ALIEN EMPLOYMENT
Ft. Worth Star-Telegram: The
uproar produced by Congressman
Dies' proposed bill for barring
aliens from employment In the
United States Illustrates as noth-
ing else might do the difference
between the American and foreign
viewjxpnt in such matters. For
many years European nations have
had stringent alien employment
laws.
Anyone going to France, for In-
stance, is liable to be turned back
if the port authorities have the
least suspicion that he is looking
for a job. or expects to profit from
his visit. That country now has
in preparation a law to prohibit
the practice of professions by al-
iens. It is reported to be aimed
specifically at American dentists,
of which there are many in that
country — all prosperous, because
the admitted superiority of Amer-
ican technique and skill In the
practice of dentistry brings in the
customers.
America still likes to think of
Itself as the "land of opportunity,’*
where no barrier exists against
the stranger from another land.
In cold practicality, this country's
traditional policy of welcome to
the qualified immigrant has prob-
ably paid dividends. Such Immi-
grants usually become citizens If
they do not. their children are
born citizens. Foreigners in Eu-
ropean countries usually retain
their nationalities

There is something strange about
the effect of a printed statement.
A man who commits an offense,
says the editor of the Bonham
Favorite, hears people on the
streets talking about it and takes
no offense, but let a newspaper
publish the truth about it and he
grows furious.v His family and his
friends insist that it is not a mat-
ter to be broadcast, though prac-
tically everybody !is broadcasting
it by word of mouth. Why. does
one think it more disgraceful to
have the story of one s misdeeds
told in the newspapers than it Is
to have it told In the courthouse?
We don't know the answer to that
question but we do know that ma-
ny people have a greater dread oJ
the newspapers than they have of
the Jury.
There are a number of people
who have the idea that they .ire
entitled to special favors from the
newspapers. They want the pa-
pers to give them the news ol
what other people are doing, but
they fly Into a rage when the
same newspapers give the people
news of their own infractions of
the law. They are the kind who
want the newspapers to keep quiet
when some public official loots
the town dr county treasury, or
defaults In his accounts as a cus-
todian of other people’s money, or
accepts a bribe.
Newspapers ought to publish
some kinds of news, because it is
detrimental to public morals and
public welfare. But it is a pro-
tection to the public to have le-
gitimate news made known. With-
out it, corruption would flourish
more than it does, and the peo-
ple made victims of countless
schemes to rob and deceive and
corrupt.
Often it is painful to the news-
paper reporter or editor to record
the misdeeds of men and women
who violate the law, but usually it
Is a duty they owe the public to
publish such news. When it is such
a duty, it must be performed re-
gardless of whose feelings it hurts.

By Julian Capers Jr.
Austin, Sept. 9. — The gage of
battle to adopt a state monopolj
system for the sale of hard liquor
In Texas was thrown into the leg-
islative arena this week, on the
eve of the opening of the special
liquor control session of the 44th
legislature
Ex-Senator Tom l.ove of Dallas,
spokesman for the bone drys. and
veteran of innumerable prohibition
campaigns, sent a letter to every
member of the legislature, urging
state monopoly, and asserting that
only in those nine states which
have adopted the system has any
substantial revenue accrued to the
state.
Bitter and probably successful
resistance, will be encountered to i
his plan from distillers, liquor dis-
tributors and wholesalers, hotels,
lestaurants and all who hope to
profit from the liquor traffic.
Thq state monopolists will have
another try at It, If they fall In
the special session, next year, when
the people will vote on a consti-
tutional amendment setting up
state monopoly. Wet leaders here
are gravely concerned over what
will take place in the intervening
year and a half. If regulation is
too lax, If drunken drivers kill too
many people, if public drinking by
women in bars where women and
young girls are bartenders is too
widespread, they fear a strong re-
action that will result in the vo-
WBAT ADVERUSING
REALLY DOES
We quote a statement that was
recently published in the dally
column of Arhtur Brisbane, illus-
trious American newspaper editor:
"Advertising was nevelr more Im-
portant right now. Prosperity
comes when people buy, and peo-
ple buy when advertising is done
intelligently.'*
Mr. Brisbane knows tha' adver-
tising is the backbone of business,
and goes on to say that never in
business history was advertising
more impyrtant than at the pres-
ent Ume.
Now let us take a few nor* pre-
cit us moments and see "what ad-
vertising really does” to biuuic .'.
When someone starts advertlr.in.j,
Someone starts buying.
When someone starts buying,
Someone starts selling.

So there you are! The ball be-
gins to roll! That Is perfectly log-
ical! An endless chain, so to
speak. The merchant or manu-
facturer who does not advertise is
breaking this endless chain.
Newspaper Advertising is $he
quickest and surest way to Increase
business, because it produces re-

Meanwhile, in the larger cities
