STRAIN AT A GNAT AND SWAL'
 LOW A CAMEL

Suspension of immigration is pro ment in the United States. What shall it profit the American wage earner to prevent the entry into the United States of the European wage earner, while permitting the admis- sion under -protectice tariff law, of commodities produced by the alien wage earner in his own country? If the American wage earner is to be brought into direct, unprotected com petition with the European wage earner, is it better that this should be through the importation of the pro duct, or of the person, of the foreign worker? The displacement of the product of the American wage earner through foreign importations has eX- actly the same effect in the creation of unemployment as the entry at our ports of the person of the alien toller and his family With this difference, that under the foreign standards of wages and living the competition of the article made abroad is more dead ly than is the competition of the worker living in the United States, and becoming here a producer Of American made articles. Those lead CTS of American labor who are sup porters of the Demicratic tariff pol icy are inconsistent in protesting against foreign immigration less in furious by far in it's effects on Amer ican employment than unequalized foreign importations.

STANDING ALONE

The fact that the United States is the one great power of the world which has not entered the League of Nations up to the present time is talk en to be serious reflection upon this country by some of the prologue pro pagandists. It is also the one great power in the world which is not out to grab all it can and keep all it gets, as proved by the record. The American republic stood alone among the great powers in opposing the par tion of the indemnity assessed and not Boxer rebellion. It stood alone among them in returning to China that DOT ton of the indemnity assessed not actually used in paying claims for damages actually sustained. The United States is used to standing alone, and is not afraid to stand alone, just so long as it is standing for the right.

RESTRICTING IMMIGRATION

It seems more than probable that congress will pass the immigration restriction law. The bill as it stands at the present time prohibits inn migration to the United States for one year except for blood relatives of those in the country of alien birth who have become citizens of the coun- try or who have taken out their first papers preliminary to naturalization. In view of the evidence that has been presented to congress the measure should pass. However, desirable inn migrants are always national as- set Many of the people who come here as immigrants are useful arti- sans and craftsmen, men who bring with them talent and skill and knowl- edge that are very helpful. The more of such people who come, if they come in the right spirit, the better it will be. But there must be restriction of immigration. It is estimated that 15,- e00,000 people of Europe want to come to the United States as fast as they can be brought here. It would neither be good for this country nor for the millions who would come to permit them to be dumped into the country without work for them to do or place to go. By restricting immi- grafton to the needs of the country both America and Europe and the restless people themselves would be enefitted.-Juneau Empire.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

Should the coal fields and oil fields of Alaska be developed to their full est extent, it may, and probably will mean that all Pacific boats plying between the Pacific coast cities of the United States and Canada and the best freight producing sections of the orient-Japan and Siberia-will be routed via Alaska That all such boats will make stops both going east and west for fuel supplies. Such an ad- vent will mean big cities and tremen- dous prosperity for Alaska And such an event is much more probable than possible.-Nome Nugget.

There is more poison in the tongue woman
 Than in a years output Of a Tennessee moonshiner. A missing rattlesnake beside Is as harmless as a sore-eyed kitten And more generous; For he at least warns Before he strikes, But she spews forth her slime Shamlessly in the public places And then hides, or if she is caught, Denies.
 And all her days are bitter And her words a mockery.

RING OUT THE OLD
 RING IN THE NEW

And now we hear the tong bell, That sounds the Old Years dying kne And safe within the fleeing past It's good and evil will be cast, To oft return, in future hour, Brought by retentive memory's power. And what the New Year, ere it's close May have in store, no mortal knows But if all men were good and true, And would their Christian duty do, The world would seem to hear again 'Sweet peace on earth, good will to men!' Then all could shout, the whole world through, 'Ring out the Old Ring in the New!'' Oh think of those bound down by sorrow, Now long ing for some glad tomorrow To tighten up the heavy load, That they must bear upon life s road, Who journey on from day to day, Along life s cold and rugged way, Still longing, as they onward tread, For deeds undone words unsaid, Though friendly smile or kindly hand Two things at every ones command Would help to soothe the gnawing pain, Or break the links of sorrows chain. So Christian friends your duty do- Ring out the Old! Ring in the New! Within a learned land like this Some think that ignorance is bliss, While ruthless hands and scheming fools Make rule ruin their vicious tools; With no respect for God or man, Destructive methods are their plan; Not using reason for defense, Resort they to fools violence; Imaginary wrongs they'd right By scnseless torch or q ynamte. Oh, rulers of our mighty land, Check this vile scourge with firmer hand! Then tranquil peace will come in lieu Ring out the Od Ring in the New! Bear this in mind what er'er befall, The hand Divine rules over all. And when we greet the glad New Year, With all it's joyi and social cheer, Let each resolve his best to give, That this old world may better live And as we go but once this way, Let's shed sweet sunshines golden ray, And bring good cheer to hearts bowed down By adversity s cold, sullen frown. Then when the sands of life are run, We'll hear the welcome, "We, we'll done! Come, reap the joys prepared for you!' Ring out the Old! Ring i'll the New!

THINGS WE THINK .
Things Others Think and What We Think of the Things Others Think.

The high roads of evil are covered with tracks.
 A lions roar induces respect, but you are no lion
 Lives of great men all remind us we should never have a past.
 The best interior decorations are growing boys-and they never strike.
 Some people play politics but most of them that get anywhere work at it.
 The most foolish love is love of a dollar. A dollar can't love back; peo- pie can.
 There is such thing as hard luck but people who do things refuse to believe it.
 About the only persons who are really overworked are the mothers of large families.
 For while assumed dignity will cover up ignorance but finally it just makes regular folks laugh.
 Everybody has right to his own opinion but he hasn't the right to keep airing it all the time. trying to look like a real one that he doesn't have much time to act like one
 The only exercise a certain class of fourf flushers gets is holding a con- versation over the heads of the au dience.
 Who remembers when eight dollars month was considered about the right rent to pay for a fair cottage in a small town?
 A beautiful thought for today: If you put off until tomorrow that which you should do today, maybe there won't be any tomorrow and you wont have to do it at all!

THREE TRA|NMEN
HURT IN WRECK
FREIGHTS MET IN HEAD-ON
COLLISION AT SPECHT'S
FERRY SUNDAY NIGHT.

Two Chicago, Milwaukee and st
Paul freight trains collided, head-on
about two miles north Of Specht's
Ferry at 10:45 Sunday night and three
men were badly injured. They are:
John O'Toole, engineer. Burned
about face and hands by escaping
steam; jagged wound on forehead be-
tween eyes. O,Toole also inhaled
steam and is threatened with pneu-
monia.
Louis Dissell, fireman. Left leg
badly crushed. right leg cut and
bruised below the knee; nose cut alb
raslons about the body.
Erwin Thompson, brakeman, right
side OF head and right hip injured;
nose badly cut.
All three men suffered from expos
ure. They were brought down the
river to Dubuque, a distance Of about
fifteen miles, in a launch and were
thoroughly chilled before they were
rushed to the hospital in an ambulance.
Buried Under Coal
Engineer O'Toole, who is apparent
~ the most seriously injured, was
buried under coal from the tender for
more than two hours. Steam escap-
Ing from the locomotive prevented
his rescue
All three men live in DUBUQUE and
are married. O,Toole's home is at
3O37 Jackson st; Thompson lives at
93 Twenty second street, and Dissell
at 1927 Garfield avenue.
Railroad officials say that the col
Hslon was caused either by conflict
IN or misunderstanding of orders
and by fog which prevented the en-
glneers of both trains from seeing any
great distance ahead.
The trains met with such terrific
force that both locomotives and twenty
live cars were piled up in heap and
practically demolished, many of them
beyond repair. No livestock was killed
but two carloads of dressed chickens
were strewn along the track, which
was torn up for a distance of approx
mately two hundred feet.
One Crew Escapes.
The three injured men were men,
Eers of the crew of train No. 66. south
bound, in charge of conductor r. w.
Luke. By some freak of fate. the
crew of train No. So, north bound, es-
capped injury. The latter train was in
charge of conductor o. E. Dana and
Engineer V. ]. WEIGH
The wreck occurred at an out of
the way place, two miles from the
nearest railroad station and telegraph
office, with the result that much time
was lost in obtaining help. Several
trainmen gave first aid to the injured,
then walked back in the dark to
Specht's Ferry.
Frantic efforts were made to dig
O'Toole out from under the coal which
slid from the tender and buried him,
but the clouds of boiling hot steam
pouring from the engine proved too
great an obstacle. Rescuers gave him
up as dead and were surprised 40 find
him alive when they finally removed
the coal
Wrecking Crews Called.
Wrecking crews were made up at
the Dubuque shops and were busy
clearing up the wreakage and repair
ing the track all day Monday A
heavy rain slowed UP the work to
some extent.
Railroad officials say that a thor
ough investigation will be made for
the purpose of definately ascertaining
the placing of the blame for the
wreck.
