Disclussing the announcement of the discovery of extensive phosphate beds near Garrison and also in the vicinity of Philipsburg, reference to which was made inl The Missoulian yesterday, Colonel Sam Gordon of the Yellow stone Journal calls attention to the fact that this discovery should mark the end of the strife over the. smelter slioae in the Deer Lodge valley, as the l,,,sence of phosphates near at hand will transform the fumes from the WVashoe stack from a menace to a Ileneficvnt factor in the valley's I.rosperity. Here. are the colonel'; pre.mise and conclusion: It may he remembered by those wx1o kept track of the litigation of the Deer Lodge valley farmers, with the Anaconda manifestation of the Amalgamated, when the argument was put up by the farm ers that it was not only possible bhut practicable, and even profit able from a business point of view, for the big smelter to bie so olp erated as to save all of its poison ous output and by combining tihls with phosphates, make a valuable and marketable by-product known as fertilizer, the smelter people undertook to prove, and probably did prove to the satisfaction of the referee, that it was not prasticable or profitable for them to do this, a.s there was Inio ihosphate rock within hundreds of miles of them, and that they could neither afford to freight the sulphuric acid to the phosphate, or the latter to their ;plant at Washoe. Inrion of an Immense rernll1zer 1 works right up against the big 1 smelter, and the introduction of cle(,ntific methods to catch and hold every atom of sulphuric acid t and arsenic that might otherwise I float out of the big stack, and poisni the crops and the grazing .:tnimals of the beautiful Deer Lodge t .ivalley. Somehow or other we feel I that the occupation of the "smoke farmer" will soon be gone; that tile natural ozone of the moun- I tains will once more invade the i. beautiful Deer Lodge valley and re-coup all living things there, even I the demonstration farm of t tho, big outfit; and that tile forty voilnumes of the transcribed record of tile "smlnke case" will be do nated to, the public library; at y Anaconda as a part of the arch- ii Ives of the Ili,)plle. IMPORTANT. i In the interesting discussion of rospective legislation at the chambe.r Sconlmnerec dinner, Thursday night, f; here \vas no topiiC mentioned which rakened liveller interest than the talk d bout the dairry interests and their rote( l Ion. Also, there was none of he topllilcs of greater importance than si his one. Mr. ('arruthers, presenting the but Sr-maker's side of the question, said ruly that there should be millions n tore pounds of butter made in Mon- h Ina each year. Instead of importing4 airy products, we should export t rem. It is more profitable to the rmler to ship his hay in the form of a itef and butter than it is to sell it I bales. There are many tons of hay tile Bitter Root for which there is market; had this hay been fedl to t airy cows through the winter, the n Itter would have found quick and 1 'ady sale. o The dairying possibilities of Mon- a tana are realized by only a few peo pie. The forage conditions, the water supply, the climate and the proximity of market-all these conditions are ideal for the development of the dairy Induatry in western Montana to a high degree of importance in the commer cial and industrial life of this region. The influence of local business men, of local farmers and of local workers should all be for the advancement of this line of development. There is practically no limit to its possibilities; there is evel ele so.- age.ent for fos tering the industry. BAILEY'S WARNING. The four hours which the senate gave to the swan song of Bailey of Texas was time well invested, pro vided it was really a farewell. Time is precious in congress this month, but the absence of Bailey is worth al most any price. , The. Texan, they say, is to become a New Yorker and that is for the good of Texas. The closer to lower Broadway Bailey gets, the more congenial will be the atmosphere. If Broadway likes it Texas should be de lighted. Bailey is ultra-reactionary. His warning to the country is con tained in his forecast that direct legis lation will destroy our government. If he meant the present form and man ner of our government, he was right. Direct legislation is for the purpose of destroying the corporation domination of our government. We agree with the Texas swan that direct legislation will do this. The supreme c)urt of Idaho will hear from ite contempt decision for many years. The men whlon the court sent to prison Thursday will be run ning a newspaper long after the pres ent membership of the court is rel: gated to private life. Every democrat, progressive or re actionary, Can find something which Woodlrow Wilson wrote which proves exactly the point, no matter what it is. The fecundity of Wilson will become hustoric. Senator Myers indorses the Norris candidacy. lie says ISenator-elect Walsh will join him in this position. Have our erstwhile liberal s-natore become reactionary already? The water-power trust will seek to divert legislative attention and the lawmakers should fix their mind!, upon House Bill 1.0 at the start of the ses silln. Senator Bailey quoted Woodrow Wilson to prove the danger of direct legislation. Once more the president elect is reminded that he wrote too much. Washington says Senator Jeff Davis was much respected at the caplital, but NWashington took good care not to say so until the senator was dead. Boss Murphy has heard defiance burled at him before. But it is getting to be such a regular thing that it's likely to get on his nerves. We are much obliged to t'astro for his good wishes, hut we'd rather he'd send them by cable than to deliver them in person. Texas will never place a statue of h:ailey in the BIall of Fame if she '.Ashes to retain the respect of tier sis ter states. A Michigan house caught fire from a fireless cooker, which is bad as a wireless operator getting his wires crossed. If you are not a subscriber to The Missoulian, you should not put It it off: g" Into the growing list right away. The secretaryship of the interior will settle to a great extent the stand ing of the administration. The man who doe n't clean his side walk shouldn't expebt the good opin i n of his neighbors. Alexander the Great never dreamed what a turmoil he started in the Macedonian valley. Woodrow says he'd rather walk. But he didn't say it until the carriage had been ordered. There is plenty of water In Mon tana, but none of it can be spared for saturating stocks. The Missoulian class ad will relieve you of much perplexity. Why not try it today? ' there is plenty of work for the leg Is'ature--if the legislatures will only do it. Governor Sulzer's defiance of Boss Murphy is, however, somewhat modi fled. The weather man displays an utter disregard for the calendar. The governorship of Goethals doesn't seem so certain. SPINAL MENINGITIS. Memphis, Tenn., Jan. 3.-Spinal meningitis has become so prevalent in the country about this city that local health authorities today cautioned railroads not to transport persons into the city from sections infected unless they had health certificates. Health officers have been assigned to meet all incoming trains. PROGRESSIVE CONFERENCE. St. Paul, Jan. 3.-A call was issued today for a progressive conference of representatives of Michigan, Wiscon. sin, Niorth Dakota. South Dakota and Minnesota at St. Paul January 24. The object is to decide on desired state and national le.islation. SMITH VS. SIMMONS The latest news from WWashington brings frantic exasper ation to the reactibnaries, both democrata and republicans, for it makes cert'ain that Colonel Bryan remainhs a potent force in his party. The word from the capital is that Sen ator Hoke Smith, who is at the head of the movement to reorganize the senate committees upon a basis of merit and to ignore the old seniority precedent, has secured enough pledges to make certain that his plan will be successful. This news follows close upon the warning sounded by Colonel Bryan, who called attention to the danger which threatened his party if the seniority plan of organization was followed, as it would place reactionaries in full control of the machinery of the senate. The promptness with which pledges have been given to Senator Hoke Smith is a good indication of the degree of importance which demo crats yet attach to the word of the Nebraska man. Meanwhile the reactionaries are raging; they are calling Colonel Bryan all the names in their extensive vocabulary; they denounce him as a mischief-maker and a malignant despot. They find it impossible to realize that he is vet possessed of great political power. Bryan's appeal for the repudiation of the old seniority rule strikes these reaction aries as little short of anarchy. Here are paragraphs taken from eastern reactionary newspapers since the Bryan warn ing was sounded-some republican and some democratic: Mr. Bryan's challenge of the seniority rule signifies that he has begun his campaign for the nomination in 1916. * * * He demands that the progressive senators take charge and put none but demo cratic progressives in the chairmanships. If the democrats control, they will 'have to accept his definition of a progressive. This could not be done without disrupting the party. Is the Evil Eye of the democracy yet to make another Bryanite opportunity out of the good fortune of victory? He has adopted a policy that will keep alive the fires of factional controversy. * * * He serves notice that unless he and his faction shall be recognized in the composition of the committees and the formulation of policies of legislation, he is prepared to create a schism in the party. * * * He wants to drive from power every statesman who does not worship at the shrine of Bryan * * * If his program were adopted, the failure of Mr. Wilson's administra tion would be sealed in advance. It is evident that his article means war * * * His advice would rob the democracy of the fruits of the victory. * * * It would be a deadly affront to democrats of prominence and leadership; it would violate all usage and tradition; it would set up'from the start a fac tionql division; it would wreck the democratic majority and the ad ministratidn. * * * Mr. Bryan's advice was given with intent td make mischief. * * * To us it means plainly that he does not expect to be a member of Mr. Wilson's cabinet. These convulsions were caused by the suggestion that the control of legislative affairs should not rest upon tradition, but upon fitness. The reactionaries do not wish that com manding positions be awarded upon a basis of merit rather than as rewards for long service, no matter what that serv ice may have been. With stupid reiteration the tory press raves at Bryan as "the evil genius of democracy" and the "thrice-defeated candidate." And, to climax the' outburst, comes this utterance from one of the best-known tory news papers of the country: The best wish that the Sun can express for the president-elect is that he may seize upon the windpipe of Bryanism at the very start, and with all the strength that the sinews of. his long, lean fingers possess throttle that persistent and fatal thing into eternal silence. The case of Smith vs. Simmons is the cause which will de termine to a great extent the success or failure of-Ve demo cratic administration. If the Georgia senator is tcessful in deposing the North Carolina senator, who is the head of the senate finance committee under the seniority rule, there will be a great victory won for the Bryan faction of the party; there will be more trouble ahead for the reaction aries; there will be' such a shake-up as we have not wit-, nessed in recent years. And Smith vs. Simmons is first on the senate trial calendar. Immigration XXVI.-Some Unsolved Problems. By Frederoi J. Haskin. ,That there are still many unsolved problems in the handling of the immi grant tide coming to America. is a fact patent to every student of the ques tion. Some of these problems are so knotty as to baffle the most earnest attempts to settle them fully and sat isfactorily. Most prominent among them is the question of qualifications for entering the country. The house of representatives insists that the sit uation demands an educational quall fication for entrance: That there is a very large percentage of ignorant im migrants coming into the United States from eastern and southern Europe, the figures of the bureau of Immigration prove. More than a third of the Syrians, Ruthenians and South Italians are unable to read; more than a fourth of the Croatians, Russians and Servians; and more than a fifth of the Bulgarians, Greeks, Lithuanians and Poles are in the same category. A literacy test would keep these peo ple out. In the Barly days of the American nation tens of thousands of people who were unable to read or write came to the United States and became the progenitors of families, who today form a part of the bone and sinew of the nation, and there are many who assent that history is but repeating it self; that among those who are com ing now, who cannot read or write, there are tens of thousands who will become the progenitors of families who will add much to our national human capital. It is claimed that it is not the uneducated foreigner who becomes our anarchist, our alien agitator or our rebel against American institutions; that an illiterate man with an open mind may be much more fit for ad mission into our country than the lit erate one with a mind filled with en mity against our institutions. Those who favor the literacy test declare that our tide if immigrants is now so large that there are diffi culties surrounding its assimilation, and that the time 'has come when we can pick our immigrants with greater care and make it a select body rather than one that has not been filtered of the undesirables. They contend that with our present supply of Incoming foreigners. it is better that two fit persons be excluded than that one un fit be admitted. They feel that even with the restrictions drawn so close as to keep out all illiterates, we still will have leeway enough to choose a sufficient number of good immigrants to tax the assimllable powers of the nation. They do not assert that every illiterate alien is a bad citizen, or that even the majority of them are; they argue that a good immigrant who can read and write is better than a good one who cannot, and that there are enough of the former without having to take the latter. The majority of those who favor a restricted immigration predicated upon the belief that the tide has become too large for assimilation to keep pace with expansion, favor the literacy test as the best method of checking it. But other methods have been proposed to accomplish the same result. One of these is the limitation of the number of hnmigrants admitted by restricting the number of each race to a certain percentage. This would simply accept all that come as now, literate and il literate, up to a certain number, and prevent us from exercising a prefer ence for literates over illiterates. Still another proposition for restric tion is to exclude all unskilled laborers who do not come with their wives or families. It is argued by those who urge this method of restriction, that those who come unaccompanied are usually men who are coming over for the purpose of working a few years and then returning home. It is de clared that they tend to restrict the opportunities of laborers who come with their wives and families. It gen erally is agreed 'that the man who comes with his wife or his family, comes with the intent of making America his home--an intent that tends to make a good citisei of him. Those who oppose this plan agree, that there is much in what its advo cates say, but, on the other hand, there are so many laborers who come over and get enough money to bring their wives or families later that the pro vision would shut out tens of thou sands of the very people. it was meant to help-the men who want to make America their home and the home of their posterity. Ahother method proposed for re stricting immigration is to limit the number of immigrants arriving at any one port in any one year. By this method, it is argued, New York would be saved from the great congestion that exists there, and the tide of hu-' mnanity could be better distributed to all parts of the country. This plan is opposed by others because it would throw the immigrant traffic out of its natural channels. Still another method proposed is that of raising the head tal on all immigrant, or7ot riaQla dn those who aoe. iTcoii wpiled eir wives of famlli , 'The i on comnmiSaton. Oeaediuded, ;.tihts ously that, retrtioc n .is iia j ied v' economic, moral and soclil coi derttlons, bit'it rejected everi p.an - restriction except the literacy test. It is generally conceded .~it the nmigrant-handling businesis ip sudh profitable one that the Iete ull: )mpanies take many chant.r of bd ig fined a hundred dollars, 6- of be 'g required to ,arry back asi exolud le immigrant. It has been recom iendedt that the fines be iflate ad' 'avy for' a, lack of compliance with e law as to render it a dangerous ing for. # 4Iteamship company to ad Pt ,passengers' whom they should not ring.over, or even to connive at the rming of deportable persons. The de ,rted immigrant- has a hard life of it. e has staked. his all to dome, and hen the steamship carries iWm back is to dump him- in some. foreign irt, without funds, to continue his' urney home. Some have proposed a-t Inspection be made at the ports embarkation, but the immigration. thorities do not agree with -thli. hey say that it would be a case of ginning at the big end of the funnel. 'here countries are willing to assist eir immigrants, as in Italy and Rus-' a, the public health service stations a men at the ports of embarkation, id their recommendations as to who ill be admitted and who are likely to excluded, are accepted by the gov nments in question and by the,. eamship companies. In this way the 'its of deportation are reduced to .a nimum. It Is generally conceded that some' ethod must be found of filtering out e criminals who come in on the im igration tide. The immigration au orities catch a large percentage of' em, but there are 'still too many erlooked. It has been proposed that erever possible the immigrant be quired to show a clean bill of health the shape of a certificate from his. vernment showing that he' is not the ssessor of a criminal record. An her proposal is that any alien con rted of a crime within five years ter he comes shall be immediately ported, or deported as soon as his ison sentence ends. The problem of distribution of im grants so as to keep them out of e cities and to lead them to the id, has had many solutions pro sed, and yet few of them seem.likely accomplish their purpose. The rst interesting of these is the pro sal to establish a zone of a hundred lea radius around each port of en r, and to admit no alien who does possess a railroad ticket for some nt beyond that zone. This propo- I ion is objected to by others on sev al grounds. One is that the ports smselves would hardly be willing to cept these conditions, For instance, ercrowded as New York is today, es one suppose it would be willing let the immigrant tide pass out of MIN gates without a fair 'toll of hu onity from it? Another objection is F at thil would be only a process of ing the coffers of the railroads; that a immigrant might go beyond the ne in question, 'but would likely ift back again. H, A serious problem from the stand- the int of the immigrant is how totana ert the uinpleasant conditions 4f the tention rooms of immigrant stlions. exce most of the stations the size Of the tion rms are adequate for the ordinary the i eds of the traffic, but, for instance, excli the case of Ellis island, the stgam- acco ip companies today may dump 5,000 Stat migrants out of their steerage'quar- Derr ,s. Perhaps three-fifths of these will "T through aJl right, but the other from 100 may be detained for further ex- writ ination. It is inevitable under such not nditions that there -will be crowd- the in the detention rooms. And Tho ere perhaps half of the detained in at ow next to nothing about cleanil- and ss, and no insignificant percentage 'velol them arrive with vermin of one, toda rd or another on their persons, it is ting avitable that the detention rooms the II not always be clean. At Ellis !s- velol rd everyone admits that there lon; prod a been imperative need of more warn im, and yet, with all the room that man liberal government might provide, woul nditions would in all. likelihood re- be in such as would grate upon the The isibilities of people who love clean- not ess. local (Tomorrow-Immigration.
