ENCOURAGING immigration.

One Of the first duties Of Secretary
Straus. the now head of the deparr-
mont Of commerce. and labor. was the
ql, stion whether a state could do
things in the matter of securing inn
migrants which the federal laws
forbid individuals and corporations to
do. Secretary Straus has decided
that states may induce immigration
by advertisements abroad and by
making definite arrangements as to
employment with those who come to
them from abroad. His decision was
made upon the following case: On
Nov. the steamer Wittekind arrived.
in Charleston, s. c.. with 40 immi-
grants, mostly Germans and Belgians
with their wives and children. whose
destination was to various parts of
the state. All these people were in
duced to come here by the states
commissioner, Watson, who visited
Eun6pe last August for the purpose.
in acting in accordance with recent
law of South Carolina he paid the
passage Of these immigrants. partly
with funds of the state and partly
with money contributed by private
persons who needed labor. Commits
sinner Watson also provided employ
nent for them i'm parts of the state
whore their labor was most needed.
In this connection the Philadelphia
Record has called attention to the fact
that interference by the government |
with reference to checking immigration |
is one of the things of which the |
Declaration of Independence accused |
George Ill: "He has endeavOred to pre- |
vent the population of these states; for |
that purpose Obstructing the laws for
naturalization of foreigners; refusing
to pass others fer their migration
hither."

The Origin of Twenty three"

Those two emincntly respectable and
conservative newspapers. the New York
Post and the Chicago Post, are engaged
il an interesting but rather futile
of the well known expression twenty
three" which has become so well es-
taDii*hcd in the slang of the year. AS
the slang of today is the recognized
and legitimate language of tomorrow
such an cndeavor is praiseworthy
Everybody comedies that the express
sion has come to stay, but where did it
come from? The New York Post is
prolific in solutions of the problem
which is the most veXatious since the
age of Ann was definitely decided. 1t
gives no less than six explanations
and lets its readers take their choice:
!. Race tracks are so laid out as to
accommodate not more than twenty
two horses at Il time. The twenty
third horse entered, therefore, must be
put out of the race.
2. The pSychopathic ward at Belle
vue hospital is ward No. %. and. in the
vcrnacular of tie ambulance surgeon
'''rwenty-three for his" is equivalent
to Hes crazy"
;. In numbering the rooms of a GER
tain new hotel, the numeral ''23' was
inadvertently omitted. The clerks
therefore used "Show the gentleman to
room 23' as a signal to the "bouncer''
when an undesirable applicant came
fer room
4. The expression originated from
the twenty-third verse of the third
chapter of Genesis: therefore. the
Lord sent him forth from the garden OF
Eden, to till the ground from whence
he was taken
5. The expression originated from 4
passage in "A Tale of Two Cities.
where the guillotine number given the
hero is ''twenty-three.'
6. "Twcnty- three" is used by teleg-
raphers to signify keep off the wire.
as they use "Thirty'' for saying
"GOad night
The Chicago Post loyalty believes
that the expression originated in that
city, contending that some good can
come out of Packington after all. 1t
argues that Tod Sloan was the real au-
thor. Local authorities all agree that
Tod Sloan. the well known jockey, at
ore time had room No % in the apart
ment building that used to stand on
the site of the present Railway Ex-
change building. Late at night his
wcish:y duties DER, Mr.. Sloan would
murmur. Tod. twenty three is the
place for you 1t always was. The
evident appropriateness of the phrase
made an instantaneous hit among the
quiet-mouthed sporting fraternity and
it was used in Chicago racing circles
for years before George NJ. Cohan Put
his little New York trademark on it,
