Opposes immigration

In this connection it is interest
ing to note that Hoover raised no
issue except with regard to immi-
grafton. All other aspects of his
program will find hearty support
regardless of party, but when it
comes to immigration, his attitude
is different from that of the Demo-
cratic candidate. He believes that
the present restrictions should be
maintained.
In this he is not only supported
by vast majority of labor leaders,
but by still vaster majority of the
American people. Nor is the opinion
based wholly on economic reasons.
Outside of the fact that unre-
strained immigration would tend to
cheaper labor and reduce wages, it
is commonlysFegarded as even more
undesirable from a social stand
point.
The war revealed nothing so dis
tinctly as the fact that we had
allowed more people of foreign
birth to enter this country than we
could assimilate. That instead OF
becoming Americans in spirit and
eNtttude, they were forming COM
munities which perpetuated the ira
ditions and ideals of their respective
countries.
While that may not constitute a
reflection on them or their patriot
ism, it represents burdens and han
dicaps of which we have a right tc
relieve ourselves.

Gao Rule Fails

Inmates of the Maryland State
prison at Baltimore asked permis-
sion to air their grievances in pub
lie. Being refused, they engaged in
an all night riot After that large
portion of them went on strike,
though warned that they could not
eat if they did not work.
If prisoners feel that they have
grievances why not let them talk it
out and then deal with them as the
merits of the case suggest? The idea
of gag rule even in a penitentiary
has its disadvantages.
For one thing there seems no need
of muzzling men simply because it is
felt they have no just cause to COM
plain. The safest and quickest way
to remove such a cause is to give it
the air Discipline was never hurt
and never will be by letting men
talk in an orderly way.

Pledges Labor Aid

Herbert Hoover leans to basic
principles rather than patent rene
dies. This was brought out clearly
in his Newark address. Instead of
settling labor troubles, as they are,
he believes in developing such a sit
uation as would prevent them which
is not only scientific but good sense.
His idea of increased wages short
ened hours and reduced prices
through the larger use of machinery,
is hardly original, but few of our
statesmen have had the courage or
1hility to express it so clearly.
If the Republican nominee in 1880
or even 1896, had said what Hoover
said at Newark, he would have been
classified as mentally deranged.
Nothing about our progress is more
surprising than the way so-called
conservatives have been converted
by so-called radicals.

Smith Goes in Luxury

Governor Smiths trip to the West
is disappointing. What he says re-
garding farm relief was not only
Offset but stultified by the luxuri-
GUS manner in which he Travelled.
Deluxe trains do not accord with
a sympathetic understanding of the
farmers plight. 1t is not only Curl
GUS but surprising that Governor
Smith should abandon his plain
and homely methods on this par
ticular occasion.
One wonders where. he got the
idea of conveying his sympathy ITO
western farmers in what has been
described as the swankiest special
train ever assembled. 1t is his
right, of course, but it looks like
poor politics. More than that, it
looks like a different Governor
Smith than the people have learned
to admire.

| II knoxville. Tenn, Sept. 49,
N Having swept over the West
Indies and paid Florida an unwel-
come visit, the tropical storm passes
out to sea TO die away off Cape
Hatteras.
1t is not minimizing the disaster
in other sections to say that the
people of Porto Rico have been
hardest hit, and that their relief
should be our immediate concern.
Their economic condition and man
ner of life makes misfortune pc
culiarly severe. The storm not only
leaves them without food and shell
ter, but without work.
Their homes have been wrecked,
their crops ruined and their COM
munities demoralized. The situation
they face calls for more than tenn
porary aid. To a measurable ex-
tent they must be rehabilitated.
In this connection 1t seems proper
to call attention to the indifference
which has characterized our atti-
tude toward them ever nee they
came under the Stars and Stripes.
Notwithstanding that Porto Rico
has been part Of the United States
for thirty years, too little has been
accomplished in giving her people
the blessings of that prosperity to
which we point with pride.
They still are hopelessly poor in
comparison with any section of the
United States. They know nothing
about high wages or what we call
the American standard of living.
Their poorly constructed homes and
tiny farms not only formed a weak
bulwark against the wind, but leave
them nothing with which to make
a new start.
The American people might we'll
accept the devastation of Porto Rico
as call to do something of perma-
nent value for her development.
