permanent policy on immigration. In
this they are yielding to the opinion
of representatives of certain classes
Of employers, including the railroad,
steel and coal people, who told. the
committee that the threatened "fiOOd
if immigrants from Europe" is a
myth, and that there is no emergency
warranting the passage of the Johnson
measure.
Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor told the
committee that the federatiOn's de-
mand was for straight-Out protection
from alien labor for a period of two
years He said that reports just re-
ceived from labor officials in 141 cities
showed the total number of unem-
ployed in these places to be 1.S19.372,
and said he would not "dare estimate
what the total Of all cities would
show"
Figures were submitted by Mr.. Nor
rison showing the unemployed in
Greater New York to be 100000; De-
troit, 10000; Philadelphia, 235,0OO;
Chicago, 100000; Cleveland, 11S,0OO;
st. Louis, 10000; Boston, $4,000; Mil
waukee, 10000; San Francisco, $4,000;
Seattle, 1900, and Pittsburgh. 10000.
In contrast to this, he showed, the net

be 784,00O a year.
Avowedly in order to set an ex-
ample of economy and democratic
simplicity. Mr.. Harding last week
caused to be Cancelled all the arrange
ments for an elaborate ceremony on
the occasion of his Inauguration March
A. At his request the citizens commit
tee called off the celebration it had
planned and also the ball, and the
joint congressional committee agreed
that there shall be nothing doing ex-
cept the administration of the oath
to the President-elect and the delivery
of his address, probably from the east
porch Of the capitol. This course nat
urally has peeved the business men
and hotel keepers of Washington, but
everyone else In the country heartily
commends 1t.
Mr.. Harding's conferences with
prominent men are about over. Very
soon he will leave Marion for Florida,
where he will write his inaugural and
presumably finish making up his mind
as to his cabinet. Concerning the lat
ter, it was interesting If not pleasant
to read last week that the hyphenated
German-Americans, newly organized
into league, were virtually to ask
Mr.. Harding to give a place in the
cabinet to a German-American.> A
committee was selected tc carry to
Marion a list of men from which the
President-elect might make choice.
The avowed desire of the new league
to create an era of good feeling at
home and abroad would meet with
greater sympathy if it did not insist
on the German" and if it were not

They always greeted each other.

In the general acceptance of the

boro may be sad to be "a town without
history" That may be true in the sense
that it played no important part in the
Colonial period of this country, or in the
Revolutions and was opposed to the foun-
dation of the state of Vermont. Yet in
another sense it certainly is not true, and
Mis-, Cabot herself proves it. Her Annals

Detroit Free Press-If well begun Is

Providence Journal The sacrifice

ment so precise that it leaves little to
