A great many men are given credit for
being heroes who are not entitled to it.
Farmer Adams. who lives near the Evon
Valley station, on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, is worthy to be classed among the
real heroes of the world. Last Friday
night, when on his way home from the viii
lage, he discovered that number Of rail
road ties had been fastened to the railroad
track Of the Pennsylvania road. with the
evident intention Of wrscking a passenger
train that was due in q short time. He
Immediately set TO work to remove the ties.
He had scarcely begun his task when a shot
was fired at him from a wood near by. The
bullet passed through his hat. and he was
ordered to move along" and let the OBJ
struction alone. He paid no attention to
the command. Three other shots were fired
at him as he struggled to clear the track,
two of which struck him. He succeeded in
clearing the track aud the train passed
safely. Then, weak from his wounds and
loss Of blood, he walked back to the village
and informed the authorities Of what had
occurred. II tho railroad doesn't reward
that man handsomely it doesn't deserve to
have friends.

Since the cholera has broken out In Ham
burg, from which city a great many immi-
grants of the least desirable kind reach this
country, the newspapers are beginning to
sgitate the question whether it wouldn't be
advisable TO shut out from this country all
but the most desirable immigrants. We
are in a position now to pick and choose,
and there is no reason why we should ac-
cept any but the best. The time is past for
the sentimental sort Of stuff about this be-
ing the place of refuge Of the oppressed of
all nations.
Mr.. Henry Rood, 10 an article In the
September Forum, speaking on this subject
says: "One who desires 10 study the vital
phase Of the immigration problem should
go to the anthracite fields OF Pennsylvania
There IA will fud one of the richest regions
of the earth overrun with horde OF Hunga-
rians, Slavg Polanders, Bohemians, Arabs,
italians. Sicilians, Russians, and Tyrolese
of the lowest class a section almost de-
nationalixed by the SCUM of the continent,
where women hest ate to drive about the
county roads by day, where unarmed men
are not safe after the sinking of the sun.
There he will see prosperous little cities like
Hazleton, Mahanoy, Ashland, Shenandoah,
with fine business houses and educated
people OF fortune, and surrounding these
towns great wastes of the common wealth
diseased by thousands and tens Of thousands
of foreigners who have no desire TO become
Americans, who emigrate to the United
States for "A few years to make
money, who have driven to the cities and
70 the west the great army Of English
Scotch, Irish, Welsh. Germans, and Ameri-
cans who once gave stability to the coal re-
gtons; In short, a condition Of affairs which,
If equaled elsewhere, may become more
than national problem--a national peril

they can accumulate enough money 90 make

Il is clear that tubs country Is not benefited

Rood calls attention. Ths sooner our gates
