Keen Out Undesira BILE Aliens !!

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The Burnett immigration bill has
been again reported 20 Congress favorably,
and az new and far more complex conditions
ss 70 our alien population have arisen since
the last Congress further discussion If the
subject seems most necessary.
We may not be overcrowded as TO land
area. but we are overcrowded in certain To-
calities with alien ideas. newspapers and
habits OF thought quite foreign to our Amerl-
can institutions and ideals. This bill, IL
nassed. will do a vast deal to keep out that
tyne Of immigrant which is undesirable as
having a lower standard OF living and small
desire to remain permanently in the country.
The census Of 1890 showed that 2O.6 per
cent OF foreign born white criminals were
illterate. and 61.2 per cent OF white criminals,
both parents foreign born. were illiterate,
and surely any statute which would exclude
from % 10 so per cent Of the potentially
criminal ought 20 be Of great national and
economic benefit.
And especially would such law AID US

Of the immigrant unfit chiefly falls. lwen-

institutions in 1913 not including idiots, I'M
bcc,les or feeble minded were aliens II
seems unfair that this state should be obliged
70 assume alone the heavy financial burden
which the care OF these alien insane entails.
As one who has appeared often IN print in
favor OF proper restriction of immigration,
feel proud to recall the words o. Dr. Jere-
n.iah ~. jerks, one Of our foremost pub

The Case of the Lie.

Schopenhauer once said in a moment of
evaporation that the prevailing habit of
mind among his countrymen was obtusc-
ness and want of thinking. One is in
clined at times 10 believe that this obser-
walton was not wholly unjust. for when
the German comes TO mediate upon his
own woes in the war his imagination
ceases to work, he apparently loses all
power of reasoning and is prodigiously
shocked to find that his evil ways occasion
ally bring suffering 10 himself as well as
others.
The Baralong case was one instance;
another is the case OF the airship LIE.
Some Zeppelins have been flying amuck
over England, creating panic and deStruc-
ton without measure or discrimination.
More than two hundred incendiary bombs
were thrown in the last raid and fifty
four persons. mostly non-combatants were

other. one airship CHANGED TO be wrecked
in the North Sea. 4 trawler approached
and was eagerly hailed by the unfortunate
Germans. who. with all their hate shaken
out Of them, implored the English skipper
TO save their lives. promising TO DO him no
harm if only he would carry them to a
place of safety. The skipper, seeing that
the men were armed and easily outnum-
bered his own crew. declined to take the
risk. and left them 20 their fate.
The "Nossische Zeitung" speaks Of this
incident as "a stain on the shield of
Britannia" and the "Lokal Anzeiger" says
it "dscloses the brutality Of the British
character Such censure might be justi-
fed if Germany had earned any title 70

Brows, Low and High.

We all know what a highbrOw IS, but
there seems to be some divergence of view
regarding the lowbrow. DR.. David Starr
Jordan has Just explained that lowbrow
is only one degree removed from rough
neck. but at first this will seem rather
more confusing than enightening, since
many of us have been accustomed TO using
the two terms, roughneck and lowhrow, in
terchangeably. The good doctor even re-
fers to a large class of undergraduates as
lowbrows, and roughnecks, VIC know, never
go to college; they scorn the very sugges-
ton with an abysmal contempt.
1t is only too evident that most of US
have been classifying our brothers with
4 lack of particularly amounting slmos5
to looseness. We have been calling those
lowbrows who were simply rOughnecks, and
we have been confusing social with intel
lectual opprobrium. If Dr.. Jordan'S codi-
fcation of these epithets be accepted, the
lowbrow need suffer under no social disa
bility. lie may simply be too practical,
while the highbrow is mot practical
enough" In other words, the lowbrow is
he who is given to the purely objective and
concrete view of things. He has a fond
ness for the immediate business in hand
he prefers football to philosophy, the mar
ket place to the library.
But if there are too many lowbrows in
college, so there are too many highbrows
( One highbrow is one too many, if for H.
other reason than because he is breeder
of lowbrows. Nothing makes one low
brow SO quickly as living with highbrow
And perhaps it works the other way
round. also; but since becoming a high
I brow is the more conscious reaction OF
tie two. it should be the more easily con
trolled. We should suggest that, whether
in college or out, the highbrows meet the
n lowbrows half way and abolish forever the
need of frontal measurement.
