immigration Evils.

The Indictment Of several officials
at Ellis island, charged with graft in
admitting aliens who were barred un.
der the law, should lead to a thorough
regeneration Of the immigrant inspec-
ton service. The department. officials
here are sharply on the lookout and
are quick to eliminate dishonest Of
ficials when discovered, but it is diff
flcult to detect their operations.
The immigration laws are very COM
plicated. An overhauling of the legis-
lation and simplification of the sys-
tenn Of administration would be bene-
ticlal both to the government and the
aliens.
The senate committee has reported
IN favor of the extension Of the 3 per
cent ratio act for two years. It is a
wise proposal, for congress must pre-
pare itself for a thorough considera-
ton of the immigration question, and
1T cannot afford to have the present
bles must be kept out-that is the
first point. The country is overrun
with aliens who should not have been
admitted. They are not the stuff from
which Americans are made. They are
base material, utterly unfit to mix
with Americans. Whatever the influ
ences may be which urge laxity of the
rules, they should be rebuAfed and the
bars should remain fixed.
The tighter the fence the greater
will be the bride offered to immigrant
inspectors to evade the law. Appar-
emily this has happend at Ellis island.
The conviction of any official for vio-
latlng the law he has sworn to enforce
should be followed by extremely severe
penalty, as severe as the law will al
low. The people are hopeless when
their own officials turn traitors to

BY means Of the transcontinental

tended to San Francisco and thence
south to Los Angeles, where, by means
Of radio telephone connection, the
circuit was extended to Catalina island,
thirty miles distant in the Pacific,
Satisfactory conversation was thus
carried on between Catalina and Cuba,
a distance Of something over $500
miles. This is the greatest distance
over which commercial telephone serv-
ice has thus far been established.

Other Methods If the country re-
forms too quickly under the stimulus
Of such taxes, congress can raise the
rest Of the money by a tax on fappers,
bobbed hair, bare knees, tea parties,
dancing men, stale jokes, or hold-ups.

Judge Briscoe Declines to Oppose Mudd

The meeting of the members of

one of the largest held in recent yeal s.

some definite action would be taken
towards agreement on some Sanatorial
candidate by the organization leaders,
but the members departed as they
came-no candidate behind whom they
We're willing to unite. 1t now seems
almost certain that William |. Norris
and David j. Lewis will be left to fight
it out for the Senatorial Nomination.
Commit teemen from the Fifth dis
trict, after some objection from st.
Mary's county men. named u COMMITTEES
to call upon Judge Briscoe. The com
mittee consisted of Walter MITCHELL
and George C. beverley, Senators; Mrs.
Irving Bowie, DR.. T. w. Lnthicum
and John S. Kelly.
Judge Briscoe received the committee
at the office of his son, Philander B.
Briscoe, in the Fidelity Building.
Il am not candidate for Congress, ="
he said later 'As matters are at pres
ent, | have no intention of being a
candidate, have made my position
clear to the committee, as | wanted to
give them opportunity to secure anoth

Mr. Mattingly, of Indian Head. an
nounced his candidacy. He declared

The riGhty.fOur companies sold an.
proximately $4,000 shares Of stock

The ratio Of total stockholders 10

The growth Of electric light and

this reason. as we'll as on account OF
the falling commodity prices. nel
earnings have been satisfactory. Ir
addition to these factors. which have
made utility securities attractive.
there has been the falling price of
money and the corresponding increase
in the selling price Of securities OF

stimulus to buying.
THE past year has given us more
experience upon which to base views
