By ROBERTUS LOVE.

THE latest phase Of the immigra-
ton problem seems to be stir
ring up something of a hornets
nest. In some parts Of the
country the forces of organized labor
are up in arms against the work Of the
new division Of information in the de-
partment Of commerce and labor. This
division is a part Of the bureau Of i'm
migration. The man in charge Of it is
Terence V. Powderly, than whom no
Individual in labor circles is better
known throughout the world.
It seems somewhat anomalous that
organized labor should oppose a move
ment officially headed by the man who
for fourteen years was grand master
workman Of the Knights of Labor, the
biggest and most powerful organiza-
ton Of workingmen ever formed on
the globe. With more than a million
members the Knights of Labor force
for years welded a remarkable influ-
ence upon American commerce and in
dustry.
Why, then, is this thus?
Mr.. Powderly, as chief Of the divi-
sion Of information, is really the man
ager of Uncle Sans big new free en-
ployment bureau. He is, in fact, much
more than that, but he is that, and for
that reason certain labor leaders de-
cry the division Of information. Over
and beyond the fact that this new Sec
ton Of the bureau Of immigration is a
free employment bureau Of national
scope floats ever in view the still more
important fact that the primary object
Of the innovation in government serv-
ice IS to distribute the hordes Of imm1-
grants who come to the United States
to points where they will do the most
good for themselves and for the coun-
try which has accepted them and must
assimilate them.
Highly important Movement.
Boiled right down to it's bare bones,
the division Of information is an in
telligent effort upon the part of this

Gasping For Settlers.

And yet far from the madding crowd
In these big cities virgin areas are sim
ply gasping for settlers. In the south
ern states, beginning with Maryland
and Virginia and continuing through
the Carolinas, Georgia and Alabama,
there is a constant cry for more peo-
pie, more farmers, more laborers, more
mill hands. Labor skilled and unskill-
ed is wanted, and men are wanted to
settle on the un1mproved lands and
make them blossom productivity.
A similar condition obtains In the
southwestern states, though perhaps
not to like degree Of urgency. South
ern Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana
Texas, Oklahoma and Indian Territory
present splendid opportunities for set
tiers, particularly for those who come
from the southern countries Of Europe
and therefore will be acclimated the
moment they step off the train. It is
we'll known fact that some Of our
northwestern states-Miunesota and
Wisconsin, for instance-have been
settled largely by immigrants from the
Scandinavian countries, who fancy a
little cold weather now and then be-

eight years ago. He was bred to ton.
He was a graduate machinist when he
reached tWenty-one and the head of d
local labor union. Then when tie
knights Of Labor began to flourish
this young Pennsylvania workman
was elected time and time again to the
head Of that vast body. He was elect
ed three times mayor Of Scranton. Pa,
his home town. During McKinley's
administration he was the commits
sioner Of immigration. In that post
he had opportunity to study the immi-
grafton problem in all it's phases, and
it appears that the matter of proper
distribution appealed most strongly to
him. Mr.. Powderly is also lawyer
and has practiced before the supreme
court Of the United States. AS to ed
ucation-well, the present writer not
long ago heard him tell this little
story: "
"When I was commissioner of i'm.
migration an important looking per
son came into my Office and made a
remark to the effect that man in nv
position ought to have a university ed

and replied something like this:

"Whereupon," concluded Mr.. Pow.
derly, with that fine smile Of his that
won't wear off, my supercilious WIS.,

and as silently stole away"
Mr.. Powderly attended q country
school for a few months, but had to
quit when he was thirteen owing to
defective eyesight. He declares that
he never saw the stars and never be-
ueved in them except as a fairy tale
for children until he was eighteen
years old. Then he got strong pair
Of spectacles and felt like CHRISTOPHER

Of the brave, has heard of nothing
more In this country than New York
city and perhaps small fringe Of the
Atlantic coast running northward
therefrom. The rest Of the United
States to him Is without form and
void. Yet many thousands Of these
Immigrants are small farmers In Italy
and other countries, pitifully cramped
for land, who would be gloriously glad
to know that they can obtain at a
cheap price few acres of good farm
ing land in America.
The new division of information IA
thered by Secretary Straus and man
aged by MI. Powderly simply pro-
poses to inform the immigrant as to
his opportunities, to point out to him
that America is considerably larger
than the city Of New York and the en-.
virons of Buzzards Bay.
The work really began about a year
ago. Mr.. Powderly had been making
study Of the matter Of distributing
immigration. He quietly made trips
through the south and a voyage to
Europe in furtherance of his theories.
Then Secretary Straus appointed him
to his present position.

the part Of the earth that is coming to
them-if they find it out.
Thus we have in New York such
fourishing cutthroat societies as the
Black Hand, with it's branches in the
other cities. We have great slum dis
tricts almost exclusively settled by the
pauper outcasts Of Europe, who drop
even lower in the social scale here
than the pits into which they were
born at home. They produce large
and swarming hives Of children, who
grow up dirty, ignorant, depraved and
utterly unfit for American citizenship.
This is speaking, Of course, in a gener:
al way. Everybody knows that some
Of these city staying immigrants rise
above their surroundings and make
good citizens. But the tendency is the
other way.

Improvement in Cuba, Porto Rico, the
Philippines, etc. We may say truth
fully that in this instance our impulse
was not merely justice, but generosity.
II individual Americans have made
judicious investments and prospered,
the Government has helped them in
nothing but in enforcing law and or
der, which was primarily in the inter-
est of the natives. Cuba and Porto
Rico have learned to know the mean
ing of prosperity. There may be some
among the inhabitants unable ITO en-
JOY improved conditions, but onN the
whole the islanders are we'll satisfied,
as they ought to be. y
If, then, self-appointed negro gen.
erals arrive from adjacent islands to
upset conditions, they should be put
in the chain gang for life. That is
their proper sphere. We make fun
of the liberality with which military
titles are distributed; If such speci
mems as caught in Cuba claim the
rank of general, that title will gel
into disrepute.

TRAINS COLLIDE;
NO one INJURED:
TRAFFIC DELAYED

Late yesterday afternoon two
freight trains met in a head-on COLI
sion at Purvis and though there was
no one killed the wreck was serious
one for number of freight cars were
torn up and traffic was delayed some
hours.
The southbound passenger known
as No. g., due here at 5:20 ip. m. was
an hour and forty minutes late on
arrival here and on account of the
wreck at Purvis was still further de-
,layed and it was nearly o'clock be-
fore 1t got away from Hattiesburg.
This was because No. 8 had to use the
Gulf and Ship Island tracks to pass
the wreck going from here to Make,
thence to Lumberton and so on to the
New Orleans and Northeastern tracks
again, and as Gulf and Ship Island
train was late No. 8 was forced to
wait until it passed.
| The New Orleans train known as
No. 2, northbound was delayed some
thing like two hours and was com
PEELED to use the Gulf and Ship Island
track also, to pass Hattiesburg, or
account of the wreck.
Although the wreck caused all this
| delay there was no one killed in the
wreck, fortunately, and by today the
line will be clear and trains viii rur
as usual, the wrecking train ant
crew having gone to the scene of tht
wreck as soon as the wreck was re
ported.

The Bankers Convention

The declaration of independence
pronounced by Virginia banker
must have been an eye-opener as
we'll as warning to the New York
members. 1t is but few years since
New York banks were the repositories
of the banks East, South and West.
New York established rates, and what
New York decided was law. Closing
the purse strings brought the country
to its knees. That time is past, but
the New York bankers find it diff
cult to comprehend and conform with
the altered conditions.
After all, agriculture is the great
wealth producer. The West, with its
two great staples, wheat and corn;
the South, no small producer of the
last mentioned grain, and with its
great staple, King Cotton, have strug-
gled for and gained independence
from the manipulators of the trading
medium, money. The farmer is no
longer compelled to sell his products
for whatsoever price the Spectator
deems fit to offer; he is still subject
to the universal law of supply and
demand, but keeps informed of the
market and acts accordingly. If he
needs ready money, his home bank
is able to accommodate him.
With the national wealth scattered
away from the former center, several
glaring abuses will gradually disap'
pear; such, for instance, as the desire
to speculate with other peoples saw
ings. Prosperity, after all, is a great
factor in progress and improvement
Nor will the altered conditions hurt
the metropolis. Brainy men will turn
their attention into more legitimate
channels. There is always room on
top. But the fact which led to the
declaration of independence referred
to, are a cause for general rejoicing.

1t was feared at one time tn4t -

pie Of Sanford proved that such fears
were groundless and although the ne
gro is charged with series Of crimes
he was safely delivered at Collins.
But at any rate this negro had
been In the limelight for several days
and this is the story.
Thursday night last while Mrs.
Fridge was alone at her home at San
ford, the negro attempted to force an
entrance to the residence and she
fired upon him twice, but unfortu-
nately missed him and he got away.
During the night the residences of w.

sey were entered and robbed by some
one and the negro referred to is sup
posed to have been the party
Mr.. ]. E. Watts, Of this city was
notified and he went to Sanford with
his dogs and they followed the trail
until yesterday afternoon when the
negro was captured at Kola. From
this point he was taken to Sanford
for Identification and from that place
to Collins as stated above.
1t is believed that he is the same
party who entered the residence of w.
o. Conner short time since, chloro-
formed Mr.. Conner, robbed the house
and got away. Mr.. Conner was only
saved from death at the time by the
fortunate return of Mrss Conner who
had been away, for she found him un.
conscious and revived him, otherwise
he might have passed away.
Other and more serious crimes are
laid upon the negro and 1t was actu
ally feared last night that he would be
lynched before the arrival of the

Collins, but the unexpected happened
and he was safely landed in the Col
