Managtr Farrar has secured as
an added attraction for tonight SER
les of slides illustrating the Joliet
prison in all its mysteries. In the
course of this excellent entertainment
which takes the audience step by
step from the massive iron-barred
gates to the solemn but frequently
visited graveyard, two thousand
prisoners, male and female, are shown
at their different work. All the cells
in the different departments of this
human stockade are shown, includ-
ing the worlds famous solitary con-
finement stall, which, although SEEM
ingly cruel, is necessary to force a
few unruly inmates to obey the pris-
on's rigid routine.
This set of pictures Is accompau-
led by an experienced lecturer, who
talks very Interestingly on each pic
ture. This is the prison in which
Mrs. Cassie Chadwick was confined
and in which she died. Several views
of her will be shown.

Significance of the document is that
1t makes official admission that con-
ditions are already well known among
army and navy officers in this coun-
try and abroad.
General Wood, in his testimony be-
fore the House military committee
today furnished some of the most in
teresting information ever given be-
fore that body. He discussed the
whole subject of national defenses,
told where the weak points lay and
laid particular emphasis on the pos
sibility of attack from the orient. He
did not give vent to any alarmist
views as to danger of any immediate
invasion, but talked confidentially of
the need that Congress take imme-
date action to guard against any
possible trouble from Japan or Chi
/ ma.
! Representative McLachlan of Cali
fornia, the author of the resolution
which brought about the official ex-
position of the weakness of the mill
tary defenses said today:
"a foreign country could land 200,-
900 troops on the Pacific coast in &c
days, and the only intimation Of
trouble would be their blowing VI
of the mountain passes, thus proven
ting and communication with the
East. In the three States west of the
Rocky administration Oregon
and Washington-we have 5000 re
gular troops and 5000 of State mill
tia men. The best military authors
ties say that it would take years t.
dislodge foreign troops if they evel
secured a foothold under these con
ditions, and that it would cost thu
United States a billion dollars"

THE ELECTION OF JUDGES.

The proposal of amendment to the
Vermont Constitution, introduced
Tuesday by Senator Archibald, of
Bennington county, providing that the
Supreme Court Judges shall be elect
ed every ten years instead of every
two years deserves careful considera-
ton and is measure of no little
merit. OF course the Judges almost
always are reelected every two years,
as a matter of form, but the tenure
of office would be more secure and
would tend to give the Judges a
greater sense of stability than the
present method.
Few States elect their Judges for
such short terms as Vermont does.
Most States elect their Judges by d.
rect vote of the people instead of lay
ing that duty upon the Legislature
as we do in Vermont. In his speech
at the Precautionary banquet at Bur-
lington President Taft said: you
elect your Judges by the Legislature,
| should think way that might be
improved and you elect them every
one or two years. | forget winch
but whatever it is, the tenure OF Of
flee is practically for life, because
you believe that when you have got a
good thing you ought to keep it. THE
President was right. The method OF
electing our Judges might be i'm
proved, and this year would be good
time to accomplish the change.
We lay too many election duties
upon the Legislature, which is sup
posed to be a law-making body, not
an extensive body Even the constitu-
tional provision providing for the
election of United States Senators is
opposed by many States and probably
will be changed within the next de-
cade or two.
There are serious objections to the
election of Judges by the Legislature
A proposal of amendment already
made is designed to put stop to the
practice, 80 prevalent of choosing
Judges from the membership of the
legislature which elects. 1t will be
remembered that two years ago there
were persistent reports the effect
that the election of a Judge was COM
plicated with the passage of the so.
called salary grab" bill. 1t ought
not to be possible to allow such ar
important matter to depend in any de-
gree upon the passage of Legislative
measures, or to give occasion for any
suspicion of deals or combinations.
If the Judges were elected directly
by the people this paper, for one, be-
lieves that the system would be al
improvement over the present one ant
that ten year term would be ii
keeping with the dignity of the office
and the quality of the men whom we
choose for high judicial positions.

THE IMMIGRATION COMMISSION.

"A Brief Statement of the COnclus-
ions and Recommendation of the
immigration Commission" of which
Senator Dillingham; is chairman, has
recently been issued, and it is an in
teresting and an important document.
The pamphlet gives brief history
of the commission and it's work, in
Guiding the Investigations made in
Europe and the United States. 1t is
shown that from July 1, 1919 to June
80, 1910, 27,21S,710 immigrants were
admitted to the United States, and of
this number 81. % per cent came from
European countries. From 1919 to
1883 more than 50 per cent of the Eur
opean immigration originated in
Great Britain, Germany, Scandinavia,
the Netherlands, Belgium, France and
Switzerland Since 1883 70 per cent.
of European immigration has come
from the southern and eastern por-
lions of the continent.
The older immigration was one of
permanent settlers. OF the newer i'm
migration at least 40 per cent. returns
W EUROPE anu DIT ltdSt oU per cent
remains there. More than 35 per cent.
of the newer immigration is illiterate
as compared with less than 3 per
cent of the old class.
1t is interesting to note that the
commission declares that emigration
from Europe is not now an absolute
economic necessity and as a rule those
who emigrate to the United States
are impelled by a desire for better
ment rather than by the necessity of
escaping intolerable conditions This
fact should largely modify the natur-
al incentive to treat the immigration
movement from the standpoint of SEN
timent and permit its consideration
primarily in an economic problem"
The commission was surprised to
find fewer cases of overcrowding in the
cities, and less uncleanliness than was

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The High School and graded
schools close Friday for a two weeks
holiday, reopening on Tuesday, jan
uary 3rd.
Miss Mary Doheny of the grades
who has been at her home in North
field owing to the illness of her moth
er, will not return until after the
Christmas recess.
Rhetoricals will be conducted by
the High School students Friday aft
'ernoon.
w. d. Bartlett has been i'll the past
week and has just resumed his work
so that the drum corps is slightly
out of practice. Rehearsals will not
be held again until after the recess
The Batavia system is being tried
in modification in the second grades
of the primary building, this system
providing for two teachers in the
same room at the same time, one
teaching, the other doing individual
work with the pupils.
There are 80 pupils under one teach
er in the eighth grade, sign of over
crowded conditions which the taxpay-
ers who voted against the new High
School proposition do not seem to
realize as very serious and vital
problem. The average efficient plan
is 80 pupils to teacher at the most.
Practically the same crowded condi-
tons prevail throughout the grades
and high school. The total enroll
ment is 1880. There were but II tar
dy marks in November to be register
ed and there were 351 visitors.

oratorical contest between the two
schools. DR.. Bishop favors the plan.

plan and authorized the going ahea?
with the scheme. 1t is planned no
only to have the usual debate but es
says, recitations, etc, and give tn
girls equal opportunity with the boy
of the two schools to compete il

expected. Not many of the newer
class of immigrants have engaged in
agriculture, although Italians have
been successful in truck farming. AS
similation Is retarded by the absence
of family life among many immigrants.
1t is significant that the commission
says that "the most potent influence
in promoting the assimilation of the
family is the children who through
contact through American life in the
schools, almost invariably act as the
unconscious agents in the uplift of
their parents Not only do the i'm
migrants change their habits of life
and ways of thinking but an interest
ing anthropological discovery is made
in the fact that the children of such
immigrants present an entirely differ
ent physical type.
The commission recommends that
further general legislation concern
based primarily upon economic or
business consideration, touching the
prosperity and economic well being
of our people; that aliens convict
ed of serious crimes within a period
of five years should be deported; that
immigrant banks should be strictly
regulated; that the amount of money
required of the immigrant should be
materially increased; that the head
tax should be materially increased
and that it should discriminate in ia
vor of the man with family.
The report indicates a vast amount
of research and is an exceedingly val
, liable Much of the success is due to
Senator Dillingham; and to Walter w
