Wanhsien, the boats were boarded by

The arms were, therefore, turned

More bad news for the imperialists

o. most Of the five provinces on the
lower Yangtze. Sun, at British be-
hest, declared war on the Cantonese
when the latter showed their strength
by routing WI Pei-fu at Hankcw.
The Cantonese replied with an ulti-
matum to Sun to get his troops out
of the province of Kjangsi. Now the
report is that the Cantonese advance
against Sun has taken the city of
Pingkiank, 100 miles west of Nan
chang, the capital of the province.
The troops of Sun are retreating in
disorder toward the capital. WI Pei

Comertown, Sept. Is, 1926.
Dear Mr. Editor:
In looking over your paper of Sep
tember 3, we ComertOwn people read
fer the second time the annual fnan-
cial statement and wonder why, with
all that big pile of money, the heavy
taxpayers north and west of Conner
town can't have three miles of road
that we have been crying to high
Heaven for for the last ten years.
Just come out and see, anyone, where
our big wise heads throwed in 1900
dollars or more on what is known as
the smugglers' trail-the trail that
no one ever had the CUTS to trail, only
Russian thistles and yellow mustard.
Ibsen, himself, wouldn't risk his life

ming or ending-a road going from no
place to nowhere.

work and reports in what they have

Considering Tuesdays national
election from strictly political
viewpoint, there is little consola-
tion for the Republicans. The
defeat of Senator Butler in Mas
sachusetts pointed to as the great
est of all the Democratic { victor

was President Coolidge's personal
candidate. He was seeking re-
election in the Presidents own
state. There has been much talk
of a third term candidacy for
Mr.. Coolidge. A victory for But
Ter would have strengthened that
candidacy. But there are many
stand-pat Republicans who do not
want Coolidge to have a third
term and who voted against But
Ter for that reason. And un-
doubtedly they have accomplished
what they set out to dol The
Grand Old Party will nominate
the man it think can win and it
will not be Calvin Coolidge.

Smith, elected governor for a
fourth time, carried with him
Robert F. Wagner, who defeated

victory undoubtedly was due to a
desire of New York City's east
side to keep Smith in the presi-
Dental possibility class. So while
these represented two Democratic
victories, they had more of the
personal element in them than Of
the national issues.

Excluding Good Citizens
(St. Paul Daily Ncws)

The Morse centenary celebration in St. Paul a
year ago and the recent visit Of the prince Of
Sweden to this country brought forth nationwide
praise Of the Scandinavian peoples It was not
merely polite praise 1t was sincere. No class Of
immigrants is more desirable than the Scandnav-
ians. None is more easily assimilated.
And yet the United States will begin on July l,
1927, to make it increasingly difficult for Scandi-
navian immigrants to enter the country in large
numbers.
Under the present law, the annual quota Of mmi-
grants from each country is per cent of the num-
Der of persons born in that country who were resi-
dents Of the United States according to the 1890
census But beginning in July Of next year, immi-
grants are limited to 10000 year. and the num-
Der from each country is based on the population
according to the CENSUS of 1920.
Next year Sweden's quota will be reduced undo,
the regulations from 1861 to 3.O72; that Of
Norway from 6,453 to 2O53; and that Of Denmark
from 2.7Se to 945 The quota from Russia will b
nearly doubled.
Scandinavans throughout the country are bitterl,
protesting and it would seem that their protest il
justified The new citizen from northern Europ,
easily fits into national life His standards ant
ideals not unlike those Of the native-born Amer
ican.
The purpose Of the immigration act Is to exclude
