A SUGGESTION FOR
 IMMIGRATION LAW

If American workingmen, union and non-union, are to be largely dis placed by foreign laborers, what, then becomes of the argument that one of the chief purposes of the pro- tective tariff policy is to maintain the high living standards of the American workers? That is a quest ion which is bothering not a few of our political and industrial students.
 Frank Morrison, secretary of the American Federation of Labor, re- gently declared to the Senate Com mittee on Immigration that his or ganization objected ito throwing the doors wide open, flooding the Amer ican labor market with cheap Flu ropean labor and denying the Amer ican worker the same protection you give his products under the tariff laws" Incidentally, if there is an American labor market" what be- comes of the declaration of the Fed eration that labor is not commod- ity?"
 The secretary of the Federation is partly right and partly wrong in his view of the immigration question. There is a decided difference be- tween the free admission of the pro- ducts of foreign labor and the unre- stricted immigration of the labor itself. The first is destructive of American industries with no com penssting features of a permanent character so far as we are concerned. The second at least has the merit of developing and extending industries here. It is better to have the goods produced here by foreign labor than to have them produced abroad by foreign labor and dumped here at the prices which put the American industries out of business. Again, the foreign laborers who are paid here, spend portion of their wages here.
 Moreover, it is highly probable that -the equanimity with which the pres ent immigration wave is viewed by some, if not actually encouraged by others, of our producers is due large ly to the vicious methods adopted by MT. Gompers, and other labor leaders, in their attempt to destroy legitimate industry. Contractual ob- legations have been repudiated to on the slightest pretext, and the Gov ernment has been coerced. By their own acts these leaders have belittled the human equation in labor and made it a commodity for which many producers find themselves compelled to SCOUT Europe
 On the other hand, there is no de nying the fact that alien nordes of undesirables which will pour into this country will surely undermine the high standards of the American workingmen. The digestive apparat- us of this nation has long been taxed to :ts utmost to assimilate its immi grants. If some system of dietary is not soon prescribed we may well fear the torments of political dYs- pepsia due to clashing racial mix lures, and ultimately a stroke of anarchistic apoplexy.
 Two suggestions have been offered with respect to proposed immigra- tion legislation, in addition to the percentage basis submitted by Sen ator Dillingham;. One is that the number of immigrants permitted to enter from any particular country be governed so far as possible by the percentage of that element of immi- grafton which over a period of, say, the five years immediately proceeding the war sought to be naturalized,

MAN-MADE Ys. ECONOMIC LAWS

During the past year this country has seen man-made laws upset by economic laws and man-made prices scattered to the four winds by the laws of supply and demand. By law we can hold prices down, but we have been unable to compel production at such prices. By law we can hold prices up, but we cannot force the public to buy. Manufacturers can increase the prices of their wares

FOUR YEARS TOO LATE

President Wilson now shows some degree of courage in dealing with the radical labor union leaders. If he had manifested little nerve in 1916 when the leaders of the four brotherhoods threatened to destroy the transportation system of the na- tion unless their demands were grant ed, many of our subsequent ills would have been avoided.

FISHERMAN GETS
CAUGHT At GAME

Deputy Sheriff Mender went
out to Dry Wood Lake Monday
and arrested q fellow by the
name of j. j. Knaak, on a charge
of seining the lake contrary to
state law, and his hearing was
set for Thursday before Justice
Prindiville.
It seems that Knaak had
been taking fish from Dry
Wood Lake all summer by
means Of a large sein, TAX
ing his catch to an island out
in the lake, cleaning and can
ming them. Then he would load
the finished product into q boat,
bring them to shore, load them
into an auto and cart them away.
It is supposed that he shipped
them. He has been living there
during the past summer in a
tent, and in answer to questions
as to what he was there for, he
simply answered that he was
camping out for the summer to
recuperate his health.
His actions. however, were
such IS to create suspicion on
the part Of certain individuals,
and q voluntary vigilance COM
mittee took upon themselves
the task Of finding out, II pos
sible, the exact nature Of his op-
erations, with the result that
Mr.. Knaak was taken in charge

Fargo, Nov. ALI the l. V.
A. initiated measures and con-
stitutional amendments were
defeated in last Fridays election
according to unofficial reports
from ID out of So counties tabu-
lated by the Courier-News last
evening. The average majority
against all these measures will
be between 5000 and 10000 ac-
cording to estimates made on
the face of available returns.
The measures ran far behind
the /. V. A. candidates in almost
every precinct reported. In Far
go the majority for the mea-
sures was about 1000 less than
the initiated measures, on the
face Of the returns 80 far obtain
ed.
Some counties that gave ma
joritis for the I. V. A. candidates
defeated the measures. Among
these is Dickey county. The nom
partisan election law which pro-
posed to abolish all party lines
in state politics appears to be
the harest hit of all as it lags be-
hind all the rest on incomplete
and unofficial returns.
The Nonpartisan League CAM
paign committee centered its at
tack on the laws and amend
ments. "Vote mo- nine times"
was the League slogan thruout
the campaign and it appears to
have been effective. The I. V. A.
conducted its campaign princi-
pally against the three officials
it sought to recall.
The fact that all the proposed
laws and constitutional amend
ments were defeated was the
subject of q great deal Of dis
cussion by political observers
yesterday afternoon. It was
pointed out by some that this in
dicates that the people Of North
Dakota are unshakably behind
the industrial program and op-
posed to any measure that they
think would curtails its opera
ton.
The Bank Of North Dakota
win have to be left alone to func-
ton as without it there would
be no depository for state funds
under the law. The state cannot
make land loans without the
Bank Of North Dakota as the
proposed rural credits measure
also is apparently defeated.

 Ashes of Great Army
 There are gathered here the ashes of a great army of those who fought in the struggle which preserved our union and ensured our high place n the community of nations. Our debt to them will never be paid, but we can come for them and for ourselves on this national commemoration day to attest our veneration and undying love. They rendered a service greater than they knew, for they saved our nation to the cause of human freedom and paved the way to that power and influence which enabled it to play its part in behalf of all mankind in the time of supreme crisis of the world. We will not over -appraise their sacri- flee If we say that had they failed their failure would have so weakened the forces of liberty and enlightenment that these would have been doomed in the more recent world trial to failure and defeat. A divided America would have been incapable of the effort that was demanded to hold our present day civilization secure. The heroic dead for whom the day was originated, pre- served the ark of the covenant Of union and nationality, and in that service they made possible the exalted place so recently won for our country Our own generation will not perform a part worthy of it's heritage if We do less than our very utmost to pre- serve that which they made possible for us to possess. Nay more, we shall not be our most and best at home, II we do not resolve for all time that the differences which brought us to civil conflict were due to antiquities in our union and the disputes between two schools of political thought, and when we made union indissoluable and the nation supreme, we left our people one flag. one purpose, one pride, and one destiny.
