Our country is bound to grow. In-
ducements to immigration continue and
are having their effect. Since the GEN.
sus was taken, two years ago, the popu-

most exactly million from immigration
alone. At New York there were 493,
ESQ immigrants landed in the twelve
months ending July l, 1902. Italians,
Poles and Slavs now predominant in
stead of the races from northern and
western Europe, as formerly, and the
need of more stringent restrictive meas
ures is more and more apparent. The
immigration problem ia getting to be an
important if not a serious one.

President Roosevelt is established at
bis home at Oyster Bay, n. Y, for the
heated term. He has some rooms con-
yeniently fitted up in a building down
town for his secretary and stenographers

homes and has no hotel accommodations

there was. The President has great
fondness for home life and is enjoying
his vacation greatly.

President Roosevelt spoke in Schenley
Park, Pittsburg, Penn, July 4th, to
acres of people, estimated at 100000 in
number. One striking feature of the
event was the singing of the "Star
Spangled Banner by a chorus. AS the
singing began, President Roosevelt arose
and removed his hat. Immediately the
men in the vast audience removed their
singing of this national hymn. 1t was

The President proposes to leave moth
ing possible undone to cope with trusts
whose operations are in restraint of
trade and adverse to the business we'll
fare of the country. Not only is he,
through his attorney general, doing his
best to bring to book certain trusts, but
he will advise the enactment OF more eff
fective laws to this end, and will bring
the best talent at his command to bear
upon the framing of measure to be pre-
sented to Congress at the session that
will convene in December. We believe
the people of the country are with the
President in this move. They admire
him for his courage and will stand by
him.

freight than can possibly be hand

made that the increase was en-
tirely voluntary, it il probable that
the company realized that it was
in no condition for any sort of in
terruption. and preferred that ac-
ton to the prospects of a strike.
