when he spread elocution along the Platte. From

Again when he burned us at the stake of imperial.

pie grape juice a7d invited as TO have a good time.
And again, again and again. But always the same.
His paramounts have never paramounted. Always

1t is a fine thing to advance. 1t Ia even finer to

Labor and Immigration

WASHINGTON is once more wrestling with the
w immigration problem The employers Of var.
ious sections of the country are complaining of
labor shortage, and although they have been warn
ed against pressing any dauand for liberalization
OF restrictive features of the immigration Law, the
upward tendency in wages, which may cause an
other rise in commodity prices, powerfully rein.
forces their argument.
What congress will do In view Of the conditions
now developing is, of course, uncertain. The dispo-
sition of the average member of the federal law
making body is rather TO add to the restrictions al.
ready on the statute books. Yet the operation of
the present law, especially of the three per cent
quota provision, has yielded surprises and suggests
some change. For instance, Great Britain, Ger.
many, France and the Scandinavian countries fail
ed to send enough e~migrants to fill their respec.
tive quotas for the last fiscal year. Only 6S per
cent Of the British quota was filled, and &c per cent
Of the German. Southern and eastern European
countries filled their quotas and have been inform
ally requesting upward revision of the immigration
limit.
Opponents of such revision bring forth some cur
ious suggestions. II is said, for example, that addl.
tional British, German, French and other immi-
grants might be attracted by offering financial
aid and encouragement to desirables contemplating
emiGration but lacking the means to execute their
plans. 1t is not likely that congress would subsi.
die even the most desirable immigration.
The problem is complex and has social and civic
aspects that cannot be lightly subordinated to pure
economics. It should be studied dispassionately and
without fanaticism.

VIII Help SoIpe Problem

JULIE MOTOR truck will be the solution of MANY
= of the transportation troubles of the future.
congestion will be a thing more or less of the past
AT different times within the last decade there
have been problems, difficult ones, too, growing out
OF transportation needs. Whenever business condi.
lions become better there arc moro commodities to
go to market. There is moro to be sold but it can
nos be sold unless it gets within reach Of the ulti.
mate consumer. The retailer must depend on salts
factory transportation facilities to get his products
which his customers are very often clamorinG for.
but which he is unable to get. 1t is not infreduent
that dealers lose sales because they do not have
the product on hand.
Railroad transportation is a big question, and no
matter how well handled will at times be confront.
ed with perplexities regarding industrial transpor.
tation- Many short hauls could be well handled by
motor transportation, and in that way would re.
lieve the railroads for longer hauls. Unless there
arc enough freight cars to haul products to market.
the railroads are unable to give all the assistance
they can. When industry suddenly experiences an
improved market it is virtually impossible for
every one to he prepared. With some other trans
Portation to fall back on, not only in an emergency
period, but regularly throughout the year. trans.
po%rtation problems would be made much easier.

Henru and William

TUE PAPERS have all been having a lot to ssv
\ about Henry Aliens visit to the Follies, which
Is understood TO be a collection of the ~prettiest
dancing girls the world can provide. It is a place
In New York where all the best people seem to 90
and where they take visiting dignitaries from otli-
er parts to exhibit them Henry is not the boy to
Ehun the lime light, which is supposed to shine at
a place like the Follies. He was fresh from Kan
sas where William Allen White had got the better
OF him in a little display advertising joust relat-
ing TO n certain placard in the window of Williams
printing office at Emporia, so felt the need, ON ar,
rival In New York, of a little nourishing publicity.
That viii Rogers was called in to help is quite
natural for Henry's Wichita Eagle has ever spoken
kindly Of Wills efforts in the movies. The favor
was purely reciprocal
That Kansas is somewhat worried about her gov.
ernor, is evidenced by what the Kansas City Times
says about the matter. which follows:
kansas viii catcher its brows q little when il
reads about its governor being ON the stage with
Mr.. Ziegfeld's Follies girls, and telling 'em how
pretty they are. Kansas has heard about the Fol
lies and chorus girls in general, and probably will
decide Henry had better hurry on TO that confer
ence of governors that took him east and then
come straight home.
Anyway, the conference of governors is In White
Sulphur Springs and Kansas understands that the
Follies show is in wicked New York where unsus.
pecting and guileless westerners are frequently
lured to their destruction. Kansas has always had
the feeling that the best and safest place to hold a
conference of governors is in Topeka, but if they
must be held in the east it is strongly of the opin-
ion they ought not to be on the Follies stage.
IF it was necessary for Henry to bold a prelim.
mary conference with Will Rogers before meeting
tho governors, Kansas will wonder why in the
world Mr.. Rogers didn't go TO Henry's hotel. They
could have talked much more privately there than
on the Follies stage, where there are always a lot
of girls dashing about. Kansas can see how natural
1t would be for Henry to fall into conversation
with them, and even for him to say something nice
to them about supposing they all came from Kan
sas. That was all right and probably unavoidable,
presupposing that Henry and Mr.. Rogers couldn't
find any other place In New York to hold their CON
ference. Kansas is only too thankful that Henry
didn't have to dance with the chorus.
But knowing New York and the Follies as it
does, Kansas Is nevertheless of the opinion that
the safest place to witness the Follies is from n
seat pretty we'll back in the balcony and although
1t was no doubt all Mr.. Rogers doings, getting
Henry up on the stage under a pretense to talk to
nim' Kansas will feel that on the whole Henry had
better come home for Christmas anyway"
