EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
IMMIGRATION PROBLEMS.
(From the Washington POST

The commissioner general of immigration is
meeting with some real problems in his plan for
enforcing the immigration restriction law which
becomes effective on June 3d. He is finding that
it will prove rather difficult to administer the
act by which congress has undertaken partly to
close the gates of the United States to aliens by
admitting only a stated number of immigrants
somewhat resemble that of a street car conductor
in fighting off mob of waiting passengers after
the is filled.
Under the provisions of the law the immgra-
ton from each country is limited to a number
equal to per cent of its nationals who were in
the United States when the 1910 census was TAKEN
Not more than 20 per cent of each country's quota
in during any single month. Consequent
ly it may be at glance what a task con-
fronts the immigration officials in administering
the law
After the quota of country has been filled the
bars be put up by consular officers at the
ports of embarkation, immigrants will arrive
here only to find the gates closed against them
for the time being. Entrance of immigrants through
Canada also presents separate problem since
they must be charged against their native coun-
tries and not against Canada. These and a hun
dred other vexing questions will doubt arise
in connection with the enforcement of the new law
1t is anticipated that there Will be rush from
the countries of southern Europe and that each
month their quotas will be filled quickly, but
may not be swift There is point how
ever, in favor of the law-it is better to per-
init the entry of 100000 immigrants with present
unemployment widespread, than to let in three
four times that many. For. 1t cannot. be denied
that every alien arriving in the United States
is the potential competitor of some American work.

As the People View It
Married school Teachers.

Albuquerque. N. NJ.
May l9, 1921.
Editor of the Morning Journal,
Albuquerque, N. M.
MY dear Mr.. Magee:
win you please give space In
your paper in order that some of
the facts may be brought to the
voters of the county concerning the
case of our public school teachers?
Do you know that by placing the
ban on married women in the
county schools that it removes the
most efficient teachers? Most of
them are principals who have had
years of experience. two hold a life
certificate, which is higher grade
than the certificate held by the
county superintendent. Is it eff
ficiency our county officials are
looking for or is it politics? We
all know that politics should be
kept out of our schools but during
the past few months politics has
played a more important part in
our educational system of this
county than the kinds of teachers
Passing the buck" to the coun-
ty board does not excuse our super
a6 the board is generally
governed by the opinion of the
perintendent.
Thanking you for the courtesy of
allowing me to express my opinion.

Yours very truly, a

away he ran, crying;
Il won't nibble any ears today!"
Thank you for saving me,
Jiggle Bugs" said Uncle Wig
gily, and the two green and yell
low insects said they We're glad
they could do the bunny a favor.
Then they kept on practicing their
1iggle trick and Mr.. Longears
hoped away, very glad of his
adventure.
So if the trolley car doesn't
chase the wheelbarrow around the
corner and make it bump into
the lamp post, I'll tell you next
about Uncle Wiggily and the

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
JIGGIE BUGS.
BY Howard y, CARTS,

Once upon a time, as Uncle
Wiggily was HOPPING through
the woods, wishing he and his
pink nose might have an adven-
ture together. all of a sudden,
the bunny rabbit gentleman heard
a voice saying: -
Now, it's my turnW ~
THAT may be Lulu and Alice
Wibblewobble, the duck girls,
taking turns jumping rope"
thought Uncle Wiggily. But still
/ had better look through the
bushes before | go too close 1t
might-mind, I'm not saying for
sure-but it might be the old
Pipsisewah or Skeezicks."
So the bunny rabbit gentleman
looked through the bushes, and
he was very glad when he saw
two little green and yellow bugs,
about as large as rubber balls
standing on their hind legs.

of the bugs, and as Uncle Wig

and yellow bug toss the other
green and yellow bug some little
white stones from the edge Of
the brook.
And, as true as I'm telling you,
the second green and yellow bug
began tossing those white stones
up in the air, three or four at a
time, and catching them when
they came down, tossing them
up again, throwing them side
ways, curving them under his
legs and doing all manner of
tricks with those stones.
'Ha! This is very queerm cried
Uncle Wiggily out loud, before
he thought.

and green bugs, as they dropped
the white stones Lets runn'
Don't be afraid" laughed the
bunny gentleman, coming from
behind the bush.

one bug to the other. Then they
didn't run away any more. ss
But who are your" asked Mr..
Longears, as he took off his pink,
twinkling nose and sat down on
a stump--Oh, listen to me, would
