody at Spokane by the
police as vagrants. Their parents
here were communicated with
through Marshal Carney.
The father of the Morrison boy re-
fuses to interfere with the course OF
Spokane affairs, virtually leaving the
boy to work out the problems of life
without further parental advice or
Interference. The boy served short
sentence I'm the Pendleton city jail
u short time ago.
The Burch boy recently came here
from the East, and seems to incline
his ear" not to righteousness, but to
the first hint of mischief brewing In
whatsoever direction II may be. His
father hoped that the boy would be
returned to Pendleton, but refused to
go to any expense himself in the
premises, and the police refuse to go
after the boy on those terms. So 1t
is probable that both boys will be at
large as soon as the Spokane police
court is through with them

Today Constable o. L. Baker of
Adams, under direction of the coun-
ty court, as the head OF the county
health department. placed a quaran-
tine on the home of Ed Redford, two
and quarter miles east of Adams
where well developed and serious
case of diphtheria is now being treat
ed.
1t has been known that there was
diphtheria at the Redford home, and
on Sunday a partial quarantine was
put into effect, but Redford was not
confined to his home, and yesterday,
the city council and people of Ad-
ans became alarmed at the possibili-
ties of the spread of the disease to
that town, and petitioned the county
court to enforce a complete legal
quarantine of the premises.
The little child of Ed Redford is
the victim of the disease, and had
been attending the public school at
Adams before being attacked with
the diphtheria.
While It is well known that diph-
NhSiAh 'iiS pSSh thh thC
sion school, on the reservation, 1t is
not known where the Redford child
was exposed to 1t.
The Redford home is IL miles
from the Mission school and unless
very lax quarantine methods have
been enforced there, 1t is hardly pos
sible that the Redford case could
have originated at the Mission school.
The people OF Adams and vicinity are
greatly incensed at the lack of strict
quarantine and fear that the matter
has been delayed too long now to
prevent a spread of the dread dis
ease. Redford's home is four miles
from the Hall home, where little
child died with the same disease last
week. and it is feared that already the
fatal germs have been carried into
more homes in that vicinity.
The law regulating quarantinee is
very strict and the people will insist
that all the provisions be carried out
to the letter, and in addition will con-
duct close personal inspection and
of every home that may
have been exposed in the most re-
mote degree.
