migration restrictions and par
ticularly on new restrictions
which are being contemplated in
certain anti-immigration quar-
ters. This group of people have
undertaken upon themselves to
try to enlighten both foreign
born citizens and native born
citizens as to the outcome of
these restrictions.
The fact is that the anti-for-
eign feeling which is passing
over this country seems to have
ignored the existence in this
country of the millions of for
eign-born citizens whose in
fluence is not only in numbers,
but in the fact that they have
proven themselves to be val
liable and loyal asset to our coun-
try.
The recent campaign preced-
ing the new johnson bill points
a finger at particular part of
our foreign-born citizenry. 1t
is obvious that there is dis
elimination between nation and
nation, or rather, that some ma
tionals are not as good citizens as
other nationals.
Individual protests, lost in the
hurry and hustle of the day, are
not of any avail. A protest
should come from the combined
forces of the press which has
millions of foreign-born readers.
A protest of this type surely
would not be overlooked.
The foreign-born citizens of
America came to this country be-
cause they had heard the re-
nown of America abroad; on the
other side of the world they had
been told, and they had believed,
that under the shadow of the
Statue of Liberty there is a land
in which the ideals of equality of
justice and liberty are para
mount, and in which racial and
religious discrimination has no
place. These were the ideals
which attracted them and which
fired them with affection for this
country even before they had
touched it's shores.
| am certain that the protest
of the foreign born press will re-
echo in the heart of the Ameri-
can people and they will realize
the great injustice they will do
to certain nationalities by MAX
ing restrictions against immi-
grafton.

proper somewhere else. What
may be immoralsfor one may be
moral for another.
There is no immortality among
the lower animals. They only
follow their instincts or the mar
rowly defined laws of nature.
They neither eat to excess nor
drink too much nor. are they
guilty of sex excesses. They are
neither moral nor immoral but
they must always remain ami
mails.
So we come to the final con-
clusion that ALL THAT Is
GOOD FOR HUMANS IS NOR
AL; ALL THAT is BAD is I'M
MORAL.
Morality in life is the same as
morality in business. To gam
BILE is immoral for the reason
that it violates the law of COM
pensation. The gambler seeks
something for nothing and he
does not contribute anything to-
ward the development of con-
structive creation.
If the newly discovered oil
field at Wellington should prove
a bonanza it will do as much
harm morally as it will benefit us
materially. The reason is that it
will unleash a gambling spirit
which expects the largest pos
sible return for the smallest eff
fort.
1t is true that every business
is more or less of gamble, that
it has it's hazards, and that it
may win or lose. But legitimate
business also creates moral joy
which satisfies, the creative de-
sire in the active man.
The stock gambler who wins
is no different from the man who
plays the lottery and acquires a
fortune which he does not know
how to use intelligently. And
there isn't much difference, NOR
ally, between either and those
highwaymen who stole several
hundred thousand dollars from
the Denver mint last winter.
Even the sacifice of human life,
if not a direct murder, is usually
the price paid for such acquisi-
tions.
On the other hand, the cap
tain of industry who sees his
fortune grow from a small be-
ginning into great industry be-
comes master mind which
grows and develops and keeps
step with his responsibilities.

VI YHAT is morality and
N/ what is immortality?
v How few people are able
to answer this important ques-
tion offhand or even at all Ask
one person and he will talk to
you about sin; another will dis
cuss the laws of God and still
another will seek to find the
answer in his religion. All of
which proves conclusively that
they know less than nothing of
this most important human
factor.
Moral teachers in their own
ignorance have not only been un-
able to give the people a clear
understanding of what morality
really means but they have
challenged the fundamental de-
sire for independent thought
which at times must become an
tagonistic to a mere dictum or
command even tho it may be
given in the name of a supreme
authority. To the whims of such
teachers, these independent
thinkers are expected to sac
rifice the very joys and pleasures
of life.
What could be more natural
than that the skeptics should re-
spond to queer moral teachings
with negation and that a greater
interest is ever manifested in the
doings of bad men than in the
passiveness of the good. We do
not admire the bad man for his
badness but for his activity. HUI
man nature is such that most
people would rather see a man
make a mistake than watch him
standstill because of fear that he
might make the wrong move.
How much further would we
get if we could strip all our
moral teachings of the supernat-
ural and give the irrefutable
facts!
EVERYTHING THAT is
MORAL is GOOD. 1t benefits
the individual and not society at
large as that great philosopher,
Bacon, has said. THE MINOR
AL is HARMFUL and destruc-
tive also to the individual and
not necessarily to society at
large.
To say the wages of sin is
death means nothing to the or
dinary man. Everybody dies
sometime whether he has sinned
or not. And the destruction does
not follow Immediately upon vio-
lation of the law but is rather
deferred, even thru several gen.
erations before the penalty is ex-
acted.
On the other hand, there is no
necessity of warning a bystand-
er, who has just seen a careless
man electrocuted by a highly
charged wire, against touching
that same wire. He has seen the
danger and the lesson has gone
home.
Still, we are wondering why
our religious teachings have had
so little effect upon the chang
ing tendencies of the law trans
gressors. Really, the surprising
thing is that their influence has
lasted so long. If our theolo-
gians would simplify their teach
ings and their doctrines and put
them in a few easily understood
phrases-good is good and bad
is bad and neither the one will
benefit nor the other harm the
gods but will merely react upon
the individual; if they would
state frankly that the very en-
ioyment of life will be material
ly impaired by failure to follow
