The Border Patrol

We have heard a great deal of comment on the
value of the immigration Border Patrol. Some criti
ticism has been directed at it from the Producers
News, wherein it was stated that the men on the
patrol lust walked around town doing nothing and
drawing down fat salaries for their trouble"
The value of the immigration officers has recent
ly been demonstrated in Plentywood, when they inves-
tigated the citizenship of Alfred Miller.
1t was found by Miller's own statements that he
was not a citizen of the United States; that he didn't
want to become a citizen; and that he preferred to re
main a German. He said that under the constitution,
he had a right to be here and that he had certain
privileges as a political refugee. All this mind you
under the constitution. A constitution drawn by a
grave. a deliberate body of early Americans.
Miller has ever been adverse to the constitution
of the United States. He advocates mass action in
practically every line he writes. Mass action and Com
munism; forces to overthrow the government by
force. That same government under whose ~constitu-
ton he maintains he has certain rights. What are his
rights? Are they as he says, return to Germany
and face a firing squad?"
We believe that no man foreignborn, who is de-
sirable, should be denied citizenship and the full pro-
lection of this wonderful country. Still we cannot see
how a man can demand that protection and at the
same time attempt to tear down its safeguard.
Our country has long been known as the melting
pot of civilization. A place where color. nationality or
religion had little bearing IN the tlnal analysis Oh JUS
tice. A nation founded by men from several countries,
of several religious beliefs, of several semiindepen-
dent states, welded together in a union of strength. A
union that as Lincoln said must be preserved"
To preserve and maintain this union, undesirable
aliens, men who attempt to tear down the constitution,
who by their written and spoken words attempt to
contaminate minds of others, must be eliminated. Thus
we have the immigration Border Patrol. The boys who
walk and ride around and appear to be doing nothing.
They are always on the alert. and when they get on
the trail of an undesirable, or someone thought to be
undesirable, in the vernacular Of the rank and file
they Ego to town"
How the present case viii come out is a matter
of conjecture. The officers will say little Of it. They
are merely Investigating. Truth will out in the end. No
one will be uniustly accused; no one will be unjustly
deported. The boys in uniform and Sam Brown belts
are watchful for that

How To Keep Out of War

If the people of the United States want to keep
their nation out of war they have the opportunity to
do so.
The only way that this country will ever get into
war is for some nation to attack us or for us to initiate
or join in some struggle.
To prevent the first contingency we should have
an adequate army and a navy equal to that of those
who might attack us. Just what the size OF these units
should be will depend upon what others do, the gen.
eral condition of the world and the attitude of other
nations to our own.
To prevent joining some struggle that others be-
gin it is necessary to give up our policy Of neutral
rights, violated by both sides during the World War,
and refuse to lend money to aid either belligerent.
Moreover, it is imperative that our people give up
their idea OF Winding the BUSINESS OF Germany, Mexico,
Great Britain and other more or less civilized areas.
In the unhappy event that the United States starts
a war Of it's own account there Is no way to prevent it.

About Hiring Teachers

1t seems to us that Prof. Frederick Weltzinn, OF
the University of North Dakota, talks considerable
sense in a recent article published in The American
Scholar.
He finds after reviewing thousands Of legal cases,
that ito an alarming extent the administrators Of our
common schools regard a teaching position as a favor
to be granted" and that teachers are put on and swept
off for little or no reason.
In fact, the professor finds that the clerk Of one
board selects "the best lockers" Trustees have been
known to select teachers on the basis Of friendship,
consanguinity and, at times, upon the identity Of the
family with whom the prospect intends to board!

that the men could have written

four OF the letters were mailed We'd

The third quarter of the present
fiscal year, which ended March 81,
ended with the Federal government
showing a deficit of about 2 ,2O0,-
DOC. 900, indicating that for the year
the redink will touch the 5000, OOO,-
900 mark. This would be two billion
less than forecast by the President
In his annual budget message a few
months ago. Two factors explain the
situation. First, there has been a

coholic beverages and the sale of
gasoline, motor cars and other manu-
featured products. In nine months
the Treasury collected about $780,
100000, which Is close to the amount
received in the prosperous days of
l92S-29. In the second place, emer-
gency expenditures of the relief and
recovery program, predicted to run
around $3.50, 100000 a month, have
been just a little than half the
amount.
Third party talk is heard in the
nations capital, with Republicans
and Democrats mainly interested in
deciding how such a development
would affect their own chances. Few
informed persons have any idea that
such an organization can win in 1886
but conceiveably it might alter the
result in a close election, depending
upon which major party furnishes
the majority of the followers of the
new political undertaking. This OBJ

ARIZONA NOTES
Stanley n Tes.

NAAANtA 1A1NFnf has AhHA =
kind and generous friend in
the sudden passing of Will
Rogers.
AS is frequently the case
with great men. America
realizes only after he is gone
what he was. II is doubtful
If Rogers himself ever fully
realized what he meant TO
America.
Rogers was a valuable citi-
zen as well as a popular
comedian. He lightened the
dark days of the depression
for many. As a result of n
vast popularity which was
papers. the talking movies.
and the radio he was closer
20 the American mind and
heart than any other man at
the time of his death. except
possibly President Franklin
u. Roosevelt.
As Rogers popularity was
not founded on politics or a
political career. il was of a
more enduring nature. and
had survived many years of
changing political scenes. IL
would have stood for many
years more.
Rogers combined natural
humor. philosophy. and per-
sonality into a presentation
which was equally well ac-
cepted On the lecture Mat
lorm, on the vaudeville stage
at a banquet table. in n radio
broadcast. in a moving pic
ture play. or on paper. in the
form OF daily and Sunday
syndicated essays. or maya
zine articles Many a public
figure or theatrical man has
mastered a few of these
fields. No other was ever so
university successful.
The talking movies proved
10 be the perfect medium for
reaching the greatest num-
bers of the American public
with the full force Of the per
sonality that was Will Rog-
ers. He kept folks laughing
at themselves at a time when
a too serious view (such as
happened in Europe) would
have led to a revolution and
the. setting up of a bloody
dictatorship.
Perhaps Rogers cannot be
given 100 per cent credit for
saving America in her dark
est hours, but at least he per
sonified and led that typical
American sense of hTmor.
Perhaps he was the most tru-
lv American man of his day.
II Rogers had the chance
TO reach the ear of the Ger
man peple. he could have
laughed Hitler out of office
in one day. Similarly, he
could have demolished
Mussolini's hold on Italy
with a few we'll directed
auips could he have reached
the Italian sense of humor.
The larger European nations
realized that Rogers was a
watchdog who would not
permit them 10 put over any
nonsense on the United
States, as they wished TO do.
OF all current Americans,
European diplomats respect
ed and feared Rogers most.
America is in a sense left
unprotected against Euro
pean propaganda and IN
trigue, now that Rogers Is
gone. He was so quick to
fiatten out with a joke an in
sidious attempt by an Euro
pean power to involve this
country in international
squabbles, or to lull us into
a fancied security against
European sabotage
To many Americans, the
passing of Rogers means
only the loss of an amusing
actor a humorous commen'
tator. a shrewd and love
able character. But there Is
a deeper national and inter.
national significance behind
his going Who will gently
chide us, who will sit on the
corral fence and tell us what
horse we can't ride.
