U. a Senator Wm, J. Harris la cntl
Oo<1 to (hn gratitude of his State and of
4hC entire nntion for llie determined fight
which lie inn tie In the lust Congress for
.the juutsnge of n monstirc to restrict for
eign immigration. The legislation bear
ring upon tills subjecr which finally re-
. celvivl fnvoralde consideration fell far
short of the restrictions advocated by
titnmlor Harris, but it was a step in the
right direction, find more effective meas
ures may be adopted Inter on ns the need
broadens and intensifies. Undoubtedly
there is Intimate connection between
ArorrJca 'a startling crime record and
out enormous foreign-born populution,
made lip In largo part, of the riffraff
,rm() (Undesirables of Europe. Am inter-
,rating light Is thrown upon this subject
by the Bnturdny Evening I’ost In an edi
twin) which appeared In a recent, issue
of Hint widely-read publication, and
which we hike the lltierly of reproducing
'beiow—
According to statistics thorn are in
New York City, year after year, any
where from live to six times ns mnny
homicides lia are reported in London.
<!hicago preserves about tlui same ratio,
for.during the five-year period that end
ed-In 1918 there were 455 murders in
that city as against HK in tint English
capital.
Burglnry scorns to lie a peculiarly
thriving trade on tills side of the water;
for in one recent your Now York had
four times as mnny burglaries ns London,
mid In lllin its crimes of this nnturo
outnumbered those that occurred in nil
Knglnnd and Wales during 1011, 1012
or lOl.'l. Our footpads and strong-arm
men, according to offlcln! ilguros, lire not
lest hold and enterprising than their
brethren of tlie'Jimmy. In 1018, for ex
ample, New York hud Hlfl robberies and
assaults with Intent to rob, whoro Eon
Ion tinil 02, and all England and Wales
together scored only an oven- hundred
Motorcar thieves in this country linvo
raised the volume of the.lr activities to
the rank of ii nourishing Industry. In
1010 the number of nutomobUus stolen
in New York nlonc was 5,5^17 us against
200 in London. Comparing 81. Louis
and Liverpool, which have nbuut the
same population, it is stated that 1,2-11
thefts were reported in the former city
as Mgninst 10 in the later The number
of curs stolen in Detroit was 3,482.
Ouf record for general criminality is
not tine from which much satisfuetiou
oau.be derived. The number of arrests
matin In Nmv York- In 1017 outnumber
(hose mntle In Loudon by 1 11,877. Chi
I'ngtl was (11,874 ahead of London; -Bos
ton 02,020; Pliilhtdtllphlti 20,005,
At first blush these striking figures
i might appear to Indicate that our Aiueri
can police forces are slnguUU'ly liloffi
dent; but that Is nut what Mr. Eos
. dick la a recent published work
- '‘American Police Systems" set out to
- prove, 14e comes to the milk in the
■ ciKuiannt at once: "The police of au
.American city tire fared with a task
- itneli ns European police organisations
have no knowledge of. The Metropoli
tan Police Force of London, with nil
i its splendid efficiency, would bo over-
* whelmed lu Now York, niul the Brigade
de Suroto "of Purls, with Hs ingenuity

- below the level of its present achieve
ments If It were confronted with the sit-
ilntlon In Chicago. With rare exceptions,
the populations of European cities are
homogeneous. The popidntlnu of Amer
ican cities ,1s heterogeneous to tin extent
utmost without pnrttllcl. Only 8 per cent,
sif London 'a populution is foreign-born.
' I’arl* has (1 tier cent., Berlin 2.9 per
• -cent,, Vienna approximately I pur cent."
Contrast these figures with those for
Amerleau cities: Now York's foreigu-
; born imputation is -IP per rent.; Chica
go's 80 per rent,; IVtrolt's 88 per cent
' >,H Now York's two million foreign-
burn mure than n million and a helf

further one digs into Mr. Eosdick's fig
■ ores the more disquieting they become to
NOtiyime who lots the future welfare of
the Putted States at heart.
The Senate Committee on lmmigrn
. Mon and Nutnraliiuttinn lately heard
protests against the passage of Mr.
Johnaou'a measure for the temporary
. suspeiwlou of iuniilgratiou. The alien
hud jtis day in 'court. The thronga that
erowti tlie seaports of Western Europe

was on tap and was runtitug freely. It
is, a pity that more did not liow for
Amorim. '
■ •'Wo' cun no longer plend ignorance iu
- defense of a eoutiuuanre of our reckless
folly of the past. Our children will de
mand an accounting when they come into
their birthright. It will lie an impaired
birthright at (test, but wo can still see
to it that it is not whittled away to noth
ing. Generosity at the expense of oth
ers is often tin- dearest of vices, as it
is always tlie cheapest of virtues.
or more a dny if they could get storage
potatoes, and that, that mnrket is not
yet fully developed. A 20,000-hushcl
house is Isdug built at Hpnrtn, Haacock
-minty, tlie farm bureau agreeing to
furnish the potatoes. Coweta county
alone can consume 100,000 bushels, ns
cured |»otntoe$ can be kept until long
after new potatoes arc put on tlie mar
ket.
Ixd us make a comparison between
corn ami potatoes. The records give
on average of 20 bushels of corn and 80
bushels of potatoes per ncre. Cost of
trod net ion and price arc nearly the some,
cl the market price be wliat It may.
Adtl to the cost of raising potatoes *8
to *12 per aero for plants nnd you will
find thnt there is still nearly three times
more money In a crop of potatoes than
there in in corn.
There appears to lie some misunder
standing in regard to grading sweet
potatoes. Jn fact, there is no standard
grade as yet. Of course, the markets
tvnnt inereliuntahle potatoes. That means
nil sound potatoes, leaving out the strings
nml ‘‘jumlios." We must not expect
the public to lie satisfied with potatoes
we wouldn’t eat ourselves. The liettcr
the package, tlie 1 letter the price. Seed
potatoes can lie stored until wanted, and
then sold at n good price. It would be
bettor to keep the "jumbos" nt home,
ns they would bring n less price on the
market. It uin^ lxt that later wo would
have n running plant to tnke care of the
culls.-
It would lie well for thbse wanting
plants to order onrly, so ns not to lio ills

S SWEET POTATOES.
Making inquiry iu regard tq market

a market. Tlie county agent of Hart
county advises that he has encouraged
the farmers of his county to build
curing house for tlie storage of 45,000
bushels of potatoes. The agent further
state* that his people will consume not
less than 100,000 bushels of storage po

REVIEW OF WORK OF 66TH CON
GRESS.
Washington, D. C„ Murcli 4.—Rejec
tion of tlie treaty of Versailles, a sharp
light on President Wilson by Republican
leaders, adoption of the woman suffrage
Constitutional Amendment nml passage
of tho prohibition enforcement Act, were
outstanding fenturcs of tho sessions of
tho Sixty-sixth Congress, which passed
out today to mnko way for the Sixty-
seventh Congress, soon io convene in ex
tra session.
Swept into euntrol of both tho Somite
nml Bouse near tlie end of tlie war,
tlftor President Wilson Imd appealed tu
the country In 1918 to return a Demo
cratic majority to Congress, the Repub
licans organized all committees nt the
opening session in ID ID nml immndintoly
launched an nttaok on tho Administra
tion. This centered around tlie treaty
nf Versailles, Which was taken up in
tho Senate before it was signed nt Paris.
Other nets of the Administration which
enmt) in for criticism includod tho send
ing of troops to Russia, tlie handling of
deportation eases ami the winding up
of war contracts. Investigations of
many phase* of wnr activities nlse were
undertaken, nml coutimutd through most
uf tile nearly two years of the life of
this, | the first Ropilblleaa Congress in
eight years.
Four vetoes of Impnrtnht measures by
President Wilson also were overridden
by tlie Sixty-sixth Congress. The meas
ures repnssed after their disapproval by
Mr. Wilson includod tlie prohibition en
forcement- Act) and joint resolutions re
ducing the size uf the regular army to
175,0011 men, repenting the daylight sav
ing Inti ami reviving tho War Fianueo
Corporation. In the ense of one impor
tant matter, tlie Knox resolution to de
clare the Btatu of war with Germany nt
an end, tho Presidentlnl veto stood.
Besides the wnr inquiries, tunny Olliers
were conducted, including those into the
1919 steel strike, pie spread oil radical
propaganda, tlie eOal and housing Hit tin -
lions, the controversy between Bee rotary
Daniels and Rear Admiral ^Sims over
WtVnl medal awards, campaign expendi
tures, shipping board operations nnd rad
ical deportation cases.
International disarmament tvns a sub-
joet occupying much attention at the
closing session, inquiries bciqg conduct
ed by both House mid Seiuito committees.
Final action was deferred and the whole
question, left over to the Harding ad
ministration. The Senate Naval Com
mittee recommended, however, thnt there
in' no halting of American naval con
struction lit this time.
• Important measures passed by the
Sixty-sixth Congress, besides the prohi
bition enforcement law. the suffrage
amendment, mid the resolution to revive
the War Finance Corporation, included:
The Transportation Act.
Tho merchant marine Act,
Tlie Edge bill for foreign finance cor
porn t ions.
The oil nml gas leasing laws.
The unity reorganization Act.
The water-power dcvolopmcut bilk
A bill nbolishiug tlie l.', 8. Housing
Corporation.
In addition the usual annual supply
measures were put through ami prelimi
nary groundwork was laid by tlie House
Ways and Means Committee for revising
both the tariff amt tax laws.
There were three sessions of ttie Sixty
sixth Congress. Tlie first, au extraordi
nary one called by President Wilson by
cable from Paris, nfterlfailure of some
of the big appropriation measures iu tlie
preceding Congress, met on May 19,
1919, nml continued to Nov. .19. The
second session, a regular one, began ou
Dee, 1, 1919, and continued to June 5,
1920. Tlie third aud final session be
gun Dee. ti. Including the sessions dur
ing tlie war mid earlier. Congress 1ms
been sitting virtually in coutinuous sea
sieu for a decade.
Tlie Versailles treaty was tlie great
bone of contention during both tlie first
and second sessions. It was twice de
feated, first ou Nov. 19, 1919, ond again
ou March 19, 1920, when, by n vote of
47 to 87, it was returued to President
Wilson. The Knox resolution to end
tlie state of wnr with Germany then was
adopted, mid, on May £7, 1920, killed
by a Presidential veto.
The treaty debate begau May 23, 1919,
four days after the new Congress con
vened. The treaty was reported to the
Senate, with the Lodge reservations.

Many of the telegraph operators and

without notice, have returned for duty,
some of whom have boon accepted. Oth

Under normal conditions the A„ B. &
