A WASTE OF TIME.

Why does the senate Of the United States
persist in fiddling away time over an immlgra-
ton bill which President Wilson, following the
precedent of Cleveland and Taft, has vetoed
once already, and which he has let it be known
he will veto again9 Mr. Wilson is unassallaply
right in condemRing the literacy test Tor I'M
migrants No more useless or futile quallnca-
ton could be imposed requisite for admls-
sion to this country.
The literacy test feature is sufficient to war
rant the death of this measure, but, aside from
and beyond this objection, the present IS no
time for setting up barriers against foreign la
Dor. From every quarter is heard the COM
plant that enough hewers of wood and draw
ers of water cannot be secured to carry on the
business of the country. To shut out willing
workers would be very poor business indeed.
Why not let the immigration question alone for
the PRESENT.

FOR FEDERAL REGULATION.

No one has stated the case for single sys-
tenn of railroad regulation in the United States
more clearly than Professor Emory r. johnson
of the University of Pennsylvania. To the
railway executives advisory committee, Profess
sor johnson. who is an economist OF high stand
ing, has expressed the opinion that, for the
benefit of the commercial interests of the coun-
try. the present many-sded system of regula-
ton should be replaced by single system. He
finds that one of the chief benefits to be de
rived from single broader plan of federal
regulation would be the extension of the best
features of present state policies to all rail
roads. and he says: 1.-The reason for desiring
the transfer of the regulation of railroad
rates. finance and services from the states to
the federal government is not that there would
be less regulation. but that regulation would
be uniform and less expensive to the railroads
and the public.'
A point to be kept in mind is that the public
paws the cost of railroad regulation. It serves
its own interest when it sees that this cost is
made as low as possible. so long there is
no Impairment of efficiency. The weight of in
formed opinion is that the efficiency Of rail
road service would be increased by doing away
with the existing double system of control.
Professor Johnson goes to the root Of the mat
ter in saying that as long as the present method
of regulation continues it will be impossible to
adjust railroad rates so that the interests of
both the roads and their patrons Will be ade-
quately protected.

"E1GHT-HoUR" LAW TEST CASE.

The supreme court of the United States will
not be hurried in the matter of the test case
brought to secure a settlement Of the question
Of the consitutionality Of the Adamson "elght-
hour law. It was hoped that this case might
be determined before January first, when the
statute becomes effective, but the court, taking
account of other important matters demanding
attention, will not hear the government and the
railroad arguments until January eighth Lltl-
CATION over the law is suspended pending a
decision, and beginning January the railroads
will keep account of wages to be paid en-
ployes in case the court declares the statute
constitutional. In these circumstances there is
no occasion for regret that the case is not to
be heard this month. The court will take its
time, and it's decision will settle questions that
were not answered when congress attempted to
remove the railroad strike menace by passing the
Adamson bill.

WOULD SOLVE MEXICAN PROBLEM.

Better than all manner Of conventions De-
tween Mexican and American commissioners OF
protocols signed by representatives OF the Two
governments is the suggestion credited to Villa
for solving the troublesome situation to the
south of u.s. That worthy is quoted as declaring :,
the intention of chasing the Americans
(meaning our soldiers) out of Mexico
Nothing could so quickly solve the Mexican
mess as violent contact between the forces OF
Pershing and Villa. Could this have been &C,
complished, matters might have been at least
improved long ago. But Pershing has been SO
bound about by red tape of all sorts-and manu-
featured on both sides of the border-that TINS
contamination has been impossible
Perhaps, at last, when Villa tires of spread
ing murder and pilage around Chihuahua City
he will head full tilt with his outlaw followers
for the American headquarters south OF Casas
Grandes. But that he will commit suicide IN
such fashion is more than improbable. Brag-
gadocio is as cheap as ever beyond the Rlo
Grande

they could astonish their fathers and mothers.
But what did the stupid, though good, doctor do
but tell them to stop stuffing themselves be-

cepts, he told them to stand up straight and
stop slouching along the streets in outlandish
attitudes; said that if they would do these
things they would live beyond the mortality
