Immigration TO the South

In the arrival at Charleston Of a shin
load OF immigrants from Bremen may be
seen the beginning of a movement des-
tined, it is hoped. to play an important
economic and sociologic role in the deveI-
opment Of the new South. For a long time
the people Of that region have cast long
ing eyes upon the great stream OF inmi-
grants that yearly flows through the
North to che West, and contributes so
largely to the rapid upbUilding of the
Western CommonweaIths. The labor
needs CT the South have been growing
with its increasing industrial enterprise.
but the tide of immigration has hitherto
set Sc strongly Westward that its diver
sion S0uthWard has been matter Of
difficulty.
In the far South many Italians have
settled, supplying an excellent class of
farmers and farm laborers. and curiously
enough, another race problem. for in Mis-
sissippi one of the topics CT political
discussion is whether the Italians chill
dren shall be admitted to the white
schools, and whether he is likely to be-
come a desirable citizen. These questions
are considered as settled in the neigh
boring State of Louisiana. so that they
are not likely 10 perplex the people Of
mississippi fer long. Il is true that some
or the immigrants from Italy have been
rated as undesirable. but It is also true
that they show the same capacity for
growing Up with the country that has
Teen displayed by ether immigrants. and
in generation or two doubtless they
viii be as good Americans as the rest
OF the foreigners who have made this
favored land their permanent abiding
place.

More Investigation Needed.

Notwithstanding the provision of the
insurance law of New York fOrbidding
advances to agents, the two big insur-
ance companies. now fighting to preserve
the old regime Of bad management. have
been accused Of making such advances
for the purpose of giving agents the
sinews Of war in their campaign against
the policy holders organization. The
managers of these companies contend
that the law is not effective until next
January. but they are alone in this con-
tentiOn, for the other companies take the
view that it is now in force and are com
plying with it. Anyway. the practice is a
bad one, and il ought to have been drop
ped without any quibbling over the pre-
else intent OF the law That insurance
managers should raise any question about
abandoning such a pernicious practice
IS pretty good evidence that they deserve
to be ousted to make way for men less
willing 10 expend other peoples money
for personal ends.
But the unwarranted action Of Presi-
dent Peabody of the Mutual Life and
others in suborning agents is not likely
insurance departments. The attention Of
District Attorney Jerome has been direct
ed to it. and the insurance departments Of
Kentucky and Tennessee have demanded
that the Insurance managers explain
their failure TO comply with the law. on
pain of exclusion from the privilege Of
doing business in those States In addi-
tion, at the request of the Mutual Policy
Holders Association, several States fnsur-
ance commissioners. it is stated, will
soon meet in New York to make a
thorough investigation into the charges

home of the immigrant. No trouble is
had. of course. in getting people to emf
CRATE, but the really useful service rem
dered by a State bureau of immigration
is in diverting immigration 10 localities
where the newcomers may find employ
ment and a habitation This is a matter
in which the Federal government may
very properly take an active interest, and
we are glad to observe that the Commis-
sioner of immigration has promised his
hearty cooperation with the efforts Of
South Carolina to bring over class Of
immigrants suited 10 her needs. The con-
gestion Of newly arrived foreigners in our
great cities has aroused much concern,
and the diversion of these people 10 more
healthful and less populous communities
is work Of national consequence. There
is ample room in the South for many
thousands of newcomers, and we trust
that the efforts Of South Carolina and
other Southern States TO change the
course Of immigration SouthwaTd may
be crowned with success.

some Liars We Have known.

We have heard something about an
Ananias cup in New York in connection
with the campaign just closed. Maybe it
is an Ananias belt. It is difficult to keep
up with things in New York Such a
cup. or belt naturally suggests competi-
ton on the part of campaigners who will
fully disregard the truth.
But how is it possible to award such a
cup. or belt?
We have been in quest of a thought

identify, or lead to a plan that would
insure an award in any sense equitable

There are so many liars in New York;
so many kinds of liars; such inveterate

conservative. with magazine thrown I'M.
at the stock exchange, on the curb In
the hotel lobby, and at the bar.
People who do not lie have actually
been in eclipse-hopeless eclipse-the
whole campaign.
How can that cup. or belt. be fairly
awarded with all these Ananiases enter

have lied about the issues. whatever they
are; lied about the tide or drift, what

Rnnid Industrial procress.

Our industrial progress is measured IN
figures so vast as 10 require a stretch
of the imagination TO grasp their mean
irg. IN a recent bulletin Of the Census
Bureau we are told that in 1895 the total
value Of the product Of American fac
tories reached the enormous sum of
SIS sec. 706,9S5. This total showed an in
crease in FIVE years almost as great as
the increase during the ten-year census
period lS9O-1900 In five years we had
added 755. .298 wage-earners to our pay
rolls. increased the amount Of wages
paid by S60l, ,733, and the amount Of
output by s., 391. .095, ,965. These figures ex-
plain why we are able TO absorb mill
lions of immigrants. and account in large
part for the steady increase in demand
for agricultural products. which has
kept their prices at remunerative level
in spite Of abundant crops
OF special significance are the figures
showing the concentration of manufac-
lures in large establishments. which has
become one Of the conspicuous develop
ments OF our economic life. Although in
dividuals own 52.7 per cent Of the manu-
featuring establishments in the country.
and firms 22-2 per cent more, fncorpo-
rated companies, owning but 23.6 per cent
Of the establishments, employ 706 per
cent Of the number Of wage-earners, pay
p per cent Of the wages, and produce
T3.7 per cent of the total value of all
goods manufactured. More than 81 per
cent Of the capital employed in manu-
featuring industry is invested in estab-
lishments having a capital Of sl,O00.C00 or

hshments having capitals in excess of
$100,O00- These last produce over % per

through the armory to his carriage, walt

said he remembered that he had an en-

dash for his carriage was inexpedient.
Again came the demand: Are you in
favor Of woman sufrage?" This time
with more emphasis.
Madame" said the Secretary in de-
spair, "ali the encOura cement I can give
you is that when I graduated from high
school / selected the question Of woman
suffrage for my graduating OratiOn."
Then you are certainly in favor Of
giving women their just rights now?'

tug at the Secretary's coat lapel.
