"a MANS HOUSE HIS
CASTLE" GOOD CLAIM
Restriction of Immigration Should
Go Hand In Hand With
AmericanizatiOn.

Washington, July Is. Capital
News Service )-Theodore G. Risley,
solicitor general of the De-
partment of Labor. says: "Immigra-
ton laws of the United States, limit
ing the influx of foreign-born per-
sons to this country. are justified
when il is considered that it is the
duty of the government to protect
American ideals and safeguard its
citizsns.
1.-THE United States government
has the same right to close the gates
of Ellis Island to undesirable aliens
as the head of family has to pro-
tect~his home. But it is essential
that the small quota of immigrants
admitted under the strict laws ad-
.ministered by the immigration au-
thorities be welcomed whole-hearted-
" by the American public" he said.
Immigrants who pass the tests at
Ellis Island are worthy Of the friend
ship and advice of their American
neighbors. II is the solemn duty or
every American citizen who loves his
country and who cherishes the prin-
ciples for which George Washington
fought to see to II that the foreign
horn residents are assisted in their
struggle to understand the meaning
OF good citizenship. BY so doing we
will be safeguarding our economic in
stitutions and insuring the spread OF
patriotism.
Mr.. Risley's words find a respon-
sive echo in the hearts OF many Gov
eminent authorities in the Capital
City. who believe ii necessary that
the country realize that no immigra-
ton law, no matter how strict, can do
for the nation what must be done in
the assimilation Of those who come
TO these shores. Immigrants who
PASS at Ellis Island and who remain
here must become either an asset or a
I liability to the nation, which depends
upon whether they become good
Americans or persist in remaining
foreigners living in a, to them, FOR
eign land. This is a question which
can only be solved by educational
m thods and a hearty cooperation on
\the part of al who come in contact
with the rev arrivals 10 these shor"s
to the end that they be made to feel
welcome and at home, in proportion
as they assimilate and apply the doe-
trines of true Americanism.

JAMES PENALTIES
COUNTY OFFICERS
Graves and Ballard Clerks Failure
To Report Collections
Draws 2OTo

Frankfort, KY, July 12.-Failure
of the county clerks of Graves and
Ballard counties to report gasoline
and other taxes to the state auditor,
as required by law, caused State In
spector and Examiner Henry E.
James to impose the 20 per cent pen
alties for neglect of duty"
The investigation of Graves Coun-
ty showed H. A. Coulter, former
county clerk, to be indebted to the
state in the sum of $4,641.41. of
which s3,13435 was for gasoline tax,
s125.40 for license tax, $163.3O for
tax on deeds, etc. and $1,1S4.22 on
game and fish commission fees. This
money was collected from Coulter
and converted into the state treas
ury by Inspector James, who also col
lected s3,47497 from Roy Holman,
ex-county clerk of Ballard County.
Inspector James found that the
county clerks had not reported gaso-
line tax collections since July /, 1921,
and had not reported any of the
license fees collected during the year
1921 belonging to the game and fish
commission.
"Such conduct on the part of Of
ficials," he said, sis absolutely mex
cusable."

the dropping of a fielded ball and
