IMMIGRATION

Our present immigration law is an
improvement on former conditions
but many question whether it will
afford the needed protection against
the dumping of aliens on our shores
For there were. for the year ending
June 80, 1921. so5.22S immigrants
landed here and Notwithstanding all
the earnest Americanization work
that was being at that time carried
on in this country only lcs.5so filed
papers of citizenship.
Manifestiy the large number OF
those now seeking this country are
not coming here with a view to be-
coming citizens but to escape the
trials Of bearing the burden of re-
construction in the countries from
which they come. This is not the type
OF immigrant needed here. A feature
under the present law that Is favor
able. however, is noticeable in
crease In the number coming from
the North of Europe who are able to
assimilate and the decrease in the
number from the south east of
Europe and those countries with
language. customs and laws alien to
those Of America.

RUMsELLING IN BAY STATE
The licensing board of Massachu

The licensing board OF MaSsachu-
sets asks that places which sell soft
drinks be required to take out Ii
cense. The board declares these
places contribute greatly to drunken
ness. Arrests for drunkenness in
creased from $50 in July, 1919 to 200
for July, 1921. The board states that it
is convinced "the conduct of these
soft drink places is partly responsible
for the increase of drunkenness in
this CITY," But Notwithstanding this
the number of arrests for drunken
ness averages only about fifty per
cent of what they were before prohi-
bition.
The board finds a great increase in
the consumption of diluted alcohol
and moonshine. These connections
need to be tempered for most palates
and this is easily done in the soft
drink places. The inference that
these places encourage drinking fol-
lows logically.
In that state the authorities have
more this year in the way of sam
pies of illicit liquors to show for their
activities than ever before. For the
year ending November 80, 1881 sam
pies were received by the state de-
partment of public health, and of
these 1923 came from Boston. 1t was
a variegated assortment and not one
that would tempt those accustomed
to good" liquor or to none. 1t is not
probable that the number of those
who seek exhilaration by these pois-
ons will increase in number; the
death rate must be too high.

Porto Rico Not
in Rebellion, Says
Islands Senate Head

Washington, Dec. 13-Porto Rico is
not planning to "sccode" from the
United States and her political lead
ers are not dictators or plotters seek
ing to undermine the authority of the
Federal government, says Antonio r.
Barcelo, President of the island Sem
ate, speaking for the Porto NRican
Commission in Washington. of which
he is member, in Il public statement
here in answer to recent charges by
members of the administration of
Governor E. Mont Reilly.
"One of the reasons advanced by
Governor Reilly in justification for his
hostility toward the majority party"
says the statement, sis that the very
predominance of that party in the
island is such as to exercise a perni-
cious influence upon all efforts for
good government; and that its leader
Mr.. Barcelo, has developed into die
tator who is using his great power to
thwart the beneficent efforts Of the
governor.
1.-THE members of the commission
that has been sent to Washington
from Porto Rico to prefer charges
looking to the removal of the govern
or unanimously refute this charge.
They claim that the Unionist party is
primarily patriotic league. In its
ranks are to be found both conserya-
tive and radical elements who find a
common meeting ground in the par
tvs ideal of self government. They
claim it will enable their people to
prove their capacity for government
and at the same time to assume all
the obligations that so with the ex-
ercise of government.
"Such patriotic organization they
claim has naturally obtained the sup.
port of the great majority of self-re-
specting and patriotic islanders. This
has been repeatedly shown by their
overwhelming + victories whenever
they have appealed to the verdict of
the ballot. The Commission on the
other hand characterize the mem
bership of the minor political parties
which oppose the Unionsts as being
divided into two classes; first those
who would be content to see Porto
Rico play a servile part, and second
ly. those. who by bowling to a strong
power centered in the governor
would be willing to surrender the
public control of the island if they
would be benefited thereby.
Under the terms of the Organic
Act as presently amended" con-
tinues the statement, "it must be ap-
parent that If anything approaching
a dictatorship exists on the island il
arises from the acts of the governor
himself and small circle of politi-
clans who have been directing his
policy. 1t is ridiculous to accuse the

leader. OF dictatorship for they have.

great and truly constructive work IN
the social and economic reforms they
have placed upon the statute BOOKS.
There are few states in the union
that would lay claim to a higher
standard than that displayed by the
island legislature. This may be veri-
fed by the annual report of the gov
ernor which is in turn made part
of the annual report of the Secretary
of War to the President.
'sThe powers of the governor as
provided under the Foraker Act, in
many respects, have been preserved
in the Act of 1917. The general su.
pervision of public affairs is still
vested in him; he has the power to
remove appointees and he enjoys an
almost absolute veto power over the
acts of the legislature. With such
power wisely exercised, an able and
diplomatic governor could we'll leave
to the other branches of the govern
ment the exercise of powers granted
them by the Organic Act, allowing
them the exercise and development of
their own initiative and limiting him.
self to preventing any abuse of pow
er. This is the proper way of as
sisting the people to prepare them
selves for seif-government, otherwise,
if the governor arrogates to himself
all powers, he will destroy the incen-
tive of the people to participate in
public affairs
Referring to the fire on the steam
ship Tan1ne, which brought Govern
or Reilly and his party to New York
on November. 81. the statement said
that the charge that the blaze was of
incendiary origin "betrays such bad
faith that it speaks for itself"

There will be another drill on
Tuesday. this time under the
auspices of the committee on cour-

ence. And then on Saturday after
noon will come the drill in aid Of
the Army Relief Society.
This is an annual-and always

ways it will be the most interesting
Of the three. Mrs. Harding is ex-
pected to attend. Lots of important
official personages will be present.
and, of course, the army contingent
will turn out in force.
THE drill will, as usual. be fol-
lowed by a tea dance in the
administration building. which
promises much in the way Of amuse-
ment. The Third Cavalry Band will
play. The decorations will be
artistic and a delicious tea will be
served. In addition homemade cakes
and candies will be sold. as well as
nosegays donated by the florists of
the city. A large attendance is ex-
pected.
The Army Relief Society was
organized in 1899 and its work Is to

officers and soldiers. Such interest
