AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER
IN MEMORIAM
By custom and appointment,
a day is set apart in memory
of the nation’s brave dead and
in acknowledgement of their
enduring service to the living.
In this tribute our thoughts
and hearts have equal share. ;
The perspective of time gives j
us to know that the wars of j
the past have won for us the
peace of the present and that
the strife of causes and convict
ions, now scarce remembered,
bears fruit today in the great
ness of a nation. At the same
time our hearts recall the sac
rifice of those who died in war
for a victory they would not
see.
It is not the nature of heroes
to look ahead to the gratitude
of posterity. Nor do those who
have played their gallant part
in history now need our praise ;
or tribute. It is ourselves who i
need the day of observance.
It is for our own sake that we i
confess again that in a great
cause men will fight and die.
It is in acknowledgement of
our country’s right to our
strength and devotion that we
on that day salute those who
have served her without stint
or measure.
In countless communities
Memorial Day will draw our
citizens together to lift again
the flag of national faith. In
countless homes will be re- j
called a bitter loss, mercifully j
mellowed by time and by the !
belief that brave men do not j
die in vain.
Briefly our memories awake
the past, from which we turn
again to the hopeful future,
pledging the strength of the
present to the service of the
land of our fathers.

PROPOSAL FOR
EXCLUSION OF ALL
IMMIGRANTS
The tremendously rapid in
crease of population in the
United States is again forcing
upon the nation the imperative !
need for a closer regulation, if 1
not actual suspension, of immi- i
gration, for a period at leact. 1
Representative Albert John
son, of Washington, in a recent j
statement in Congress, asse:fe
ed that the population of the i
United States is increasing nc e
at the rate of one every twenty :
seconds, three a minute, 180 an !
hour, 1,500,000 a year.
“What are you going to do I
about it?” he asked. “You can- |
not solve this question simply
because some people think
they can bring in a little cheap
er labor.”
Mr. Johnson voiced the opin
ion that the public wants no
more immigration. “In my
opinion, gentlemen,” he said,
“this matter is marching along
so fast that this chamber, in '
its desire to point the way, I
might just as well take a bold ;
tep and advocate a suspens-!
ion from all countries, with the
exception of certain close rel-,
atives, wives, children, fathers
and mothers. I think this is an
inevitable step.”
Senator Hugo C. Slack, of Al-.
ibama, has also gone on record ;
as an advocate of closer irnmi-1
gation restrictions and has in-;
Produced a bill in the senate;
providing for suspension of all
immigration for a period of
five years.
With an army of from three
o four million unemployed
:onstant!y pointing the necess-'
ty for more opportunities for
abor to find employment it is j
ipparent that the nation is fast
ipproaching a most undesir-1
able situation if nothing is done
o preserve the national oppor
unities for our own people.

SERVICE COUNTS
One's life should not be meas
ured by time, but by service,
ts history should not be so
nuch a record of his words as
if his acts. Its influence is not
n proportion to his years, but
to his righteousness. He has
been of service to his fellows
to the extent that his deeds
have been constructive, it is
not the evil things that he has
refrained from doing but the
good things he has done that
prove his value to the world.
Fositiveness on the side of
right gets him somewhere. It
builds, it lifts, it pulls, it puri
fies and ennobles. Quiescent
good is not a force for right.
It does no more good than it
does harm—not as much.
Action is as imperatively de
manded in mental and spirit
ual things as in material. It is
not he who offers no discourag
ing words who cheers and
comforts., but he who speaks
the word of encouragement.
Keeping silent when a friend
is overwhelmed with grief
does not comfort him. It is the
friendly hand, upon his should
er, the sympathetic word in
his ear, the act of helpfulness
in his behalf that means some
thing to him.
Tlie negative man is a failure.
He may pull back, but those
who pull forward carry his
weight. He is a consumer, but
not a producer. He uses the
light, but creates none. He
slakes his thirst, but refuses
to go to the well for water
The life of service is the hap
py life.
Just for Fun
Many a promising young man
i turns out to be a man who
j keeps on promising.
She: “I thought sure that he
would marry one of the twins.”
He: “No; he said if he could
n’t have an exclusive model he
wouldn’t have any.”

Saelsman: “How much is Bill
Jones good for?”
Credit man: “Does he own an
automobile?”
Salesman: “No.”
Credit man: “Let him have
all he wants.”
Eunice: “Algie, why does the
base ball catcher wear a muz
zle?”
Algie.: “To prevent him from
biting the batsman, I guess.”
Come over to the office some
time and hear the song we re- i
cently composed: “You May
Look Like Cut Glass to Some
body Else, But You Look Like
a Crock to Me.”
Mother: “Robert, you're a
very naughty boy. You can go
to bed without your supper.”
Bobby: Well, mother, what
about the medicine I’ve got to
take after meals.”
The chief objection to some
family trees is that they didn’t
stop growing about 80 years
ago.
Sometimes talk is cheap.
Sometimes it isn’t. Often a lit
tle of it costs a man a lot of
money.
About the only inalienable
right a man doesn’t have to
fight for is that of siding with
the majority.
Judge: “You say you have
known the defendant here all
your life?” Tell the jury
whether in your opinion he
would be guilty of stealing the
money.”
Witness: “How much was
it?”
He had just stolen a kiss.
“Don’t you know any better
than that?” she demanded in
dignantly.
“Sure,” he replied. “But they
take more time.”

One great trouble about poli
tics seems to be that the fellow
who has made a failure of his
own business feels that he is
well qualified to hold a public
office—and all too often he
gets it.
