IMMIGRATION REPORT
viii Cost Half a Million and Give
Much Valuable information

Ten volumes of statistics gathered
at an expense that will be close to
$500 will constitute the report of the
joint congressional immigration COM
mission now practically completed. 1t
will be ready to be submitted to Con-
gress in December.
The great mass of information gath
cred in the United States and foreign
countries will be preceded by a sum-
mary including a brief of the facts
ascertained, and recommendations for
Legislation. Just what the character
of these recommendations will be is
not yet known, but it is understood
that additional restrictions on immi-
igration will be urged
| The commission was created by an
act passed February 20, 1907 Sen
ator Dillingham; of Vermont is chair
man and Senator Lodge of Massachu-
sets is one of the members. The
commission was created by a compro-

Practical Reform

The chief inspector OF amusement
places in the city OF Chicago testifies
in print that the nickel theatres
have done more to injure the saloon
business than any other factor ever
did He adds.
"Tne man who after his days worl;
and supper would wander to the
neighborhood saloon now
takes the family to the nickel thea
ire"
Commenting on this, The New York
,Word concludes.
IF it be true that the nickel tnea-
tire is a strong rival to the saloon
manifestly these shows in the inter
est of morality but otherwise give
them encouragement. That they are
entertaining and inexpensive and that
they may be made instructive is a
strong argument in favor of these peO-
pies theatres"
This is only one of several conspic-
uous examples tending to show that
the indirect AMI unitarian influences
that have affected the liquor traffic
and liquor habit have actually done
more good for the cause of practical
temperance than all the efforts of tenn
perance reformers the wide world
over The iron clad demands of mod
ern business concerns, for instance,
are dictated with little thought of the
moral factor and are grounded upon
the matter of fact ideas of undisguis-
ed self interest, but the well nigh
general insistence that employees
must be sober and may not use liquor
on duty, and in some instances the
out and out refusal to employ men
that are known to drink at all, make
short cut to q field of temperance
work that the long distance emotion
alists can never reach to harvest.
Tie simple lesson of generations
experience in this matter is that the
average man does not recognize any
moral issue in the campaign for total
abstinence. But when ais employer
SAYS he must let liquor alone or lose
his job, the case is put on the bread
and-butter basis of argument and
there is only one side to that question
for him.-St. Adams Messenger.

Vermont Needs II.

Governor Hughes might extend his
campaign for a direct primary law to
include Vermont. No state in the
Union needs the correcting influence
of such law in its politics more than
Vermont does because, with the dead
weight of the overwhelming Republic
can majority here, the nomination OF
a caucus or convention is practically
equivalent to an election. That means
that our governors, senators, repre-
sentatives, and all are not elected al
the ballot box and under all the guar
antics of the laws safeguarding that
keep the ballot sacred, but that they
are chosen I'm the loose and well-nigt
irresponsible unofficial assemblies Of
political partisans, for tais purpose
well-nigh outside the law altogether
and law unto themselves.
We talk about an election by the
people here in Vermont and make
great show of going to the ballot boz
in September to exercise our great
American prerogative as freemen But
for the most part we simply formally
ratify an election" that was made
through the clever manipulation OF
experienced politicians and workers
in these conventions a few weeks be
fore
few attempts nave been made in
the past to interest the Vermont leg
islature in a direct primary law. but
each attempt has been turned down,
always without debate by
a majority of the wisdom and virtue
most of whom never gave the subject
five minutes thought and some of
whom never heard of it before. at all.
The principal argument against the
direct primary system in Vermont is
that the practical politicians don't
want it.-St. Adams Messenger.

If we had a big metropolis like
New York to milk, we might have as
good state roads on this side of Lake
Champlain as are being constructed
in the Empire state. However there
is nothing to prevent us from making
good trunk lines of highways on a
business basis, just as we paid for
our own Champlain celebration.-Bur
lington Free Press.
The sentiment in favor of those
trunk line roads is growing all the
time and if we can ever get a legis-
lature together that is willing to lop
off few extravagances and put the
natural increase in the state income
into trunk line road building Vermont
can build all the trunk lines needed
without an extra dollar of direct tax
alton.

NO SPEED LIMIT ROADS
England May Build Highways Es-

London, Aug. 30.-In the House of
Commons David Lloyd-George, the
chancellor of the exchequer, has intro
duced what he briefly called the de
velopment bill" 1t empowers the
government to make grants for the
development of agriculture rural in
dustries, transportation narbors, and
similar enterprises.
Among the most striking features
of the bill is one which bestows au-
thority on the government to acquire
land compulsorily and make roads on
which there will be no speed limit,
especially for automobile traffic.

begun their campaign for Juniper

memorial earlier, their chances of
success naturally would have been
greater.-Montpelier Journal.
AS the great bulk of the lake is in

Vermont has the better claim to the
monument By placing it on Juniper
island in full view of all lake traffic

Just as the capacity of automobiles is
measured in horsepower, the cleaning
value of Fels-Naptha Soap should be meas
ured in woman-power.
Fels-Naptha Soap gets rid of more dirt
in thirty minutes than three or four women
in half day.
You've often wished for an extra pair
of hands on washday.
Fels-Naptha Soap is better than several
pairs of hands.
Because Fels-Naptha Soap actually at
tacks the dirt and dissolves it.
No boiling is necessary; no hard rub
bing
You just wet the clothes, soap well
with FelsrNaptha, put to soak, and think
of something else.
At the end of thirty minutes you rub
them lightly, rinse out and they're ready
for the line All this in cool or 1ukewarm
water, mind you in Summer or Winter
no boiling, no hot suds.
For all uses of Fels-Naptha, follow
directions on the red and green wrapper.
