The squirrels and the humble bees
Are having quite a lark.

SIR WILLIAM HIGGINS
By Arthur Dew. Carpenter

Sir William Higgins, an English
astronomer Qs24-l910), was a pio-
neer in the chemical analysis OF
the stars by use Of the sp~ectroscope.
He made a careful study in 1864, OF
a few bright stars, and positively
identified the lines Of sodium, mag
nesium. iron. hydrogen and other
elements. These chemical sub
stances Higgins determined by the
black absorption lines in the spec
trum. He also made chemical n
alysis Of comets: he made q spec
troscoic investigation Of planetary
and diffuse nebulae; and applied
the spectroscope in determining the
radial velocity OF light. In 1880
Higgins in England and Draper in
America, introduced photography
IN getting stellar spectrums.

CANADIAN IMMIGRATION.

In view of the objections that have arisen in quarters to the proposed legislation regulating immigration from the Western Hemisphere nclud- ing Canada it is worth while to consider the fol- lowing facts
 Regulation of admission from Canada is already in operation Every Canadian who comes over the line to reside already has to account for himself and pay a tax and must conform to numerous immigration requirements as to character, freedom from disease liability to become public charge etc Moreover we make no objections if Americans have to do the when they go to Canada There s therefore, no principle violated in further regulating Canadian immigration and there are several good reasons for doing
 The relations between Canada anc ;ne United States are model for the rest of the world, and Canadians, when they come the line, make best citizens. Nevertheless, two separate and independent countries, and friendly relations going to be helped rather than hindered, by frank recognition of that fact and of its conse- quences.
 It is not desirable to regulate immigration from the Western Hemisphere except in terms applying to all countries and regulation is necessary
 We have most serious unemployment problem affected especially by Mexican immigration. The whole standard of living of working population and the prosperity of many of our industries, are being seriously affected both directly and indirectly by the unlimited importation of Mexican labor This labor, penetrating into nearly all parts of the country, is driving down wages and is causing widespread and increasing unrest, and unemploy ment. It is desirable to limit this immigration as we have limited European immigration, in a way that will not appear to cast any stigma on our Southern neighbor. bill has, therefore, been introduced applying quotas to all countries of the entire Western Hemisphere
 By aloting to any country in this Hemisphere to which Americans emigrate, an addition to its quota based the numbers of Americans so emi- grating. the bill introduced accomplishes what is needed without materially affecting the amount of Canadian immigration for Americans go into Can ada in large numbers and they do not go into Mexico to any great extent.
 No piece of legislation is needed, and those who may be inclined to oppose it should remember that by doing they not helping Canada but seeking to profit by the exploitation of cheap labor at the sacrifice of all the rest of us whether workers or employers Our friendship with Canada is in danger.

The New Planet.
(NeW York World.)

Some time ago, when Einstein announced new
 theory, many of felt twinge of regret that our limited mathematical knowledge prevented us from understanding it and that our limited physical knowledge prevented us from understanding what it was supposed to explain. Here was something which few men said was of the most impor- tant scientific hypotheses in generation; yet so far as the majority of us were concerned had no idea what it and idea what it was about. Something of the regret will be felt by the average man, imagnes, at his inability to un- derstand the calculations by which the late Percva Lowell of Harvard University able to prog

 since, in science, many of the most important dis coveries made in precisely the way that Dr. Lowell made his physicist concludes that there

VOTING DEPENDS ON REGISTRATION

The ballot is the most precious privilege of the American citizen It is the instrument by which organized government is made to function, the basis of government, good, indifferent and poor. The kind depends entirely on the extent of the interest in it and the intelligence with which the instrument is used. It is the medium through which the citizen expresses his views on how the govern ment has been and will be conducted
 Once each year the people of Juneau have an opportunity to express themselves on the municipal administration. This year it next Tuesday. But not every citizen exercise that privilege. In fact only those who take the trouble to go to the City Clerks office and register before Saturday at 9:30 D. m will be permitted to do so No matter how well qualified from residence, education, ex- perience and ownership of property to vote, unless the resident registers, he surrenders the privilege and forfeits the right to voice in the government of his city
 Voting is all important. Registration for the City election is equally so, because the first is i'm possible without being preceded by the second act.

ment was bitterly assailed by many Senators proved his courage in the face of the harshest kind of criticism from of his colleagues. The bill as passed by the Senate may not be the sort that the general public wants But it is nearer the kind that Senator Grundy was after than it was before he took office which is probably more pleasing to him.
 And the public is pleased too, through possibly for different reason Tariff consideration has held attention of the Senate to the exclusion of other very important matters far too long. Supply bills carrying funds for all kinds of Governmental activi ties, usually approved by the President long before this time, are still awaiting hearing. Much public business is proceeding under bare headway on that account. With the tariff out of the way for time at least the Senate can now turn it's attention to some of these matters.

Purported Cures.
(Seattle Times.)

The purported discovery by two California doc tors of cure for cancer has aroused the hopes of the afflicted everywhere. They are ready to sacri- flee their worldly possessions and to stake the pro- ceeds on the chance that the report is true. They believe because they wish to believe and impatienty brush aside the prudent admonitiop of clear headed medical to await more definite proof So many times have widely proclaimed therapeutic discoveries proved disappointing that those who risk everything on unsupported rumor are inviting dis aster.
 who suggest caution regarded as killjoys and unreasonable doubters Even the victims who later discover the advice to have been sound feel resent ment. The occasional persons who needs a timely warning may have feeling of relief that he es- capped, but his thanks seldom or never are profuse
 There is no disposition here to compare the California cure with supposed discoveries that have failed of results There is little evidence to base an opinion either for or against the treat ment, yet it is we'll to recall some of the announce ments that have raised false hopes and resulted in great suffering and economic loss.

 The list could be expanded to great lengths Hardly year passes but what somebody an- nounces remedy for of the major scourges In receiving these reports the public would do well to be cautious The California cure will be tested scientifically and if it has merit the world will have its benefits.
