Boston Globe: It is a fact worth
thinking about in all its bearings that
over 21,OOO,OOO acres of the soil of
these United States are owEed by
citizens of European countries. This
vast acreage owned by the aliens is
equal to nine states of the size of
Massachusetts. The alien English
landlords in Ireland, who are proper
ly charged with nine-tenths of the
misery aud expressions endured by
the Irish people, do not own half as
many acres there as alien Europeans
own in this country. It is time con-

Red Heads Are Risky.
