Show THE CITIZEN 6 WHERE ARE THE JOBS? THE IMMIGRATION question doesnt bother us much here in Utah. In many states it is a serious problem. The following editorial published of Prescott, Arizona, is in the Journal-Mine- r worth quoting because Arizona has a big foreign population to cope with. It is hard for an American to secure a job in the state unless he is a skilled mechanic or a professional man. They ask Where are the Jobs? and they have reason to ask it. Afred E. Smith paid too much in his speech of acceptance for the American people to take his candidacy for President seriously. We who know what a politician of the is up against can excuse, but not forgive him for the 100 per cent lack of Americanism in that chapter of his bidding for votes which deals with immigration. In order that no responsible person may acof partisan bias in this cuse the Journal-Mindiscussion, we will start by quoting the Democratic nominee in his speech of acceptance: During all of our national life the freedoom of entry to the country has been extended to the millions who desired to take advantage of the freedom and the opportunities offered by America. The rugged qualities of our immigration have helped to develop our country and their children have taken their places high in the annals of American history. Every race has made its contribution to the betterment of America. While I stand squarely on our platform declaration that the laws which limit immigration must be preserved in full force and effect, I am heartily of removing from the immigration law the harsh provision that separates families, and I am opposed to the principle of restriction based upon figures of immigrant population contained in a census thirty-eigyears old. I believe this is designed to discriminate against certain nationalities and is an unwise policy. It is in no way essential to a continuance of the restriction advocated in our Smith-Tamma- ny er ht WHEN WILLIAM E. Borah, Senator of Idaho, arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a letter awaited him at the hotel, which read: Youve always been considered rather irregular as a Republican heretofore why are you regular in this campaign? The Senators answer was: I am interested, deeply interested, and for two reasons: The first reason for my interest is known as the farm and the best qualified man in the problem United States today to deal with that complex problem is Herbert Hoover. My second reason is my desire to see the Constitution of this country maintained and enforced as the people have written it. Senator Borah is one man who never minces words. He says what he thinks regardless of who it may benefit or hurt. When he says Herbert Hoover is the best qualified man in the United States today to deal with the complex farm problem he means it. Senator Borah knows what he is talking about. MRS. FRANCESCO Parello, who is ninety-si- x years of age, brought suit for divorce against her fifty-si- x year old spouse on the grounds of cruelty. The couple have been married for two years. Her husband, before the divorce, inveigled her into deeding all of her property to him. We are never too old to learn it would seem. GRAFT. THE POLICE graft expose in Philadelphia shows a condition that exists in a majority of our American cities, and it is a condition intolerable and so interwoven with puli that crime thrives in its wake. The prohibition law has created a new field of graft and upon such wholesale proportions that the ordinary citizen cannot comprehend. People are beginning to look upon our courts as real clearing houses for the crooks, where light fines and no jail sentences are invoked with the greatest laxity. People are wondering what it i3 all about. VACATION IN SIGHT. platform In this declaration Mr. Smith is either entirely ignorant of the causes of the immigrant problem and of methods sought to cope with it, or is blatantly bidding for the support of bohunk. He may have had in mind the fact that in New York City only one person in five is American bom. And the fact that he. has never won an election without the votes of the foreigners of New York City may incline to the belief that he is turning his back on the American doctrine of America for the kind of people who can get along in America. The immigration problem is of vital importance to Arizona and she knows whereof she speaks. In the logging camps of the northern part of the state Labor Day is never observed but the Mexican Independence day is a big holiday. We do not want this condition ever to prevail in Utah. Food for thought. Smith is so sure he will be elected president and he will eat his Christmas dinner in the White Irouse that he has already named his successor as governor of New York, the selection being Franklin D. Roosevelt. While A1 has the name of being a great politician, yet it appears to us that he is innocently shaping plans to cheat himself out of a political job. He is setting the stage for a new governor and the people are betting 2 to 1 that Hoover will be elected, it looks very much as if A1 is slated for an unexpected vacation.

Barringer, novelist, scenario writer and producer and his cook, Geo. M. Mullen, got into an argument the other day about a dog. The argument, as arguments frequently do, developed into a regular fight and somebody got bit but it wasnt by the dog. The dog was merely a bystander and the innocent cause of it all. Mrs. Barringer tried to separate the men but without success until the cook (maybe he thought he was the dog), bit a chunk out of Mr. Barringers cheek. The scenario writers condition was serious enough to necessitate his removal to the hospital. well-know- THE CONVICTION deepens that this election is more than a choice between Tammany Hall and the Teapot Dome.

The men are having marcels, permanent waves, facials, etc. to ; a greater extent than ths women. To what shall we attribute this new habit of the vainer sex? Why, prohibition, of course. Prohibition is blamed for everything else, short skirts, bobbed hair, cigarettes, the crime wave, Republican corruption, and Mrs. Willebrandt,- so we might as well blame it for the $750,000,000 the stronger sex spent last year to look weaker. Will Rogers says - THE ELECTION in Maine was' an emphatic Republican declaration. Nevertheless, Democrats continue to assume that there is hope. THE NEW YORK Engineers is mobilizing 3,000 men arid women supporters of Herbert Hoover to prevent fraudulent registration and illegal voting in the five boroughs of Greater New York. There are approxi- mately 3,000 election districts in 'the Greater City and the majority of these will be covered by volunteer watchmen enrolled under the Engineers banner.

Not only that, they are working overtime laying in supplies, and pine nuts are larger than they have been in seven years, according to reports to F. S.

DISCOVERY of a picture of Boss Tweed in the cornerstone of the old Tammany wigwam really has nothing to do with the case, but it probably does not add to the joy of life for a certa' Tammany member now a candidate for high office.
