The immigration Problem.

one OF the most important ques-
mons 10 come up before the next SEES
sion of the legislature will be the ques-
ton of immigration. Now that we
are having some respite from the ex-
cessiye immigration which We had be-
fore the war it seems that we might
draw a long breath and make some
really effective laws. We find many
who urge drastic laws that will all but
prohibit the European from coming to
our shores But these people do not
realize the really important part which
immigrant labor plays in our indust-
rial success The immigrant alone is
fitted to do the rough labor which in
most cases American workmen win
not do However it seems that some
distinction might be made between
admission and naturalization You
allow many people 10 come into your
house which you might not care to
have in your family. Laws regulating
naturalization should be made very
strict. knowledge of our language
should be one essential for no one can
understand our customs or think our
thoughts who does not speak our ton
gue. 4 good knowledge of our insti-
tutons and government should be ex-
acted and all of the ceremonies of nat
uralizatlon should be impressive.
iou cannot expect the stranger to
have a very high ideal Of the value of
his American citizenship when it is
handed to him by American citizens
who show plainly by their manner
that they viii be glad when the whole
thing is over with. A great improve
ment might be made Ia the way of
examining the immigrants. Instead
OF waiting until they are over here
and then putting undesirable candi-
dates or ourselves to the expense of
the return trip, it seems we might
work ont plan whereby examina-
tious could be held at all the principle
ports of embarkation II this were
worked ont efficiently it would do a.
way with much expense and disap-
poIntment for the immigrants. As
We said in The beginning, this prom
ises to be very pressing question in
'he near future and il will be inter
estlng to see how it is worked out.

The Yellow World.

It is easy to see why China's I'M
perial color is yellow, writes cor
respondent from Yangste river. Her
rivers are yellow, her long plains are
yellow-especially in famine year
such as this, and as for her seas-the
boundaries Of her world-so desert
yellow is their color that "a string Of
-camels crossing them would look. more
in keeping than a. string of junks.
And so one can; understand why the
very heart of the heart of China, the
Imperial city, should lie like a SHIN
mering lake Of golden tiles within her
lotus-besieged walls. Even against the
evidence Of my own eyes I cannot be-
lieve that the Great Wall is built Of
solid ordinary stones laid one upon the
other. Rather it seems moulded out
Of the stuff Of which the mountains
themselves were made, long ago when

according to J. B. Suttor, commercial

bankers have expressed themselves, as
obliged to create some activity in re-

Something unusual has been accom-
plished in the completion of the en-
trance to the Southwest museum, in
Los Angeles. The building Is stu
ated on, high hill and until recently
it has been necessary for pedestrians
to make a long and labOrious climb
up the hill to reach the main entrance
Now, however, the climb has been OBJ
waited by an artistic as we'll as prac-
teal improvement. A tunnel, 224
feet long, was bored into the hill and
ended in q large octagonal waiting

of the automatic type. The elevator
makes a climb of 1OS feet, delivering
