SARGENT ON IMMIGRATION
Thinks Permanency of Line Depends
on the South.-Better Wages
Must Be Paid.
The State.

The State.
Charleston, Nov. 4.-Frank P.
Sargent, commissioner general Of i'm
migration, the highest official in this
department Of the federal govern
ment, who has devoted much time and
thought to every phase Of foreign i'm
migration, who knows it from q to z,
from Belgium or Croatia, from Scot
land or Montenegro, all the way to
Ellis Island and into the United
States, is much interested in the new
movement in the South and speaks
quite favorably of it.
Mr.. Sargent with an efficient CORDS
or interpreters, inspectors, stenor-
&raphers and customs deputies, has
been in Charleston since Friday and
has been engaged in various prepara-
'ons for the handling Of the Wittc-
k'nd'S passengers. Besides this, the
commissioner and his assistants arc
ihr rrriNlrnts Of many courtcsicS ut
lie hands Of the Charlcstonians, and

t"rr joining the reception committee
for y trip around the harbor, that ho
WAS cnrnrrctl for Il chat on immiura-
tlru matters.
Success Depends on South.
"lt depends entirely upon the in
trrcsl the Southern people take in
thi.> n.ltc., and the preparations
they make for the new comcrs,' said
h. when asked his view Of the posi-
hi!itics of the movement "It should

: '.u'%' l.'>rrl.iivrS AMI they

to be. they will induce others to fol-

Mr. Sargent cited instances of the
North and West as proof Of his state
mrnt. The greatest induccmcnt to
in those sections is tho
number of pleased settlers who are
found thcrc--thc best advertisement
the letters they write to the relatives
abroad telling Of the satisfaction they
have found in their new homes.
"But it wholly depends,' he re-
pcated, "upon the way these people
are treated after they get here, as to
the srcrrss Of movement. The South !
is starting upon Il new era Of prosper

attempts are made to tinker with the
judiciary, and all such attempts are
on the line of increased costs to the
people, when, as has been shown, the
expense of our judiciary is already

If the people are willing to incur

agreed to use eyerv graduate we can
turn out, at minimum salary of $50
per month, with 20c per hour for all
over time. Their yice-president and
general manager informs us there is
not a station on their line today paying
less than $50 per month, including ov-
err time, while some pay as high as
$3.50 per month.
This company has gone to the ex-
pense of extending their train order
wire through our building, giving our
advanced students the opportunity of
receiving every train order that pass
es over the Cotton Belt line. They
also furnish us with all their telegraph
and station blanks to be used while
our students are learning.
AS we are the only telegraphic
school in America enjoying such
great privilege, many will wonder how
we obtained it. The answer is, our
work has been so thorough and salts

WEEKLY breaches A POW
ERFUL SERMON.

ERFUL SERMON.
Golfers Weekly in speaking of the
Influence of Christian votes says:
whenever a Christian votes, he
votes against God or for him, and he
knows this quite we'll. God is an is
sue in every election; he Is a candi-
date in the person of every clean nom
inee on every ticket; his purity and
his approval are there, to be voted
for, or voted against, and no tealty to
party can absOlve his servant from
his higher and OreeXacting fealty to
him, he takes precedence of party, du-
ty TO him is abOYe every claim of par
ty. If Christians would vote their
dnty to God at the polls, they would
carry every election, and do it With
ease. They would elect every clean
candidate in the country, and defeat
every soiled one. Their prodigious
power would be quickly realized and
recognized, and afterward there would
be no unclean candidates upon any
ticket, and graft would cease. And
if there are more than two "clean,
capable candidates for the office, then
vote for that one for whom the saloon
and liquor men are most anxious to
have you not vote"
Many Ministers are brave and true
as steel. Some however are chicken
hearted afraid of their own shadow.
1t might be well for some of these over
conservative men who are afraid they
will soil the sanctity of their Office by
touching affairs of public interest to
open their eyes to such secular Sug-
gestions and learn moral courage and
spiritual efficiency.

A Costly Judiciary.

able the annual appropriation for
the Judiciary Department made by the
legislatures of the States of Tennessee,
Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana
were as follows:
IeNleSSee. ..'.............. HlfS, iOO
Alabama. ................. III, l06
Mississippi. ................ 1l0,4S5
Louisiana. ................. POI 300
Notwithstanding the fact that the
expenses of the judiciary in Louisiana
are nearly double the expenses in
either Alabama or Mississippi, and
one-third more than Tennessee, the
Louisiana legislature has submitted
amendments to the Constitution which,
if adopted, at the election in Novem-
Der will increase the cost to $241, 300
per annum.
The amendment relative to Circuit
Courts is practically the same that
has been twice rejected by the people.
District judges accept Office with full
knowledge that they are required by
law to hold these courts of appeal, so
there is no necessity for an additional
expense of S24. 100000 per annum to
pay six judges of these appellate
courts. when in many parishes there
is very little business for said courts.
There are three circuit judges in
New orleans who receive salaries of
81, 10000 each. 1t is presumed when
they were elected they wanted the Of
fec at the salary mentioned. but the
legislature has proposed amendment
to the constitution to increase these
salaries to 100000. If they can't
serve at the salary fixed in the Con-
stitution there is nothing to prevent
them resigning. Others equally as
competent will gladly accept the Office.
Another proposition is to make SAL
aries of all district Judges $4,000, 600
per annum. The Constitutional con-
vention of 1898 fixed salaries accord
ing to the territory embraced in the
district and work to be done: for in
stance, the parish of AvOyelles con-
stitutes judicial district salary of
judge $2,500.00, while Rapides and
Grant parishes compose one district.
salary of judge 100000. There is
and can be no reason why salaries of
judges in these two districts should be
the same, and this applies to many
other districts. If this amendment is
adopted, together with one providing
for an additional Judge for the parish
of Caddo, it will mean an additional
cost of $l2, 10000 per annum, which
together with other items mentioned,
makes an increased expense of S39, $780,
90 per annum.
If the people who have to foot the
bills are willing to stand this addition.
al expense they can do so by voting
for the various amendments relative
to the judiciary. If they don't wish
to pay out this additional sum of
money, they should vote against the
amendments and let expenses of the
judiciary remain as they are. Louis
lana is already paying more for her
judiciary than any other state of q
like population.
While some of the amendments sub.
mitted for the next election are entitled
to a favorable vote, the entire list
should be carefully examined before
voting for any of them.
