Italians at New Orleans.

It should not be forgotten that the
average immigrant has no money with
which to buy a railroad ticket. He is
compelled by his impecuniosity to pro-
cure work at once at the port at which
he arrives. He is oftentimes met at
Ellis Island by interests that offer 70
pay his fare to distant points, and he
is thus diverted in some instances to
other states. But fully half of the
average load of immigrants stays at
or near the port of arrival.
This is why an effort is being made
to change the immigration laws so
that Italian immigrants at least will
be landed at New Orleans, thus plac-
ing them in a section where they are
greatly needed and will be warmly
welcomed. The United States has the
power to say where any particular lot
of immigrants may be landed. They
should be landed where they can best
better their own condition and pro-
mote the progress of the country. II
the Italian immigrants can be induced
to become cotton farmers 1t is certain
that the country will never place other
restrictions upon Italian immigration.
Italians are not desirable in the con-
gested eastern cities, but they are de-
sirable in the cotton fields of the
south.
1t is all-important that the Italians
be landed in New Orleans instead of
New York. They can never be in
duced to settle in the south as farm
ers if they are landed in New York. 1t
is simply a question of whether they
shall be dumped where they are not
wanted, or whether they shall be car
ried to a part of the country that Is
hungry for white farmers.

Publicity Needed in Corporations.

The sharp break in the prices of
stock in the New York stock exchange
followed naturally perhaps the pro-
longed rise in values-a rise carried
in many instances far beyond actual
worth or earning power Trade con-
ditions remain favorable; the people
are prosperous; the gross earnings of
the railroads are unprecedented, and
yet prices of securities yielded read
lily and lower figures for even
gilt-edged shares fell from five to
twenty points. The market has be-
come steadier, and the worst features
of the sharp reaction have perhaps
teen met and stayed.
No doubt the Shipbuilding scandal
followed by the Equitable contentious
have caused investors to hesitate. All
have begun to think that the directors
in corporations are figureheads, or
something worse. Confidence in cor
porate control and management has
been rudely shaken, and time for re-
covery from this distressing condition
of the public mind must intervene be-
fore another big rise in prices can be
brought about
Prosperous trade conditions will.
however, restrain the bears, and IL
large crops are harvested or can be
foreseen, confidence will be restored,
especially If new men be placed where
the discreditable ones have fallen.
The general condition of the coun.
try was never sounder or better Mills
are pressed by orders; railroad con-
struction and trolley construction will
reach high figures this year, and even
our shipyards are busy. Our great
population Is full of energy, hope and
work. 1t is difficult to keep prices be-
low values under such conditions. Not
even Milwaukee and the Equitable can
do that while prosperity is SO wide
spread.
What We need is better corporate
management, and this could readily be
secured If the administration would
favor publicity in all matters pertain
ing to corporations. AT present it
gathers information from the corpor-
atoms only to hide it from the public
eye. All reports made to Commits
sioner Garfield are kept from the peo-
pie, although publicity is the one rem
edy against such scandals as those of
Milwaukee and the Equitable Life.

on the part of mill managers and
treasurers, are what President Walms-
ley depends upon in fighting in the
future southern mills. In this way he
thinks labor troubles can be weeded
out, and the supremacy of New Eng
land in the making of fine fabrics will
then stand unchallenged.
It will be noticed that President
Walmsley practically yields to the
south the making of coarse goods. Be
tween the spinning of yarns and the
production Of coarse cottons the south
can keep its mills busy, and the south
will rejoice in the success of the New
England mills in the making of fine
fabrics.

COMMENTS ON MEN AND
MATTERS OF THE WORLD

is so weak, so eloquent of utter helpless
ness and so void of purpose as the fatal
gift OF beauty" The mai who has this
precious inheritance and ends his career
as a self-destroyer, an embezzler or a
moral wreck cries in a tragic attitude that
he is the victim of fate which, forsooth
made him so good looking that he almost
had to be wicked while the woman who
goes wrong hastens to make a similar
plea. On account of their pulchritude
they were picked out by the devil for
especial temptations which they have not
been able to resist Had they been home-
ly they would have escape much of the
sorrow that has darkened their lives,
Thus they argue, Will, the world listens
with attention but no sympathy. 1t is
not the fatal gift of beauty that proves
SO disastrous to its possessor but the
fatal weakness of character with which
1t is often associated. If the mask we're
removed from the handsome roue and an
ugly face substituted the chances are that
he would reach the same destination. al
though he might take a different route
The fatal gift Of beauty is a pitiful but
not convincing excuse.
