and a number of the Catholic Bishops
have written to the president protest
ing against that feature OF the bill,
but the understanding is that tie
president has Responded that the bill
as it stands meets with his hearty ap-
proyal. In fact, it is in exact accord
ance with the recommendation cou-
tanned in his last annual message
The bill has passed the Senate, and
is now pending in the House. us
friends are unable to get it before
the House, however. because re
Speaker is against it, The story is
that he has very large number OF
foreigners in his district who regard
it unfavorably, and he thinks that as
bis district is likely to be a close one
in the coming congressional contest
IT is the wiser plan for Inn to stand
with the foreign element than with
organized labor.
This is the second time recently
that the president and the Speaker
have been opposed to each other. They
were opposed on the meat inspection
bill, and their contest resulted IN a
compromise. 1t will be interesting to
see what the outcome of tbeir con-
test over the immigration bill will be.
The bill has many friends in the
House. Indeed, it is the understand
ing that a majority Of the members
are in favor of it. If it could be got
before the House it would in all prob
ability pass with comparatively little
opposition. The indications are how
ever, that the Speaker will be able tc
keep it in committee until the next
session of congress. 1t is expected
that congress will adjourn within a
week or ten days, and the Speaker
will see to it that the House is fully
occupied during that time-sO fully
occupied that there will be no open
ing through which the bill can be
got before the House. In matters
pending in the House the Speaker is
a bigger man than the president.

Harvest Hands Needed
In Bleedin' Kansas.

Thousands of harvest hands are
needed in Kansas, in fact throughout
the entire wheat and corn belt, where
high wages are offered for men will
ing to work in the fields. Expert
ence is not a prerequisite to securing
employment and previous or present
condition does not operate as a bar
70 one seeking work and willing to dc
an honest days work for good pay.
But, strange as it may seen. laborers
are not forthcoming.
In previous years when hundreds
Of unemployed walked the streets OF
every large city there was still a
dearth Of help in Kansas. notwith-
standing the fact that the farmers.
seeing their crops in danger, even
went so far as to Offer free transpor-
tation 10 men willing to work. True,
hundreds were secured in this way,
but It seemed and still seems. for that
matter, that the 0enizens Of trade
eenters either had a dissemination for
work OF the character offered or
we're not willing to leave the cities.
no matter how alluring the offers of
rural communities.
This year the scarcity Of labor can
not be charged to either OF the
causes enumerated, but rather to the
fact that the wave Of prosperity
which has been sweeping over the
country has benefited the lsboringI
classes as well as the Opulent, and
work is TO be had in the cities by all
who desire il. There is no excuse
for idleness to-day, and every man
who is at work, preferring steady
employment at fair wages to temper
airy labor at high wages, is not at
tracted by the offers Of Kansas
farmers.
Bleedin' Kansas viii, in all prObabil |
ity, have to wobble along this year
without the usual quota Of laborers
from the cities, and whatever loss
may be sustained in consequence
must be charged against the general
prosperity Of the country.

NEW MOUNTAIN RAILWAY.
1t Will Reach Nearly Fourteen Thou
sand Feet Above the Sea.

1t Will Reach Nearly Fourteen Thou
sand Feet Above the Sea.
Switzerland is the home Of mountain
railways. With an area not larger than
one-third of the state Of New York,
there may be counted about hundred
railways for the sole purpose Of carry
ing passengers to mountain tops vary
ing in height from a few thousand to
5000 or 5000 feet. The month Of Au-
gust, 1905, witnessed the opening of a
way carrying tourists even far above
these attitudes, beyond the clouds, to
10000 feet, and, when completed, its
highest point will reach nearly $4,000
feet above the sea-at the top of the
famous Jungfrau, the queen of the Ber-
ner Overland.
There are other mountain railways
on the globe attaining much higher al
titudes than even this, and on the
OvOyo railroad of Peru 1 myself trav-
eled a considerable distance above 16,-
600 feet, but most Of these roads were
built for the development Of commerce
and mining industries. The Swiss
mountain railways, however, are al
most exclusively in the service Of tour
lists only, numbering in Switzerland
alone not far from 100000 every year.
They come to admire the scenic won
ders Of the little country on the roof
Of Europe or to seek shelter against
summer heat at the many mountain
resorts. zyC
The majority Of these mountain rail-
ways are paying investments. Swift
zerland, being a country of mountains,
Is consequently also q country of wa
ter courses, fed by the inexhaustible
store of snow and fee, covering many
square miles Of the Alpine chains.
Alaskan ice fields are bedded in be-
tween the peaks right in the heart Of
Switzerland, and, although a great deal
has been written about the general re-
cessiOn Of glaciers, which in some in
stances amounts to a hundred and
more feet year for year, such losses are
quite Insignificant compared with the
enormous extent Of these ice deposits.
A number OF them have depths Of sew
eral thousand feet, with millions of
tons Of solid, hard frozen ice, continu-
ally supplied from fresh snowfalls
above. They feed Rhine and Rhone,
20 and Danube, during the dry sum-
mer months and the many mountain
streams OF Switzerland, forming beau
tiful cascades and falls and rapids;
furnish the power which carries tourists
in comfortable railway carriages to the
very tops from which they themselves
come. They are led to turbine pits,
drive wheels and generators and are
thus converted into electric power. The
Swiss, having no coal deposits of their
own, have become acknowledged ex-
perts in this branch of technical engi-
neering, furnishing turbines and cleo
trio plants for the whole world. Thus,
for instance, the gigantic turbines at
Niagara falls, many Of which generate
forces Of from ten to twelve thousand
horsepower each, have been construct
ed almost without exception by Swiss
frms.-Century.

The Packers Should
PAY for Inspection.

There is no good reason why the
government Of the United States
should be called upon to pay $4,000. 900
per annum for the inspection Of beef
and beef products and there are a
number Of very good reasons why the
packing house companies should foot
the bill
BY reason of the filthy conditions
which were shown up in the report of
the commissioners appointed 70 in
vestigate the packing industry it is
estimated that the packers have al
ready lost at least $4,000, 600, and it
is apparent, from the action taken
since the report was made public by
many countries, states and municipal
ties, that the loss already occasioned
BY reason Of the disclosures will be a
more bagatelle beside the immense
losses that will be sustained by the
packing firms unless government in

Some Oklahoma peoplesin Washing

about an outrage or two perpetrated
on that territory by the statehood bill.
One Of them was making quite fuss
about it, claiming things would be all
wrong when the territory becomes a

that the falls were slowly wearing
back toward Buffalo and that in the
course Of some 100000 years they
would have worn back to Erie, Pa,

UNIFORM DIvORCE.LAw

In an article in the July number Of
the North Americans Review, entitled,
American Divorce Law" Wilbur Lar
remore deprecates the continuance in
the United States Of a system Of d.
verse state laws which entails. varying
personal status and legitimacy of chill

ty rights of dover and of inheritance,
on different sides of domestic geo
graphical lines. He advocates uni
form law thruout the nation, and points
out that there are two rival methods
by which that end might be accom-
pMshed-first, cooperative state legis-
lation and, second, the adoption of an
amendment of the constitution author
izing congress to pass general law.
There are numerous obstacles in the
way of the first method, which Mr..
Larremore enumerates: and, on, the
whole, he expresses preference for
the second. The regulation of marriage

purists would, Of course, oppose the
transference Of that function to the

tional amendment plan might be the.
more promising Of the two for the rea-
son that the opposition of one-fourth
of the states would be futile. Mr.. Lar.
remore says:
All that would be required for federal
legislation would be the adoption by
three fourths of the state legislatures
of an amendment comforting power on
congress to act. Any number of states

to acquiesee, would nevertheless be
bound by the action of the others.
Moreover. as the amendment itself
would be in general terms, no conflict
would be aroused as to particular
phases Of the divorce policy, but the
issue would be merely on the abstract
question whittier the subject should be
transferred from state to federal juris-
diction. Congressional legislation,
