IMMIGRATION

So much time and space has been given to the discussion of the proposed exclusion of the Japanese from this country that the results which would come if the immigration bill became a law have seemed to become a matter of smaller importance while we of the east will be more concerned over the effects of the bill without con sidering the matter of the Japanese.
 Violent protest has been made, quite naturally, against a measure which would discriminate by lowering the quotas of Italy, Poland, Russia, Jugo- Slayia, Czecho-Slovakia, Rumania and others far more than the quotas of other countries are lowered. While there is general agreement among students of sociology and economies that immigration must be reduced, the great question remains as to the wisdom of going about it in the way that has been done.
 As reminder of what the results would be under the provisions of the new law, there is here given a tabula- tion of the number of immigrants al- flowed from each country under the law as it exists and the number that would be allowed under the new meas ure:

pRoHnrTIoN AND FISH

We arc speaking of fish. Whether prohibition is good or mot co good' for man. is not the question here. Now proceed. The New Haven Union. quite properly takes up the point raised by tho Ansonia Sentinel as 10 the evils rec sulting from certain things being done hy the authorities. Those evils apply Co the Ash, in whom or in which we are. much interested.
 supt. Titcomb of the state fish and game department, says the Sentinel, calls attention to tho fact that streams were primarily intended as an abode for fish. we do not enter into an academic discussion Of whether or not this is their chief reason for being; certainly Ash do live in streams and it i. their nature to. Then Mir. Titcomb allows there arc certain forms Of pol- hutton of streams which apparently cannot be avoided. We will refrain from discussing thst matter, also. Opinions differ and 1t has nothing 10 do with the matter in hand. But. he says with due respect, when the prohi- bition enforcement authorities gel hold Of large quantity or the sort of liquor which is guaranteed 10 kill man or beast-or Hsh, and when they must put it out of circulation so that it can not get in its ncfarious work. why pick on inc nsh9 Why pollute their homes with tho awful stun? Of course r dumping this rotten stuff into the ritcr. NIT. Titcomb admits. only hap pcned now and then. it would not mat trr-much. But he says it happens often and the quantity Of foreign liquid poured into inc streams is enough to affect inc fish materially: and tbe otIality of it-Heil. no re- spectable fish ought 10 be required 10 take II even externally. And certainly VIC cant expect The fish 10 parade up and down thorouehIares. smiling at shsir fapper friends. with mouths and eills shut tight all the time.
 This matter Is not poor attempt a' an anti prohibition joke. Mr. Tit- comb is in earnest about fl and he has reason to be. The state pays thou sands Of dollars annually 10 props gate nth and it is trying to prevent stream pollution sIso. Certainly the state is working at cross purposes when it tries 10 keep a stream clean with one hand and with the other fls # full gf hooch which no fish kn0winsiy u0uld drink etsn though f might find ready sale to humans The white

found justified by any thinking man, whatever his personal opinion Of the church attacked. IL seems as if the Klan is taking on political significance with the possible nomination of Al Smith of New York as democratic candidate for President of the United States. Mr. Smith, being a Catholic, will be accused of every religious per version under the sun by those who late the Catholic church, not because he is Smith, but because he is Catho- lie.
 There is less room for bigo,s every day in this country, bigots of any re- ligion or race. the sooner we eliminate them the better off we shall be.

THE PEOPLES RESOURCES

It seems scarcely credible that less such a careful person as Calvin Coolidge, would say the words, I am trying to deliver" Muscle Shoals to Henry Ford, or that he should give expression to any statement which could properly be so construed. And equally dificult is it to picture the president and Ford making an agree ment whereby Ford was to come out for Coolidge provided the latter would see to it that he got the power proposition. But much as We may criticize adversely many of the state ments of Governor pinehot, of Penn sylvania, there is deal of common sense in his remark: T see no reason in the world why so careless a form Of contract IFord's offcr) should be accepted as the Ford bid. There is no penalty for forfeiture and no guar antee of any sort - distribution of power should be made over the widest practical area at the lowest practical price to the consumer"
 It is quite generally admitted. probably. that the greatest incentive for fayoring the idea of turning Muscle Shoals over to Ford is the latter's sue cess and the expectation that he would make great success of whatever he tries to do with his second greatest power potentiality in the United states. Henry Ford, in addition 10 making a tremendous success Of his automobile business, has performed other achievements. He took non- paying railroad and made it pay--but he made it successful because he subordinates all other interest to that of the carrying of his own freight. There was no need for considering messengers. Tor meeting the demands of the public. He had enough busl- ness Of his own to make the road a success.
 And this remark of Pinchots, strangely enough, has a decidedly Al smlthesaue tninge. The governor Of Now York state believes most thor oughiy In developing the wealth that belongs to tie people. for the benefit of the puonle themselves. He urges, ss general policy, that no private indl idual af concern should be allow cd t9 paks profit out of the es- sets, in the shape Of undevcloped re- sources. which belong primarily 10 sli tho people of the country. There is no tinge of soactism in this policy and neither is there, fortunately, any reminder of tho causes Of scandals which have stirred Washington and the whole country recently

 Their plan is to tear down our re- publican form of government and set up soviet rule in America.
