That the United States in poorly
served by its present immigration laws
Js evident to any who take the trouble
to study the problems of illiteracy, of
undesirable aliens who fail to under
stand or live by the standards of
American life, or who follow the curi
oua methods by which admission to
this country is sometimes obtained
fraud, smuKRlintr, or lack of care on
the part of authority.
Any immigration law, no matter
how justly framed and wisely admin
istered will probably occasionally per
mit injustice and cause sulTerln, but'
there seem to be no real reason why
sufficient discretion cannot bo jfiVen'
proper authority to make humane ex
ceptions to impersonal law, when thcj
law interfers as between man and
wife, mother and child, or son and
motlier. -
A case in point is that of the mother
of "Charlie" Chaplin. Mrs. Chaplin
vas admitted to this country as an
alien, suffering from mental disease
due to shell shock) and permitted to
remain for treatment for a year. When
the year was up she Ix-came subject to
(Importation as an undesirable ulien
regardless of the fact that her inter
nationally famous son, worth wtll overj
a million dollars, was doing all in his
power to make her happy anil com-j
fortable, was providing her with a
home, doctors, nurses, and treatment j
The case is being adjusted. It took
legal lights in the government to do it
It should have needed nothing more
than proper evidence before a com
missioner of immigration. Those who
think that "law is law," regardless of
personal cases, might try imagining
their own mothers in Mrs. Chaplin's
place; perhaps then they will see more
clearly the need not only of intensive1
restriction of immigration, but of hu
manising the administration of such
laws.
wants me to write in thN that you can
change his application on account of

you run cut her out as she died of old
age; or the hoof and mouth disease
which I wish your outfit had if you
don't do something aliout these loans
instead of letting the country go to
hell ail the time.
"Now you fellows fret busy ami an
swer this letter so I know whether I
am going to get this money or not. If
you ain't, say so, so I will try and get
it some, place else. I got a hen setting
in the maillox and it looks like we
would lth Ik? grandmothers before we
would have any mail from your cor
poration stuck under our nose. If you
or Flannigart ain't got time to write,
have one of them fifty-seven varieties
of blondes that the government is
keeping around your office, answer
this. If Flannagan writes, tell him
for me to put his signature on the
same side, with the date and "Dear
Sir;" on the other he will have more
room for details."
"That is a funny thing about my
loan, which I wrote you about as far
as I can see I might just as well be
trying to do business with the Aus
trian government as with the United
States as far as satisfaction goes, as
you only want to loan about enough on
my land and stulT to get me a new set
of ring gears for my Overland, and I
guess if my daughter and her husband
would put in what stufr they have
1 could get enough to put a whip soc
ket in it besides. I don't want to say
nnything to hurt your feelings or Mr.
Fiannagan's either, but it seems to me
like you could do more business and
help out the farmers considerably if
you would have Mr. Flannagan cut
down the size of his signature and in
ciease the size of his loans."
WHERE THE HUMOR LIES
John Flannagan, who heads the war
finance corporation in Nebraska, is a
fenial soul. He weighs close to three
hundred pounds, and although he is
a banker in a comparatively small
town, possesses a sense of humor and
the ability to make an after dinner
talk that is the marvel of all who hear
him. John is uite proud of his sense
of humor. To prove it he has recently ,
jriven to the press some letters from
farmers who have applied for loans'
and aren't u,uite satisfied with tha
treatment they have received. He
calls them "interesting reading" and
in his inimitable way, he is probably
getting other people to agree with
him. John has a way of telling a story
that can't be resisted.
But is this matter of complaints
such a joke? Of course, we read in
the daily newspapers every now and
then of the vast sums that are being,
distributed to ranchers and farmers
and of the tremendous godsend to
agriculture that the war finance cor
Ioration is these days, but when you
stop to think it over, how many ranch
ers and farmers do you actually know
who have been getting this money.
You know a number of them who have
Applied, but how many have got their
hands on it. Some of the prominent
livestock men in Box Butte county
aren't enthusiastic when the war fi
nance corporation is mentioned some
of them the same fellows who were
hailing the plan with delight a few
months ago. ... 1
, Letters lihe the following, while they
possess a certain amount of humor to
one who is "sitting pretty" with money
in the bunk, may be deadly serious to
the smaller fry who are writing them,
and who are thinking a lot of things
that they dont write. Here are some
extracts that Mr. Flannagan thinks
are "brimfull of sarcasm and drollery."
There's a laugh here, unless you hap
pen to be in the same bout as the
fellow who wTote it:
"Why in Hell don't vou fellows do
something about my loan or answer
my letters? 1 have written you four
or live times and my wife says 1 might
just as well mail them diiect to the
Dead Letter office for all the good
iney ilo me. Now you fellows get
imsy or you can bet your lire you
UTn't get a vote out of this piiecinct
next election and you and Flannagan
will be back working for somebody
vho can tell you where to head in at
instead of sitting around them tables
playing golf all the time while the
country is going to hell on account of
just such fellows as you.
"My neighbor, August Korcek,
ONE IN A HUNDRED
(The Lincoln Star)
One of the privileges which comes
with mature years is the license to
give advice to youth. In school house,
assembly hall and auditorium countless
words are spoken these days to young
men and women who are about to be
gin the great adventure of life. The
commencement day speaker is in full
bloom. How seriously or how lightly
the counsel of the orator is taken re
mains a matter for speculation. Usual
ly the graduating student is pretty
well filled up with serious thoughts
and has his mind made up as to how
he will go out and conquer the world.
Here, in substance, are the words
of one university president which
should make every young man pause
and meditate: "At sixty-five years of
age only one person out of a hunderd
is rich, four are well-to-do and five
are self-supjwrting. All the rest are
dependent uppon some one else." It
sounds like an insurance agent's argu
ment, but facts are facts.
Whatever else a young man may
plan as he leaves his alma mater, he
should first of all adopt a policy of
thrift which he shall adhere to all the
rest of his life. It would be a happy
circumstance of the young men began
their lives with no higher ideals in
mind than to amass a fortune, but it
is equally bad to begin life without
realizing the value of saving.
Men do sometimes succeed, men do
occasionlly climb to the top rung of
the ladder who nre negligent of their
finances, but such men achieve in spite
of their financial short comings and
even then, their success would be all
the greater if they had practiced the
first principles of thrift. A high
school education or a college educa
tion will mean little or nothing if the
young man does not set down a his
first rule in the school of life the
necessity of saving.
THE CIIUHU! ATTACKED
(Capital Nnivj.)
A sinuli he.nl'inp in the daily paper
tells nothing beyond tiie context of
the atticle it hea-ls. But h dozen of
them may tell (iiite another story.
For instance con.-ider this collection,
made from four papers within two
days:
"Charge Mm:.'? Ridicule Pastors;
Higher Critis Take Church Unawares;
Baptists Want Books Free of Evolu
tion Error; Science Conflicting With
Revealed Religion; Clergy Declare Di
vorced America Doomed; Deacons Ob
ject to Church Unity; Pastor Leaves
Church for Business; Explains Contra
dictions in Bible; Dancing Enemy of
Chinch; Flappers Cause of Irreligion."
Evidently there is a cry in Mace
donia, which comes from someone hav
ing toes heavily stepped on!
It would seem, on merely causual
analysis, that the church which start
ed with a carpenter and some fisher
men two thousand years ago and man
aged to live through the destruction of
Rome, the evils of the Dark Ages, the
debauchery and crime of a few hun
dred years ago on the continent, the
world war and the spirit of unrest of
this year of grace, 1!22, can probably
continue to exist, whether the movies
make fun of pastors or not, whether
higher critics criticize or not, whether
Baptists or Methodists or any other
wrt think evolution is an error or not,
whether the various denominations are
unified or lemain divided, whether
Americans get divorces or not, wheth
er the Bibical contradictions be ex
lained or not, anil whether we have
flappers dancing or staid!
There is probably something wrong
with the church. I here is something
wrong with most things. Nothing hu
man is perfest, and the church is a
human institution, ministering a di
vine truth. But the "something
wrong" would seem much more to be
the man who thinks that a flapper or
divorce, or higher criticism or unity
or the lack ot it can definitely inter
rupt the march of true religion, than
the various, sundry and almost always
puerile causes they assign for any fail
ure of the church to be pcrtectl

KEEPING A NATION FRIENDLY
(State Journal)
A San Francisco man applies to
Frank Harrison for a concession to
take a jazz band to the exposition at
Rio Jamerio next fall. Mr. Harrison
tolls him that there is no chance, and
add.-:
"I cannot refrain from the observa
vation, however, that Brazil is a
friendly nation to which we owe every
demonstration of good will, and that
ox "jazz' is not known down there it
would be nothing short of an un
friendly act to introduce such so-called
music to an unoffending people. Cer-
tailv we would not want them to be
lieve that such conglomerations of
foolish sounds represents that musical
taste of the United States."
It may encourage Mr. Harrison to
hear that the demand tor jazz is ue
clining. It is now in such little re
auest that the Chautauqua folks yawn
widely whenever saxophone music i3
mentioned, their programs have un
dergone a great improvement for the
better in the last two or three years,
according to local authority. Jazz and
bunk and amateur music went out to
gether in a bunch. The features that
stay are the very best music, speaKers
who have something to say and know
how to say it, and a limited number
of novelties. This man says that tne
improvement of programs in the last
five cuii. woyhJ ea.-ily measure 100
per cent if any way could be found for
measuring a Chautauqua program.
