Washington. July 23.-There will be a red

National Convention" said ]. A Dixon OF
FL Paso. Recently Ex-Governor Jim Hogg
has issued a pronunciamento to the farm
ers calling on them to organize and rescue
the country from the rule Of the politicians.
1 do not think this blast Of the tocsin from
Governor Hogg will produce any big re-
suits. There was time when he was all
powerful in Texas, but, while he still has
considerable influence, his counsel is no
longer regarded as infallible.
Another thing that will do him no good
is his alleged opposition to Senator Cor
man. Texas is a strong German State.
Both our Senators, Culberson and Bailey,
are known to be in favor of the Maryland
mans nomination. Unless some great
change takes place. in spite of the Hogg
opposition, Texas will send German dele
cation to the convention"

Abandoned Farms.

A Boston company has taken up the
speciality of selling abandoned farms.
abandoned farms" is !. feature of
civilization with which our Georgia
and southern people are not familiar.
In the early history of New England
farming was very necessarily a prime
occupation with the pilgrim people.
In order to secure themselves against
Indian attacks the whites built their
cabins on hills and cultivated the land
downwards. The reason for that was
to have vision all around for the dis
covery of stealthy redskins and the adj
vantage Of position in q fight.
When the Indian was reduced from
a menace to a VagabOnd and an era
of manufacturing set in, The mills and
factories were located IN the valleys
along waterpower courses. The hill
farmers soon found it easier and cheap
er to go down with their families and
do mill work, buying their provisions
from farmers of the west, than to re-
main upon their acres and live by ag-
riculture. So they moved and with
great unanimity.
The farms thus abandoned soon be-
came worthless and for years a 'bu-
reau of abandoned farms" has been
kept open by the state III the capitol
at Boston to effect sales Of these farms
to people in other states and cities
not to be used as farms any more, but
as country outing places for the sum
mer time. The new company has
taken up the work of so disposing of
these farms to Boston, New York and
other city people who wish TO own a
country lodge for summer retirement
and rest The eastern states live on
Goldfish and western foodstuffs and the
people VINO have swapped their farms
for factory service live between strikes
on their surplus savings or contribu-
tons sent in by the LABOR unions of
the nation.

The Immigration Injunction.

Speaking of foods is reminder
that the greatest food with which this
country hes to deal is the tidal waves
of European immigration almost daily
washing UP on our shores.
Europe is overpopulated. She has
not sufficient food or work for her peo-
pie Military service is compulsory and
taxation is heavy. These pressures are
forcing millions to come to America.
where they have been taught to be-
lieve lies TIE rediscoyercd Eden of
Mankind. Europe can lose TO us 2,000,-
coo people each year and still keep on
increasing her own populations by
new births. The cheerful and decimat-
ing custom Of embryotic infanticide so
common IN this country has not yet
found a welcome in the continental
countries.
New York with her 100000 people
has only 362 600 born of native Ameri-
can white parents and is almost as
foreign a city today as Berlin. Paris
or London. The United States has
67,000,000 white people and 26,000,000
of them are of foreign origin-that is,
nearly two out of every five! And
the figures show such remarkable
facts as that Massachusetts has more
foreigners in her population than all
the southern states combined-Texas
alone having more than half OF that
southern quota.
1t is likely, also, that the inundation
will grow greater in future years.
What the effects of it will be upon our
American civilization and government
no man can predict But already we
see some signs in the dragging of the
public schools into politics in order
to compel the states to teach German
in the schools attended by the children
of German citizens. Soon we may
have schools for Frenchmen, schools
for Italians, Polack schools, Russian
and Greek schools. But the problem
of what may come is too much for us.
