Chasing the Rainbow.

STIS strange it's passing strange; it's pitful,
i tbs wond'rous pitiful that I28 Maryland
families should leave that State for the Far West
to take up farm lands and engage in agriculture.
1t shows the power of the lure Of clever advertising
and glib-tongued salesmanship. The West has
nothing of substance to offer, which Maryland can
not give in equal greater to their ntell-
gent industry
Maryland is in the center of the market. Its
land producers are, nearly possible, nde-
pendent Of railroad rates The soil is fruitful and
all about is scenic beauty We do not know what
any one could wish to grow, which cannot have a
bountifu yield in Maryland. 1t is the natural
habitat of orchard and small fruits. 1t is famed
for its head lettuce. celery and other vegetables 1t
should grow the melons marketed in its cities,
and in Washington
Its lands cheap in the West, especially
il the cost of transportation to the West is
reckoned. Then, too, if these I2S families had
settled in their own State they would not have had
to make new home under changed conditions,
with strange laws, markets and methods of agricul-
ture. Nor will they find anywhere such a system
of highways as in Maryland, permitting co-opera-
tive marketing and all the advantages of easy social
communication.
Agriculture of every kind and everywhere, de-
mands hard work. This is rule without excep-
tions. Nowhere will grains and fruits and vegeta-
bles grow and gather themselves. Everywhere the
results in profits show in balance with the labor
and intelligence which invested day after day.

measure of hard work and thought required is
everywhere the for the crops Of the location;
only richness of soil affects the balance while this
is often Offset by markets, or chcapncss of fer
tilizers. Every soil needs something to balance
some want.
1t is useless for those Of the East to go West
those of the West to East to find agricul-
tural opportunity. 1t is all about them. The end
of the rainbow is just at their door, with its pot of
gold, if they will dig for it. Without digging they
can find it nowhere; with digging, they find it

soil for flourishing growth in his
natural racial heritage of an innate
and unquenchable love Of liberty
and freedom, within the laws of God

Public opinion is always interest

the attention Of The Herald, not by the victims.
but by others in the service Some of these present
conditions Of hardship that are quite pitiable.
There are instances of men who have been long
in the service, who have families and who have
been able to for such situation. Few Of
the older employees have any surplus. Government
salaries with constantly mounting prices, have
been conducive to thrift, but not to that portion

These men may be Democrats but that, in
itself. is neither crime badge of inefficency.
They have come to middle age when it is hard to
learn "new tricks They cannot readily turn to
other employment, nor is it easy to find any other.
They may have been at fault in not diversifyng
their talents but this is the tendency of Federal
ployment. Some of those marked for dismissal
have resources beyond their salaries and face

house their families even provide their food.
1t would seem that this readjustment of office
forces should not be left to bureau chiefs alone and
certainly not to politics Those who have been no.

their immediate superors who will remain in charge
and are human, if not wholly humane. 1t would
seem that this readustment might better be left to
the Civil Service Commission in consultation with
bureau chiefs. This would avoid any marked in
justice and would but bring in an agency whose

Defends Soviet Russia.
To the Editor, The Washington Herald:

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
I observe that you have much to
say about the status Of Soviet Rus
sia- You have at frequent inter-
walls during the last two or three
years predicted the speedy collapse
OF the Soviet government" and nos
you have gotten over that non
sense and are telling us Of the eco
nomic collapse" and the economic
downfall" of Lenin, etc.
Really don't you know that you
are not only utterly mistaken In
the premises today, as you were
yesterday. but that you are trying
to tell us that those people (who
are the only Christian people in the
world) who have not asked us for
help since the war began in 1910,
are now asking that aid?
You know that Lenin and his
i5e,e0o.o00 white associate Musco-
vites are completely independent OF
us and do not care what we think
or do in the premises. What Is your
reason for giving US these idle
polemics on the Russian question.

concerned forever. unless we our
selves open negotiations with Soviet
Russia?

The Washington public has re-
Gently been given a vivid demon
stration Of the type of injustice that
often results in lynching and riot
Those two negroes. Dixon and Cous-
ms, would doubtless have been lynch
ed or electrocuted had not such
strong alibis been produced. II is
hardly conceivable that the confess
sions claimed to have been obtained
from the l3-year-old Queen girl and
the young boy Cousins could have
been gotten except through some
horrible methods of third degree
and duress.
In the face of most incontro-
vertible testimony of many reput-
able white men and women, the
public must realize that something
Is radically wrong with a police
system that wrings sbominably false
confessions and that creates dis
torted testimony to cause the muir
der Of innocent human beings by
the State. Had the newspapers in
some sections of the country report
ed these confessions as they were
given out by the detective who
claimed to have obtained them, an
other blot upon our civilization
might have been made.
Until negroes are represented on
the bench and as officers OF the law

House Approves Bill
To Admit 10000 Aliens

The House yesterday approved
admission of 10000 aliens, who
reached the United States a few
days after the new immigration law
went into effect, by passing the
johnson resolution. The vote was
III to 10.
Opponents of the measure charged
that the House immigration Com
mittee was seeking to relieve the
steamship companies of the finan-
cial burden of caring for the aliens
until they could be admitted under
the new immigration law.
The resolution was called up by
