RESTRICTED IMMIGRATION

The greatest need of any country
is a high order Of citizenship. That
fact is beyond dispute. The citizens
of any nation are factors which pre-
scribe to what heights that nation
may hope to rise. On the other hand,
any country in which high standards
of citizenship are forsaken is sure to
decline. History tells this story in
no uncertain language. Nations
which were foremost in the annals OF
world progress have fallen in ruin
when their people allowed their nat
ional vigor to lapse.
Many years had passed before
America began to realize that it was
of utmost Importance to preserve the
fiber of her citizens, by adalflg to that
fiber only such human stock as would
strengthen it, rather than intersperse
it with weakening elements. When
we realize that careless immigration
supervision during past years had
permitted too much human dross to
seep into the melting pot of Ameri-
can civilization, we determined that
from that time forward eternal vigil
lance should be our watchword.
The knowledge has come to our
national mind that social and eco
nomical dangers lie in tide of immi
grafton which is not vigorously CEN
sored. The injustice has been a
double one-to the native American
and to the newcomer; and the con-
gress has wisely limited the admis-
sion Of aliens seeking opportunity and
employment among us, says Harry E.
Hull, Commissioner General of Immi-
grafton.
Without such limitations we should
have been soon submerged in social
decay; and our employment ranks
would have grown to distressing pro-
portions, to say nothing of the eco
nomic waste and expense of con-
tributing to the upkeep of many
groups who We're not yet ready to
enter fully into our national life.
Physical, mental and moral detectives
have also been put under ban by the
restrictive immigration laws, thus
lessening our responsibility to society
IN general for tie type of people and
the kind of citizens which cast the
mold of cur national life.
And thus we have begun to pre-
serve the standards of American
civilization by enacting immigration
laws of exclusion, kindly tempered,
but disqualifying certain types of i'm
migrant aliens who would, if admit
ted, become a lasting menace to many
of the things which we hold most
dear.
Our immigration laws, as they
stand today, cover two general classes
of aliens; First, those whom we ex
clude, regardless of nationality, be-
cause of some disqualification, mer-
tai, moral, physical or racial; second,
those who are natives of countries up
on which we place numerical re-
striction coming in excess of those
quotas.

of the nineteenth centuries When takes into account the important part Massachusetts, Connecticut and other New England States have played in American history and development would expect the Congregational Church to be of the largest religious organizations in the country instead of having only a handful of little more than 700,O00 members. The intol- erant fight of it's clergy to destroy Jeffersonian Democracy and to dominate the Nation to have all governmental policies weighed and marked by the standards of New England puritanica and economic concepts, probably more than anything else, stunted it's growth.
 The people of the country must be free from church domination if it is to continue to grow and develop eulturally and materially The sphere of the church is to the Christian religion by preaching the gospels. It has proper place in the political affairs of the country, and failure to recognize that principle cannot fail to react disasrously upon the church
 itself.

AUTOMOBILE MAN FOR TOURISTS
 AND ROADS.

A. S Eldrdge Seattle automobile man, sees great things to come to Alaska from the fast developing tourist business in the Territory And he, naturally, notes the part that good roads will play in the continued growth of the traffic He compliments the Government because it already IS expending large sums in road construction.
 There is no doubt about the great benefits that will come with the tourist traffic If IS now contributing largely to the Territorys good. The volume of the tourist travel will grow with more road building, and the per capita benefit will increase The more road building we have the longer tourists will remain in the Territory

Such is the general sense of the perfect work of prohibition in Hoosierdom that the Democratic candidates for Governor and Senator, it has been said, will leave the subject alone in their canvass Dwellers in the deboshed East have loved to think of the success of the Indiana experiment, noble in motive, If official Republican morality there has been little loose, what of it?

THE STEESE HIGHWAY.

The Alaska Board of Road Commissioners did an appropriate thing when it named the road connecting Fairbanks and the Yukon River at Circle City "Steese Highway" in honor of Gen. James G. Steese, for years President of the Commission, and the father of the project Shat now bears his name
 The name of Gen steese will have an i'm portant place in the history of the development of Alaska No one gave any pioneer sec ton of the United States more faithful eff cient service than he gave this Territory for the many years that he at the head of the Alaska Road Commission. Some day there should be monument at the capital of Alaska for Gen. Steese to stand beside of Gen. Richardson, father of the Road Commission, to commemorate the memory of good friends and faithful public servants for Alaska.
 The resolution naming the Steese Highway and the preamble setting forth the reason for the action, adopted Monday and printed in The Empire that day, are worth reprnting, and are as follows:
 Whereas, on this, the first anniver sary of the relief of Gen. James c. Steese, U, S. Army from his Presidency of the Board of Road Commissioners for Alaska it is deemed fitting and proper that the present Board of Road Commissioners should review the valu- able and efficient service that has been rendered to the Territory of Alaska by that able officer during his seven years of tenure of office from 1920 to 1927, to-wit
 The construction or rehabilitation of 492 miles of wagon road 100 miles of tram 739 miles of sled road, and 3.S21 miles of trail in addition to the mileage that already in existence in 1920. (This represents net gain of 5,153 miles of passable overland routes.)
 Whereas, it is becoming daily evident that the sound judgment, the intelligent foresight and the keen vision demonstrated by Gen. Steese in the lection and construction of these arteries of travel have resulted in network of overland transportation facilities that will inevitably lead to sound and last ing development of the resources of this Territory; and,
 Whereas it is deemed fitting that some permanent memorial of the work of Gen Steese should be officially in- corporated into the public chronicles of the Territory of Alaska; and,
 Whereas, in view of the fact that the important highway from Fairbanks to Circle was originally conceived by and almost entirely constructed under the direction of Gen Steese, it is deemed appropriate that this route should be named in his honor, to serve as a last ing reminder of the services rendered to Alaska by the aforesaid Gen steese;
 Therefore Be It Resolved, that from and after this date, the highway from the northern city limits of Fairbanks Alaska, to the banks of the Yukon Riv- CT at Circle, Alaska, shall be known as the "Steese Highway" in tribute to Gen. James Gordon Steese, President AL aska Road Commission, 192O-1927 and this highway shall hereafter be so designated in all official communications

On the other hand Canada uses only about one-seventeenth the amount consumed in the United States. Canada exports most of her product and the United States imports nearly two million tons in year.
