ONLY 12, 900 of the 2S5, ,630 immigrants who came to America during the last fiscal year intended to settle in the south. Yet no part of the world pos sesses greater practical advantages for an industrious man or a capitalist than the section thus neglected. If there is anything in the southern states, politi- cal or social, to repel the worthy i'm migrant CT the man with surplus money to invest the southern people should take pains to remove it, and they alone can do it.

THE writers of a generation ago who contended that the downfall of slavery meant heavy decline in the cotton crop were very much in error. In 1880 a crop of 1000, 900 bales was reached for the first time, and the 2,OO0, coo mark was passed in 1s43. The average crop in the ten years ending fSG0 was 3,SS4, 300 bales. In this decade the average has been 6,0S0,0 900 bales, and the esti- mate of this years crop varies from s. 500,o0O to 10, ,00O bales. These fig. ures indicate that free labor is about twice as productive as slave labor

THE brutality and accidents of the Yale-H Harvard football game are being talked about more in amateur sporting circles than any other one topic. There has been an outcry over football accidents and unfair work before, but in no other game has there ever been in this country such disgraceful ex- hibition. This is the verdict alike by experts and uninitiated. The agree ment is general that the game has re- ceived great setback by the fierce and brutal play witnessed this year. Pugilism is not to be mentioned in the same brsa.b with it.

WHY do directory men always take pains to get the names of all the wid- ows, and mention them as such, while they never publish widower as a widower? Is it not as important that the single state of a widower should be known as it is that the loneliness of a widow should be announced? Let us hope that the directory men may come to see the justice of treating widows and widowers alike.

THE eighteen provinces of China speak several different languages, and are loosely held together by an admin istrative policy at Pelin which is near ing an end. The empire is evidently about to break up, and even if the pres ent claims of Japan are settled, China, as known to the present generation, will soon be thing of the past. His tory will be made along the eastern borders of Asia during the next few years
