6.-The administrative commit
tee of the federal council of

organization) is out and out
fighting the proposed immigra-
tion bill in this congress, on the
ground that it is a fragrant vio-
latlon of accepted principles of
courteous and friendly interna-
tlonal, relations This organiza-
ton has sent an appeal to each
representative and senator re-
questing a change in the bill.
This goes to show how ever some

OF Congress was signed by DIR. Charles

abrogate the treaty with Japan and

Loves Japan
DR.. Sidney L. Gullick, Secretary of
the commission on international JUS
tice and goodwill of the federal coun-
Gil of churches, has also been issuing
statements on the subject in which
he characterizes the immigration bill
as "a wanton affront to Japan"
All of this attitude is about the
same as that recently expressed by
Secretary of State Hughes. This fed
eral council of churches even goes
so far as to say that Japan has done
its part faithfully Congress has thus
far done its part faithfully. But the
Pacific coast states have not done
their part"
Is Poor Doctrine
That sort of doctrine is not going
to get very far nowadays with red
blooded 100 per cent Americans. The
people of the Pacific coast know this
subject better than does the federal
council of churches, and it's about
time for all good Americans to stand
together and preserve this country
and its American school system for
Americans. The way to start is to
restrict immigration so that foreign
ers will not come over here with their
world-war-torn dissensions, and inoc-
ulate the people of this country with
their foreign ideas and principles to
such an extent that the aliens will
after while be running this govern
ment and this country, or at least
trying to-, which has been their am
bition all the time. Let's make
America a haven for Americans; ali-

By TWILIGHT

On March 2, the Russian-Sloakian
church, corner of Case and Forest
streets, St. Paul, displayed foreign
flag over the outer door above the
American flag; thus insulting the
flag of the country that gave them
refuge from European tyranny.
The occasion was special celebra-
tion of some kind which took place
at the church. In the afternoon a
parade was held by the foreigners, in
which about so people participated.
1t is reported by a reliable person
that the foreign flag preceded the
American flag in the parade.

Your Thoughts

When you get little time for re-
Election, what do you think about?
Probably along some of the fol
lowing lines:
The injustice that appears to pre-
vail in the world.
Political corruption that is appar-
ent from congressional investiga-
tons.
How some of the people of your
acquaintance are able to do it and
still make both ends meet.
The disregard for law that on the
surface. seems to be growing.
Murders, robberies, divorces,
scandals and similar evils.
These are some of the multitude
nous thoughts that come to the av-
erage person, with their long trail of
dissatisfaction and disgust
This is the black side-the unusual
side of life that gets into print. The
usual, the commonplace things, are
too often overlooked
Try a change Of thought and see
if it isn't beneficial
Think of some way Of building up
the home life and making it more at
tractive.
Devise some way TO exercise a
greater amount of supervision over
the children and to be of assistance
to the school teacher who labors
diligently that they may grow up to
be decent and respectable men and
women,
Ask yourself if you are putting
forth your best effort for the inn
provement Of conditions in the COM
munity
Give a little thought 70 developing
the proper spirit Of anlity and good
will among those with whom you
come in daily contact.
Make a special effort TO be a
booster for everything at home,
instead Of n critic.
Thoughts frequently come unbid-
den, but it is not difficult to divert
them along wholesome lines.
Give this recipe for peace of
mind a trial and see if it does not
benefit you as wen as those about
you.-Ex

AuTTLE TALK ON THRIFT
BY s. W. STRAUS
President % American Society for Thrift

The first few weeks of the pre-
sent year have given Indication that,
barring unforeseen eventualities,
1924 will witness the greatest volume
of building in the history of the
country. While construction ex-
penditures last year ran well above
five billion dollars, the gain over
normal pre-war years, in point of
actual new construction, was not as
great as the comparative figures
might suggest, owing to the increase
in building costs during the last half
decade.
1t is probably safe to say, how
ever, that in home building the pro-
spects now are that this win be the
greatest year IN the country's
history.
From careful and authoritative
surveys, the indications are that the
amount Of dwellings to be erected
in this country this year, not in
Guiding apartments and apartment
hotels, will be approximately $780,
100000 on the supposition that
general building activities win con-
tinue through the year in keeping
with present activities.
From an economic standpoint the
country needs more homes, but the
deeper advantages of widespread
home building lie in the encourage
ment thus given to thrift.
Money prudently saved is always
benefit to the person who makes
the saving, but money saved through
the processes of home ownership is
doubly valuable
A home of this type shelters a
thrifty family, the youthful men,
bers of which will go forth into the
world with the value of thrift deeply
and indelibly implanted within them.
Home ownership gives an anchor
age for the family-a feeling of
security and stability that can be
gained in no other way.
The man who owns his roof-the
place that shelters his family and
himself-his refuge in times of af-
flication and the haven of his
happiest associations-will never be
carried away by impractical theories
of government.
This is the period of year when the
encouragement of home ownership
proves productive of the greatest
good.
1t is hoped that the present pros
poets for the country's greatest home
building year will be borne out.
No other single development
would be Of more salutary signific-
ance to the country.

Along about the time when we

gressional investigation.

Jim Perkins was classed as a
jolly good scout by people he met
on life's way; his face all a-smile
he'd go dashing about as bright as
morning in May. The folks on
the street would all greet him with
JOY whenever he'd heave into view;
every man, every maid, every matron
and boy were strong for old Jim
thru and thru. He'd play with the
children and flatter the DANES; with
the men ne was jovial and free.
He'd tell funny stories invent brand
new games-a popular fellow was
he. But when home he turned as
the evening drew nigh what a
change would come over his face !;
the children would scamper to hide
from his eye-for, he was the boss of
the place. And while he was there
he would grumble and growl and
cuss like sailor man bold; he'd
punish the Riddles until they would
howl and chase wife out in the cold.
Such fellows as Jim are scarce / be-
lieve and that is a blessing | trow:
for if there were many I'd banker to
leave and wear bright crown on my
brow. If folks could but see him at
home in his shack. they'd lead him
right out to the square and with
stout cudiel belabor his back and
tie double knots in his hair.

LOOK FOR COMPETITION
Dewitt County Democratic Primary
Will Be Active Affair.

CuerO. Tex, March 29.-DeWitt
will probably show more voting
strength in the Democratic primaries
this year than for several years, as
all of the county candidates this. year
are probably going to run subject 10
the primaries.
For the last two election years there
have been other parties and independ-
ent candidates in the running who
submitted their candidacy to the gen
eral election, and this had a tendency
to let the primary election run along
without competition and therefore
without much pep. The result was
that the general election showed more
than twice the number of voters who
participated in the primary.
Dewitt county issued more than
5000 poll tax and exemption receipts
and the total voting strength of she
county is reckoned to BE. around TO-
600. Negro voters are, of course,
barred from the primary but some
thing like half the entire voting
strength should be represented in the
primary election returns.
