Promoting Immigration.

The house had up for discussion to-
day the immigration bill, but laid it
over for future consideration. It
originally carried provision for an
appropriation of $4,000, but that item
has been cut out, as all appropriations
must be passed upon by the appropria-
tions committee.
The chairman of the appropriations
committee stated during the discussion
OF the bill today that he favored an
appropriation but did not intimate how
much his committee would be likely to
recommend.
Whether the activity of other Sec
tions has compelled recognition Of the
fact that Minnesota must advertise, or
whether it be due to sudden apprecia-
ton of the fact that thru advertising
only can we expect to secure that share
of the westward movement Of the pop
ulatlon to which our state is entitled, is
not material here. Either is a good
reason. The last is the one which anv
successful business man applies to his
own affairs. The comparison is not
unhappy. Minnesota needs business in
the same sense that a merchant does,
We might drag along in the normal and
natural rate Of increase in population
and wealth and do we'll. A man who
carries on business may keep even for
a while with haphazard, unscientific
policy as to advertising; but if he
would thrive as he ought and keep
abreast of the procession, he must
study how to, attract trade and study
it hard. Minnesota needs to study the
same subject, and the first essential to
any successful effort is to provide
enough money to do some effective and
intelligent advertising. The amount
originally proposed is small enough
compared with what other sections are
appropriating, but it is very much bet
ter than the nothing which we have
done heretofore. We venture to saw
that no money appropriated by the
legislature will produce larger returns
in material ways than that set aside for
the promotion Of immigration and there

not profit by it.
Unfortunately, in certain Of the older
sections Of the state it seems to be as
sumed that these sections have nothing
to gain by promoting immigration and
there is a lack Of enthusiasm toward
any effort of this kind. This is certain
ly shortsighted, for it would be quite
impossible to bring into any part Of this
state new people and new capital with

The legislature has come to the rescue
OF Minneapolis in the effort for home
rule charter in an effective way The final
passage Of Senator Gjertsen's bill means
that the next charter submitted will he
given to the voters on separate ballot,
and so will be brought directly to the
attention Of each voter. 1t will not be
killed by neglect again. The experience
Of the state with a separate ballot for con-
stitutional amendments is a guarantee
that a very large proportion Of the vote
will be cast either for or against the
proposition submitted in this way.

There is a stagnant little stream in the stock

German perfected process for converting the
scum into lard. This process is in use today
Bubbly creek is regularly skinned and the re.

THE UNEASY CHAIR

ARTHUR UPsoN's DRAMATIC POEM
"THE clTY."-In these days of litera-
ture made largely by artisans rather than
artists, 1t Is good to come upon a piece
OF work done in the spirit Of the true
artist Such a piece of work is Arthur
Opson's The City, a dramatic poem deal
ing with the incident of the embassy sent
by Abgar, king of Odessa, to ask Jesus
to come and heal him Of mortal illness.
The narrative is found in the "Ecclesias-
itical History Of Eusebius' Pamphili. 1t
is one of those sidelights of history full
OF meaning to those who would know the
concurrent influence OF Chrst's life as
felt beyond the confines Of Palestine, and
full OF poetry as seen thru the long per-
spectiVe Of centuries of Christian civiliza-
ton. The subject was, therefore, worthy
of approach In the. spirit of the artist,
and in that spirit has Mr. Epson nodded
the story into dramatic form, tho not for
the stage. He has done his work. too.
In way to merit for it high place in
the poetry Of the present time. 1t is
poetry OF real depth and permanence of
value, because it touches the deep things
Of life reverently and beautifully. This
is well shown in. Christ's reply to Abgar's
embassy in, part as follows: +: .
s %# s ::$2 81 Abgar, forasmuch
AS ye believed on me whom We knew not,
Shall happiness be yours. For it is wrote
Concerning me that they should not believe
Who have beheld, that these who dwell afar
And see not might have faith and life abundant.
And then in this by Abgar when the
true significance Of the message breaks
upon him: s... .-...-.-.r
Not distance, nor yet death, shall separate
The souls of those whose vision is made clear.
Lo, he abideth with us eyermore -
Who would not come to us the way Of flesh,
And in the spirit makes us whole. r. -. .
That mind
Hath turned my course of longing utterly;
/ longed for healing only Of the flesh
That I might serve my .state-asked not for
more; 4 tssf3s-r 5'-5
Yet how in his refusal he transcends
My widest prayer. ayS} 4 y :"
Torn from its setting, this loses some
Of it's force, but in It's place in the poem
it is crystal thru which IS beheld clearly
one of those truths which profits. the race
by being repeated, especially if the repe-
tftfon is in such form as to attract atten-
ton and lay hold upon the memory.

is said to be able to live only seven days

contrary to the accepted ideas on the sub
