WHY?

Upon receiv ,ng the news that repre- sentatives or tho American Legion arc to be barred from Ellis Island and not allowed to take lists and future addresses of immigrants, one immedi- ately asks. the question Why" Why are they not allowed to begin their American izs,tion work there?
 Acting Secretary of Labor Post is said to have given the order restrain ing American Legion men from hav- ing desk room on the Island for this purpose. It has been the intention of the Legion to look the immigrants up after the latter become settled and try to Americanize them as far as pos sible. All loyal people agree that this is work that men of the Legion are essentially fitted to do.
 Half a dozen or more organizations arc allowed to carry on their activities on the Island and. without the slight est reflection upon these bodies Of men and women. it would seem that there could bo found a place for the desks Of men of the American Legion where the first steps might be taken to reach those coming to our shores.
 Perhaps there Is no greater need in this country today than that Of teaching new prospective citizens the traditions and laws of our country. We need tho immigrant, but we need intelligence in the immigrant The American Legion is in u position to furnish the groundwork of Knowledge that the immigrant should have.
 Glasses Of men with revolutionary ideas are waiting at the waters edge to inculate their disloyal theories Tn the minds of the newcomers. All the steps that possibly can be taken to combat these influences should be en- couraged. Surely the American Legion should be encouraged. It, will do it's work because it knows its necessity. even without encouragement. But all good Americans will denouncc this action of excluding their representa- tives from Ellis Island unless the best of reasons are authoritatively given.
 Acting Secretary of Labor Post has much to explain.

MORE ABOUT PRICES.

The price of things is about as in- teresting a topic as can be broachcd today. Perhaps the price of food comes first and that of clothing second. The cost of "rents'' is a matter not worthy of dicussion as there seems to he still that lack of this formerly purchasable necessity.
 So it Is a pleasure to note that the president of the National Association of Clothiers believes that the turning point of high prices of clothing has been reached and that the descent thereof has begun. Not only is the f consumer notified of this statement Of the head of the clothiers' associa- ton. but clothing retailers are inform cd of hts opinion.
 MT. Strous. the president referred to. says that retailers have been sc anxious to reduce the cost of things that they have been selling at almost or absolutely no profit. In return foi this generosity on the part of the eIothier, he says. the public may we'll buy of and not boycott tho re- taller.
 l MT. strous says tho cost of woolens has been reduced slightly but lower wages for labor are not in sight. HC | insists the clothiers are doing all ir their power to reduce waste and t' 1 lower cost of production in every way | and he appeals to labor to increase it'
 efficiency. thereby aiding the goot
 work.
 There is some sound sense in th'
 suggestion that sudden slowing uI
 of buying stops production and there
 fore increases prices. Buy as you need
 no more. no less. Is not a bad rul
 under the present conditions in thu
 clothing trade as in others.

burglar may give either kind. No one knows what mans love may mean to woman-no one except the woman herself
 A jury may say That mans love may mean nothing to his wife-look at the things he has done" The jury may be sadly in error. Or it may say: This is a good man; he gives to char ities: he is kind to all his neiGhbors. His love must be worth a great deal to his wife.
 Bosh! The jury did not know any thing about 1t. Perhaps the greatest defect in our jury system is in its at tempts to settle such domestic ques- tions.
 The only people who can know the real facts are the man and the woman. and the real facts cannot be imparted understandingly to any jury. Those who .hold the marital relation the most sacred will not. try.

The town has felt the success of his endeavors. If he goes to Congress he will continue to work, there is no doubt of that, and his endeavors should be rewarded by the ultimate good of the district, something which we know he desires. He may know little of Congressional routine, but it will not be long before he does and his constituents will find him a worthy successor indeed to Congress- man Lonergan, who was also a worker.

FAIRBANKS TEAM

A serious attack of stage fright
took hold of small portion of the
players on the Fairbanks A. A. team
IN the second inning, which although
of only a few moments duration, was
disastrous in its results, making it
possible for the Boston Braves, the
much hel'alded Miracle Men of
1914" TO win an easy victory over the
fast st. Johnsbury aggregation in
the present season, which was put on
before a record crowd of "dyed-in
the-wool' fans at the Campus Tues
day afternoon. Barring the one bad
session that came in the early part
of the contest, the battle was fairly
even on both sides, with the "Bean

their less experienced opponents.
After turning out fine brand of
weather for the past week or more,
with the exception of one rain storm,
the weather man switched himself
right around and did his dulndest to
put the kibosh on the big game. In

order TO put forth their best energies,

the style of weather that was best
fitting to the football artist. 1t was
