AMERICANS IN CANADA.
Another Mid scare for "the LAY of
the SHOWS"
P~hIladelphla Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
Some tlmid persons in Canada are dis
turbed lest the growth OF immigration 10
the Dominion from the United States shall
in time result in the formation OF an Amer
lean party favorable to the overthrow OF
the English yoke and to annexation with
this country. The bulk OF American i'm
migration Is going to western Canada and
apparently is welcomed by the British au-
thorities, who are Of opinion that the
Americans will seek naturalization so as
to have a voice in the government OF Can
ada. and that they are settlers in good
faith and have no Interior purpose. Ac-
cordinE to the Montreal Herald time was
when Canada was an outpost OF Europe,
but now the native born constitute 81 per
cent OF the population and dominate gov
eminent and commerce. According to the
census OF 1901 the population OF the Do
minion was 5,371. 051, OF whom 4.671 sos
were Canadian born. The province OF On
tario had 1858, 7SS Canadian natives. 100, 900
English, 5000 Irish and 1851 Scotch. In
the province OF Quebec there were 1850 100
Canadian born.
or those not born in the province 20, 313
come from Ontario, a number almost as
large as that accounted for by all the i'm
migration from England, which Is 20,5s9,

Scotch and Irish immigration, 21.6ls. TAX
ing the country over, OF those not Canadian
born, the English born are most numerous,
being POI, 2s3, and those born in the United
States next, OF whom there are 1877, S91.
Ireland stands sponsor for 101, 62S, Scotland
for 1851 and France for 1895 Plainly,
the roots are less numerous than De leaves
Of the tree. Our fathers ruled by con-
quest. but we by right Of birth"
Undoubtedly the discovery of gold in the
Klondike region gave great stimulus to
immigration to Canada from the United
States. Many persons by investigation
found that Canada's climate is not so rigor-
Gus nor its soil so sterile as they had
imagined, Just as the popular mlsconception
OF Siberia as one vast frozen waste has been
shown to be erroneous. While the mineral
treasures of the Yukon and it's tributaries
revived interest in the Alaskan boundary
line and prompted Canada to Jealous and
unwarranted aggression, It also set on foot
a movement for the final and irrevocable
determination OF the boundary. This solu-
ton, although 1t is being slowly approached
is, nevertheless, inevitable. and It's accom-
p%lishment will serve to put at rest conflict
ing claims and allay friction.
Whether Americans who settle in Canada
will sbandon their allegiance to the United
States is a matter for conjecture. 1t is al
most without precedent, so far as our citi-
zens are concerned. They are tenacious
OF their freedom under the flag Of the re-
public. For that matter, 1t is characteristic
Of the English, likewise. that they cling
Loyalty to the land of their birth. and often
1t is only after long years OF separation
and when their children and grandchildren
have attained manhood, that they consent
to take out the papers that make Ameri-
can citizens out OF British subjects.

Within her eyes there is that queer ex-

So frequently described as "far away

At times a smile will DER her fair face
A haif-forced smile that's quickly doomed

Then will her ripe lips move and she will
A name, then coax the smile to come
again,
And try, while thinking of the darling boy,
To make herself believe she's full OF Joy.

And read the page on which her life is

Has she in fancy pictured him Alright?
VIII theirs be love that death alone can

She tells herself she Is a fool TO freti
She knows she's all in all to him-and yet
She hears a ring! She knows who pressed
the button!
She flies with smiles to meet him at the
door,
And once again she feeds like eager glut-
Upon the story told her oft before.
The clouds have gone and every doubt has
She feels no traces of her late unrest,
The fears that so oppressed her have been

As lies her trustful head upon his breast.
She feels she'll never doubt his love again

Party Platforms and Performances
Respecting Trusts.
Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.

Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post.
When a boy wants to lift a cat II seems
the natural and obvious thing to grasp her
tail. Most children mistake 1t for a handle
once. Then they approach the cat eau
tiously and learn that the way to pick her
up without getting scratched is to seize
her by the scruff OF the neck.
For twenty years now we have been
picking up the trusts by their slippery tails
and all our scars and scratches have not
taught US the right way. We have hauled
them into court on laws that did not touch
them, before judges that could not convict
them. Conventions have exhausted the
language Of promise, orators OF denuncia-
ton, and the net result has been nothing.
The problem has grown, the effort to meet
1t has shrunk; for one congress, at least,
was found to enact the Sherman law.
We discriminate now between good trusts
and bad trusts-that is all. and we are not
absolutely sure that there is any such thing
as a good trust. But granting that there is,
it is good simply because 1t wants to be
or because It believes that goodness pays in
the long run-not because IL is compulsory.
And the bad trust is bad simply because
there is no sufficient reason on the statute
books why It should not be. and because It
has some grounds for belief that the long
run" in America means forever.
Has congress learned nothing in the
twenty years that It has done nothing ex-
cept to enact a moribund law? The people
have a pretty clear idea Of the way In
which trusts have been built I'D. Tariff
and the railroad are the twin breasts
which have sucked them. In the cause
lies the germ Of the remedy. Can the
people make their representatives turn
promise into performance. windy theories
into practical laws. and pick up the bad
trusts by the scruff Of the neck and throw
them out OF the house?
Roosevelt brings ability and willingness
to meet the situation. but he is fighting
cats with canaries. II he fail with the
Sherman law, will congress back him up
with one that will work?
Democrats and republicans alike bristle
and growl and bark at the sight Of q trust.
Will they bite?

Personal NOTES.

The present popularity OF the Panama
hat must be torture to Senator Morgan.
While 129 officers Of the British army
are qualified as interpreters in French, 1O6
are similarly qualified in Russian, eighty
one in German, but only one in Dutch.
Permission has at last been given by the
German authorities for women to attend
political meetings. They must sit In special
places, however. and make no speeches.
August Won Ende, a pioneer German resi-
dent of Wisconsin, is dead. His grand
father was a German nobleman whose es-
tates were confscated during the Napoleonic
invasion.
When Andrew Carnegie was struggling for
wealth in his early days the only recrea-
tion he allowed himself was an occasional
fishing expedition. Now that the wealth
has come TO him he is an ardent angler,
Baron Max Oppenheim. imperial German
counselor OF legation, Cairo. Egypt, is in
Colorado as the representative Of Emperor

Pension Commissioner Ware exhibits this
communication. which he received from a
pious Illinois widow, who believes that
faith without works is not enough: Dear
Mr.. Wsre-I am trusting in the Lord to get
my pension, but as / need the money, l do
hope you will give a little help yourself"
Russell sage's family and family physi-

SHOULD WORK BOTH WAYS.
suppose the Rule Were Applied TO
Corporation Managersf

Baltimore American.
A New York court has recently con-
demned a man to Imprisonment on account
OF his false reports Of depreciation on the
financial status Of the Brooklyn Rapid
Transit company. That is all right.
SANDER should be always punishable.
When a man deliberately assails the credit
of a corporation from speculative motives
be adds a darker hue to his guilt. No man
should be permitted to scandaliZe either a
person or corporation for mere mercenary
purposes.
There is another side to this question
however. II a corporation is victimiEed
by the false statements of an Individual
there is an immediate demand to have him
prosecuted. 1t is criminal, so the corpora
tion's champions claim, to circulate fabrica-
| ions with the view of hurting the markets
status Of a corporation. The position OF
these champions is well taken. Does the
rule work both ways however? Suppose
the insiders of a corporation plan a set Of
| rumors with the view Of enhancing the
organizations stock above it's real value;
are they, too, amenable to prosecution?
SANDER Of the corporation hurts the cor
poration; exaggeration OF the corporations
profits and successes hurts the public. In
both instances there is an application OF
the SAM principle. To attack the com
pany's credit hurts It's standing because 1t
depreciates the price Of the stocks below
their actual value. TO bolster up the COM
pany's credit hurts the public because 1t
advances the price OF the stocks above
their actual value. II one is to be penal
lied, why not the other? Surely the AFFAIRS
OF the public are OF as much consequence
as those of a corporation. II the law inter-
poses it's hand and says to a speculative
scandal monger. stop, you shall not inIure
the market value OF a corporation" 1t GER
tainly should be equally as diligent in pre-
venting a ruthless fleeing OF the public.
As between the two wrongs, the latter is
certainly the more harmful.
The importance OF this is very manifest
at tails time, owing TO the recent swindlings
to which the public has been subjected.
There have been any number OF incorrect
statements about the excellent condition
and achievements OF various companies,
made for the express purpose Of inducing
the public to pay more for the stocks than
the stocks were really worth. In other
words, the public has been allured into
paying high prices by false representations
These purchases, made on misstatements
by men who conspired to accomplish thai
end, have Invariably resulted in big imam
cial losses to the public. Disparagements
are wrong because they entail losses and
are punishable; surely false overestimates
are wrong owing to like consequences and
should be Just as mercilessly prosecuted
The public is entitled TO full protection
from all swindling schemes, 1t matters moi
whether they be petty games OF the street
or big games in the domain Of nnanee.

Brave in Defeat.


Philadelphia Ledger.
General Dewet's advice to his men TO
go home and become loyal British subjects,
is eminently sensible. They have made
their tight, have won the admiration Of the
world by their bravery and endurance, and
have been beaten under circumstance that
reflect nothing but honor upon them, and,
as they can do nothing more in the way
Of effective fighting, their only right plan
now is to resume peaceful relations, and
try to live as tremendously with their con-
querors as possible. By so doing they will
get along very much better than they would
by persisting in regarding themselves as a
beaten but unconquered people.

COMPLIMENTS A GALLANT roe.
KInE Edward the sIsnderers
of the Beers.
Washlngton Post.

hEllllIkAbu 4 toAs
Once more Edward VII has earned the
admiration OF the civilized world and
shown himself TO be a gallant and chival-
rous gentleman. In replying, three or four
days ago, to the addresses Of the lord
mayor and the London county council he
took occasion TO speak Of the Beers as "a
brave and determined people and to COM
pliment them on the good faith in which
they are accepting the situation.
Looking back TO the early days Of the
war in South Africa and recalling the COM
ments then made upon the Beers by our
Anglomaniacs at home and the subsidized
Americans abroad how mean and pitifuI
their utterances seem compared with the
generous tribute Ensland's king has Just
paid to the greatest and most splendid
fighting men the world has ever seen! We
recall the vile campaign Of Islander and de-
traction. OF brutal and contemptuous dis
paragement. Of cruelty and false witness,
waged against those indomitable patriots
by the emissaries Of Chamberlain's pawn
brokers and by the chorus Of eager AmerI-
can toadies ready to sing to any tune they
thought would please England. There was
nothing too false or venomous by stupid
to say about the Beers in those disgraceful
days. They were barbarous. dishonest.
swinish. cowardly. II was a duty to the
cause OF civilization and human progress
to eXterminate them. They numbered the
earth and England bore aloft the white
banner OF righteousness In It's enterprise
Of conquest and exsltstion. Why. the mere
memory Of that carnival OF wickedness is
sickening, even at this late day.
But the king has now shown them how
gentlemen feel toward a gallant foe and
has set the example of chivalrous speech
concerning them. II It be possible TO In
ject knightly grace into a funkey's soul
OF which we have strong doubt-this ut
terance by Edward VII should benent the
generation.

If the democrats in congress have any
idea that the attacks upon the American
army constitute an issue with which to
go before the people they will soon be
disillusioned. The resentment against
the detractors of the American soldier
is plainly exhibited on every occasion
by men and women of all classes and
conditions. If the democratic generals
would go before the people OF that issue
they would not have a %corporals guard

A DEMAND Fur LABOR.

The indications are that the demand
for labor during the harvest season will
be very much in excess of the supply.
This is now the case in Kansas and
there will be n steadily growing de-
mand elsewhere. The most urgent call
comes from California, where the lack
of labor threatens serious consequences
to the fruit crop. Only the early fruit
is ripe and going forward to market
and the enormous crop to follow Is still
growing. A San Francisco paper states
that it is the opinion of experienced
fruit growers and handlers that half
Of this fine crop will rot on the ground
for lack of labor to secure and a " it.
This will mean a loss to the state of
about $4,000 600. California also has
a heavy hay and grain crop and an
increased acreage in beets, which calls
for more labor than usual.
There will be employment in the har-
vest work of the west for a great deal
more labor than it now appears will
be available and it is probable that a
higher price will be paid for such labor
than ever before. There are unem.
ployed in the cities who might supply
much of the demand, but it is difficult
to get such to go into the harvest field,
whatever the inducements offered. The
situation shows that there is still room
here for more Industrious people from
abroad
