IMMIGRATION.

The trunk line railway companies
tell us that the volume of immigra-
ton to the west is greater at present
than it was in any of the preceding
years since the early COS. More than
100000 immigrants from Europe
have settled in the Mississippi valley
In the past six years, and the num-
Der who are coming in 1907 is above
that of the corresponding time in
1906. Along to April 5, the date to
which the comparison Is carried,
1907 exceeds 1906 to the extent of
over $4,000. Moreover, more than
so per cent of the immigrants to the
west have been tieketed for points
west of Chicago.
All this will be pleasing news to
the people of this section. In the
early days of the immigration wave
most of the incomers located west of
the Alleghenies. This was especially
true after the Grow homestead law
went into operation in 1868. In re-
cent years, however. the greater part
of the immigrants have remained in
the Atlantic seaboard states north of
Maryland. Over 100000 of immi-
grants came into the country in.
1906, but nearly two-thirds of them
settled in New England, New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania The
number which are coming west is in
ereasing absolutely, though possibly
not proportionately. Very likely the
irrigation act of 1902, when it be-
gins to assert itself with some posi-
tiveness, will increase the ratio of
immigrants who cross the Mississippi.
One of the pleasing signs of the
times Is that the south is getting
much more Immigration than it for
merly attracted the chances for en-
plOyment in factories and on farms
and plantations are numerous in the
south, but that section was neglected
by immigrants until recently. Even
now it could give employment to
hundreds of thousands more persons
than it gets. The state authorities
in large part of the south are pre-
pairing to engage in the immigra-
ton-inducing business, so far as they
can do this without coming in con-
fiiet with the laws. Some of the wes-
tern states, too, !are thinking about
engaging in this. business. The re-
cord of immigration to the west thus
far in 1907 gives some hope that the
industries of this region will event
fully get the supply of workers which
they need-St. Louis Globe-Demo-

PRIMARY IN MISSOURI.

Up in Missouri next year, for the
first time, will be tried the expert
ence of a state primary election for
tn nomination of candidates for state
offices on all party tickets. All the
vote will be cast on the same day,
making the election, practically a
general election. Missouri has never
had a state primary, and politicians
are continually asking what it will
cost and how it will operate Pros
peetive candidates, particularly, are
studying the effect of the new prim-
airy election law, as it relates to their
own personal chances for success.
The state primary will be very ex-
pensive, say some of the candidates
who must canvass the entire state.
On the other hand, there are many
who claim that the new primary will
be no more expensive than the old
convention system.
There are ia counties and the city
of ST. Louis in Missouri. 1t will re-
quire at least twelve months vigor-
Gus travelling to make campaign in
all of these counties Even a visit
to the county seat would scarcely be
possible in less time than this. But
the wise candidates for public Office
does not confine his campaigning to
the county seat in any county. There
is more or less prejudice in every
county between the political leaders
in the outlying districts and those of
the county seat, and the wise cam
paigner wishes to have both elements
in his favor The campaign for the
nominations of various parties is
likely to open in Missouri during the
present fall, over year before the
actual election of the state officers is
made, and at least twelve months be-
fore the nominating primary is held.
. An economical candidate for a
state Office ought to be able to make
the race in the Missouri primary for
$4,000 or $4,000 For the Office
of governor or United States senator.
his expenses would necessarily be
more, but even then the expenses can
possibly be held down to $4,000 or

quires the expenditure of from $685.
900 to $4,000, and in a state like
Missouri the expenses ought not to
be more than double what they are in
Florida. No, state primary is not
so expensive luxury as it might be,
and the Missouri politician will find
this to be fact after one trial.

In the past ten years s2SS,000, 900
has been sent from the various parts
of the United States to foreign coun-
tries, and nearly all of it went to
enable fresh emigrants to come to
this country. For year ending Janu-
airy /. 1907, the postal remittanceS
amounted to s6O,O6O.00O and the
number of immigrants exceeded
1000, 900, the largest number for one
year, of which there is any record.
Florida offers to immigrants the best
advantages of any state in the Union,
yet a few of the vast army of immi-
grants find their way to this state.
No doubt hundreds and thousands
would come if they were told of the
wonderful resources and the oppor-
tunties offered here, and until some
efforts are made along this line and
some organization effected either by
the state or the state board of trade,
or some other body. We cannot hope
to see Florida get her full share of
immigrants, The present leSisla-
ture should take this important mat
ter up and see if something cannot
be done along this line.
