THE COUNTRY EDITOR

Everybody has something to say, good
or bad, about the country editor, but DR..
Phillip Krohn comes to his rescue boldly
and hoists him high up on the ladder.
Says the Doctor: "But for ali of that
the average country editor is much more
OF a man than the average city editor. He
may not be as much of 8 smart Eleck.
But SO far IS real ability, versatility and
general utility are concerned, he will dou-
BILE discount him every time. He Is q
broader man, s more Independent person,
and, when 1t comes to rustling around ,
he can come nearer to making q whistle
out of pigs tall than any other person
on earth. II these chaps, who seem to
take special delight in ridiculing the coun-
try editor, did but know 1t, 1t takes more
brains, more sense, more tact, more gump-
ton, more everything to successfully con-
duct country newspaper, even though 1t
may be patent outside than it does
to run a city paper. 1t requires more
business and financial skill, and affords 8
wider scope for the exhibition Ct real
journalistic talent, not to say genius, to
make a country newspaper 'go' than
1t does city newspaper. The
conditions surrounding country
newspaper are such that chump, or
dude, or man of mediocre ability, would
be swAmped quicker than sail boat in a
hurricane, should he undertake TO run 1t
upon the plan on which many city papers
are conducted. 1t takes peculiar kind
of journalistic qualification to keep g
country newspaper 'tioat, and to preserve
an editor from landing either In lunatic
asylum or an almshouse."

cryss.iized into their foreign habits; only
they bring with them system OF slavery
and q form Of idolatry repulsIve to
American intelligence. Their vices are
glazing and disgusting, and their pres
ence in any locality where they con-
gregate in considerable numbers is q
blight like that cast by 9 pestilence. It
would be better for this country If they
could be excluded. Just how this
is to be accomplished is diff cult to deter.
mine. If we order them. to leave the
country, China may retsliste, in which
event our army Of foreign missionaries
would be sent back to us, our ships woul :
be driven from Chinese ports and our
merchants from Chinese cities. Il is 5
difficult problem and one that will not
soon be solved. The opium habit Is 8
curse, but we should not forget that
England, by the propsgaDds of grape and
canister, by iron clad missionaries and
the aid of fire and sword, forced this
virtue ~ upon an unwilling people, as
one of the blessingssot her civilization,
and, while the Celestial hiss introduced
the custom in this country, their exclu,
sion would not en- irely break 1t up, for
many native Americans have learned to
"hit the pipe" sno are 10th to discontinue
1t. The Chinese should not be permitted
to over-run the country. They should be
sent to colombo Rowan county, KY, or
to arbisrate the differences between the
HstHelds and McCoys CT West Virginia.
In this manner they can be thinned out.

THE IMMIGRATION MOVEMENT

THE IIMIGRATION MOVEMENT
While great many counties in Texas
have been at work doing all they can to
induce immigration to their respective
districts a great many more have been
idle and apparently careless in the mat
ter. 1t is somewhat discoursging to see
one section lag behind, but those counties
| that have raised money and spent 1t in
iudiciously advertising their lands and
towns can rest assured that their labor
has not been in vain. The Texas immi-
grafton fever has spread all over the
country, from Maine to California. II
has assumed such vast proportions that
not even the delinquency OF certain
counties in the state can retsrd il. Thou
sands and Thousands of people will come
here next g.. ring and are now preparing
to come, and they will seek out
and locate at such points IS
will seem most advantageous TO
them. Those counties that have pre-
pared printed matter and aGvestised
themselves will be the ones to secure the
best portion of these incoming immi-
grants. The days of nomadic wander
irgs IL search of suitable home. are
past. People do rot leave one place now
in search Of another until they know
where they are going, and when once
their minds are made up, they go there in
spite Of everything. Midland, Denton,
Pecos City, Abilene, Wichita Falls and 8
host Of other places are becoming well
known throughout the northwest. The
enterprising people of these places have
sent printed matter broadcast
and travellers on any railroad
in the United States cannot
fall to find Texas ''fyers" staring him in
the face at every turn. Besides what has
been sent cut through the various agen-
cies. thousands OF letters have been sent
by individuals. If every man In each
county would take the trouble to mail
some CT this printed matter to his friends
and acqu.intarces in the old states, as
hey are doing in some counties, it would
accomplish more than perhaps any Other
method Of distribution. Is is difficult to
get the data into the hands Of those for
whom 1t is intended, and where the home
citizens undertake the task that DIM :ulty
is obyiated.

THE LAUNDRY NEWS FIGHT.

The laundry men Of the United States
through their organizations are making q
bitter fight on the. Chinese, presumably
on account of the fact that John has 8
penchant for washing the linen of the
American sovereign and the Senators and
Congressmea ere being furnished data
giving reasons why the Acknowledged Ce
lestisls should be sent out Of the coun-
try and the door closed behind them.
Senator Mitchell has introduced q bill
providing for the absolute exclusion Of
the Chinese from American soil and be
will urge Its passage energetically.
There is feeling that is becoming pretty
generally universal that Cinnamon should
not be permitted TO overrun this country.
They do not and can not sesimil.te with
our people, and while they msyspass their
lives among Us they are still foreigners
and aliens who know nothing about
American institutions and care less.
They came to this country IN bondage,
live In boIdSge and die in bondsge, and
they are accustomed to euch conditions
OF life that they can underbid the native
Americans Ia the labor market and mon
opolize the field. The Coolie is the most
unwelcome immigrant that reaches our
shores. Other nationslities send their
scum, which st the outset is certainly SIS
