Some Of the South American countries
are also receiving the flood of emigra
ton which is pouring out of Europe.
The Argentine Republic received over
100000 newcomers from Europe last
year, at least we are told that S6S3O9
persons from Europe landed in Buenos
Ayres and the number which departed
was 164.145. leaving 2O2 1854 to be added
to the population of that growing coun-
try. The Italians numbered 1858:
Spaniards. 1921; Syrians, III; Aus
TRANS. 4,2T; French. 1888; English.
1880; Mon.enegrins. 1851; Greeks, 9+5;
Portuguese, SS5; Brazilians. $50; Swiss.
500. The office of work sent some
114,00O to interior regions. 1t is said
that there was no difficulty in provid-
ing employment for all who applied for
assistance. which is good indication
of the activity of the country and Of
its capacity Tor absorbing labor.

There is big "if' tied to the gift of
$4,000 to Bowdoin College from the
Rockefeller fund. since it is contin-
gent upon the securing OF five times
that sum by the college from other
sources. The time within which this
must be done is not indicated in the
dispatch which announces the gift. but
no doubt the limit is a reasonable one.
The selection of Bowdoin as one of the
five colleges chosen by the. trustees of
the fund out of 400 institutions MAX
ing application is eloquent testimony OF
its high standing in the educational
world. Let us hope the condition may
promptly be met by the wealthy friends
of the college and the college receive
the financial help which it needs and
deserves.

The Limit of Greed.

In It's report Of the 'rBass meeting"
held in Portland Tuesday forenoon, the
Portland Advertiser tells how Mr..
Charles W. Deering made "a much ap-
plauded speech" and quotes him as fol-
lows:
1--WE must realize that we have a
powerful opponent in Augusta as a
city. 1t is case of life or death with
that village on the Kennebec. If she
loses the State House, what then? II
Augusta did not have the State House
and the State institution for the In
sane she would be a COW pasture in less
than half a century. That is. I say she
would be a COW pasture. 1 can see no
other end for her. She certainly
would be but a dwarf of city, and l
don't think the land even in Augusta is
worth tilling. Cows might exist there
as we'll as in my pasture
Here was an opinion expressed in
open mass meeting that Portland's at
tempt to crafty its civic pride by Sc
curing the State capital would. if sue
cessful, convert another Maine city.
which has borne an honorable
part in the history of our
State into "a COW pasture" and the
Advertiser states that this cold and
brutal expression of sordid greed
reckless of consequences was much
applauded" by the citizens Of Portland
in mass meeting assembled.
Augusta people certainly have no
special reason, in view Of the events of
the past winter, to love Portland: but
there are none of them who would
wish any calamity to befall her. We
do not believe there is a man in Au-
gusta small enough or contemplate
enough to advocate any measure that
would seriously cripple her welfare,
much less convert her into "a COW pas
ture." If man sufficiently small of
soul could be found to advocate in this
community any measure that would re-
suit in making Portland "a dwarf OF
city" or "a COW pasture" he would be
escorted out of town on a rail. The
citizens of Augusta have never yet
tried to build up their own community
by tearing some other community
down. They have never yet accus-
toned themselves to view with salts
faction and pleasure a possible catas-
trophy to sister city. They may have
their faults. but, thank God. there is
not one of them mean enough to APP
plaud the advocacy of any policy OF
civic greed accompanied with the ex-
ultant assertion that the adoption OF
such policy would convert prosper
Gus Maine city into "a COW pasture!

Baltimore advances the project of a
great exposition in 1914 to celebrate
the centennial of the writing of The
Star Spangled Banner by Francis
Scott Key. On the face of it this
looks like carrying the exposition BUSH
ness to the limit but Baltimore is a
hustling city and has shown so much
enterprise and spirit in recovering
from its great fire that it probably
wants to get little more prominently
into the limelight and takes the ex-
position route to get there.

A Mexican MilIionaire's Gift.

The plutocratS of this country are
giving their millions for all sorts of
purposes these days but it has re-
establish fund to be used for the ex-
termination of a race. The millionaire
and he has just given the Mexican
government s1O,0OO,0O0 to be used in
wiping the Yaqui Indians off the face
of the earth. Alvarado, who was
poor and ignorant miner dozen years
ago. has made a colossal fortune and is
SO public spirited that he wants to pay
off Mexico's national debt which
amounts to about s2oO,OOO.OOo But
President Diaz thinks a certain amount
of debt is a good thing for the country
and has refused the offer. The matter
of DISCRIMINATING the Yaquis is looked
upon with more favor than the eXtermi-
nation of the debt and so the S10,000,-
900 has been accepted with thanks.
A regiment is to be raised, Mexican
army officers are to command it, the
Mexican war department is to disburse
the funds, and the work is to begin
The only unsettled point as yet is as to
the men who are to serve in the ranks.
Alvarado wants to recruit them in
Arizona and Dakota. but the war min
lister thinks they ought to be native
Mexicans. The Yaquis may have a
preference. but they are not being con-
suited.
The theory Of Alvarado is that the
Yaquis are such natural born" fight
ers that they will never live quietly I'M
til they are killed to the last man.
Their reputation is indeed one of un-
ceasing fighting, but the facts of their
history do not support that reputation.
What the facts do show is that they
still retain their clan organization
largely because of their intelligence and
industry, and that every now and then
when they are crowded too closely by
their Mexican neighbors they fight
fiercely for what they deem their
rights. Their home Is in the central
part Of Sonora, state lying just south
of Arizona.
In 1901 there was 4 great uprising of
the Yaquis. but they were defeated in
two great battles and had to submit.
In 1925 they revolted under Banderas
against heavy taxation. and after
three years fighting they got material
concessions from the government. Ban
deras headed another rising in 1882. but
lost his life in it's progress. The mex;
| uprising WAS in 1Ss4-7, due to encroach-
| ments on the lands of the tribe, and
the present uprising began in 1900 or
account Of the encroachments of the
