The Magic Name of America"

Last year they sent to their families and
friends in Italy and 10 the Italian saw
ings banks for deposit over $l3,000,OO0,
which was an increase in one year of
more than 100000. Even the Greeks.
who are few in number, sent home over
100000 last year. As the Christmas sea-
son approaches, the volume of cheap
travel to Europe always increases. Inquiry
develops the fact that many foreigners
visit their old home at intervals. When
ever there is a strike at the coal mines,
or at any Of the large works where for
eigners are employed. there is an imme-
date exodus for Europe Surely this is a
land of plenty. when it rewards the alien
laborer with a living for himself, assist
ance for his absent loved ones, and hOli-
day excursions across the Atlantic.
Last year we attracted more immi-
grants from Italy than from any other
nation. Now, how does this wonderful
United States compare with that country
from which they came? Italy has pub
lie debt of S7s.S5 per capita; the United
States has a national debt of slL51 per
capita. Italy has a money circulation Of
So. 70, while the United States has a money
circulation OF S33.9S per capita In other
words, should a direct and immediate tax
be levied for the payment of our national
debt Tan impossible contingency used
merely for illustration the United States
could pay OF its obligation and have a
balance Of $2157 per capita, while Italy,
if she paid the whole amount of money in
circulation, would still owe $3.50 per cap
tia, OF about four-ffths of her whole
debt.
a good illustration Of the number of
people coming to this country from Italy
may be had by the following statement.
II the immigration into the United States
from Italy last year had been followed
by an emigration from the United States
to any other country in the same proper
ton, and all these emigrants had gone
from the city Of Chicago, there would
now be only sixty-three residents in the

Answer: Naturally. Mrs. Roosevelt calls
upon all her friends, but does not make
any formal calls. The Arbiter was asked
not long ago If the wife Of the President
visited the foreign embassies. Her
course in this direction is dictated solely
by her personal interest. Il is an I'M

family should not call at the homes Of
foreign ambassadors or ministers. be-

The rapid assimilation of foreigners to

Not for many years have so many mem
bers of the House been promoted 10 the
Senate at the same time as during the
past week In that time three Repre-
sentatives have been elected by their
respective State legislatures to the Upper
Chamber, and the victory of each was
comparatively easy. William Alden Smith
has been chosen to succeed Senator AIger,
of Michigan; Joseph NJ. Dixon has been
elected in place of the opulent William
A Clark, of Montana, and Charles Curtis
won an easy triumph at Topeka over d
great host Of competitors for the seat
disgraced by Joseph Ralph Burton.
Messrs. Smith and Curtis are members
of the Ways and Means Committee. so
that their transfer TO the Senate at this
time will leave vacancies on that i'm
portant committee which will be scram-
bled for In lively fashion in view OF the
prospects OF tariff revision Of some sort
at the next session of Congress. Mr..
Curtis, as is we'll known, is nearly full
bloOded Indian, and Is the first member
of his race elected to the Senate. Mr..
Dixon is a native of North Carolina.
where most of his people are Democrats.
He came from that part of the Tarheel
State which proudly boasts Of having
been the birthplace of Speaker Cannon.
From many standpoints Mr.. DixOn's vic
tory is probably the most notable Of the
year in the Senatorial line. He had the
unrelenting opposition Of the Republican
machine in Montana, but was lucky
enough to gain the favor OF President
Roosevelt. This fact was used 10 excel
lent advantage by his supporters in his
race for the Senate The President took
no active part in the campaign, but il is
noteworthy that he did not deny the
reports sent to Montana from Washing
ton that he would be pleased by Mr.
Dixon's election to the Senate. Had It
not been for this 1t Is probable that
former Senator Lee Mantle would have
been returned TO the Senate.

In searching history for comparisons Of
migratlons, it seems that the pilgrimage
of the Israelite was the first great trek"
of which we have an authentic account.
It is believed that there were about a
million souls involved in that movement
which lasted forty years. During a SINH

Caleb and Joshua told the Israelites the
Promised Land was so rich that IL was
flowing with milk and honey. Let us see
how we can show up with Canaan on
THAI score. Last year Uncle Sans COWS
produced enough milk, butter, and cheese
to sell for $500 600, and our bees are
annually producing 100000 worth Of
honey, which would surely be enough to
sweeten the ''half-baked cake of

The whole vocabulary Of mankind con-
tains no more alluring name than that Of
America. This country has attracted
more home-hunters than ever went any
where else since the world began All
the other migrations Of men are puny at
fairs in comparison with the movement
to the United States; in fact, the grand
totals Of this unparalleled trek to the
land Of the free and home Of the brave
are so staggering that mere figures do
not convey their full significance 10 the
mind. Let US make our SMILES without
the aid Of figures.
There are more Jews in the State Of
New York than were numbered among
the hosts who followed Moses from Egypt
TO the Promised Land. The manner in
which the subjects of the Kaiser flocked
10 Yankeeland is indicated by the fact
that there are nearly zoo newspapers in
this country which are printed in the Ger
man language. There are so many French
Canadians in Lowell Mass, that they
hold the balance of power in the munich
pal elections Of that busy manufacturing
center. The Swedes are so thick in the

ish as a subscription premium. and there
are so many Irishmen in New York City
that last year 1000 Sons Of Erin marched
in the parade on st. Patrick's Day.
That the lure Of America IS not a myth
is proved by the material condition of
I75,O00 natives OF Italy who now make
their home in New YOrk-a colony in a
single community Of the United States
containing more Italians than there are
in the City of Venice. These New York
Italians possess property worth $50. Co.,

The organ grinder and the banana man
usually send a portion of their nickels
and dimes TO dependent ones on the other
side, and the sum total from such sources
soon climbs into the millions. The enor-
nous sums going from this country TO
Europe in this manner are shown by the
pOst-Ofice receipts. During the last fiscal
year the United States sent postal money
orders abroad TO the amount Of S62. 937. 73S.
and inasmuch as most business transac-
tons are conducted through banks, the
bulk Of the money-order receipts is con
