the ind of the year, the outgo Of
actual cash will be something
really stupendous.
But this denunciation is only what
the country has to go thromgh with
every year, although on a somewhat
reduced scale. AS a matter of fact,
there is an anual drain of large pro-
portions. 1t is only because the
IsteeragA is doing an increased busi-
lneso this winter that the matter is
Given special interest.
It has become a regular thing for
Ilaborcrs to come to this country, to
live in the most frugal manner for a
while and then to return to their old
homes to spend the winter in idle
ness. Not only thousands, but tens
of thousands, do this. The immi-
Igration officials know of great
many cayes where a little farm is
maintained in the old country for
the family while the head of It makes
trips over here for a working sea-
son and returns to his home with
II his boarded dollars. For weeks be-
fore Christmas the steamships al
ways do thriving business with re-
turning laborers. So there Is very
little in the argument that the rush
to Europe is the result of fear that
Am erica is on the verge of a general
business upheaval and that there will
be no work for long time to come.
That argument Is used by those who
do not und' rstand the situation and
do not know that the rush this year
is tn eusual thing, different only
from other yearS because II is larger.
To some extent--a limited extent
the ranks are swelled by those
who have been thrown olt of en-
ployment through cessation of rail-
way development or of enterprises
where large bodies of workmen are
employed. But II the truth were
known II would be found, no doubt.
that there has been such an era OF
pi osperity, that employment has been
so constant and at such good rates,
that money has been saved in unus-
ual quantities and that the average
person who goes home in the steer
age can AFFORD the holiday. For holi-
day II will be for the bulk of them.
Some will remain, having made
enough to start up in some small |
business way among their own peo-
pie bat those who go back and forth |
are exceedingly numerous. Thus
we are paying wages to tens OF thou

tion. II is one OF the methods by

Should he not succeed?
The change from Schmitz is a radical one.
As may easily now see. there was
something radically wrong with a town
which gave itself up to the leadership of
such man. He had no claims upon such
attention. He had had no training for high
responsibilities of any kind. Good looking.

He could not stand against an awakened

The new order means the cleaning up of
the town. Politics of the old order has
been condemned. Government of. for and

information. He should demonstrate
executive capacity in his new post, and
that. with excellent personal character,
should afford the town what 1t needs to
pull itself together under his direction and
once more bespeak the respect of the
world.
The new mayor can do nothing without
popular support and one of his difficulties
may be in keeping the community keyed
up to its present high purpose. A wave OF
reform often too speedily exhausts itself.
