washington's Police Needs.

If heed is given to the report just
submitted to the Commissioners by
Mai. Henry G. Pratt. superintendent Of
police, and its recommendations are
adopted and carried into effect by
amendatory and appropriative legisla-
ton, Washington will have for the first
time in its history model police force
in point Of numbers and efficiency.
These recommendation are all Of a
character to command general approval
by the community and by the Legisla-
ture. They make for more competent,
q more dependable and more adequate
law-enforcing organization.
In view Of recent happenings. especial
attention should be paid to Maj. Pratt's
report and proposals. The Districts

Selective immigration Approved
But Methods Held Impractical

Sentinel, would admit annually from
any country In the Western Hemisphere
three immigrants for every citizen of
the United States who emigrates to take
up permanent residence there. This
would limit immigration into the United
States to some $4,000 annually. OF
these about $4,000 would be admissible
from Canada and Newfoundland, but
only about 1900 from Mexico. The
measure has much to commend it, since
1t Is manifeStly aimed against the an
nual floods of cheap labor which drift
across the Rio Grande, unlimited by
the same restrictions which apply to
other cheap labor from Old World coun-
tries. We would be making no dis
elimination against Mexico. We would
simply be avoiding an unfair discrimi-
nation against other countries which
have more easily assimilable and more
potentially efficient citizens"
Speaking in favor of the selection of
immigrants, the Manchester Union ar
CUES: Under the present law immi-
grants are admitted to the United
States In the order Of their application.
But frequently there are skilled work
men whose services are needed in
American industries who are far down
on the waiting list, and whose admis-
sion cannot be secured for one or some
times two or more years"
THE faster this country moves in the
direction Of an established 'selective'
system the sooner will it be adjusted
upon basis that has made Canada ia
nous for the high standard of its peo-
pie" in the judgment of the Charlotte
Observer.
This position as to selection is taken
also by the New York Sun. with the
comment: ut does not seem to be an
intelligent arrangement to permit mere
priority of application to admit men
for work at trades already overcrowded
ana at the same time keep out others
for whom there is a useful place In
America. The seniority plan serves in
considerable degree to prevent favorit-
ism, but selectivity on the basis of use
fulness-if properly safeguarded by
careful and unprecedented inquiry
would be a more busineSslike plan"

Bishop James Cannon, jr., clergyman,
hnanc1er and politician extraordinary,
has just set sail for Africa after de-
hvering a valedictory denunciation OF
all his enemies, and proclaiming his
native land to be in a state of whisky
rebellion. He has so timed his trip to
Africa that he runs no danger of en-
countering in the jungles there that
famous congressional lion hunter and
bishop batter, George Holder Tink-
ham, M. G. The latter goes to Africa
only when Congress is not in Ses-
sion. It was only recently that Bishop
Cannon returned from three months in
South America, and last Summer he
was in Europe. In responding to the
high call Of duty in foreign lands, he
leaves the home firing line at most
critical time, If his estimate of the pro-
hibition situation is correct.

Mexican PeOn Is Held
immigration Menace
To tie Editor Of The Star:

To tie Editor Of The Star:
Most interesting is your current story
on immigration. Upon immigration
control depends the future makeup
of our Nations population mass. Each
alien admitted ought to be scrutinized
as the ancestor of future Americans for
the generations to come.
Most Of us give little thought to the
working of the law of differential
births, which tends to displace the pres
ent high-power American stock by only,
too often, low-grade aliens. If q fine
old American family averages three
children and an alien social inadequate
does not hesitate at nine children, in
three generations the score stands q
to 729.
The chief menace today Is the
swarming across the Southern border
OF the Mexican peon, against whom we
have no quota.
