Instead of a car in every garage and
two chickens in every pot, the latest slo-
gan Is a rose-bush in every garden. We
don't know what political candidate will
grab this off for 1910, but the American
Rose Society now has 1t under It's wing
and Is busy developing the theme. A

saying the fact that the rose Is becoming
more and more our national flower.

Philippine immigration

We hope that broad-minded people In
Japan will try TO understand the action
of the Philippine National Assembly in
adopting its new quota bill. This sets
annual quotas OF 500 for every nation
atty 1t will cut sharply into japanese
and Chinese immigration, and there have
been japanese protests against 1t. The
bill is probably in fact, discriminatory
because, though it treats all hationalities
alike, only those whose immigration Is
large will be affected - namely, the Jap
anese themselves and Chinese.
Yet would the Japanese themselves do
any less, faced with the same situation?
Suppose hundreds OF thousands OF Rus
sian immigrants were pouring into Japan
each year and had done so for many
years, until Japan was faced with the
chance OF becoming Russian country
by sheer force of numbers? Surely they
would be the first to assert the right to
govern immigration into their own coun-
try as they saw fit. Surely, too, they will
see the justice of granting to a neighbor
country right they would insist on for
themselves.

A great many Americans are puzzled at

him or course this is "duck-soup" for
the German press and the German propa-

been a vitality strategic move that pre-
vented the Germans from some fresh con-

We really don't know over here in this

national convention in Philadelphia next

the difficulties they vision in choosing
between such candidates as Thomas
Dewey and Robert Taft, TO mention but
a single pair of hopefuls,
It won't be with the intention OF max
ing Governor Baldwin running-mate for
any of the COP White-hopes, but with the
hope of making him the likelest COM
promise candidate that the Connecticut
delegation goes about selling its man TO
the gathered clans. There Is definitely
within the party in this state move
ment afoot to make Governor Baldwin
available for the presidential nomination
If things get too hot and heavy between
the favorteS in the race. On just such
beginning as this history shows many a
president has been fashioned.
There have been plenty Of efforts made
to line up Connecticut sentiment and
strength for definite candidate. This
state is well up on the alphabetical list
and there's psychology in having u Siz-
able vote polled by the time few states
have been read off on the first ballot.
E!ut the first ballot will show Connccti-
cuts 10 votes for Governor Baldwin and
no one else If National Committeeman

The launching OF the United
States battleship Washington ut the
Philadelphia navy yard on June
will mark an event of prime Inn
portance 10 the nation. II will be
the first battleship launched In this
country In 10 years. Following the
last war, II had been expected that
there would be no great need OF
battleships. but II has taken nations
only n short time TO come TO grips
again. Now. as the Washington is
about to be launched. there Is
speculation whether the super
dreadnaught Is invulnerable and Is
the bulfark of defence that was
once indlsputable. Az least, our
naval officers believe that these
floating fortresses are our best
protection.

always perfectly sure of the iden-

out, II they are confident that TO
