Alien Labor

THERE are American employers who
i decry the restrictions on immigra-
ton, but they should study what unem-
ployment has forced the British govern
ment TO do
In no circumstances is an alien allowed
to land in Great Britain TO search for
work. The would-be employer of an alien
has first to obtain permission from the
minister of labor.
The minister does not give the neees-
sary permission until he is completely
satisfied that the employer has taken all
possible steps to find labor in England,
that he will pay the alien no less wages
than those usually received by British en-
ployes for similar work, that he is pre-
pared to repatriate the alien if required
to do so, and that no labor will be dis
placed by the engagement of the for
eigner in question.
Beside such requirements, our immigra-
ton law and the statute prohibiting inn
portation Of labor under contract look
pretty tame.

Murder for Lone's Sake

TT threatens TO become Epidemic and. as
L ii is psychological, the matter of stop
ping it is most difficult.
The thing started when French worn-
an calmly shot her tubercular lover and
a crowd cheered when the court freed
her. Later there was similar case in
Poland. Now, we read that an English
Wears sister deliberately shot him, to put
him out of his pain, aud that Colo
RADIO doctor chloroformed his 32-year-old
daughter, for a similar purpose. In none
of these cases was the murderous Gle
ment of malice present but the contrary
was the motive.
1t is the common observation that pc
culiar crimes, and even great fires, mine
and railroad accidents, come in cycles,
and here we have another in murder for
loves sake.

Up Against 1t

THE United States supreme court has
i decided that an enforcement officer
can legally stop and search anybody's auto
for liquor without a warrant.
1t may be good law, but where does 1t
leave the autoist? When fellow jumps
oct into the road on a dark night, and
orders you to stop. the chances are as
good that he is bandit as that he is an
officer. Speed up, and. if it is an officer,
he'll take shot at you. II you don't
make the fellow out to be an officer, you
may take chance by running him down.
Cannot there be a supreme court decision
requiring officers to wave flag, q badge,
a flashnght or some other insignia of
office? 1t sure viii roll the perfectly
liquorless autoist to sit like wooden Mo-
hawk for searching by an officer, only to
be searched by measly bandit.

Monkey il, Church
Pastors Exhibit
In Evolution, Rap
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NORFOLK, Va, February 16.-
A monkey, tethered q few feet
from the pulpit as an exhibit
against the evolution theory, cast
quizzical glances over an over.
flowing congregation in the Park
Avenue Baptist Church here last
night, while the Rev. DR.. Floyd
T. Holland preached on Man or
Monkey"
The climax came when the
monkey was held aloft in the
pulpit, stern finger thrust toward
him. and the pastor challenged
anybody in the church to stand up
and concede common ancestry
with the simian. Nobody stood
up.
The minister explained that his
theme, with the live exhibit from
the zoo. was prompted by the in
PRODUCTION of bill in the North
Carolina Legislature to prohibit
teaching of the evolution theory
in State-supported schools.
