HomEwARo BOUND IMMIGRANTS.

The ocean vessels have been carrying
back thousands Of the immigrants who
arrived in this country this year from
the south of Europe especially. One
steamer carried 1900 from the port of
New York on one trip and the exodus
in one week amounted to nearly 10000.
The overplus of laborers of their class
In the eastern states is credited with
the return movement.
There has been heavy volume of
the somewhat undesirable class of inn
migration. Thousands of common la
borers, attracted by the demand for
workingmen of all classes in the Unit
ed States, have crowded thru the ports
Of entry to find 1t necessary to go far
Their to find employment Disappoint-
ed in finding land where dollars grow
on bushes, many Of them We're ready
to return to their native country as
soon as they earned and saved their
passage money.
There is none of this hegira that this
country cannot afford to lose. The real
immigrants who have come determined
to make home and new citizenship
are not going back. So far as the cheap
larober of southern Europe is con-
eerned, the United States can get along
very we'll without him. The Scandi-
navian and German farmer and hand
worker is not departing from the coun-
try of their opportunity. and if the the
box car contingent, which railway con-
etruction has made familiar, should all
take ship, there would be little lost of
true strength and real citizenship.

they talk now of the fierce struggle
going on in the industrial world, and
most of these struggles are destructive:
but there is no ground for any grave
fear, so long as majority of wage

socialists as they have done SO far. This
thing to be regretted and the thing to

iastic idea. Happily there are no evil
dences that socialism Is growing In

SOCIALISM.
[Cedar Rapids Republican,

lCedar Rapids Republican,
The whole crusade of socialism is
hopeless because it begins at the
wrong end. Socialism utterly disre-
CARDS the individual. 1t takes no
thought of him. And yet it talks about
a perfect state, as though the state
would be better than those of whom it
is composed. The only doctrine that
promises any progress, is the doctrine
of individualism, which teaches that
nothing can be strong unless the in
dividuals composing 1t are strong and
that there is no hope of righteousness
or morality in the nation unless indi-
vidual hearts and lives are made pure
