CURRENT COMMENT
“Far Relief Bunk.”
(Ohio State .Journal.). ;
What this country needs is more
self-reliant, citizenship, used, to face
and solve its-own- problems. Among
th4 things it emphatically does not
need are more federal bureaus, more
itlicial inspectors, more restrictions
upon u<%scnal liberty, or individual
intiative and- responsibility, more spe
cial favors, mare taxes, to support hu
’•eauerats..and their, expanding organ
izations. If this Congress, should
check*, the .drift toward paternalism,
start. ic> withdraw special, favors in
stead of providing more,-frown, tm
fuither applications of the bureau
cratic, salve when -what is needed is
the knife,.it. would make glorious his,
tolly. It won’t, of lourse. Politica
necessity., as-.it. is called, stands in th<
was," But we wonder; how it would h<
if some great man,. some great lead

tumult. '-‘To nell with political neces

day, perhaps,, that will happen anc

from field and factorf, from market

To Alienize America
(■Atlanta i'onstitution.;
This issue of immigration is a fight
oetween the American native and nat
uralized citizens- and those of our
citizens who are foreign-born and
wish to bring.- over to this country as
many of their hungry relatives and
friends in European lands as our laws
will allow; -
Arid that is just the great argu
ment why the number of European
refugees to this country should be as
drastically cut down by the logical
consequences of the national origins
quota basis.
We nave more foreigners, unnatur
alized- and declaring that they do not
intend to become citizens in the full
sense, than we can assimilate in the
nert half century.
The best interests of the nation de
mand that it shall be kept as homo
geneous as it was at its commence
ment: The object of the national
origins quota basis is designed to re
store those proportions of native-born
to the foreign-bom. It is a genuine
ly Iwise and conservative proposition,
and congressmen should be wary as
to inow they keep open the present
floodgates for immigrants to pass
through intb our population.
Virtue From Atrophy.
(Detroit Free Press.)
Dr. James Papez, “curator” of a
collection of fifty brains, has been ex
nnrning the one formerly used by the
late Dr. Burt G. Wilder and thinks
thdt be h?s discovered why pr. Wil
de* bated tobacco. Dr. Papez says
;hdt‘the part of Dr. Wilder’s brain
where the olfdctory nerve lay was
*ttt>phied so that he could not appre
i a good thing when he smelled it.
'■rWkidid dvdttrtion that. all., .who
dislike tobacco and fight against its
use. have detective olfactory equip*
monte., is untenable, the report of the
Cornell professor does conve ya rath*
er timely reminder that superior vir
t-ue, particularly, when it takes the
form of a finicky anxiety over .other
people’s personal habits and customs...
is not necessarily evidence of superior .
moral perception, or extraordinary
virtue. It may. quite as . likely be the
j result of a physical defect or limita
tation. . We recollect, for example,
that somebody or other .once said, “A.
great deal, of virtue is the result of
poor blood circulation.” And there is
•nor* truth-in the remark than some
people may like to believe.
“Prohibition Murders.”
( Atlanta .Constitution.
Ah important legal question, atfect
ing the libert yand life of the citizen,
is now being seriously discussed
throughout the country.
It -centers in the', demand for a
definite and conclusive decision as to
the right o f officers of the law to
kill a person they are pursuing upon1
■iusrpieion that he is violating a law.
Heretofore in English and Amer-j
ican law it. has been a.. well-estab-'
lished principle of the criminal law.!
in regard to crimes mala prohibita,!
that a.fleerag misdemeanant, may not
j. be shot down to prevent his escape.
I It has been only in cases of open, no
! torious, anl not secret crimes, that an.
I officer would be justified.™ killing the '
i felon to prevent, his...escape; but the
I doctrine, has not until, lately, in pro
i hibition, cases, beerreextended to cover,
j any and all cases of . crimes mala
' per se. .
|> The doctrine that a . (wohibition
i agent may kill any. person refusing to j
l obey his* halting, hail, seeing him only !
as a stranger on the highways is not.t
only dangerous to the common life of
the community, but is intensely re-1
pugnant to every, sense of justice and
- the orderly enforcement of the- laws. \
>• There is urgently needed a plain
- decision of the high .Courts that such
• killings as..those in Washington City j
and in Virginia recently by prohibi
tion road.agents are. as Congressmans
Brand calls.them, “plain murders,”

Marion Talley is quitting grand'l
opera, to go into the farming busi-j
ness. Her familiarity with :.notes*
will come handy.—Marshall County

There is much speculation as to

know why she did, but it’s a fine ex

Alaska’s College.
Prior to 1924 for several years the
Bureau of Mines maintained a sta
tion at Fairbanks. Under a co-oper
ative agreement between the Bureau
of Mines and the Alaska Agricultural
College the station was transferred
to the College in 1924. In a letter to
President Bunnell, Mr. B. D. Stewart,
supervising engineer, says: “My
records-show that the transfer to the
College of the testing kork that was
formerly done at the Bureau of Mines
station at Fairbanks resulted in the
release of funds that were subse
quently available for mining investi
gations and inspection work in Alas
ka in the approximate sum of $16,500
annually.”
Not To Be Put Down.
Miss Amy Wren, the first Woman

A heckler, one night in .Brooklyn, i
broke in on an address that she was'
making.
, “Don’t yon wish -yon were a man? ’!'
he yelled.
“Don’t you?” said Miss Wi en,- and ■
went right on with her argument.
Another?, time, In the course of are
other address, a young man yelled:.!
“Hey,-doh’t' you- think mothdrs
Ought to' stay home with their chib
dren?”
“I think,” said Miss Wren, “that,
children ought' to stay home with,
their mothers.” And she went right
on with her argument as before; •

Mrs. Storm smiled,

said* .'.‘as when some pretty girl ■ is
