IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
It Is One of Distribution and Not of
 Exclusion.


 Boston Transcript.
 Railroads and steamship companies alike agree that the tide of immigra- tion Is again rising, and the record of a million people added to our population 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 4.2S1.000 foreigners, while in the next preceding decade the number was 3,959,OOo. Many publicists view these figures with alarm and cry for increased restrictions,
 It is noticeable that those who have had the greatest experience with inn migration are not for expulsion. Since 1S2O this country has absorbed more than 26, GOO, 900 immigrants. and deduct ing those who have returned to their own countries 1t can be seen that the remainder with their descendants, con- stitute a large part of what we are always boasting of-our great and rapid increase of population-in fact, an important proportion of our total popu- 1ation of S3, 100000 today.
 There seems to be a very general impression In the public mind that these earlier immigrants, whose descendants today are among our most solid and substantial business men. political lead CTS and citizens, were of some superior class. The opinion has no warrant, in fact. Under the earlier immigration laws, the bars were down, and the inn migrants came in to seek new homes and develop the fertile lands and rich mineral resources of the West. Again | it is claimed that now the immigrants do not go West or South to help de- velop the country, but remain in the cities. It Is difficult to prove or dis prove this assertion, but 1t can be shown that the great growth of the cities is in a large measure due to the erowding of the country people to thi

Family Jokes
(From The Atkinson Globe.

(From The Atkinson Globe.)
In every family there are family
Jokes on some member of the family,
and often they are better than tue
professional ones you hear. Here il
a time-honored one in the family OF
Mrs. John j. Ingalls,
At the dinner table one day Mrs.
ingalls, dropped little gravy on the
front of her dress. Oae of her daugh-
tiers called her attention to it. Mrs.
Ingalls, said r.: "My, .dear | knew the
spot was there. You need not have
called the attention of other people at
the table to it. If the spot annoys
you, you may leave the table" And
the next time Mrs. Ingalls, dropped
something on her dress all her child
rem got up and marched away from
the table. Theevent has passed into
the family joke book.
Speaking of family Jokes there is
one told by the children of a good
woman at Topeka which has never
ceased to mortify her, though many
years have passed since it happened.
The family were entertaining at Law
renee a distinguished Presby terian
minister. The husband was one who
had to be reminded when a plate was
empty and needed another serving.
His wife, when company was present,
practiced a telegraphlc code in at
tracing his attention. 1t consisted
simply, but effectively, OF kicking his
shins under table. On the occasion
of the preachers visit she repeatedly
kicked her husbands shins to make
him pass the chicken. He continued
his conversation, oblivious to her re.
minders. She kicked more energetic.
ally, but still he went composedly
along without paying the slightest
attention. By and by the preacher
a man of age, humor and discretion
turned to his hostess and said: "My
dear Mrs. -, if you will tell me what
you are kicking my shins for l will try
to do It,"

From Success.

(From Success.)
Not until February of 1915 did the
people of Kentucky know that Madi-
son was elected President in the pre-
vious November.
In 1884 one of the leading railroads
of the United States printed on it's
timetable: The locomotive will
leave the depot every day at 10
O'Clock, if the weather is fair"
The first typewriter was received
by the public with suspicion. 1t
seemed subversive of existing cOndi-
tions. A reporter who took one into
court room first proved its real
worth.
In England. some centuries ago, ii
an ordinary workman, without per-
mission, moved from one parish to
another in search of work or better
wages, he was branded with a hot
iron.

vised him against it, because there
was a paper published in Boston.
Some them doubted that the country
would be able to support two news
papers.
One hundred years ago the fastest
land travel In the world was on the
Great North Road in England, after
it had been put in its best condition.
There the York mail coach tore along
at the rate of ninety miles a day, and
many persons predicted divine ven
geance on such unseemly haste.
When Thomas Jefferson was elect
ed President of the United States
February II, 1901, after one of the
most exciting political campaigns in
our history, the gratifying news did
not reach the successtul candidate for
as many days as it now takes hours
to transmit the result of Presiden
tial election to the whole civilized
world.
When, in 1909, Richard Trevithick
uttered the following words, there
were many who consi dered him an in
sane, dangerous person: "Tne pres
emit generation will use canals, the
next will prefer railroads with horses
but their more enlightened successors
will employ steam carriages on rail
ways as the Perfection OF the art u
conveyance"
