Board Of immigration, to be placed under
the charge OF the Bureau Of Labor Statistics.
The State Labor Commissioner Is said to be
the author OF the bill. It's most resolute ad-
versary Is the Hon. LEVI CHuBBUcK, Secre-
tary of tho State Board of Agriculture. He
thinks that his agricultural reports ought
not to be supplanted by reports Of the Board
OF Immigration. He believes himself able
to do Justice with his pen to the resources Of
Missouri, and no doesn't want his speciality
TO be interiered with or Ills Office minifed.
Some Of his Jealous rivals, persons who grub
for statistics In dull and sptritless fashion,
assert that LEWIS reports are not collections
of facts. but Of pretty ficttons. These envi-
GUS persons are publishing selections from
his reports with view to discrediring his
capacity as . hunter OF thought-food for
grangcrs. These selections reveal In the

CHUBBUcK ls no slouch, 80 to speak, when he
jumps into history. Sec how he brings Rome
and the ancient Britons before the wonder
ing farmers Of Missouri:
