Restricting immigration.

measure is before congress pro-
posing once more an educational test
for immigration. II has some stout de-
tenders. and equally strong opponents
Among the latter is Dr. Charles w.
Eliot, former president OF Harvard.
who addresses a letter to the house
setting forth reasons why congress
should hesitate to impose such a test,
or to proceed hastily with any action
restricting immigration. DIR. Eliot
meets the arguments set up on moral,
physical, social, religious. commercial
and educational lines in order, declar-
ing:
All attempts to exclude healthy and hon
est immlgr tnts are inconsistent with the
rtghtful generosity Of freemen toward peo-
pie who wish 70 be free.
1t is difficult to get around this
self-evident proposition. Not so many
generations ago, all Americans were
immigrants to this great land of equal
rights and popular government. But
aside from ethical consideration, the
chief fault with the educational test
is that IL IL not true test. Exacting a
certain degree of learning of every
alien admitted to our shores will not
exclude immoral and diseased persons,
nor keep out any really dangerous
classes. All the moral and physical de-
linquents are not illiterate. any more
than are all the illiterates immoral
and unhealthy. 1t seems useless to pro-
coed with consideration of the fact
that we need labor in this country and
still look to our immigrants for the
supply.
Objection has been made to the
alien who comes to this country, Hitter
ate perhaps, for the purpose of ac-
cumulating money and returning in
few years to his native land. Where
is the objection? If he comes here an
illiterate. penniless man and, in a few
years. returns with a working knowl-
edge OF our language and fair com
potency, is not that all the proof re-
uuired of his worthiness as a citizen
of this or any other country? Ameri-
cans have profited by his work and his
example The sponsors of this educa-
tional test proposition are simply using
it as an excuse to cloak their eager
ness TO shut out aliens for no reason
whatever except that they are aliens.

Carrying it to the Limit.

While the wave for more direct
forms of government is on, attention
is claimed for a measure proposed in
South Dakota entitled A Constitution
for Regulation of. Political Party Pro-
cedure," which is, by all odds, the
most elaborate and carefully-worked-
out scheme of popular rule that has
been devised The plan is proposed
by its author. r. o. Richards, in the
form of a petition to the legislature
invoking the initiative and referendum
for its submission as an amendment
to the state constitution, and it makes
up a printed pamphlet, in small type,
covering nineteen large pages.
The value Of the primary to make
sure OF popular nomination is not
only recognized in this scheme, but is
also extended to every part OF the
party organization, to the endorse
ment of all elective party candidates,
to choosing to all appointive govern
ment positions other than postmaster,
to nomination of postmasters in each
town, and to the party recall by which
any public officer, elective or APP
pointive, may be forced to resign II
| adjudged by his own party to be re-
calcitrant to his party's pledges. This
South Dakota proposal is for a closed
| primary so far as being confined to
participation by enrolled members of
the respective parties, and also sub
stantially closed in the matter OF in
discriminate petition flings-that is
] to say, while there may be indie
pendent candidates seeking homina-
tion of their volition, at least two
sets of names are to be on the primary
ballot arranged in states made up by
separate elective representative pri-
mary committees. In other words,
the South Dakota proposal takes cog
nizance of the customary possession
by every political party Of at least two
! factions, and in this way endeavoTs
to help the factions fight 1t out be-
tween them. The whole party organ
ization from top to bottom is to be
chosen by direct primary, but the rep
resentative feature is reintroduced in
vesting certain committees with au-
thority to speak for the party in en-
dorsing candidates for appointive po-
sitions, state and federal, whose en-
dorsement is to be final upon the ap-
pointing officers under penalty of re-
call and enforced resignation.
This remarkable primary election
scheme is here cited by The Bee, not
for the purpose of holding it up to our
Nebraska people as the perfection OF
law-making, but as indicating how far
the principles of direct government
through the initiative and referen-
dun, direct primary and recall as con-
trasted with representative govern
ment could be carried, and to how
wide a field it could be applied II we
really set to work in earnest to follow
it out to its utmost extremes.

Alaska's Revenues.

In the course Of a debate in the
house recently Representative Wicker
sham of Alaska called attention to the
fact that that territory pays it's first
cost every year out of its fisheries
alone. The total salmon trade last
year amounted to 100000. IF
this house was not so absolutely and
densely ignorant of the value of
Alaska we could get little road that
would add very much to its develop
ment and make great American state
of one little community larger than
the state of Illinois surrounding the
Iditarod," he said.
Whether Mr.. Wickersham's stric-
lures upon the house fairly define its
intelligence of Alaskan resources or
not, congress needs to address itself
more specifically to the problem of the
territory's development. We find that
in addition to its $13,OO0,OOO salmon
crop last year it produced 100000, 900
worth of gold. Here are only two
items, It has scores of others produc-
tive of other millions every year. It's
coal fields, for instance, comprising
some 1900 square miles in area, are
beyond power to estimate in value.
It's timber and other minerals, to say
nothing of it's soil fertility, are ele-
ments of untold wealth. The trade
of Alaska to the United States last
year is said to have come to $50,
900 Yet no systematic EFFORT has
been made to develop that trade If
these figures are correct they only sug-
gest the wonderful possibilities that
lie in definite development.
The president took the pains to
send two cabinet officers to Alaska
last summer to study conditions. II
is to be hoped that before long con-
gress will adopt some specific plan of
expansion that will throw open to the
people of this country the wealth of
Alaska, SO much needed now. One of
the first things necessary is the work
ing out OF the presidents idea of a
new form Of government for the ter
ritory Il is not necessary that 1t be
/ converted into statehood at once. But
it is certain that the long-Tange regu-
lation It is receiving now from Wash
ington is not the sort of government
it most needs.

Projecting Champ Clark.

II Mr.. Bryan prompted Theodore N.
Bell to launch Champ Clark's presi-
dental boom at that Baltimore love
feast, as is being inferred, he may
have been a bit pTecipitate. But per-
haps the NebTaskan felt that this
might be one way of compromising for
his own absence, thus being present in
spirit il not in person" II should be
notice enough to the conservatives not
to make the egregious error of reckon
ing without their host when they come
to lay their plans for the battle next
year.
The premature announcement by
Mr. Bryan's intimate friend is particu-
larly interesting as showing Mr..
Bryan's vacillation between the two
Missourians, Folk and Clark. Folk, of
course, is not in power and has to
his record a defeat for the senate,
while Clark is on the high wave of
success, so far as office-holding goes.
AS speaker of the house, he will be-
come the nominal leader OF his party.
1t is not strange, therefore, though
quite interesting, to find Mr.. Bryan
casting his lot for Clark There was
never any doubt of BTyan's preference
for a western man. 1t will be remem-
bered that he voted for Cockrell of
Missouri in the 1904 convention. The
rehabiitators OF the party, therefore,
have their cue so far as Mr. Bryan is
concerned and should govern them
selves accordingly.

So Mr. Markctman. you sought my eager,
trusting heart
Aud yet with an your burning signs, you
only PLAYED part.
You told me butter was so scarce because
the cows wcte mad
Because they did not get the kind Of grass
they always had,
And then again the price was up-that
time to me YOU said
The cows were holding back the milk, from
being overfed.
And believed you. Oh / harkcd to you
with perfect trust.
But now | read OF corners that are all
about to bust.
You looked at me with earnest eyes. YOU
said the price OF eggs
Was high because the early frost had
nipped the chickens legs
And furthermore YOU pointed out how war
scares had produced
A feeling Of timdity wherever chickens
roost
You took me to one side and talked in
whispers soft and low
And told me things which YOU declared no
other one should know.
You said that eggs We're going up and but
ter still would rise
Because the Japanese had learned to fash
ion custard pies;
You vowed to me all solemnly that earth
quakes here and there
Had broken all the eggs that we're assem-
bled everywhere.
| don't recall all that you said nor think
I only know your fancy is a marvel when
turned loose
The hens were on vacation, and the cows
mad all caught cold,
Were but the feeblest efforts OF the won
drous things you told.
Yet, still, l must admire you, Mr.. Market
Munchausen never had the least thing on
you, any day.

Politeness by Law.

The Missouri legislature proposes a
measure filming railway agents from
$25 to $50 for not answering civil
questions. That is new and novel
idea. The suffering public had prob
ably despaired OF ever redressing its
grievance against the naughty railway
agent, but here is a way out so simple
and direct, one wonders il was not
thought of long ago. Now, let a rail
way agent fail to answer the next
woman who asks him II the train stops
head-end first, II he dare. 1t would
only take a few refusals to eat some
thing OF a hole into the pay check of
the average agent, That question, then
may be regarded as settled, solved
But proceeding to the next, why
should this law not be applied to
others in various lines of public SER
vice? Why not the street car men, the
bank clerks. the fellows who hide be-
hind the box office at theaters apd
even the autoerats that gas and tele-
phone and electric light companies
send to make repairs in homes-why
not include these, too? When a gas
man refuses to tell you whether he
can smell the gas escaping when il is

OLD SUBJECT IN NEW LIGHT.
One of the stock Objections to the
Parcels Post.
OleVelaud plain Dealer

Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The president of Brazil has signed the
convention establishing a parcels post with
the United States. Here is progress. When
one wants to send bulky mail to South
America 1t is important that he be allowed
to do so at a reasonable rate. OF course,
not many OF us have very frequent occa-
sion to send large mail packages to Brazil.
On the other hand, most Of us desire now
and then to send bulky mail from one point
to another within the limits of the United
States.
One Of the standard excuses for refusing
to give the people this concession has been
that the country merchant would suffer by
such an innovation and the big mail order
houses would profit at his expense. But
here is a country merchant from New
England writing the Saturday Evening
Post:
My experience in competing with mail
order houses leads me to think that a par
cells post system would be a benefit to me
rather than an injury. Quite often, II
one OF my customers could buy from a mail
order house some small article that struck
his fancy and have the article delivered
cheaply by post that would be the extent
OF his mail order purchase. But he does
not want to pay high express charges on
the article, so he and his neighbors will
pore over the catalogue and pick out
enough goods to make a freight shipment.
The result is that the mail order house
instead Of selling five pounds sells 100
pounds more"
This is new light on an old subject. Per-
haps, after all, we have been more tender
of country merchants than they would care
TO have ms had they better understood the
circumstance
Al any rate the experimental parcels posi-
measure which the president and the post
master general recommend is well worth
trying Experience may teach as a lot
that theorizing overlooks.
