New Rules for Immigrants.

Bolshevist or anarchist. or fred" or what

deletcd, II would be great boon 70 the
country. In the absence Of these detetc'vc
measures, we have in the past admitted
many Lcnines and Trotskys in embryo, in
fact, this country has been the propaga-
ton ground for some Of the most malevo-
vent radicals the worftl has had to deal
with.
II matters less whether immigrants
bring "cootics" into the country with
them than If they come 10 make use OF our
liberal laws and our leniency to hatch out

cur TO some Of our Statesmen that there
must be check ON the Immigration 10

only who are not the type Of firebrands who

News from al European pcrts shows
that steamers carrying steernge passen-

welcomes all people who comply with our
small restrictions, immigration s reaching

the United States accept only that class
that have something TO offer IN exchange
for the opportunities presented for pro
ductive labor.
If we might discriminate IN the seiec-

should favor those aliens who would en-

needed in the country, and IT would seem
only Just and right that VIC pick for sdrnis-
sion those who have some experience IN
agriculture and would be willing TO engage
in farming here OF course, we have no call
to dcnosninate the kind Of work an alien
may engage IN after hie entry, but we
probably might make some sort ct sclec-
tion such as would place them where they
arc rncst needed and prevent their further
congestion Of the bug centef~ Of populations
until our cities have become more Euro
pean than American.
But if we mvet have them indiscrimi-
natefv, LET us insist that they leave their
"cooties" at home and enter our gates
with a clean bill Of health.

TWO OF A KIND IN GEORGIA.

Having nominated Thomas r.. Watson
for United States Senator, the Democrats
OF Georgia ere perfectly logical In naming
Thomas W. Harding for governor. Both
Of these candidates were oppose d 70 the
war and resisted conscription. and bo th
arr hostile 10 the League Of Nations.
IL was while Mr.. Hardwink WAS Sena-
tor from Georgia inlai7 that he introduced
bill forbid ding the use of the \ .nnal
Guard and drafted men abroad, cas-
ure which the Committee on Mat airy
Affairs said would place tho country
IN extreme peril at time when all should
be united in common cause" and would
"disorganize the American army, leave
The nation powerless and make Il the
laughing stock Of the world. MIR. Watson's =
activities in the same direction werr
80 pronounced that the povernpscnt
found it necessary To suppress his asws-
paper.
The spirit manifest ed by the people Of
Georgia in selecting tw o such men for their
highest political honors reveals itself in
that and adjacent States IN the form Of
ncendiary fires designed 10 prevent the
marketing of cotton at prevailing prices.

of tho staple were destroyed the merchants
had ignored orders 20 discontinue ship
ments until cotton sold at 40 cents a pound

lection of armed guards.
II WAS tactics of this kin d that Messrs.
Watson and Hardwiok broug ht 70 bear
upon the United States government when
il was IN conflict with autocraoy. The sup
port that they now give to the position
taken by the Republican party against
the League OF Nations ought 10 be fatal
to all concerned, but, in contradiction
of the Senate committee on military
affairs, Il is called 100 per cent. Ameri-

The people will not long continue r.
attend baseball gnrnes II they have
my doubt ~ 70 the honesty n the players.
Tho vast nlrns Of money which they now
contribute to the maintcnancc of baseball
will fade away into nothing unIew the
owners Of the clubs, with tho corporation
Of tho playcrr, take steps which they
alone can take To keep the conduct Of
honesty.
In the estimation Of too many good
people the sovereign remedy for every
political or social evil seems 70 be 70
pars law. What the community rally
nocds in regard to baseball and anything
clsr that happens TO bc temporarily under
suspicion is not new law but old fas h,oned

Just Folks
BY Edgar A. Gust.
HIS PHILOSOPHY.

Don't want 10 complain, ton much,
When I'm put tD sorrows touch
Or am weighted down with care
Reckon | must have my share,
Things cant always 70 my way.
Now an then there comes day
When IL secms the Fates arc all
Dnvin' me against the wall
KILN every Joy I'd clutch,
But | nevrr gr,imble much.
Don't know Any rraeon why
Care should always pass me bv;
Others grievc and others weep.
Lose the Joys they want 10 keep,
Others have To stand 10 care,
An the burdens / must bear
Are not any bigger than
Jho~e that como To every man,
So i reckon ] should be
Patitnt when mine come to me.
Pattcnt' that's the very wordi
When your soul by grief u stsrred.

sqarccly know what next to do,
Jfs' be patient BY an by
God viii sort o. clear tho sky

Seems that when I've stood in doubt,
God har always helped me ont.

Lord, ! fancy, I've not met
Nalf life's disappointment yet;

Ike what everybody knows,
But when ] run down CARES list
/ here's a lot that ] have rlisscd;
Maybe my shares really small
When you come TO count IL all

Governor Townsen

Governor Townsend cannot see his
way clear" to the appointment of far
price commissioner OF course not, for
while it might be move in the direction of
materially benehting our people by bring
ing about lower prices, it might also
bother the Republican party. So the
matter will have to 60 over until after the
election. The Republican party has no re-
gard for the interests Of the people where
,tr own partisan interests are concerned.

1T is FUNNY.

1t is funny to hear that win Hays
will allow Cox IL States, and every
thing else is going to Harding with o
Landslide, when the Republican candi-
date no sooner gets home from one trip
than he finds it necessary to start right
off again.
That landslide is not formidable enough
TO keep him at home. He wasn't going to
leave his front porch, but the effect of
Governor Cox's speaking tour was such
that Senator Harding had to take to the
road and now he has got to make a second
trip. In the meanwhile Hays is at the
pump trying to keep up an appearance of
n tidal wave.--Philadelphia Record

"Straw votes" it is said, indicate the
election of Harding Certainly. That is
waai they are for. -Four years ago they
positively indicated the election Of Hughes,

RIPPLTNG RHYMES.
BY Walt Mason.
THE FAT SUFPERER

Ths fat man x,ckens and lika the
dicksns his tortured system feels,
he has the gIandsrs and yallcr
jxnders and gout in both his heels.
When convalcscent, his woes senes-
cent, he'd like to tell the tale Of
ailments gaudy that racked his
body, and make his hearers pale.
He's fain be spelling his blood con-
gealing pain epic by the week; but
none viii listen, no teardrope glisten
on sympathetic check. And when
be pauses, for any causes, he hears
some horse-laugh sounds; hia yarn
seems yellow, for he's a fellow who
weighs two hundred pounds. He
may have verses from docs and
nurses 20 prove diseases three; II
doesn't matter-the man is fatter
than sick folk ought TO be. We grin
and simper when we would whim-
per his dolcful sickbed tunes; we
mark bis figure snd snort and snig-
ger and say he's full Of prunes. If
he were slender, with pity tender
we'd mix our tears with his; we'd
hear him twitter Of ordeals bitter,
aud sigh, and say Gee whizp Butz
he is fatter than any halter or
plumber in the town; so when
he'd babble and idly gable, we
promptly turn him down.
