OPINIONS OF GREAT PAPERS ON IMPORTANT SUBJECTS
Alarming Immigration.
ALMOST every nation In the world Is sending an In
creasing number of immigrants to the United States.
Last month the newcomers numbered 'M,'i0. being
30,0O more than for April of The total for the
year may reach l.fJOO.isH), o; half the population of Chicago,
the second largest city in the country.
Is so great an Influx of foreigners natural or desirable?
Many in a condition to know say that Immigration ia pro
moted largely by niineowuers and railroad managers, who
wish to be kept suplied with cheap labor, and w ho do not
care particularly whence it conies or whether it will be
desirable material out of which to make American citizens,
or whether Its presence may not contribute to social or in
dustrial disorder.
Many of the great railroad (systems approve of unre
jted immigration because It swell their profitable emi
grant business. They have their agents in Kurope soliciting
that kind of business. The greater the numler of men
and women that can be induced to come to this country
and to buy tickets to Interior points the more money the
roads make. They offer low ocean and rail rates, which
tempt the emigrant and yet are profitable to the roads.
While some great employers favor unrestricted immi
gration because it gives tliem cheap lalsir, the labor unions
may reach the conclusion that for that very reason unre
stricted immigration must be harmful to their interests
because It will lead inevitably to a reduction of wages.
When the supply of labor is much -in excess of the demand
the maintenance of a high wage scale becomes impossible.
While a large percentage of the immigration is unskilled
labor, it must be remembered that many unions are com
posed of men who do that kind of labor. Numbers of
women and children are corning from "sunny Italy" and
are offering their services to whoever will buy them. They
come with no industrial experience, but there are hundreds
of kinds of work requiring little skill they can speedily be
taught to do. They have strength and willingness to work.
Wages which seem low to Americans seem at tirst high to
the Italians.
The adult Italian or Slav may be willing to spend his
days in a coal mine or a railroad construction camp. The
children will not be. They will look for occupations of a
higher order. Some of them will learn trades ami increase
the number of skilled workers. When times grow dull
there will be an excess of workers and wages will go down.
The labor organizations belonging to the American Fed
eration of Labor asked the last Congress to bar out Illiter
ate immigrants. The object was to keep down the unde
sirable cheap labor immigration. The steamship com
panies, which make money off their steerage passengers and
drum up business throughout eastern Europe, and some
Western railroads which are extending their lines, protest
ed against and defeated the legislation, "organized labor"
petitioned for. Considering the swelling tide of immigra
tion, much of it of an undesirable nature, the labor leaders
probably will ask the next Congress in emphatic language
to order the exclusion of illiterates to protect American
labor and the high standard of American citizenship.

A Word About the Quiet Life,
Rt'SH and strenuousness are the striking characteris
tics of life in this epoch. Success, according to the
prevailing notion, consists in .getting something,
whether it be wealth, public Office, social position,
notoriety or power, which lifts the possessor to eminence'.
Failure, in the general opinion, consists of not rising alsove
the ruck. To be undistinguished is to be unsuccessful; to
be contented In obscurity is to he contenmt;hin
Ia all this jostling', pushing, scrambling, elbowing scrim-'
mage which we call the strenuous life, a man has little
opportunity to step aside and look at the
the side-lines. Let a man stop a second for breath to get
Into the game. If he lags a moment, if he stands irresolute
Instead of following the ball, lie is sent off the field and
an eager substitute takes his place.
The best success, and the kind most 'worth having, con
sists rather in being than in doing or getting. To most men
this knowledge comes with years and wisdom when It Is
too late to begin again. The men that have made the great
est success in the world's eyes have borne witness to the
wisdom of those contemplative men -.ho seek contentment
In their own minds and not In striving for things outside
of themselves. To grow Inwardly Is to be successful. Sue-

Good Roads.
AGt.ui mad is one that will reasonably meet the
peculiar demands of the locality and its conditions as
to character of tratiic, topography, available mate
rials and financial resources. For many routes a
very narrow roadway will suffice. Willi Infrequent travel
of comparatively light vehicles only, a light construction nc
a corresponding cost will be permissible. At the other ex
treme, fur mads over which many wagons heavily loaded
with ore, metal or qliarry products, and drawn by many
mules or horses, even the most substantial form of the
ordinary classes of construction, at ail within financial
possibility, is often inadequate, and in such places some
form of steel road may be found more economical, in lirst
cost as well as In maintenance. Some localities are favored
with good gnivel or stone with which hard roads can be
built at small expense, and their topography and soil are
favorable to easy and thorough drainage, an important con
sideration. The people need, also, to be taught how to use good roads
after (hey are built. One little example of what should not
be done is the habit of following the same track in the
middle of the road, which soon produces ruts by concen
trating the wear both of the wheels and of the horses' feet.
To meet this difficulty, in some parts of the country signs
have been put up alongside the roadside with admoni
tion: "Do not keep in the middle of the road," or some sim
ilar suggestion to distribute the traffic over the whole width
of the roadway. Experience with various materials. Im
plements, methods of construction and maintenance, and
types of bridges ami structures is yielding useful knowl

War and Long Life.
IT is ii..t always true that war shortens life. Tie- sole
survivor of the Creek War of Independence, who was
brought to the notice of King George the other day. is
said to be V) years ci,', and the last survivors of oar
wars have often reached much greater age. Sir Joseph
I'ayrer, one of the King's physicians, has ssken to a man
who fought in the battle of Ptixar, which took place iu
1701. William Gillespie, who saved the colors at Preston
Pans, and is on the roll of Chelsea pensioners, died in
Dumfries at l''.', and the last survivor of the capture of
Gibraltar lived to be 11.",. Thomas Wimins, who died In
1791, near Tuarn, In Ireland, had fought in the battle of
Londonderry in 1701. and Phoele Ilessel, the Amazon, who
received a bayonet wound at Fontenoy in 1715, lived to be
108, receiving a pension from the private purse of Georgs
IV, until her death. A veteran of Culloden drew a pension
for sixty years and died aged 10, and a man, whose horse
was shot under him at Edgehill in 10-12 died, ninety four
years later, aged 113. There is now no survivor of Water
loo, but Madame GIvron, of Viesville, Haiiiault, saw the
ground drenched with blood, and Napoleon riding "as if in

Protection for Willing Workers.
THE cure for the paralysis of Industry which is caused
everywhere by the locking of horns between employe
and employer is available whenever the public is
ready to apply it. It consists of full 'protection for
the thousands of laborers who always prefer work to Idle
ness. Protection, however, does not lie only in long sticks
carried by the police for use In moments of positive vio
lence. It lies first iu public opinion so general and so de
termined to give men their rights under the law that the
misguided sentimentalist who keep pouring the encourage
ment of praise on the leaders of coercion shall not prevail
against It. Where law rules Idleness cannot last for any
length of time in any civilized community. New York Sua.
THE "STAR-SPAGLED BANNER;"
AN EPISODE 0E THE PHILLIPINE WAR.
THE music ceased. Every man listened. There was a hush in the air,
and the descending sun cast long shadows in the held. Through th
tangled masses of tree that hid the Philippine musicians, a few figures
could be seen moving boldly nut on the enemy's works.
Then a beautiful thing happened: From the distant camp came a rolling
throb of drums, and the insurgent baud swung grandly Into "The Star
Spangled Bauner." There was a moment of yawning surprise, and than
the whole Kansas rcgln ent. stretched out for nearly a mile, leaped from the
trenches and stood on top of the earthworks. Every soldier drew his heels
together, uncovered, and placed liis hat over his left breast.
It was the regulation salute to the national anthem. As the music rolled
forth, clear, high, splendid, the Kat saus straightened themselves and re
mained motionless while the enemy continued to play the one supreme psalm
of America.
The whole Hue was exposed. Not a man carried a weapon in bis hand.
Yet not a shot was tired. The Filipinos watched the bareheaded American
regiment, and played on. It was one of those psychological moments when
some profound sentiment unites thousands of hearts when the pentecostal
spirit descends, and the passions of men are stilled In the presence of a com
mon altar.
"Oh, say, does the star spangled lwnner still wave
O'er the land of the roe, and the home of the brave?"
What was it that stirred the insurgeut Asiatics to play that anthem?
What was It that Inspired a whole regiment to bare its breast to the
enemy in order to salute the music?
What power held the forces of death in leash while Kansan and Malay
faced each other that burning day? ' '
Why did the rugged men In khaki shed tears?
And when tbe anthem was dose, and tbe splendid line still stood erect
and uncovered on tbe breastworks, why did that roar of applause ascend
from the Philippine camp? v
Never was there s loftier scene on a Qeld where men were met to shed
each other's, blood s noble challenge, nobly met.
When It was over there was an Interval of silence: but as tbe light died
out of tbe sky, and the stars appeared, the sound of rifles was heard again.

The gradual disappearance of locusts
in Rhodesia ami other purs of South

writer on the agriculture of the region,
to a rapidly growing mould. The in-vl-ible
seeds are scattered by the wind,
and in favorable weather the growth
attacks and destroys vast swarms of
the Insects. Since the discovery during
the lust locu-il invasion, the mould has

Quite astonishing is the rapidity of

MOMSTER LOBSTER 1$
CAUGHT AITER A TIGHT.
This fish story is about a lobster,
but It's all right and Its veracity is
vouched for by Opt. Emery Gray,
one of the most hardy and daring
fishermen on the island of Vinalhav
en, ofT the Maine coast. In fact, Opt.
Gray is the hero of the story, or, at
least, shares first honors with the lob
ster. One morning, so the tale runs, the
doughty captain was strolling along
tlie shore near the mouth of Indian
creek with a clam hoe In bis hands,
when he caught sight of a lobster
claw protruding from the sand. The
unusual side to this discovery was
that the claw was about a hundred
CAI'T. OIIAV AND HIS MH.h'Tt'U,
times larger than any whole cnisteceati
the captain bad ever encountered.
Thinking It was but a lifeless relic
of some species belonging to ages a
go;:e, the captain gave the claw a
sharp blow with the hoe.
it proved to belong to tlie very ac
tive present, however, and snapping
its claw on the offending weapon, the
lobster nearly wrenched It from (.ray ii
hand. The timely appearance of nn-j
other fisherman enabled the captain
to dig up the giant beast from id
hole in the sand. Securing the loli
stcr with heavy flshlitie, the men
dragged it home, where it immediately
became the center of u group of as
tonished natives. The lobster wai
fastened to a pile supporting a dock,
but the following morning there was
a p'lc missing; also the lobster, which
had been named Hercules because of
its immense size. A searcVi soon re
vealed the crustaceans w'.ierea bouts
from I lie roily water caused by drag
ging the heavy pile, and he was re
captured after another fierce struggle
iu which the fishermen's boat was;
nearly wrecked by the beast's tremen-j
dous struggles. The animal died soon
after being recaptured, however, not
standing captivity well.

wen1 displayed all sorts of games and

boxes full of baseballs which ranged
in price from feu cents to a dollar and
