Too Much of a Bad Thing.

When a fellow buys an automobile
he expects to secure some pleasure
from it's use.
But the fear of theft is a continual
burden on his mind. He never knows
what morning he will find his garage
empty, or when his car will be gifted
on the street.
That is because our laws arc not
adequate and our courts are in many
cases too lenient.
Automobile thievery has multiplied
at an astonishing rate, and few of the
crooks are ever brought to justice.
Even when caught they ere too fire.
quently let off with nominal fine.
What we need is law making it a
penitentiary offense to steal GER, and
with a generous reward to any person
furnishing information that leads to
the apprehension and conviction of an
offender.
Between the reward and the pen the
lucrative occupation Of stealing cars
would not appeal so strongly to the
gentry who are now working it to
perfection.-Red Wing Eagle.

The immigration Problem.

The suggestion of Senator Sterling
Of South Dakota that immigration
laws be suspended completely may
not be the best course, but it will
strike popular, thoughtful chord.
That the situation, as it Is and as it
may be, is calculated to excite alarm
and is not without danger, is the
opinion of those who have Joined Sem
Iator Sterling in a study Of conditions.
"Until we can enact laws that will
give us the right not only to select
our immigrants but also to distribute
them according to the country's
needs" he suggests, it might be we'll
to stop immigration entirely.
At this time the air is filled with
rumors of European plans to dump
millions of people into the United
States, not merely undesirables, but
positively objectionables. It is pro-
posed to load upon us two hateful
classes people their own countries
are anxious to be rid of and organized
and schooled bands Of bolshcvist prop
agandists. America wants neither
brand and should adopt energetic and
drastic measures to keep up the bars
against them.
A percentage of the stories may be
accepted as exaggerations, but enough
of them is true to make American
vigilance advisable. New York news
papers print accounts, cabled from
Europe, of organized schemes to start
something like 100000 immigrants
from Germany and Italy, where they
have been assembled from other quar-
tiers. They are said to be composed
largely of undesirables recruited from
criminal and ararchistic classes, some
of item deliberately exploited and
others organized for sinister political
purposes. There must be modicum
of truth in such formidable mass Of
reports.
It is conceded our immigration code
cries for revision. If this mess of
European off-scourings has chance
of admission to the United States no
further proof of the incompetency of
our laws is necessary. It would be
better to close and bolt the doors at
Ellis Island than to incur any chance.

Spoiled Silage Menace to Stock.

The season for opening the silo and
beginning with the silage feeding is at
hand. There is always layer Of half
a foot or little more Of badly nodded
and spoiled silage on the top that had
better be taken to the manure pile or
put somewhere out Of reach Of the
stock, as this spoiled silage might
cause some trouble. This is especially
true in feeding the -silage to horses.
Only good, sound silage should ever
be fed to horses and then only in linn
tied quantities. A little nodded silage
is not likely to prove harmful to cat
tie. Silage feeds best to cattle and
sheep when fed in bunk or Manager in
the barn or in a protected shed. Where
grain is being fed it can we'll be spread
over the silage after the silage has
been placed in the feed hunks.

Appeal for Starving Chinese.

St. Paul, November 3O.-Governor
Burnquist today issued the following
appeal for the relief of the starving
people of the five provinces Of north
ern China:
"The five provinces of northern
China, Chill, Shantung, Honem, Shau-
sa and Shensi, are in the grip of what
is said to be the most devastating
famine in the worlds history. Be-
tween 4O,OOO,O0O and 45,OOO,O0O peo-
pie are affected. It is the greatest
tragedy facing humanity today and in
dications are that, the suffering will
continue with increasing loss of life
until next summer. China herself is
helpless. America is practically the
only country that can furnish any re-
lief.
"The. Christian Herald of New York
city, which has three times in the last
two decades organized China famine
funds, has again undertaken the task
Of raising a relief fund.- This work
has the endorsement Of President Will
son, Secretary of State Colby and the
American Red Cross. The state de-
partment will transmit money by
cable to American diplomatic and con-
sular officers in China, where the fund

nominational committee already orga-
nized.

Many people are taking advantage

That Odious Primary Law.
At last the people of this state are
getting their eyes opened to the fact
that the present primary law is a joke
and farce. The primary law may be
beautiful thing in theory, but it Ger
tainly isn't worth boot when it
comes to practicability. 1t must either
be amended or repealed. We believe
that the primary idea should be
abandoned in it's entirety. This gov
eminent was planned to be run by par
ties. It can't be run by individuals,
and the primary makes for Individual
ism as against parties. We want to
get back to the days of the convention.
We want to place every official in the
state, from governor to coroner, on a
party basis. We have become exceed
ingly weary of this lily white, touch

tics. Let's get back to the good old

A MENACEC AND PUBLIC NUISANCE

When sheer partisanship drives civic body or
municipal organizations Of men to try to interrupt
legitimate business on which an important part of
the commercial life of city depends it is time to call
a halt Agitation against existing and successful
business institutions is about the cheapest and siest
form OF activity known. Bryan did it for genera
ton-what has he Accomplishment" Nogales DaiIv
Herald
Because an existing, successful institution has
become public nuisance is reason why it should
be permitted to remain in place where it has become
a nuisance. Agitation for abatement of nuisances
has occurred time and again, and when once started
such agitation continues until abatement is accom-
pished.
prohibition OF the liquor traffic is case in point
That had become a most colossal nuisance In the
middle of the Nineteenth Century people began 70
perceive what nuisance it and agitation aginst
1t commenced Can the Herald instance anv more
successful business institution than was that same
liquor traffic? Yet that agitation continued tho
liquor traffic was over thrown and now those who
are engaged therein have to do is surreptitouslv bv
stealth and if caught they are punished as crimr,.s
The one instance cited as a complete reply to the
Jbe at Bryan. He was potent force in abatement
OF the liquor traffic nuisance.
Demand for removal of the lumber wards is not
an agitation against successful and existing nstitu

LidnaS Says.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1e.-They are
still hunting for the source Of the home
brew yarn" at the Internal Revenue
Bureau. Commissioner Williams still is
unable 10 find and record Of new home
brew ruling.
The status Of home brewing. it was
authoritatively stated, is the same as
when the Volstead law was enacted. The
only change officially made since its en-
actment has been to tell enforcement Of
hcers that while home brewing is tech
nically Illegal, yet to construe "liberally"
all provisions relating to the making
within the home Of wines and beers that
are in fact nOn-aleoholic.
That's where home brew stands today.
Home brewing, with no purpose to manu-
facture for sale, is not to be disturbed
by enforcement agencies.
The bureau for the present will con-
Germ itself only u tn the fragrant prac-
tice of some concerns In exploiting and
advertising that certain mixtures can be
used in the making Of intoxicating bey-
erages. This covers home brew formulas
sold along with compounds. But no eff
fort has been, or will be made, to re-
strict the sale Of tfhe brewing ingredi-
ents sold separately.
