THE IMMIGRATION BILL.

Traditional American sentiment will
be with the house in it's refusal to go
with the senate in the extreme feat
ures of the Lodge immigration bill.
The action of the house in rejecting an
educational test for immigrants Is
based upon a fundamental distinction
between admission to the country and
admission to its citizenship.
The defects of our naturalization
laws are universally recognized, and
the provisions of the bill requiring uni
formity, certainty of record and tests
OF qualification for the duties of citi-
zenship have been generally COM
mended and have not been seriously
questioned in the house. Even -noder-
ate educational tests are approved by
influential foreign born citizens, for
citizenship involves grave responsible
tiles as we'll as rights and privileges.
But the feeling that this country
should continue to be an asylum for
the oppressed In all lands. as 1t has
been from the beginning, is no idle
sentiment, but is deep-rooted in Amer
lean experience and conviction. Every
generous impulse agrees with, broad
humanitarian sympathy that no need
less. vexatious or burdensome impedi-
ment be put by law in the way of those
who come in good faith to better their
condition here. Their very coming Is
evidence OF appreciation OF our oppor.
| tunities and institutions. Religious
and political persecution are not al
together things of the past, but still
bear grievously upon great populations
in some foreign lands. The true Amer
lean spirit instinctlvely recoils from
educational tests and arbitrary head
taxes designed to prevent escape from
such conditions.
Foreign and native born citizens
alike agree to regulations which Will
enable public authority TO exclude
from our shores UNIT and dangerous
immigrants. 1t is proper to conside
questions of disease, pauperism anC
criminality, and that class who come
not in good faith. but to take advan
tage OF residence for wrongful pur
poses. But it is different thing u
turn back the honest and industriou
immigrant, though he may lack II
school education. The bill as the hous
wants 1t, gives him a fair chance
while preserving the valuable feat
ures of the senate measure, both as 4
immigration and naturalization.

the purposes which Mr.. Armour as
serts the packers heartily favor, thor

In fact the essential Interests of the
consumer, the live stocs producer and
the packer meet in securing indubit-
able proof Of the excellence of our
meats. We can profitably sell them in
the markets of the world at prices
which no competitor can match. It is
an suspicious sign that those who con-
troll the great packing industry, hold
ing so vital relation between live
stock raisers and the meat consuming
public at home and abroad, realize the
situation and are disposed to adjust
themselves to It.

GRAIN lNVEsrN, y rroN oRpERrD.


Our western states will follow with
special interest the investigation which
the Interstate Commerce commission is
ordered by senate resolution TO make
into the elevator. grain buying and for
warding business for the purpose OF
showing to what extent special favors
have been granted. the influence which
the alleged monopolizlng Of this branch
OF business has had upon the market
and the extent to which the railroads,
their officers. stockholders and en-
ployes own or control the grain COM
panies. While the public is inter-
ested as consumers of bread, as Of
coal and oil and in the far-reaching
abuse of rate discrimination. 1t is in
the agricultural states of the west that
the evils in the grain business have
caused most complaint because they
are there most directly felt. They are,
too, in large part complicated with in
terstate commerce, so that the powers
Of the national government must be
invoked for effective remedy.
The results which Immediately fol-
lowed inquiry by the Interstate Com
merce commission into the relations
between the carrier companies and the
coal and oil industries we're so import
ant and startling that much will nat
urally be expected from the turning
OF its searchlight upon the buying,
storage and shipment Of grain. The
full powers OF the national govern
ment are being directed for the en-
forcement of laws long in allegiance
with respect to coal and oil. The like
consequences may be expected in the
grain business II similar abuses are
found. In any event the subject is
one peculiarly sensitive to the power
of publicity, and the information gath
cred by the Interstate Commerce com
mission will likely be invaluable for
the use of the states also in dealing
with it within their spheres.

By FALSE PRETENSES.

1t is gradually becoming plain even
Gus rotation ballot decision was pro-
cured by the Fontanelles under false
pretenses.
In arguing that case to the court
the Fontanelle lawyers laid all their
stress on one string, that the arrange
ment of the names on the official bal
lot in groups by delegations, although
of great convenience to the voters and,
in fact, necessary to prevent arbitrary
Acknowledgement of a large part of
the voters, should not be permitted
because it might leave the "inde-
pendent" candidate for delegate ask
ing for votes on the strength of his
own personality on an unequal foot
ing with those who had associated
themselves together in a group. The
rights of the free citizen who aspired
to go to the convention from abso-
lutely disinterested motives to dis
charge the highest duty of citizenship
must be protected even If the ballot
be stretched to thirty-nine feet six
inches, or anywhere within the forty
foot limit, or force the ordinary voter
to take two hours to mark his ballot.
That all this talk was subterfuge
and insincerity is disclosed by the re-
cent action Of the Fontanelle bosses
in making up slate of SO out of the
143 independent" candidates for del
egates to the exclusion of the remain
ing sixty Independents" The pro-
lection of the rights of the candidate
not attached to any group is no longer
their cry. Having served his pur-
poses to befuddle the court, the 'inde-
pendent" candidate can shift for him
self. His rights were only important
while the decision was pending. He
must now step aside while the bosses
who prevailed upon him to file his
name give instructions that he is not
to be considered in the running.
What do the rank and file of Doug.
las county republicans think of this
sort Of jugglery and trickery? II
there was ever any intention to have
a free and fair contest. what was tc
have prevented the Fontanelles from
making their selection of eighty-thret
in advance and having their names
also grouped on the ballot and let the
people decide between the severa
groups?
There was no call whatever of i'm
posing upon the voter the intricaciei
of the rotated ballot except for tn,
purposes of confusing him and dis
franchislng him in order to proven
by stealth and fraud the election of
delegation for Edward Rosewater-i

ARMouk oN MEAr INSPECTION.

The carefully prepared statement
given out by ]. ogden Armour upon
his return from Europe will be taken
as representative of the present views
of the big packers, particularly those
who have extensive interests in the
meat export trade. While Mr.. Armour
justly complains of many sensational
newspaper tales touching packing
house conditions generally, as not pre-
senting the whole truth and putting
weapons in the hands of foreign preju-
dice and hostile interest, the attitude Of
the Chicago packers toward proposed
inspection legislation, as the public had
reason TO understand it, was not at first,
at least, as he now positively afirms
It TO be. However that may be, II may

system of oficial oversight and certi-
heation, the results or which will be
