If you are going to be a good

the present session Of Congress no deh-

ing character. The only decided rally
in wheat prices came as q result OF
the fact that for while the corn mar-
ket showed strength and that vessel
room was reported to have been ems
gagged for large shipments OF wheat
from Canada. A new dip In wheat
values. however, took place toward the
end of the day when pressure to sell
became again rather evident.
Although at first corn and oats
showed a tendency to sag In sympathy
with wheat, offerings of corn grew
scarce and the corn market made a.
sudden upturn aided by gossip that
eastern shipping call for corn had en-,
larged somewhat. Besides, arrivals OF
corn here today amounted to only So
cars. On the other hand. attempts to
realize profits created by the upturn
brought about a quick setback at the

Prof. Morrow Speaks
To Mems Club of
Baptist Church

Prof. c. f. Morrow addressed the
mems club OF the United Raptjst
church on Gctchell street last evening
on the immigration problem. Prof.
MORROW gave clear outline of the con-
ditlons existing in north Boston at the
present time with the foreign popula-
tion and said that this was a good ex-
ample or tn" general condition
throughout the United States. He de-
elared that immigration to the United
states should be suppressed because
the added population would necassitate
the lowering of the standard Of living
as this country is now producing near
ly the amount of food 1t Is able to, and
the added growth in numbers would
force the present living standard to A.
lower mark.
The speaker mentioned that although
the general attitude of the old type
! American-born citizen towards the for
eigner was not brotherly. and that the
tendency In Americans to avoid the
foreigner. as far as social association
, Is concerned. Is very evident in these
days. this condition will not always be
/ in existence. He showed that IL the
man who comes to this country could
| be educated to live as an American and
given the friendly hand of fellowship
he would in time become interested in
tho institutions OF the country and be
as valuable a citizen as those who are
born here.
In closing. however, Prof Morrow
declared that the foreigner should not
| come to America for the purpose Of
making money. because he would spend
the best part Of his life in some mill.
wearing his body away and leaving this
country in ruined physical condition.
with a hatred for Americans. their in
situations, their ideas and the coun-
try. Mr.. Morrow suggested that the
present rate of immigration be reduced
| somewhat and declared that the pres
ent standard Of living would continue
along at about the same level IL the
population was not increased.

Discussion Wakes
Hot on Merits. and
Dement'S Colby "Mule"

The status OF the White Mule, the
Colby College comic publication, re-
mains practically the same as it has
with the exception that the discus
sion over it's merits and dement's still
wakes hot. Yesterday little was to be
added to the story which broke Mon
day with the exception Of the opinion
of several Of the members of the COL
lege faculty on the matter.
1t would seem that the opinion OF
the faculty is not for suppression but
rather for a paper which will bring
more credit to the college and which
will contain more humor and wit or
the desirable variety. This opinion
was expressed by several professors
yesterday who admitted that they had
seen but the first of the first two is
sues of the White Mule.
Prof. Carl J. Weber, head of the de-
partment of English literature. stated
last evening that in his opinion not
creditable paper to the college but
he did not believe in the ancient order
of suppression but rather making the
students Of the college realize and see
clearly that such humor as he believes
the White Mule publishes. should be
improved upon. He said that the use
Of sensible jokes with clean meanings
was desirable. Prof. Weber also sta
ted that he had heard considerable
talk against the paper from different
sources.
Prof. Clarence White stated that he
did not believe the paper to be of any
credit to the college. He likewise
said that it was not the apparent de-
sire Of the faculty to suppress the
White Mule but rather to allow the
students to make it more clean pa
per. Some of the jokes and other ma
tcrial was very suggestive, according
to Prof. White and also said that all
colleges which make attempts to pub
lish comic paper sooner or later find
i. hard to maintain their paper and
occasionally they bring out an issue
which is not creditable and in bad
taste.
One statement which was made
yesterday in the Kennebec Journal
was incorrect in stating that a faculty
censor had the overlooking Of all ma
terial for the paper. The White Mule
is written and financed entirely by the
students of the college without rela-
tionship tot the faculty. No special
steps have been taken by any author
tiles at all to suppress the paper and
the story OF such attempts was mere
ly q rumor.

professional automobile thieves did

! Miss Wrigley left the car on Park
street for few moments while she
made call. but when she came out
the car was gone. Police in the
