THE NEW IMMIGRATION BILL
(The Daily Times, Dayenpertl

The immigration bill lately placed
on the house calendar has not only
political complications, but threatens
foreign inducements as we'll The
shot stuff" which has come out of
the senate committees probe OF the
oil leases has minimized the news
space ordinarily given to the routine
proceedings of congress.
The new immigration restrictive
measure will be widely discussed both
in the national legislative assembly
and throughout the country before it
is enacted. Not a little opposition
may be expected to develop to It.
Everyone will recognize that any
people have the privilege of deter
mining who shall be admitted rs po-
tential citizens, but whatever condi-
tions are imposed should concern the
fitness of those who would take up
their habitation here. The test should
be applied in their own land and
seek to establish their qualifications
to become good citizens here, ire
spective of their race or creed. No
other policy will square with our pro-
fessions of equality or the fundamen-
tai principles Of American govern
ment.
The new feature which is certain
to bring protests from Japan, is that
which closes the gates to those races
that are ineligible to citizenship. De-
spite the so-called gentlemen's agree
ment, thousands of Japs find their
way into this country clandestinely
each year. All subjects of the mika-
do would be placed on the basis Of
total exclusion, as are the Chinese,
which the proud japanese must find

The suggestion Of Secretary Hughes
that the Jap be put under the quota

Thy People Shall
Be My People
Northwest Christian Adyocate)

(NOFtnNeSt christian AuS0cateD
whittier thou goest / will go; and
whittier thou lodgest | will lodge;
thy people shall be my people, and
thy God my God" There is one re-
Election growing out of a study of the
story of Ruth so recently brought to
the attention of the church through
the Sunday school lesson. We call at
tention to the pledge of loyalty by
Ruth, not only to her mother-in-law,
Deborah, but to the laws and religion
of the people among whom she was
going as an immigrant to take up her
abode. 'Thy people shall be my peo-
ple." 1t is the only policy Ruth could
have framed and adhered to, and lived
in the peace and happiness that was
hers. The story of that beautiful
life, that harmonious adjustment,
that produced domestic and national
felicity and strength, is one of the
most beautiful and inspiring episodes
of ancient history.
Ruth might have thought herself
justified had she packed up her Mo-
abitish gods and continued their Wor-
ship among the Jehovah worshipers
of Israel. She might have intro
duced her foreign manners and GUS
toms and insisted upon the recogni-
tion of these by the people among
whom she had settled. But she relin-
quished all these in the interest of
larger harmony. Had she claimed
her rights, the beautiful book Of
Ruth would never have been written,
or, at best, It would have furnished
q sordid record in the history of Is
rael instead of it's most idyllic chap
ter.
The story has it's modern applica-
tion in the United States in the light
Of the serious problems Of a polyglot
people whose slightest thought is in
pledging that Americas people shall
be their people and Americas Gus
toms shall be their customs. The
pledge of citizenship means in a great
number of cases little more than liv-
ing barely within the law, and with
certain national groups to disregard
the laws and customs Of the land. We
hear much of late about occupational
blocs formed for selfish ends. These
blocs have their representatives at
Washington for legislative purposes.
II is q dangerous tendency for a ma
tion to divide into hostile groups with
the hand Of each turned against all
the others.

Atlanta Commission Acts Fol
 lowing Go With Stribling

ATLANTA, Ga, May 21.-Dan ODowd of Boston, light heavyweight boxer, was suspended for 60 days by the Atlanta boxing commission in meet ing here this afternoon. He was charged with "stalling and not putting forth his best effortsv in the ten-round bout here last night with Young Stribling; which he lost to the Georgia flash.
 The effect of the commissions ruling is that O'Dowd is barred during the suspension period from all cities where boxing commissions affiliated with the local body are in force. Notification of the action was wired to New Or leans for broadcasting to other cities.
 A sensation was caused after the bout when a temporary injunction was served on promoters of the fight to tie up the receipts pending settlement of suit for damages against the South eern Athletic club which sponsored the fight, by Eric Nelson, a partner in the concern.
 Eric Nelson obtained the order which also was directed against "Pa' Striblipg, the, Georgian's father-man4 ager, on grounds that Holt Gewinnef, an official of the club, so far has failed to pay him the $2,5OO which he agreed to accept for his interest in the organi. zation. He asks Judgment for S10,00O.
 By the time the injunction was serv- ed however, the, sbulk of the receipts had been turned over to the auditor for federal tax and other calculations. May 24 was set as the date for hearing Nelson's plea for judgment
