WHY CALIFORNIA?

1t is not quite clear at this distance just why
California has been chosen by Mills, Dorman, and
the rest OF the precious group of Socialists who lived
for some time off the farmers of North Dakota as
the scene of their most recent activities in the Or
ganization OF a state under the banner of the Non
partisan league.
California is an important producer of foods,
but her grain production is but a small part of the
total. 1t is possible that in the matter of grain
marketing there is no greater degree Of corpora
ton among the farmers than there is elsewhere.
But, assuming that the California farmers are, so
little tconyersant with what has been going, on
around them as to become involved in the meshes
Of a net such as that which entangled the farmers
OF North Dakota, the organization of the California
grain growers would go but a short distance toward
obtaining control of the state.
In the fruit industry the California producers
are very thoroughly organized on an independently
cooperative basis. 1t is improbable that the people
who have spent years in the building of the largest
and most successful cooperative system in exist
ence on this continent, who experimental with CO.
operative plans year after year, and expended labor
and money in the discovery and elimination of the
defects which characterized their early efforts unit
they achieved a plan. which actually worked, will
welcome the notion of abandoning that which they
have created for the wild schemes of Missionaries
who can point to no single instance in which their
plans have been successful.
In the cities of California labor is pretty thor
oughly organized. eNonpartisan league leaders
have hirted with organized labor here and there.
But there is less chance of getting organized labor
and farm proprietorship together on the same plat
form in 4 class war in California than in a state
where neither agriculture nor labor is we'll organic
ed. ~ "E.
Perhaps the most rational explanation of the
present activities of the Socialists on the coast is
that they find the climate and surroundings to their
liking; that tourist travel insures a pretty general
circulation of actual and visible cash; and that re-
CARELESS of the political future of their movement,
the pickings promise to be fairly good in California
for some time.

PENALTY NOT A M

1t is charged that in the controversy between
New York garment workers and their employees,
which has been marked by a strike, the trouble was
'precipitated by the act of the employers in violating
written agreements into which they had entered
with the employees. AS a result of their inactivity
during the strike the employees have, in the aggre-
gate, lost several million dollars in wages. 1t is
proposed to bring suit against the employers for
the wages which would have been earned had there
been no violation of the contract and, consequently,
no strike.
Assuming the correctness of the employees ex-
PLANTATION of the cause of the strike, there will still
remain some knotty problems to be solved. If the
employers violated their contract, was the strike
the proper remedy, or should the employees have
remained at work and gone to the courts for
redress? That is one of the important questions
to be decided.
are in equity responsible for all the consequences
which grew naturally and inevitably out of their act,
and should be made to pay. But while that will be
just, it will not repair the mischief that has been
done. If the employees are. paid for their time they
will suffer no direct loss. But one of the greatest
industries of the country has been idle for weeks.
The people of the country at large are wearing out
their clothing, and that clothing must be replaced.
Because of inactivity in the center of the industry
there is less clothing than there would have been
if the business had been kept moving. Hence Some
body is going to pay for that idleness. 1t will not
be the people who operate the sewing machines and
make buttonholes. 1t will be the people who en-
ploy them 1t will be those in every city and ham
let and on every farm who must buy clothing and
pay money for it.
A penalty may be necessary, but a penalty is
not a remedy.

IMMIGRATION ABsURDrr1Es.

The other day at Ellis Island, a woman immi-
grant was passed by the immigration authorities as
acceptable, as were three OF her young children, but
her youngest, a 1l-months old babe, was excluded.
The reason for this remarkable ruling was that when
the third child was passed, the quota of this wom-
ans country admissible under the present immigra-
ton law was completed, and there could be no
further admissions. As the case stood, therefore,
it was decided that the woman and three of her
children might remain. but that the little babe in
arms must be rejected.
t8Of course such a decision must be carried out.
Wesare not informed as to what adjustment was
made; whether the woman because of the impossi-
billty Of admitting all of her children found it neces-
saryt to return with them all, or whether some way
was found of admitting the little innocent with the
other members OF the family. The fact remains
that there is something crude, awkward, and unnec-
essary about the management Of a public activity
which will permit of such an absurd ruling to stand
even technically and for a moment. The trouble
may be with the unwise and needless rightly of the
immigration law, or it may be with the boneheaded-
ness of some of those chosen to administer it. In
any case, some change is necessary, to avoid the
repetition of such an absurdity.
The limitation of immigration is sound policy.
We have been too negligent in the admission of for
-e1gners to our country. Not sufficient care has
been taken to insure the admission only of those
who are likely to become desirable citizens, and the
plan which has been adopted o. limiting immigration
from any country to a definite percentage of the
number OF persons of that particular nationality al
ready here is probably as good a method as can be
devised, but while the policy is sound, there is need
that the administration Of the law be intelligent and
sof such a character that manifest absurdities will

BENJAMIN F%RANKL1N.

Yesterday was the 216th anniversary of the
birth of Benjamin Franklin. The anniversary was
marked by suitable obscrvances in many places at
which attention was called to the remarkable SER
vices which have been performed by this most re-
markable man.
Genius is usually associated in the public mind
with a rather one-sidcd and abnormal development.
Franklin was a genius whose development was
rounded and symmetrical. He was brilliant with
out being erratic. He was philosophic without per-
hitting his philosophy to place him out Of touch
with the affairs of everyday life. He was intensely
practical; yet he was possessed by an idealism
which looked far into the future and foresaw bet
ter than most of his compeers the development Of
human possibilities in character, in the field of gov
ernment, and in the utilization of the vast resources
of nature. In every direction he was balanced, and
because of the wonderful sanity Of his character he
was able to perform services which could have been
performed by no other man then living, and which
probably could not have been equalled by any man
who has lived since his time.
We think of Franklin as the man of science,
the mechanical adept, the man of business and the
statesman. We admire him for his literary ability
and for the contributions which he made to the
world in the literary field. In all of these depart
mcnts of activity he excelled, and it is difficult to
say in which one his services were most c%onspicu-
Gus.
Without doubt his statesmanlike influence on
the trend of public affairs in his time was of more
permanent character than his influence in any other
direction. Had Franklin never discovered the iden-
tity of electricity and lightning, some other man
would have made that discovery: Someone would
have discovered, one by one, all of the scientific
facts which Franklin made known. Other men
would have built up important commercial enter
prises, and other men would have written valuable
books, but Franklin's activities in the field of states
manship came at a time when the world needed just
the kind of service which he was able to perform.
1t is difficult for us now to estimate what Franklin
did for the cause of American independence during
those troubled years in France. Had it not been
for his work the result OF the American rebellion
might have been entirely different. Human history
would have been written in a different way had the
great movement failed, and nothing any other man
might have been able to do at some later time could
have undone the results of colonial failure i'll the
war which followed the Declaration Of Independ-
ence. For this reason Franklin has taken his place
work was invaluable and indispensable. He has
merited the regard of humanity for his activities in
many fields, but in none so much as in this.
