Step Immigration
I f Mi Editor el tha Cvivlne Public Ledger:
Sir I think all lminlirrntien hheuld
If itODMd for the period of two or ttircc
yeiri until the labor conditions were
adjusted in this country, and these new
cut of employment were given a chance.
It'icems te rae entirely wrong te allow
WODie from all UurDDcau nation., te
flwk here and take the same chances for
employment with the American-born
and raised. They, should ibe given the
preference, for it is tba American who
is in full sympathy with our country,
and net the foreigner whp mere'y comes
here te keep from starving at home and
then overcrowds the market and com
pels the American te starve.
It is the Immigrant who (Ives ui nine
tenths of our trouble. Loek ever the
long list of these who were Jailed dur
ing the war and you will And that they
were foreign -born. Who are the of
fenders against our Constitution In re
spect te prohibition? The foreigners.
They are the bootleggers, the wen who
ha ve ..Illicit stilts. Nete their names te
the papers. Who are our held-up men,
and who are putting us te se much ex ex
nensc for murder, held-ups, etc.? Nete
their names, when caught, and you will
see they nrc net American-born.
America should take care of Its own
until ah adjustment of all our labor
conditions Is brought about, and then
we 'can begin te admit them, if they
are. willing te work and take the jobs
that are net filled by Americans. The
public sheu'd Insist en n closed Amer
ica te this unemployed horde from Ku
rope, and if- they don't de it you will
find that It will be years before we can
get back te normalcy in the settling of
the "".n'evment situation. G. W. L.

I HAVE NO MOTHER NOW
I have no mother, for aba died
When X was very young,
But still her memory 'round my heart
Like morning mist has clung.
They tell me of an angtt form
That watched ma while I slept,
And of the soft and gentle hand
That wiped the tears I wept.
And that same hand that held my own
When I began te walk,
The Jey that sparkled In her eyes
When first Z tried te talk.
They eay a mother's heart la pleated
When Infant's cherma expand:
t wonder If aha thinks of me
In that bright and happy land.
I knew aha Is In heaven new.
That holy place nf rest.
Fer she waa always geed te me;
The geed alone are blessed.
I remember, tee, when I was 111
She kissed my burning brew.
The tears that fell upon my cheek,
I think I feet them new.
And I had cot eenie little books
Bbe taught me bow te apelli
The chiding or the klas abe gate
I still remember well.
And then she used te kneel with me
And teach me hew te pray
And ralas my little hands te heaven
And tell me what te aay.
Oh. mother, mother, in my heart
Thy Image still shall be.
And I de hope In heaven at laat
That I may meet with thee.

The greatest evil I have te contend
with is trouble making among the help

plain this attitude of maids toward mis
tress unless it is due te their minds
never having beau taught te think and
consequently talk about things worth
while Instead of gossip. As they knew
uethlng about the mistress but by sur

what is net true te make the conversa

A Demestic's Complaint
Te the Editor et the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir Having read some of the Icttcis
in regard te the domestic problem, I
would like te elcc iny opinion. I am
a Philadelphia born and have lived in
one family for niue cari, wbcre the
help were treated with all kinds of con cen con
fciderutlon, but death ciinie and broke
up the lieme Mu-ry te t-aa, and when I
went te live with another family, just
the opposite in character the se-called
four hundred I was net treated half as
geed as the woman's dogs. These peo
ple) keep a Japanese cook and pay hira
a hundred dollars a month. The kitchen
is se filthy that you couldn't 'cat your
meals there. They expect ou te sit
there In the evening when your work is
done, or go up te jour room, if you
might cull it by that name. The place
has net been papered, I expect, for thir
ty j ears, and you ere expected te use
the Fame bathroom that the Jap uses.
Imagine a woman calling hciiclf a lady
asking her girls te de such n thing.
I wonder if she would like her daughter
te be pinccq in sucn a position.
This sumo women gees and visits hos
pitals, etc.. and talks her bead off en all
social problems, but never a word about
her borne, fche wants the eight -hour
b.vstcm for all. She wants uplift for the
weiklng girls, but nothing ever for her
own help. There 1ms been enough eald
about this problem ; new for action. If
men like Mr. Sterk would tnke this
matter up with the help of ether geed,
real Americans, nn end would be put te
this Mavcry, for that Is whnt it U in
the real reni-e. Imagine being allowed
one day in the month In town, and don't
dnre te go out again unless .seu sneak
away. This Is 1022 and let us hope
that the peer domestic help will he put
en a basis where they can stand tide by
side with their mera fortunate sitters
te make It n business and net a slavs
trade. MARION H. VYUJilAMH,
Statistics Say Four te
One Against Yeu
Unless you take proper precautions, the odds are
four te one that you will contract Pyorrhea before
or after you pass the age of forty.
Something te think about, isn't it?
There are two things you can de: play the long
shot and pay the probable penalty, or set about in
a sensible manner te insure your teeth.
Pyorrhea has cost many an individual his teeth and health.
It starts with tender, bleeding gums. That is the danger
signal you should be quick te heed.
Ignore it and Pyorrhea does its deadly work in a hurry.
The gums recede, the teeth loosen and drop out or must be
pulled. Pus pockets form at the roots of the teeth and
disease germs swarm throughout the system.
Yeu must net let Pyorrhea gain headway in your mouth.
At the first warning, see your dentist and start using Portion's
Fer the Gums at once.
Ferhan's Fer the Gums is the formula of R. J. Ferhan,
D. D. S. If used consistently and used in time it will pre
vent Pyorrhea or check its course.
Don't wait a day longer. Step at your
druggist's et once, buy a tube of Ferhan'a
and start using it today.
Brush your teeth with Ferhan'a regularly.
It is an excellent dentifrice and will keep
your teeth and mouth in perfect health.
Four out of five wait tee long. Don't be
one of them. 3 Sc and 60c at all druggists.

The Farmer Holds the
Whip-Hand at Washington
Today the American farmer strangely finds himself simultaneously at the ebb-tide
of his economic fortune and at the flood-tide of his political power; and it is te his
poverty that he ewes the discovery and assertion of his strength. As a result of this
paradox President Harding calls a great conference at Washington te devise ways te
rescue our rural population from imminent disaster, and almost in the same breath pro pre
tests against the domination of Congress by the agricultural bloc. News dispatches
describing the desperate plight of the farmer appear side by side with ethers averring that
t the farmer holds .the whip at Washington as never before in the nation's history, and
that his dictation amounts te a "super-government," an "invisible empire."
Senater Capper, of Kansas in his publication, Cappefs Weekly, says that "the farm
ers lest three and one-half billion dollars in 1921 in crop values alone compared with 1920,
or eight billion dollars compared with 1919." "Concerning the grim reality of the present
crisis in agriculture there can be no difference of opinion among informed people," de
clared President Harding. On the ether side of the picture we see the agricultural bloc
defying the "Old Guard," and disturbing the calculations of leaders in both parties. The
symbol and instrument of their power is the (famous "farm bloc," a group of Republican
and Democratic Senators and Representatives who come from the agricultural sections of
the West and. Seuth, and who are said te held the balance of power in Congress.
