IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION

The majority of Americans will no
doubt agree with Frank Morrison sec
retary of the American Federation Of
Labor, in his statement that the Ameri-
can workmen is entitled to Sustaining
employment" But it does not necessa-
rly follow that they will be in accord
with his views on the immigration prob
lem.-Oklahoman
lnasmuch as Mr.. Morrison, when he ap-
peared before the senate committee on mm-
grafton, only asked that the American work
man be given the same protection against
foreign pauper labor that the laws give Amer
ican manufacturers against foreign pauper-
made goods, it seems to us that the majority
of red-booded Americans will be fully in ac-
cord with his views upon the immigration
problem as well as in his expressed opinion
that the American workmen is entitled to sus-
tanning employment
In fact, submitting the proposition to a
thorough analysis, we cannot see how the
American laborer can be given sustaining en-
ployment (hat is, employment at living wage
scales) unless he first be given protection
from the influx of aliens, who come from
lands where respectable wages are unknown
and whose manner of living enables them to
exist and amass, in addition to that living, a
competence from salaries upon which the more
competence from salaries upon which the more
respectable American worker could not sub
sist.
Mr.. Morrison asks that the bars be put
up against all alien labor for period of not
less than two years. He suggests no reserva-
tions, he makes no exceptions. He checks the
matter TO congress and leaves it for the men,
bers of both houses of that body to say wheth-
er the man who tolls shall not receive the
same protection in his efforts that the man
receives who distributes the goods spun and
woven and evolved from the raw material
into the finished article by skilled and un-
skilled fingers.
1t is a fact which has been established
beyond mooting, that the immigration laws
of the United States have been. and are, too
lax 1t is a fact (proven by the recent World
War, when the jails and prisons of this coun-
try were filled to overflowing with disloyal-
ists) that a little more care, a little more
stringency little more putting up of the
bars would have kept hundreds of thousands
of aliens (who never could become aw-abd-
ing, God-fearing American ctizens) from off
the shores of this loyal land.
1t mas Deen proven Deyonu question:,
through the necessity of deporting hundreds
of anarchistic Reds, that little common
sense legislation in the past would have
closed our gates against these undesirables
and prevented them from ever landing here
to threaten our homes to menace our nstitu-
tions, to Scoff at our Constitution and our
flag.

EDIT FOURTH PLACE
RENTS MUST co DOWN

Landlord Galewski. who controls S2O,OOO,-
600 worth of New York real estate, has or
dered a downward revision of his rent rolls
and thus offers an excellent example to 9TH
ers in similar business Gaewski says that
his profits have been running from 20 to %
per cent, which he deems too much, and that
hereafter they will be limited to 10 per cent
Mr.. Galewski doesn't pose as philan-
thropist. He isn't. Whatever his associates
in the real estate business may think of his
procedure, the fact is that he is exercising
most excellent business sense.
The tide has turned. Rents are coming
down sooner or later along with other COM
modities. The chances are that the drop will
be later than with most, but landlord Just
as is the case in any other business, can well
afford to establish goodwill on a basis of
fair dealing and moderate profit
The tenants time will come. Landlords
who accumulate heritage of hate on a
record of profiteering will be unable to es-
cape the effects. Their houses will have a
bad name passed on from tenant to tenant
The good landlords, on the contrary will
have good name and full rent rolls.

GOETHALS FEARS
FREE TOLL BILL
Declares Passage Would
Be Highly Injurious
to America
FBv0RS 4 NEW SCHEME
Saws English Ships Now Pass
Through Canal at Lower
Rate Than Our Own

DALLAS, Texas. oct. i4.---That
the American people are playing
fast and loose with their moral OBJ
prahans in proposing to exempt by
congressional act American coast
wise vessels from tolls at the Pam
anna canal was stated today by Gen
ceorcc w. Goethals. builder OF the
canal In an address delivered be-
sore the delegates 20 the annual con-
yentlon of the Texas Chamber Of
Commerce.
Violates a Treaty.
Trdsr the terms of the Hay
pauurrfnto treaty with Great Brit
ain said General Goethals. the
sana'itv of an vessels Of all nations
nssslre through the canal Is ex-
rrssgly provided for and TO exempt
American vessels would be to vio-
lste absolutely this solemn treaty
agreement.
"As an American" said General
GoethaIs. "I am opposed TO con-
rress passing this act, and l hope
hat al, Of you feel the same way
about it.
The democratic platform m
1912. had as one Of Its planks free
canal tolls for American ships, but
when Wilson became president no
came 10 the conclusion that this
pank was In contravention OF the
treaty. and uullifled it. The same
pank was IN the republican plat
-,orn last year and / note from the
papers OF the last few DAYS that
congress is about 10 pass bill em-
bodvinr H. This would be nothing
short OF a national disgrace.
III congress does pass this bill,
II should make an appropriation for
the purpose OF paying tolls for
American ships. This will probably
he done. But Il will not help the
country any. on the other hand, II
will be harmful to the welfare OF
the country as a whole. as Il will
hurt the finances of the canal con-
sderab'y"
Britain Gets off Cheap.
General Goethals said that what
congress really ought 10 do, ana
what &c had repeatedly been urged
10 do since 1914, would he to change
the basis on which tolls are now
computed at the canal As things
are at present, he said. Great Brit

vesses. because the basis OF taxa
tion is upon net registered tonnage
and Great Britain is much more
liberal IN her allowances for de-
ductions on this basis than IL Ameri-
ca. To put American vessles on an
equality with those OF Great Britain,
he said, charges at the canal should
be on the basis of the carrying ca
pacity OF the vessel. Then our ships
would have an even break with
those Of Great Britain.
But congress has refused TO do
this, he said, although II Is the
logical constructive thing TO do,
while at the same time II has listen
ed 70 the howls of chauvinistlc
Americans and has practically de-
cded TO violate a solemn treaty by
exempting coastwise vessels from

crushed into a red. shapeless pulp.
and suddenly the meaning Of the In
strument darlington had produced
from his pocket became clear. Also
the reason Of that dreadful cry at
"By God!" whispered Drummond
half to himself, while his jaws set
like a steel wise. "A thumbscrew.
The devils . the swine . . :"
"Oh! quick, quick" the girl urged
In an agony. "They may be here at
any moment" She dragged him to
the door, and together they forced
the man into the car.
darlington WON'T" said Hugh with
a grin. And If you see him tomor-
row-don't ask after his jaw. . . .
Goodnight. Phyllis"
With a quick movement he raised
her hand to his lips; then he slipped
in the clutch and the car disappeared
down the drive.
He felt a sense Of elation and Of
triumph at having won the first round,
and as the car whirled back to Lon
don through the cool night air his
heart was singing with Joy Of action.
And It vas perhaps as well for his
peace Of mind that he did not witness
the scene In the room at The Elms.
Lexington still lay motionless on
the floor: Peterson's cigar still glowed
steadily In the darkness. It was hard
to believe that he had eve moved
from the table; only the bullet i'm
bedded In a tree proved that some
body must have got busy. OF course,
It might have been the girl, who was
Just lighting another cigarette from
the stump Of the old one.
At length Peterson spoke. "A
young man Of dash and temperament
he said ~genially. 1T will be a pity
to lose him"
"Why not keep him and lose the
girlr' yawned Irma. II think he
might amuse me-"
I'VE have always u dear Henry
to consider" answered Peterson.
Apparently the girl appeals to him.
I'm afraid, Irma. he'll have TO 60
and at once. q. . :"
The speaker was tapping his left
knee softly with his hand; ave for
that slight movement he sat as If
nothing had happened. And yet ten
minutes before a carefully planned
coup had failed at the instant of
success. Even his most fearless ac-
completes had been known to con-
TESS that Peterson's inhuman calmness
sent cold shivers down their backs.

the time his mind vas buslly working.
He had already decided that q Rolls
Royce was not the only car On the
market which could break down mys-
~teriously, and with the town so far
away, his host could hardly fail to
ask him to stop the night. And then
he had not yet quite settled how
he proposed to have a closer look at
The Elms.
At length the meal "a over. and
the maid, placing the decanter in
front OF Mr.. Benton, withdrew from
the room.

moving the stopper. and pushing the

Hugh smiled, and even as he lifted
the heavy old cut glass, he stiffened
suddenly In his chair. A cry-half
shout, half scream, and stifed at
once-had come echoing through the
open windows. With a crash the
