ately present For il will be conceded that the gen
cral program Of the conference showed amazing
breadth of view, yet 50 firmly linked wers its several
parts that il went through little amended
The skeptical citizenship of New York first began
to take the measure Of Mr.. Hughes years ago, when.
he emerged from obseurity to take charge OF a legis-
lative inquiry II was discovered that the attorney of
the COMMITTEES had remarkable lueidity OF mind,
coupled with industry and capacity to see a plan in
its parts as well as its whole. Then on the larger
stage Of the insurance investigation tae same qualities
we're displayed, and also thEt Mr.. Hughes was much
more than a lawyer. So he was chosen governor, and
though he could not conquer a hostile legislature when
he went to the supreme court he quickly won n place
US n great jurist.
As a presidential candidate he did not fire the
popular imagination. lie had so high a conception of
the exalted Office to which he aspired that he felt self
restraints that prevented a full revelation of his per-
sonality and his possible policies. The American peo-
PIE like sentiment and are not kindly to anything sug-
gestive of a~dSterity Of character. Mr.. Hughes, in fact,
IS warm and generous, but, 4iasi he has little liking
for wearing his heart on his sleeve.
Americans are often said not to be internationally
minded. It Is complained of them that they are pro-
vincially immersed in home affairs. But as to one
thing the criticism is not Just Let 1t appear that a
course is in accord with the spiritual urgings which
come out of our past, and that there is a chance to ex-
tend the domain of the American spirit, and they are
intensely interested. So the more ambitious Mr..
Hughes was to play the role of a practical altruist the
stronger became his home support Cynicism retired
abashed IN the presence of his candor and directneSs.
We are filed through Mr.. Hughes with what we re-
gard as proper pride over the results of work not
merely for our own good but for the worlds good.

turity to further, he was specially fortunate in hav-
ing as his presidential chief a man neither nervous
nor dogmat;c and willing to show abiding confidence

RANKING HELPS srARILIzE.

The indications are that labor radicalism and va
r;ous forms of socialism are on the decline.
Banking organizations have always shown a spirit
of cooperation in progressive community movements:
The organization of groups to market prouucts anu
to purchase improved livestock has been encouraged.
AS a result of such encouragement sentiment Tor
real cooperation has grown and made farmers strong
er and more hopeful. d,
Producers associations such as fruit growers, wool
growers and truck farming have increased and be-
come mora self-reliant-
To illustrate, an organization of fax and hemp
growers has been built up III western Oregon, where
land owners and reEters are putting up $40 per acre
for five years TO establish cooperation in those IN
Gustries.
That is an illustration of the effect of constructive
banking building up confidence in the producers Of raw
material to go ahead and organize the capital to mar
ket a finished product
Under good methods the farmers will reap the har-
vest not only of their raw material but the profit OF
putting it up in a more highly finished material Tor
which there is a world market.

PROFESSION LOSING CAsTE.

As n sign of the times on the eastern seaboard a
cheerful note is reported in the press with reference
to the profession of bootlegging.
People who are looking these days, anxiousiy ano
rot too successfully, for evidence that some day OF
other prohibition will prohibit, can get at least a NJ
tie announcement from what Colonel Hayward, te
United States attorney, says as to the change OF spirit
that has been shown Of late by the juries before whom
are tried the men accused of violating the liquor laws
Not long ago, he declares, a~cquittals were the rule
and convictions were the rare exception. None OF INC
accused pleaded guilty, no matter what the evidence
arainst them might be, and confidence in the eager
ness of the Jurors TO find excuses for letting them go
was almost always justified. -,
Now the situation is nearly reversed, a fact winch
Colonel Hayward ~ascribes, not to any new liking Tor
prohibition, but to a new detestation of the bootleg
rers. based on realization that, in addition to being
ruthless prufteers they are ready, as n class, TO sen
poison TO their patrons when they have nothing else
TO sell and not infrequently when they have or could
get the something better, and will not simply because
less money is to be made out Of It
The result of this resentment is that excuses TOT
acouittal are no longer sought, convictions are nu-
meryus instead of rare, and guilt is frequently con-
fessed in the hope of securing a mitigation OF SEN
tence. So often, of late, have the bootleggers been
murderers in everything except explicit intention that
even the most thirsty have ceased, or are ceasing' TO
regard them as public benefactors, and have come OF
arc coming, to treat them as the miserable criminals
they all are.

Fundamental Principles in immigration

The present emergency iaw for the
temporary numerical restriction of
immigration does not relax any Of
the many and excellent. qualitative.
~solective tests OF tho law OF 1917. 1t
merely provides that for the fiscal
year 192i-22 the number OF otherwise
qualified immigrants who may be ad-
mitted from zach European country
shall not exceed three per cent OF the
foreign born residents in the United
States as shown in the census of 1910,
Sometime next winter congress ex-
poets to enact a new immigration law,
for the present Three Per Cent
Law is open to a number OF serious
objections. In drafting the new law
the committees on Immigration of the
senate and house will no doubt keep
In mind two vital considerations.
First. there is the weil-nigh uni
versal conviction that the needs OF
America as a nation should be the
prime consideration in regulating the
amount and kind or immigration
which may wisely bc admitted to our

DON'T BE A JOB KILLER.

Don't be a job killer" writes John lakewood in
Forbes. at is an admonition that those in control of
the policies of large enterprise might wei. impress up
on their operating executives ali the way down the
scale
men on the pretext of retrenchment and economy, but
really in order to ingratiate and intrench himself more
firmly in the good graces of his own superiors.
'This description does not apply in any sense to
the prudent executive who makes a sincere study of
the business interests intrusted to him and of the
somewhat austere requirements of these difficult times.
It has been patent on all sides in industry and bust
ness that Isx administrative policies during the boom
resulted in swollen employment lists.
"But there are always birds of prey ready to take
advantage of necessitous conditions. The very neces-
sity, the very virtue of economy and conscientious ad-
ministration during reactionary times makes all the
more execrable the work of the man who uses them
as a pretext fur killing other mems jobs in order to
win favor for himself. He can be seen running to the
president Of his concern, saying to him with great
caution: See how many men / have fired today, see
how much money I have saved'-leaving it to the pres
ident to think what a good and faithful servant thou
art
From the broader social point of view, job-killing
means depriving of work those who have a certain
right to their employment so long as their jobs are
justified and their own services are satisfactory. It
means also the creation of unnecessary unemployment,
the reduction of buying power, and the prolongation
and aggravation of business stagnation.

foolish thing every time"

NORTH DAKOTA As A LESSON.

The industrial commission of North Dakota" OBJ
serves the Detroit Free Press, "hzs issued a report
showing the results Of the plunge which the stnte took
into public ownership under the guidance of the Non
ports of financial failure which have been made from
time to time by various unofficial observers. The
Bank Of North Dakota has lost something moro than
100000 and has about 81 600, 900 tied up in state
banks which are in receivers hands. The partly COM
pleted grain elevator which viii cost 50, 500, 900 will
not be worth 2 1000, 600 when it is finished. The -four
mill is losing about 500 a day, and the Home Build
cost.
'These losses are not large. Taken al together
they are less than Philadelphia was robbed Of in the
building Of a city hall, and II. there were nothing in
the affair but n story of losses due to falling mar
kets and bad management, it would be of little in
terest. But North Dakota set out to teach the United
States a lesson. This country as a whole has found
that business and politics do not mix well. Certain
n-on-competitive kinds of business may be carried on
fairly well by the public but there is nothing in the
history of the whole nation to show that governmental
organizations are fitted for industrial administration.
The voters OF North Dakota did not believe that ex-
perience and judgment in such matters correspondent
with the truth. They thought that the independence.
initiative, ~Hexibility and experience necessary to sue
cess in private business could be dispensed with even
in the highly competitive -four milling industry. They
are now losing S1.50 on every barrel of -four they
make.
"North Dakota also thought that Mr.. Townley and
other politicians could be trusted to establish an en-
tirely new sort of bank under state control thai would
finance its industrial enterprises and do a wristy of
things banks ordinarily do not do. In this field, also,
the state ran counter to a deeply established convic-
ton in toe rest of the United States.
North Dakota now has some reason in its own OK
perience for thinking that this bias of the people
against political banks is founded in sound policy"

country to become a permanent fac
tor / n the composition of our popu-
lace and in the conduct OF u polit'
icai and social institutions.
And then. there is the Industrial
situation. Widespread and long-con-
tinued depression n gripped the life
of our people. Between 5000, 600 and
5000, 900 manual workers are report
ed to have been without work for
many months.
Whatever permanent immigration
policy congress may adopt. that pol
icy should grow out OF the facts and
experiences of our national life. II
should be fitted to deal effectively
with changing Industrial conditions
and also with the larger and more in
tricate problem OF population compo-
sition and its wholesome incorpora-
ton into our body polite and ma
tional life.
The following principles should
characterize the permanent immigra-
ton policy of tho United States:
1. Immigration should DO regulated

iy particular types of immigration
which definite experience shows 10 be
dinicuit TO hzimflate and absorb.
s. The law should provide for the
sending OF expert examiners TO the
lands from which immigration most
iy comes-this for the sake OF both
prospective immigrants and OF our
own iznd.
o. The law should make possible
a wise distribution OF new immigra-
ton. Tho flow should be restricted or
entirely stopped from given peoples.
TO already congested areas. and en-
cournged TO go to those parts OF
America where Il is desired.
10. Tho new immigration policy
should be distinctly patriotic. 1t
should favor immigration from PEG

from other lands. 1t should guaran.
toe equal treatment and n square deal
to all aliens now In the United Saates.
1t should provide for higher stand
ards for naturalization and then grant
tho privileges OF citizenship 70 all
who qualify. 1t should look to tho
creation Of a substantially homogen.
eous people having a common mind,
and a w~hoiesomely functioning
democracy.

wIcKEDNEss IN NEW YORK.

The crime figures in New York for the past year
make the smaller states feel almost pure and holy in
comparison.
The number Of convictions in courts Of record and
courts of special sessions in New York state in 1921
was nearly 40 per cent greater tnan in the preceding
wear. The total of &C, 591 in 1920 rose to $3.50 in
1921.
The convictions for intoxication nearly doubled, go
ing from 5,2S7 to 1921. Opponents of prohibition
win shake a wicked finger at the increase. But those
who study the drinkers of the prohibition era are not
deceived. A man who in the old days would get
drunk enough to be happy, but not drunk enough TO
he arrested, is likely now to become roaring drunk
whenever he gets hold of a bottle of hard liquor
whot's more, the stuff the bootleggers sell as whisky
is the stuff that crime is made Of.
Why should there have been an increase Of 10000
convictions outside of intoxication cases7 The police
isey say that the figures are evidence of their greater
skill in catching criminals. The district attorneys and
the courts may claim a share of the credit. The pes
simist will say that there being more crimes there are
naturally more convictions, and that the increase in
crime is due to the war, the defiation in wages and a
widespread dissemination to work.
The ratio between the sexes stands fifteen to one
with the burden of conviction upon the men.
There is nothing cheerful in the figures.

The man who comes out of the sessions of the limi-

is bound to be our own secretary of state who pre-
sided at the gathering. American and foreign news

it says:

Webb Adams, well known publicity man and sec
rotary of the Big Horn Basin Producers Association,
writes us about The Tribunes industrial edition:
II have just finished reading the big edition put out
by you. It was a monster undertaking. From the
standpoint of an editor the work is a perfect accom-
plishment. The makeup followed the latest styles of
the printers art, which is not a small part in making
a newspaper attractive to its readers, and I read your
daily edition with great pride in the fact that very few
cities, so young as Casper, can boast of its equal. Its
makeup, too, is along big city line9. congratulate

OF Sept. 22nd, the home of Charlie
Kendrick in the unprotected part OF
the city was burned to the ground. The
firemen came on record time but as
is always the case in this part OF town
there was nothing they could do. NO

long will those in authority leave US
to suffer thus2
The people lost all dining room and
kitchen things, nice China cabinet
with all its ware; a nice kitchen cab
met, stove and everything, belonging
to this part OF a home, with nice
supply of home canned goods. Much
of their clothing and other things,
among them half dozen full yarn
blankets were lost.
We are compelled to pay our share
on the water and lght bond issue each
year and what are we getting? Streets
as dark as midnight, with roWdy men
shooting all up and down them, no
water with which to protect our homes,
is our reward.
We are paying our part on a $23,OOC

MELON GROWERS
ASSOCIATION HELD MEET

Abel, Ga..-Fhc membership meet
ing held in this city Friday, Sept. Is,
Southwest Georgia Watermelon Grow
erS Association was a pronounced test
monial OF the South Georgia Farmers
determination to win their victory with
cooperation. The members OF this
organization - .&,erized their meet
ing with mAs s1Seeches OF sound
praise OF the Accomplishments of the
past season even though the odds
were against their efforts TO produce
melons that would bear up the repu-
tation gained by their "Sowcgas" dur
ing the previous season in the consum-
ing markets
The annual report oi the secretary
showed that there were 1889 cars
shipped from total ot 2O.+S2 acres
planted by the members OF the associa-
ton The report further revealed that
go cars were melons averaging "a
pounds and under which was in itself
splendid explanation OF why returns
were not as pleasing as in previous
seasons. The average net return to
the growers for 81 pounds average
melons was $245.90 per car, which
gives fair idea of what might have
/ been received had the melons this sea
son been of normal size. However, the
average net return to growers of $3.50
for all cars waas accepted by all as
being much better than could be ex-
pected when viewing the difficulties OF
growing, transporting and selling the
melons this season The weather him
dered the growing, the strike seriously
affected the transporting, and the COO
weather and uncertain deliveries by the
railroads in the consuming markets
certainly did not make the selling o.
melons a pleasure.
Many new measures were recon-,
mended which make the organization
more attractive and effective than ev.
err Experiences of the past two seas.
ons made necessary certain change.
which will mean closer cooperation ano
at the same time allow strict economy
1t was decided that there will be ne
field campaign next season except a
pruning time when district manager
will make one visit to the grower. TIL,
minimum membership fee for new
members was reduced from $500 t.
$40. A fertilizer commission was ap
pointed to investigate the plan Q
buying fertilizer comparatively TO
those who desired, and movemen
was started to enable the association
to grow its own seed at a special,
provided station. Such measures a
these are resultant of the constructive
spirit of the members and their pro
found faith in their organization.
