As to immigration.


Railroad and steamship companies
alike agree that the tide of immigra-
ton is again rising, and the record OF
a million people added to our popula-
ton in 1904 by immigration is likely
to be surpassed in the next few years.
In the six years, 1900-1905. there have
come to our shores .4,2S1, 900 foreign
ers, while in the next preceding decade
the number was 3,959,000. Many pub
licists view these figures with alarm
and cry for increased restrictions.
1t is noticeable that those who have
had the greatest experience with i'm
migration are not for exclusion. Since
1920 this country has absorbed more
than 26,0OO,0OO immigrants. and de-
Quoting those who have returned to
their own countries 1t can be seen that
the remainder, with their descendants,
constitute a large part of what we are
always Boosting of-our great and
rapid increase of population-in fact,
an important proportion of our total
population of $500, 900 to-day There
seems to be a very general impress
sion in the public mind that these
earlier immigrants, whose descendants
to-day are among our most solid and
substantial business men, political
leaders and citizens, we're of some su-
perior class. The opinion has no war
rant in fact. Under the eaflier immi-
grafton laws, the bars were down, and
the immigrants came in to seek new
homes and develop the fertile lands
and rich mineral resources of the west.
Again, 1t is claimed that now the i'm
migrants do not go west or south to
help develop the country, but remain
in the cities. 1t is difficult t. prove
or disprove this assertion, but it can
be shown that the great growth of the
cities Is In a large measure due to
the crowding of the country people to
the city, as is indicated by the con.
dition of our New England farms.
But, as a matter of fact, while the i'm
migration Is very large, the proportion
of immigrants per capita is much less
than it was half a century ago. If
there Is a problem here 1t Is one of
distribution, not of exclusion. Leav-
Ing out of consideration such tes-
timony as might be given by pre-
sumably interested parties like the
steamship agents, it clearly has been
shown that the arriving immigrants
are not the scum" of Europe. The
immigrants who came last year de-
clared an average wealth of $25.7S per
head, or more than $40, 000,00 in the
aggregate, and as they must have had
from $S5 to sos each to pay fares to
lily of six must have saved up $500 be-
fore coming. Furthermore, the in
crease is not as large as assumed. be-
cause, while in the four ports of New
York, Boston, Philadelphia and Balti-
more last year there we're $4,000 ar
rivals, $4,000 people departed in the
steerage. Moreover, the laws IF Eu-
rope are framed to prevent people from
leaving the European countries-not tc
send them here, and the greatest i'm.
migration agent is the letter sent home
by the so-called foreigner" become q
good American citizen, who has made
q home and secured competence un-
der American institutions.

The clear color of Nevada comb honey
has often led to the suspicion that it is
adulterated or at least bleached. In Eng
land 1t has been asserted that pure honey
is always amber colored and that white
honey must necessarily be artificial. The
absurdity of such an idea is patent to
everyone who knows anything about the
subject, for it may positively be stated
that comb honey never is nor can be
adulterated.
