state are depriving the public Of from
three to twelve per cent of the articles
purchased.

closed that almost sixty per cent Of
the coal weights are short, butter is

NEW POTENTIAL IN WEST.

Some far-reaching plans are being laid at Washington for the rehabilita- ton of wounded and sick soldiers, but the plans of some enterprising Vest erners go much further. says Phila- dcphia Bulletin. They propose to de- velop irrigation to an eT'"nt never be- fore even contemplated, and, by i'm pounding practically all the water in the far West, make 1t do duty in agriculture and at the same time fur nish light, heat and power to con- munities as yet unborn. Taking only the actual surveys, it is declared that millions of acres of waste land can be redeemed on which returning sol diers are expected to settle. Realizing that many young men. from the cities will have had taste of Open-air life which will lead them to farm. 1t is proposed to have the country ready made for the returning bnttaliOns. The sums proposed are not large compared with attainable results already demon- strated. We have become so used to thinking in billions that few hun dred millions now seem of no conse- quence, although formerly we stood ashast at such suggestion. The far Western people declare that with na- tional aid they can make all the deserts blossom, can secure light, heat, and power sufficient for unlimited manu- facturing, and can help pay the war debt.

Undesirable Foreigners

Seattle newspapers say that the strike in that city was engineered by seven men, five of whom are foreigners. They could not have succeeded without the active or passive aid of thousands of Amer- cans. Since when has 1t become necessary for Americans to ask Russians to show them how to ob- tain redress for actual or supposed wrongs? It is incumbent on the workingmen of Seattle, if they have any pride in their country and Tn its ability to manage its own affairs, to send these foreigners packing and to put none but Americans on guard over their affairs.
 There has been much discussion about immigration, but there is need for emigration of these alien meddiers in American affairs. Il the law does not cover their case, Congress can change it. There IS need also of more rigid precaution against the entrance of such men. The world is full of men who roam around in the secret pay of hostile nations to create disturbance or such pretenses as were made tor the Seattle strike Other nations protect themselves by requiring foreigners to obtain passports, showing who they are, whence they come and on what business they come. That system is needed in this country during these toublous times. Under it an administrative officer could refuse admission to rowing propagandlsts without risk of their being pulled through the net by court procedure.
 The refuge for the oppressed theory about admission of aliens has been overworked. The present emergency proves that there is now danger of the American people being oppressed by these refugees.

England Is beginning to recognize the importance of intellectual train- ing for Il growing democracy. says New Republic. A new law will abOl- ish all exemptions from school attend ance until the completion of the four tcenth year, with power granted to local authorities to raise the age to fifteen. Pupils will only be permitted to enter or leave at stated periods in the year. A rigorous system of school attendance will be accomplished by street Limitations on the labor of chil- dren during their attendance in the elementary school. The elementary school curriculum of the future will be less bookish and more practical thun hitherto and will be better articu- lated with the higher schools. For those pupils who cannot pass on to a secondary school, more advanced courses will be provided in the last two years of the elementary school period.
