CHINA ENTERS UPON NEW ERA.

Concrete evidence of the progressive develop
ment in China is contained in the press dis
patch stating that the famous walls of Canton,
centuries old, are to come down.
Broad roads will be built where the walls now
stand and honkng antomSbllles rMI f Mhfch de-
termined the site of the walls.
The fable has it that many centuries ago
squatters, unable to decide where to build the
wall as protection against marauders and wild
beasts, were inspired by the appearance of five
rams, and built the walls along their path. Thus
did the city get its name-Canton, ''The City of
Rams"
The walls have long been barrier to progress
and have hindered development Of the city, but
superstition, backed by strong public senti-
ment, prevented their removal.
A new spirit has made itself apparent through
out the Chinese empire and the influences which
have retarded the nation are being rapidly dis
carded.
Progressive Chinese now visiting in America
predict that within another decade their coun-
try will have taken long strides toward position
in the foremost ranks of important nations of
the world.
The walls of Canton and other cities have been
symbolical of shut-in nation. Their demolition
may open the way to new and important era of
progress.

THE ALIEN MENACE.

II That one-tenth Of the entire population of the
II United States is composed of unnaturalized
aliens Is the astounding statement Of the COM
missioner of naturalization.
II OF the 100000 aliens now in this country
barely 100000 have become citizens. A grave
menace is faced in this great unassimilated
mass. Few of the ten and one-half million have
/ any interest in or knowledge Of American insti-
buttons and in many instances, the very fact that
they have not sought citizenship indicates that
they not desirable helpful residents Of this
country. Their concentration in large industrial
centers makes Of them active agencies for the
spread of dangerous propaganda. Many among
them are agitators Of violent type and disciples
of doctrines dangerous to the future happiness
of the world
How best to deal with this alien element is
serious problem. No other government would
tolerate it, but the freedom of the United States
has made possible their unmolested existence
here.
, The naturalization bureau suggests an inten-
sive campaign to convert this multitude into
loyal American citizens. Every American citizen
is called upon to seek out his friends and &C.
quaintances Of foreign birth and prevail upon
them, If they wish to remain here, to become
citizens of the United States.
Aeprogram is now being considered for deal
ing with those who seek only the benefits with
out the responsibility Of citizenship. Those
proven to be agitators, together with those guilty
Of offenses against the laws Of the country, are
to be deported. But plan has been decided
upon for reaching the great number not subject
to deportation under existing laws.
The need for action is, however, recognized
ard is evidenced by the promptness with which
number of undesirable aliens were rounded UP
and ordered deported following the recent in
dustrial disturbances in the west
Despite the experiences with aliens during the
war and the developments of the past months, |
congress has been slow to recognize the threat |
enlng danger. However, it is now becoming |
generally recognized that speedy action must |
be taken to make the future of America secure /

INSTRUCT THE ILLITERATEs.

While the chief purpose of the Smith-Bank-
head bill is to advance the Americanization of
the foreign born population of this country, it
would be applicable as well to the thousands of
native born who are illiterate.
1t directs the Bureau of Education to cooper
ate with the several states in the education of
lliterates and aliens, and seeks to train teachers
for such work. A state, to obtain share of the
federal money, must require the instruction of
illiterate and and non-English speaking minors
more than sixteen years of age, in the English
language for at least 200 hours year. Federal
money is to be used for salaries and the train
ing of teachers only, and no part of it shall be
expended for building or equipment, or for the
support of religious or private schools.
The time has come when every person who
lieves in the United States, foreign born native
born, should learn to read and write English
The future of the country demands it.
Recent government statistics show the num-
Der of native born white illiterates in the state
of Florida to be painfully large. This state could
take no more important forward step than to
join the federal government in its attempt to
educate every illiterate.

FRIDAY. MARCH n, 1919.
ANNIVERSARY OF FAMOUS INVENTION.
No patent ever issued in the United States
has proved Of more material benefit than the
patent issued one hundred and twenty-fi years
ago today to Eli Whitney, humble genius, for
his invention of the cotton gin. In the opinion
Of Macauley. the historian, Whitney's invention
did more for the progress Of the United States
than Peter the Great did toward the development
Of Russia.
Yet the inventor Of this great agency in the
worlds progress was deprived by thief Of his
rights to his own invention, and was obliged,
after an unavailing fight to protect himself, to
turn to other pursuits to make livelihood.
Whitneys life and achievements belong to the
romance Of invention. Born on farm, he de-
veloped natural aptitude for mechanics. At
the time of the Revolution, for want of better
employment, he was earning his livelihood MAX
ing nails by hand. At this trade he earned
enough money to enter Yale College, from which
he was graduated in 1892.
Going to Georgia to secure position as tutor,
which was filled before his arrival, Whitney was
asked to reside for time on the plantation of
berry Grove, on the Savannah river. -
Here he met a number Of planters, who asked
him if he could devise some machine for cleaning
cotton. The removal Of the seeds from cotton,
which was done by hand, was such slow process
that cotton raising could not be carried on at a
profit. pound of green cotton was all that
q worker could clean in day.
Whitney knew nothing about cotton raising,
but he threw himself with ardor into the study
of the problem, and began work on machine in
. building of the Greene plantation.
In 1898 the machine was ready, and when ex-
hibited by Whitney, it delighted those who saw
it, for they realized that at last the greatest prob
lem that had faced the southern planter was
solved.
The new machine, simple arrangement of
cylinders, saws and brushes cleaned cotton at in
credible speed. Indeed, one man could clean with
it in a day more cotton than he could clean by
hand in whole season.
The machine was stored in q building on the
Greene plantation. This building was broken in
to at night, and the machine was carried off.
Whitney was stunned by the blow, but soon set
to work making another model. Before he could
secure a patent on it the stolen machine had been
duplicated a number of times, and the models
were in use on plantations.
Whitney began the manufacture of his ma
Chimes in Connecticut, and though he received a
grant of $4,000 from the state of South Caro-
lima, he spent all his means in the courts attempt
ing to protect himself against infringements.
Finally, satisfied that he should never receive
just compensation for his great invention. he
engaged in making firearms for the government.
This industry he developed on q large scale and
eventually gained fortune out of it. He APP
piled several of his own inventions to other
manufactures Of iron and steel but his fame
lives through the cotton gin which made pos
sible the present tremendous development of the
textile industry.
