immigration Into the South. !

The indications favor a radical in
crease of immigration into the south
ern states. In September a steamship
line will be put in commission be-
tween New Orleans and italian ports,
and it is expected that it will turn into
the southern states the great tide Of
Italian immigration which for many
years has been coming to these shores
and for the most part stopping in the
larger northern cities. Arrangements
to send Italian colonies into Texas
immigrants offer themselves in other
states they will be taken care Of. The
cause for#kthis southern demand for
labor is the cotton crop. There is q
labor famine this summer in Missis-
sippi and Louisiana cotton fields, and
the problem Of taking care Of the
crop is just as serious as the problems
Of drouth and rain which sometimes
confront the farmers Of the wheat
and corn belts. No machinery has
been invented which will pick cotton.
The work is all done by hand, and at
certain seasons Of the year the de-
mand for labor is very great.
| The attention of the commissioner
Of immigration, Mr.. Sargent has been
is on record as saving that he believes
the near future is to witness a very
heavy increase in immigration to the
southern states, more particularly
from Italy and other south European
countries. Such an immigration
would be welcome. It would help
solve the city problems Of the north
would introduce white labor into
southern fields. It would mean, in
the latter case, that the foreigners
would quickly develop into a progress
sive and energetic type Of citizenship
of which the country would be proud.
It Is impossible to believe that the
northern European people who have
come to the United States during the
past; fifty years. and who now form a
stable and intelligent foreign element
in our composite population, would be
what they are II they had been hud-
died together in the great cities They
are what they are In part because
they went to the farms. The imni-
grafton from southern italy, while not

NEW CLUB IN THE ELEVENTH
The Ton1ahawk Republican Promises
to Do Things.

The Tomahawk Republican club is
a new organization which has sprung
into life in the eleventh ward, and
which is likely to cut a figure in
eleventh ward politics. The club has
organized with a charter membership
of thirty young men. It's officers are
DR.. PR. Thomas, president; F. N.
Thompson, vice president; Charles
Dalrymple, secretary, and John Lang
lie, treasurer. Every; charter member
is pledged to bring in ten new mem
bers at the next meeting, which will
take place Monday evening in the club
rooms at Ninth street and Twenty
first avenue S. This will make a
membership of 500. Next Monday
evening addresses are scheduled to be
made by Loren Fletcher and John
Schlener. Esd. 10,
81 During the campaign the club will
meet every Monday evening. After
the campaign, the clubrooms will
still be maintained, but the organiza-
ton allowed to take on more of q
social form until the next political
campaign.

Unrest in New York.

There. will be, political unrest in
both parties in New York until the
gubernatorial nominations have been
made. Governor Odell, whose politi-
cal future may possibly be threatened
by the election of Roosevelt to the
presidency, is understood to be in
curing among the up districts to know
how they would regard him as a can
didate for third term. The presi-
dent, on the other hand. has favored
Elihu Root for the nomination. but
Root has been compelled to declne.-
1t is barely possible that OdelPs quiet
opposition may have had something
to do with that declination.
In the democratic party the situa-
ton is better. Murphy, the Tam
many chieftain, who has failed to
'make good as a state or national
leader, has made up his mind that he
wants the gubernatorial nomination
for Mayor Mcclellan or some other
man close to Tammany. David B.
HILL on the other hand, opposes the
Murphy idea, and says that John B.
Stanchfeld or Martin W. Littleton
ought to run for governor.
Tammany seems to be on the point
of demanding that as the price of
its support of Judge Parker, it be
permitted to dictate the gubernatorial
nomination. Governor Odell seems
to be on the point of demanding as
the price of his loyalty to Roosevelt
that he be given a third nomination
for governor, or that the nomination
go to some man whom he can con-
troll Altogether it is highly interest
ing situation, and it may still further
complicate the New York presidential
question.
S6 With Tammany supporting Parker
loyalty, and Odell and the state ma
chine as loyalty supporting Roosevelt,
the outcome in New York would be
I, exceedingly uncertain. But if either
Tammany or Odell were to weaken, or
supporty it's candidate only perfume
torily, New York's thirty-nine cleo
toral votes, long before election day
could be placed as certainly in the
a electoral tables as the electoral votes
OF Minnesota or Mississippi.

TILE RINEHARTs PLATFORM
Favors Municipal Ownership and 81
Fares for a Quarter.

Orville Rinehart, democratic can
didate for mayor, has announced his
platform, which is constructed of two
main issues-municipal ownership. Of
gas and electric light plants and re-
duced fares on streetcars.
Mr.. Rinehart says he will endeavor,
if elected, to advance the principles
Of the Democratic Municipal Owner
ship league, by which organization he
has been drafted as a mayoralty can
didate.
While it is true, explains Mr.. Rine-
hart, that under the present city char
ter the mayor is little more than a
superintendent Of police, 'yet, by Wig
orous exercise Of his powers of rec
should be able, in large degree, to
shape the policy and conduct Of the
city government.
IT believe the time has arrived
says Mr.. Rinehart, when, in a great
city like Minneapolis, economic
questions as we'll as police regula-
tons should be taken into considera-
ton; while I would enforce a decent
observance Of the laws against i'm
morality and vice, I would also en-
deavor to give it's citizens the best
and cheapest of public service. be-
lieve it is better for the city to own
and operate the public-service corpo-
rations than for the public-service
corporations to own and operate the
city,"
He believes the best method Of pre-
venting official corruption is to put
| the corporations seeking special priv
| ileges under city ownership This he
| believes to be especially practicable
| with the gas and electric plants.
In other cities some street railways
give six tickets for a quarter, some
Scent fares during certain hours
| others special rates to school chill
dren. Minneapolis should enjoy equa
| advantages.
| Municipal ownership will be The
keynote in the. campaign agains
Mayor Haynes nomination.

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Peddlers' Licenses.
tor &c rbo 7o,,r,,o1

-
. Will you permit me to register an EN-
phatic protest against the action Of the
city council license inspector or whomso-
ever is responsible for preventing farmers
from selling their vegetables on the streets
and at the houses of this city. I have
long. had the opinion that the grocers,
who were responsible for the enactment
Of the peddlers' license ordinance were
in mighty small business. This is far from
being a free country so long as citizen is
required to pay a burdensome tax for the
right to transact an honest and useful
business. But, admitting that nominal
tax may possibly be legitimate as po-
lice regulation, the enactment and en-
forcement of what amounts to a prohibit
ton Of a farmer selling a few fresh eggs
and few ears of new corn to the house
wives Of the CITY,. is not only an idiotic
outrage upon the farmers but believe an
Infringement upon the constitutional rights
of all citizens. I am sufficiently interest
ed in this matter to wish to see it tested
in the courts. and will gladly contribute
SIS to a fund for that purpose.
Edward J. Brown.
It has been tested and sustained In the
supreme court of the state. The law is that
peddlers must pay license in lieu OF
taxes on store and the supreme court
has said that it is valid.
