PROSPERITY OF THE SOUTH.
Need of linn igration-Inadequate Ship
ping Facilities.

Need of hmm observation-disclosures Ship
ping Facilities.
In everything that makes possible
the prosperity of community the
South is enormously rich. In food
products, in cotton, in metals, in
fuel, in minerals. in water power
convertible into electricity, the ex-
tent and variety Of its possessions
are 80 great that it is moderate es-
mate that it could easily support a
population as large as that of the
entire country at the present time.
To realize that splendid but entirely
rational expectation its prime need
Is population adequate in volume
and In energy to the opportunities
existing. And the first step toward
satisfying that need is immigration.
Immigration from the North will
be certain element in the increase,
but not large one for some time,
because there is insufficient induce
ment for it. immigration from
abroad, if properly regulated and Sc
lected and distributed, will be much
more important. That, we take it,
is the view by the government of
South Carolina. The experiment it
is making Is intensely interesting.
It may prove of almost incalculable
advantage. It is matter for con-
graduation that the Department OF
Commerce has been able to interpret
the law 80 that it shall not interfere
with that experiment.-Baltimor

1t is to be hoped that the rate of
postage on neWspa pers will not be
increased as has been recommended
by the POstOffice department at
Washington. Papers now pay one
cent per pound, but the new rate is
four cents per pound. If the rate is
increased some of the papers will
have to increase their subscription
nice in order to make both ends
meet. It is true the government
loses on all of the second-class mail
matter handled at the present rate,
but it seems that the railroads could
haul the mail cheaper and thus make
good the deficiency.

Fifteen Thousand In Tips.
London Cable.

London Cable.
The traditional hospitality of the
American Embassy has proved the
making of more than one embassy
servant. The announcement that
John CreDer, who was butler to Jo-
seph B. Choate during his ambasss-
dorship, has opened large hotel in
Devonshire emphasizes this fact.
Creber is said to have amassed more
than $4,000 during his term of SER
vice with Mr.. Choate.
When Whitelaw Reid succeeded
Mr.. Choate he brought his own head
man, Bruce, from New York. He
told Creber that he might stay if he
liked, but under Bruce. Creber in
dignantly refused. He said that he
had been principal servant in the
Ambassadors establishment and he
intended to be "head man or moth
ing"
"Very WE'LL" said Mr.. Reid, "you
can be nothing."'
The ease with which Creter with
drew from service is now explained.
He had more than $4,000 in the
Victoria street branch of the West
minister Bank, in addition to other
funds, and with this money he pur-
chased the controlling interest in a
seaside hotel on the Devonshire
coast. He proposes employing an
American cook to prepare "home"
dishes for transatlantic guests.
Mr.. Choate has written Creber
wishing MIN success in his new VEN
ture. The American Embassy ser
wants make more money than the
servants attached to other embassies,
chiefly because of the number of
American millionaires who visit the
Ambassador from time to time, and
who scatter tips with traditional
generosity.

THE PURE FOOD LAW IN EFFECT.
The Pure Food law went into Ell
feet last Tuesday, January LIST. The
bill was passed at the last session OF
Congress and its administration has
been placed in the hands of the Ag-
ricultural Department. Such a law
hos been needed in this country for
several years, to prevent spurious
products from being put on the
market, and there Is no doubt but
that much good will be derived from
this legislation.
An expert in New York asserts
that the people of that city pay
every year s117, 100000 for "imita-
ton foods', in other words, foods
that are adulterated. With strict
enforcement of the law he estimates
that there will be a great decrease
In the death rate. The law provides
for a staff of food inspectors, who
will be appointed under civil service
rules, and only after they have
passed thorough examination. While
t the Agricultural Department is
charged with the administration of
the law, the Treasury Department
and the Department of Justice will
aid in its enforcement. Great good
will be accomplished if it produces
the results which are expected.
