Grandpa Minnow was the biggest

The st. Johnsbury Caledonian is
dealing some very effective blows for
court reform in Vermont. We are GER
tainly paying too much money for our
department of justice, and the increase
in expenses in this direction is not
commensurate with the service that
we are getting. Some of our strong
lawyers might do a helpful service by
insisting upon housekeeping, but we
are inclined to believe that if any
important change or improvement is
made within the next few years it must
be forced by the newspapers and the
laymen.

You don t hear talk in Massachu-
setts and New Hampshire about repeal
ing the laws which compel lights to be
displayed at night on all kinds of We
hieles in which people ride on the pub
lie highways. Vermont ought to have
such law. The main argument of
the legislature against such measure
in the last session of the legislature
was that it would involve an expense
for farmers. The expense would be
small compared to the value from an
insurance standpoint which the lantern
on hOrse-drawn vehicle would give.

SANE OUTLOOK

North Dakotans will be interested
in the current number of "The Ham
iltonian,' the official organ OF the
Hamilton Club, because of a particu-
larly timely article from the pen OF
Norman B. Black, Grand Forks, on
Sane Outlook of Presidential Flee
ton
Mr.. Black believes that party har-
mOny is the first essential to victory
and the lack Of it will mean certain
defeat. He cautions the Republican
party not to bank too much upon the
dissentions within the Democratic
party. While these may smooth the
path to victory, Mr.. Black sees real
menace to Republican success if the
campaign is centered around them.
To quote:
I'VE may expect to see the Demo
Gratis enter this campaign united and
determined OWN, and with all the
conditions such as to make victory
desirable. -
"If this view is correct, as Lmost
sincerely believe that it is, those
who predict an easy Republican vic
tory are deluding themselves. Under
no possible circumstances can Repub-
dican success be easily achieved.
THE situation demands clear think
ing and wise leadership. The pros
poets are excellent But the spirit
OF. sfactionalism would jeopardize ev,
erything that has been accomplished

timistic view than Mr.. Black as tC

"NATIvES" AND IMMIGRANTS.

Uncle Joe Cannon scored notably in
his speech on the Burnett immigra-
ton bill. 1t was an old Americans
plea for the newcomer, and 4 chal-
lenge to the hidebound ''nativist,"
who, shut up in his false pride OF
ancestry can recognize no possibl-
ity of new and valuable contribu-
tons to our national life.
How many of us can trace our
lineage back to the first American
families? asks Mr.. Cannon. He has
been trying to find the native ele-
ment in our population by studying
a list prepared in the year 1890, CIV
ing all the important family names
in the nation, that then numbered
100000 people. He finds in that list
less than one-third of the names of
the present members of congress-
and yet, he says, who will deny that
these congressman have American
names?"
He indicates something of the loss
our business, science, literature and
art would have suffered had the first
Congress of the United States enacted
such legislation as this and closed the
ports to the alien immigrant" He
finds in the 1890 citizenship list no
Agassiz, Hartman, Havemeyer, or
Mackay, no Astor, Belmont, Lorillard
or Letter, no Gompers or Morrison,
no Billy Sunday or Mary Pickford
no Funston or Pershing-not even a
Roosevelt.
The argument need not be carried
too far. 1t is well to be a little strict.
er in admitting immigrants, to pre-
vent our being deluged with the hu.
man wreckage of the present war.
But it is probably better even to let
a few incompetents slip in than to
bar men and women of good morals
and sound health, who only lack the
ability to read. That defect is soon
remedied. And If it had been a dis
qualification during the past century
1t would probably have barred the
ancestors of half the Americans now
clamoring for such prohibition.
