To Exclude Aliens
In Enumeration for
Congressional Representation

An amendment to the Federal Con-
the National House of Representa-
tives dependent upon citizenship and
not upon population is the national
program adopted by the"Allicd Cit
liens of America, incorporated to up
hold American ideals and the Unit
ed States Constitution" A congress
sional sponsor who will introduce the
resolution for such an amendment in
the near future has already been Sc
cured.
Having in less than two years en-
rolled some 100000 covenanted mem
bers in. New York State, organized
by localities and counties, and es-
tablished the balance of power be-
TWEEN New York City and the up
state portion of the commonwealth
on enforcement issues. the "Allied
Citizens" has adopted this national
issue Of fundamental America
activity throughout the country.
William H. Anderson, president of
the ALLIED Citizens" said: There is
ample precedent for the proposed ac-
ton. The New York State Consti-
tuition in providing for enumeration
for representation in the popular
branch of the general assembly uses
the words excluding Aliens No
question is raised with the South by
this proposition because the negroes
are not aliens. 1t does not touch
either immigration or naturalization
laws. 1t merely proposes that if any
person who comes to this country
wants to be represented in Congress
he must become citizen.
1.-THE attorney general of New York
testified before the judiciary COM
mittee of the United States Senate
that there are at least one million
people in New York City alone who
are opposed to all government. Most
of these are aliens and yet there are
represented in Congress by more
than two congressman nominated,
elected and controlled by Tammany,
gree by the corrupt city ring In every
large city in the country.
1T is outrageous that not merely
unassimilated aliens but enemies who
seek the destruction of the govern
inent shall have just as much voice
in Congress as the same number of
native born Americans or persons of
foreign birth or extraction who have
become American citizens. We are
confident that the growing acuteness
of the immigration question will
baStpnN raCOpnitiOn of tho fairness Of
this proposal and compel its adoption
in the not distant future"

NEW YEARS MESSAGE
OF BISHOP LAWRENCE

Boston. Jan. "A tribute to Card
inal Gibbons and warning to re.
formers to cope with present day
problems IN n practical and humble
fashion were contained in the New
Years message delivered by Bishop
William Lawrence, Episcopal, OF the
diocese of massachusetts, today at St
Paul.s Cathedral
The idea that Supreme Christians
must be puritanical and supremely
serious, antagonizing and stirring up
things, is wrong" said Bishop Law.
renee. Christ won his way full Of
truth and grace. Let us work out cur
Christian problems in humble, imper-
sonal acts.
I'VE ali want the nations of the
earth to sit around a table and end
their disputes in friendly discussion
Yet the League of Nations enthusiast
pulls her skirts TO one side as She
passes the poor colored woman in the
street car aisles.
The. reformer and those who are
striking strong blows should remember
that it was through Christs grace and
winsomeness that he won so many
hearts,"
Referring to the serious illness O.
Cardinal Gibbons, the bishop said:
He represents great Christian
church and has been consistent
spokesman for his church Throughout
years of great problems in both ma
t.onal and international affairs. He has
always been full of grace and truth
He has dwelt among the people and
earned their high regard and affection
Should he pass to the Beyond, he will
always live in our memory as man Of
grace and TRUTH

POOR BUSINESS
IN. FOUR METAL
MINING STATES


Washington. Jan. 2-Preliminary fig
ures on metal mining for 1920 in Cali
fornia. New Mexico. South Dakota and
Texas were announced tonight by the
geological survey and show that the
metal mining industry generally was
depressed IN those states during the
year
The output of California mines for
1920 and the comparison with 1919 fol-
low:
Gold, $13, 923, co., a decrease of .35s.
Silver, 1855. $50 fine ounces, an increase
of 431,471 fine ounces; copper 500
pounds: decrease of S,I91.6T pounds;
lead 5,071,6 pounds, decrease of l.
5O3. $50 pounds, and zinc. 800 pounds,
an increase of 1,0s9,O29 pounds.
New Mexico mines produced last
year $4,000 in gold. 10000 ounces of
silver, 100000 pounds of lead $4,000 600
pounds of copper and 11.Sl0,O00 pounds
of zinc. These figures represent as COM
pared with 1919 a decrease of $4,000 for
gold, 5000 ounces Of silver and $4,000
ounces of lead, but an increase of g.
600, 900 pounds copper and 3,Si0,0CO pounds
of zinc.
Gold production in South Dakota in
1920 was 81, 1855, 600 compared with s., S62, $50
the previous year, and silver produc-
ton in that state amounted to $3.50
ounces against 115,522 ounces in 1919
Texas last year produced $4,000 ounces
of silver and small quantities of gold
lead and copper.
1.-THE outstanding and unprecedent-
ed feature of metal mining in Cali
afornia in 1920" the survey said, twas
the closing down of a great number
of the largest gold and copper mines
and the conditions generally have
been decidedly adverse, particularly
in the mother lode region, where
some of the mines that we're once
among the largest in the state have
stopped work, several of them per-
manently. Another feature of the
year was the restriction of the sup
ply of power by hydro electric COM
panies in the fall. which affected the
deep mines of all classes as we'll as
the dredging companies. For lack of
this usual power some mines had to
close altogether and others were
compelled to restrict output. When
the first fall rains commenced the
supply Of power was at once re-
stored. The hardships suffered by
the gold miners in the foothills and
mountain countries have partly de-
populated towns and camps and even
counties. Numerous mines are be-
ing allowed to fill with water and
some reduction plants have been vir-
tually abandoned. Without the
dredging industry of California, gold
mining in the state would be at a
very low ebb, for the adverse condi-
tions have more generally affected
lode mining than placer mining"

ANNUAL LIVESTOCK
MARKET REPORT

Brighton, Mass, Jan. 1-ConditiOns
in the livestock market during the
past year have been more normal
than at any time since the beginning
of the war. Prices during the first
half of the year ruled high and held
fairly steady, only fuctuating from
time to time by 1-2G1 cent per
pound. The trade was somewhat
hampered by the scarcity of stock in
the country which had been heavily
drawn upon during the war period,
the effects of which will be felt in
the country for several years,
especially in the supply of heavy
beef steers and oxen, as young stock
has been marketed freely. Aside
from this deficiency of we'll matured
stock the market has been prosper
Gus and profits good. In the last of
June, however. n gradual decline be-
gan, developing to a sharp break for
lower prices during the past two
months.
Receipts of livestock at Boston
show quite a decrease in amount,
with the exception of those of sheep
and lambs which were heavier by
about $4,000 head, than in the year
1919. Since the decline in prices the
decrease has been more noticeable,
with the receipts of the last three
weeks of the year the lightest in
supplies received from New England
states for Il long, time.
Railroads conditions which we're
seriously affected in the beginning
of the year by car shortage, and by
the unusual severity of the cold
weather and the frequency of the
heavy snow storms, now show some
improvement in the arrival of the
stock trains at the yards
The shipments of good beef cattle
have averaged light during the year.
with only a very few really fancy
cattle offered. For these the high
est prices were received in February
when choice steers and oxen sold at
l5c per h.. while in the year of 1919
the top quotation reached IS cents.
The low price of the year 1920 for
choice steers and oxen was made in
December when good cattle sold at
collie, which is the lowest prices for
tne same class OF STOCK since 1916.
Good steers and oxen of average
quality sold at 13c high and SC low.
Heavy fancy beef cows were in mod
crate supply throughout the year and
the demand was unusually active.
They sold at 10 1-2@12 lac high
and 7@Sc low.
Good average COWS sold at s 1-261O
1-2c high and safe low. with poor cows
at Gas 1-2c high and 3-4d5c low. Bull
beef sold more evenly than any other
class, quoting at 7GtlO 1-2c per H. stead

the close of the year when they sold

Chic State Coach
Praises California Team

Los Angeles. Jan. 2-Grant T.
Ward, head line coach for the foot
ball team of Ohio State University
in a newspaper article today said.
Beaten at their own game This
aptly expresses the result of the
California Ohio State New Years
Day fray.
THE Golden Bears sprang a diver
sified attack that was not only more
varied. but also had more punch
than that exhibited by the Buckeyes
The Golden Bears possessed every
thing that good football team could
have. including every variety of the
forward passing attack. superb in
reference on end runs and line
thatcould open up holes for short
line plunges.
1T is doubtful if any team could
have defeated California the way
they played today. Probably the en-
tire affair could be summed up in
the words the best team won and
the hats Of Ohio are off to the Cali
fornia eleven"

Wireless Phone
Experiment Explains
"InyiSible Choir"

Champaign, Ills, Jan. 2--The mys-
terry of an invisible choir which has
stirred the congregation of a Paxton.
Ills, Lutheran church was solved
today when it became known that
Clarence Lundeen, 1S-year-old
student, had been experimenting
with a wireless telephone.
.Lundeen connected photograph
with wireless sending set in his
workshop. Then he transmitted the
music to a large horn connected with
an amplifler which was concealed in
tree just outside the church.
The church was in direct line with
the sound from the horn and for this
reason the concert seemed directly
above the congregation. For several
days the phantom music" has been
the talk of the town.
