LABOR'S IMMIGRATION POLICY. r. of the nux-t constructive contributions marie to current immigration di.cu.s.-lons i.- that of th Arntrican rdTation of Iibor: T2iat th? rovrnment imnu liat ly authorize in lustrlal purvey to ascertain the labor demands of -t'.l our indutricH. the numlcr of days workmen are e mployed pr year in 'ic h industry, the seasons of 'mployment, where and when labor of various !;ind? Ia nvded, and in what amount; and then an Immigration poiicy which, on tho h;iis of thia positive information, would exclude or admii. immit'ranti acrordin? to the industrial needs of the country, and when they were admitted, would see that they rcichcd the localities and ir.tluptricn needing f h m . This tnny he a Sfüish way of handling the problem r. ardiritf th- imjnirrrant trankty as an industrial recruit rather than a prospective citizeu ekinfiT freedom and fortune in this Promised Ind. Hut would it not be far more .mnble, and nlo far more talr to the Immigrant, than the old, chaotic policy that has pretended to welcome the immigrant with Mi"n arms but has really neglected Ii Im, and allowed him to drift into blind competition with American labor, to the disadvantage of both? Admitting immigrants as needed and placing them where th-y belonged would benefit everybody. It would prosper th country and its new-comers alike. The plaji might be worked out in connection with the league of Nations, which is provided with machinery for dealing with labor internationally. Instead of letting raw. unclas-siHed foreigners' com, by hundreds of thousand-', a.s they do now, crowding Into the country and then drifting, the United States would call upon the League labor department for so many thousand iron workers, so many thousand miners, so many thousand farm lahorers. etc. nd receive them j romptly, h'iml-pirkeil and vouched for, and put them at once where they would do the most good. o NEW ERA FOR MEXICO. fln.

It goes without saying that there must bo compensation for American life and property destroyed durinc the turmoil. Just as there musi be assurance of safety for American cltl7 r.s and American Investments in Mexico hereafter. Tt may be expected that the treaty will be submitted to the enate early next yenr. Mexico will gain ns much as the United States. The damage bill will be big and the future guarantees ficvere, but ro injustice will be done to thj our.try or its people, and it will be set at last on a footing making real proirr s;s possible.

CHINA'S PHONETIC ALPHABET. The occidental world commonly regards Japan as the mo r. regressive of tlie oriental countries. Yet China has taken one step which is far in advance of anything attempted by Japan. That is the adoption of the phonetic alphabet. Uornierly the Chinese sy.-tm of writing comprised more than 4 0,0 0 0 separate symbol.-, each representing a different word. In oni-r to read and wrtttj i: wis neces-tary for the Chinese student tJ memorize 3 . ü ö 0 wcrd-sicr. Thi elaborate system hlnuert-d the wide adoption of such modern contrivar.Cfd Of civilization t!ie typewriter, the linotypJ and the telegraph. Several years a'o the Chinese ministry of education appointed a committee to study this problem. The. national phonetic script, cor.-istir.g of enly CO Uletinct characters, was the result. It requires but a few weeks of study to master the use of the phonetic adph.-.bet. Still further reduction of the number of characters Ls exrected. This innovation in Chinese writing brings the pcsnlbiiity of literacy to the humblest inhabitant of the land. Instruction in the new alphabet was nuJi compulsory in all the elementary school last April. In one province of 12.CCO.000 inhabitant-- the governor has ordered that one member in every family muAt be able tj u-e the national script. Other

HARDING'S "BEST MINDS." n of Mr. Harding's pre-r lection promise was that he would summon "the best minds of both parli-s" to consider as hat to do about "an" association for pe.ie. He h'is now summoned 12 men. among whom. th' world is told, are "three democrat s." Three democrats! Here they are: .Ihmes A. Reed of Missouri, bitterest of bitter-enders, arch-enemy of Woodrow Wilson, who was denied a seat in the democratic convention at San Urancisco, and who labored against Gov. Cox !n th. campaign. John K. Shu Ids of Tonnes-, bitter-ender of the peace treaty and consistently against the democratic party's stand on this issue. Atlee Tomerene of Ohio, who by virtue fif hiS lesideneA Mr. Harding probably believes la not likely to be obstreperous to any alarming extent. All three are senators who have long been associated with the president-elect. lie knows lull well that two of them do not, by the wildest stretch of the imagination, ijuallfy to speak for the democratic party on the issue cf the League of Nations. He knows, too, that one of them barely qualifies, if at all, as a democrat. If this is Mr. Harding's conception of the "best minds" of the democratic party, he is amusing or irritating, just as democrats choose to view it.

THE INCOMPLETE DIRECTORY. Apparently most of the people who compile directories' have never heard that the suffrage amendment was ratified, or that housework is now numbered among tho "occupations." Just as for generations past, so nearly all the directories for the coming year list tho males of tho community and the women actively engaged in business, but do not list the wives of the men, nor even the many singlo women who are the heads of households. A commentrr on this lack suggests that it would take little room, and frtviently be of great aid in locating the feminine members of the community. If the wife's given name were listed after her husband's name, tnus: John A. Smith (Reatrlce). Then the old friend or the business acquaintance looking down a list of perhaps 150 John Smith's could locate quickly the desired Mrs. Smith. Tho single, adult woman's name should be listed as a matter of course. The suggestion is practical, and might be extended to telerhone directories as well, the initial of the wife's given and maiden name being substituted for her full name, if that seemed desirable. It is eutomary for the wife in thesK,- days to uso her own name more freely than she did in times past, and such simple methods of identification would facilitate many business and social transactions.

LOOKING TO WILSON STILL .Pros' t Wilson's agreement to undertake personal mediation between the Armenians and the Turks is but a reminder of how he has been .appealed to In practically every diSlcult situation of the world in the past five years. His enemies at home have frequently construed this in no higher light than a tunning effort of "old world diplomats' to unload their unpleasant tasks upon this country. Lot it be construed in whatever light, the occasion of the requests f'r his aid is usually suffering humanity. Today It is the suffering of the Armenians. If nobody else will act, it must be somo satisfaction to the Christianity of America that the president of the United States, broken as he is in health, undertakes to do what he can to answer the cry of humanity. The appeal in this case also Is a reminder th;it while the peace policies of the president have been repudiated by a majority of his countrymen, he still is viewed ty the vast majority of the people of tho globe as the greatest personal force in the effort to end war. Surely in this instanee, with the Christmps spirit rising, he will lind many wishes for success.

DELEGATES AND DINNERS. Being a delegate to anything ia usually a bore. Uither you have to make a response to the address of welcome, or you have to listen to it. And when you get back home you have to make a report, which everyone secretly thinks is surpassingly dull. Hut all those things sink away and become ai naught when you are a delegate to such an affair as the annual meeting of the National Grange, which just closed In Boston. Uor those delegate were taken to the town hall of Concord and there they at2 a Now England boiled dinner. We are going to advocate a law, when wo get around to it, compelling all conventions, in return for the boredom of the delegates, to serve one New England boiled dinner apiece. Convention attendance would be trebled. o When Pros't J'orras of Panama suid he "look to the United States as the Polar Star," was ho considering the fact that that star ha wobbled CUt of its course a littU. and doesn't point true rorth any more? o There can b no question that England, Franc and Italy enjoyed dividing up Turkey, but will other nations be equally satisfied with picking at what Is left over?

More Truth Than Poetry

By JAMES J. MONTAGUE

Tin: oxiiY o.vk of his kind. When bound by labor's cruel chain We've wished and always wished in vain We had a million dollars. Our gift for finance Isn't strong, We knew we'd never make it; But if it ever came along We felt quito sure we'd take it. Uor money means a lifo of ease. Of rare luxurious shirking To do exactly what we please And never think of working Of motor cars and motor boats And mighty games of freeze-out. And spiffy fur lined over-coats To keep the winter breeze out. We never dreamed the time would come When one, with power to choose it Would sternly frown on such a sum And bitterly refuse It. Yet of u Boston youth we hear Who, madder than a hornet, When offered all that coin, can sneer, "Take back your gold; I scorn it." He mav be right to spurn the cash, This" blunt New Kngland scoffer; It may be wrong, it may be rash. To snap at such an offer. His knowledge of the world may be As deep as mine, or deeper. And 'yet most folks will think that ho Is needful of a keeper. (Copyright. 190.)

j The Horoscope

TUFSDAY, DJX. 7. This day's astrological reading points to interesting developments which are forecast becausu of tho splendid mental condition that is born of certain dominant planetary factors. Mercury, under th government of which the mind is placed by tho astrologers, is not only in conjunction with the Moon, but is also in quintlle aspect with Mars, which pives powerful mental stimulus and quickens the faculties, sharpens the wits, and makes for sagacity. keenness, insight. and splendid abilities and initiative. Jupiter and Sol also promise benefits in increase and promotion, though there is a menace of fraud, deception and bad temper. Those whose birthday it is may look forward to an active and interesting as well as prosperous year, but they should avoid quarrels and deception.

JUST FOLKS By EDGAR A. GUEST

A IilTTLi: TIMI-: AT HOMR This life has grown so mixed a thing, with all there is to do. One task treads on another's heels before you're fairly through; It's business in the morning, when 1 read my mail or try, Before the telephone begins into my time to pry. Or visit with a visitor and treat him as a friend. Then hustle to a meeting that I've promised to attend: But nowhere in the scheme of life since I grew up to roam, Seems there to be an hour for me to spend in peace at home. I would not by a word of mine or single hasty act Wound any man who calls me friend I merely state the fact That life has lost its olden charm which long ago It knew. When men could be contented here without a thing to do. But now upon a treadmill that goes ever round and round From dawn to midnight I must trudge for fear that I'll be downed; Upon a schedule I must toll, as ships that ply the foam, Chartered for everything except a quiet hour al home. When dawn nrri.es and over all the shades of night descend ocr-ewhtr. there is a banquet or a show I mui't attend; Into my evening dress I jump, the while my girl and lad Stand by me, as I shave myself, to v:sit w'lh their dad. The eld time father used to tak h'.i children on his, knee. But that's one happy privilege which life denies to mt ; And yet I vow some day we three will share the evening gloam. And I will tell them wondrous tales the night I stay at home. I often fancy I would like to catch some mild disease So I might stay in bed awhile and read what books I please. Some comfortable ailment which to suffer I'd enjoy. With no committees to attend, no phone call.- to annoy A few brief days of perfect peace, too ill to do a thing, Yet not too ill to want to hear the songs the youngsters sing. Could I break up the schedule which compels me now to roam, I'd realize; my fondest dream a lit-
