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 mid mechnnlrul equipment, would fell far - 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 . un> of pan-English-speaking peoples. The 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 .

The thronga that erowti tlie seaports of Western Europe - waiting for shipping to bring them hither had their champions. Sentiment 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 nppolnted nt plnnting time. N; N.

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.

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.

Many of the telegraph operators and agents who struck on Mnrch 5, when all tho federated crafts on the rnilroud (some fourteen in number) walked out without notice, have returned for duty, some of whom have boon accepted. Oth ers were not accepted, Iwenuse tholr po Bilious had been previously filled. Under normal conditions the A„ B. & A. railway operates double daily pnssan gor sorvlco over every pnrt of its sys tom, some 050 miles in length.
