: Lab0rers Versus Loafers.

The subject of immigration
into the South is to be discussed
in the Quarantine Convention
which opened yesterday in
Chattanooga. Il is an impor-
tant matter.
The South needs large addi-
tons to its labor supply. The
people of the Southern States
are realizing a fact which OBJ
tains in every country in the
world, that with the increase of
population there is a constantly
increasing number of the popu-
latiOn that refuses to work, and
seeks to live on the labor or the
property of others.
Many of these are criminals
who make a business of preying
on society by violent and dis
honest means. There have al
ways been such and there will
always be hOrdes OF robbers,
swindlers and other thieves of
every sort and degree. They
are kept down in some countries
by a heavy hand, but in this land
OF liberty they have an easier
time than in any other, and they
prove this by the manner in
which they flock thither from
every other land and the success
with which they escape serious
punishment. The petty thieves
are commonly the ones that are
caught. The big operators go
free for a long time before, if
ever. they are rounded up and
made to pay a penalty.
But the professional thieves
are not the only class, or even
the largest, whose members live
without performing any useful
labor or service. We have in our
great Republic the professional
loafers, who as a general rule
are hOodlums or rufians. who
live upon their friends and
families. They are. for the most
part, men who start out to live
upon the labor of mother and
sisters or an old father, and
finally they become criminals,
maintaining themselves by
various dishonest and disgrace
ful means. They are educated
in the public schools. but. having
made up their minds never to
perform any useful part in life,
they exist as they can by dis
honorable means.
It is doubtful if the hoodlum
exists in any other country than
this, for nowhere else would he
be tolerated by the authorities,
or except where they are
wealthy, could he be supported
in idleness by his hard working
relatives. The hoodlum is en-
tirely distinct from the tramp,
who is q wandering vagabond.
The h0odlum is an inhabitant of
cities, for only there does he
find the means of living in ab.
solute idleness. This distinct
American product is probably
growth of our free in
stitutions. He adopts the maxim
that he ia under the law as good
as any other free-born citizen,
without considering that the
quality Of goodness in citizen
ship is not created by law, but
is made by character and achiev-
Under our American
system q man is not good except
in 90 far as he demonstrates his
and that is done by
his honesty. his industry, his
The Lafayette advertiser. [volume] (Vermilionville [i.e. Lafayette], La.) 1865-19??, 1905-11-15

this country it viii be found that
not less than a million of men
enjoying all the benefits of
American liberty never perform
an act of useful service, but live
by preying upon the labor and
property of the balance of the
population.
The number is constantly in
creasing, and the day will come
when society will have to arm
itself and take special measures
for protection from these human
parasites and predatory
creatures that will seek to de-
vJur the substance of the in
dustriOus and thrifty members
of the population.
For the reasons set forth
above, it becomes a pressing
duty to see to it that while we in
the South are inviting labor from
other States of the Union and
from foreign countries we do not
increase the hordes of our Grim
inals and our pestilential lOafers.

GOPHER CLAIMS
A LARGE ESTATE
JAY CROSSE BUSH OF KENT FILES

Legless Minnesotan Says He Was the

Charles Colbert, Whose $4,000
Estate Has Been Adjudged to Re-
vert to Montana.
Special to The Journal.

special to The Journal.
:, Butte, Mont, May 13.-After the
Charles Colbert estate had been tossed
about in the courts of Montana for
cheat to the state, a claimant has ap-
peared and asks that the old prospec-
tors wealth, variously estimated at
about $4,000, be decreed to belong to
him as next Of kin.
The claimant is Jay Crosse Bush,
aged H., who halls from Kent, Wilkin
county, Mimi, and has filed petition
IN the district court alleging that he
was a cousin Of the late Charles Col
bert and sole surviving heir. He asks
Tor a hearing to ascertain and deter
mine the rights Of all persons to the
estate. Judge Dolan has set July Is
as the time FOR hearing the petition.
Charles Colbert died in Butte about
SIX wears ago, leaving, as it was
thought, no relative to claim his large
estate, consisting of moneys and min
ing properties which he had accumu-
west; Two alleged wills were fled led in in
court for probate. One Of them was
rejected as being invalid and the other
was declared to be forgery.
For some time the estate was claimed
Dy two persons, each of whom present
ed wills in their favor, and by the state
OF Montana on the ground that Col
pert died interstate and left no surviv-
Ing heirs. in which case his property
would escheat to the state.
BY recent decision Of the supreme
court, the property, was left in charge
OF the state until the expiration of FIVE
years, when, if no claimants appeared,
1t was to escheat to the commonwealth
Bush tells Of roaming thruout the
northwest with Colbert, and saws he
was known as "Blue Jay'' on account
OF the blue suit he wore. In 1865 Bush
froze both his feet while hunting deer
necessitating \amputation.

Winnipeg, Man.. May 11.-Your correspondent
today had an interesting interview with A A.
Downey, prosperous farmer who owes great
deal Of his present success to William Pearson,
Of Winnipeg, the land man who has. been at
tracing SO much attention in the United States
by his big operations in the Last Mountain val
ley country, where thousands of American
settlers are buying farms. ~
Mr.. Downey was for many years located in
one of the most favored districts of Manitoba
Finally he homesteaded and also bought land
in the Last Mountain valley. He took his
family up with him and built his house In the
fall Of 1908. ~
Mr.. Downey's interview is significant, 1t
demonstrates the satisfaction felt generally by
settlers thruout the Last Mountain valley coun-
try with the land to which they have come.
He says: ....- ~.
