MAORI TRADITIONS.
legends and Customs Of the Natives
Of New Zealand.


Of New Zealand.
Many traditions Of the Maoris of
New Zealand indicate true refinement
Of feeling. That OF Nlwareka, or Great
Delight, Is one Of these and represents
a gentle Maori maiden, beautiful and
modest who, though deeply loving her
bridegroom, yet Bhudders at the bar.
barity Of his people and at his delight
in blo0dshed and cruelty. Unable to
bear the sights and sounds around her,
she passes from his embrace and seeks
the shadows of another world. Only
through great suffering and sacrifice
does her young husband, unable to bear
his solitary lot, redeem her from the
shades, This beautiful legend is bound
up with the origin OF the custom Of the
tattoo. an ordeal which the lover was
compelled to endure that he might
realize the nature OF suffering.
One Of the finest legends of old Mao
ri romance relates how daughter Of
the heavens condescends to dwell with
man, but, repealed by his rudeness
and want OF sympathy, ascends again
to the skies, carrying with her her
earth born child. Her husband Is only
able to reach her and regain her love
by climbing upward, not by earthly
tendrils, but by those which, descend
ing from the heavens, have taken root
in earth"
One curious feature of the domestic
life OF the New Zealand natives Is that
the old women are led to believe that
the highest honor they can enjoy is to
be permitted to do all the cooking and
prepare the food. A great deal Of la
Dor Is thus left TO them, which they
cheerfully perform, resentlng any In
reference on the part OF the younger
Maori women, who thus have plenty OF
leisure for acknowledging News.

Dodgeyille Chronicle
While RUFUS d. Quick, editor of the
Montfort Mail, was working around his
power press last Thursday, he unthink-
ingly stepped between the wall and the
arm that runs the cylinder The arm
caught him in the abdomen with such
pressure as to move the whole press,
which weighs from 8, 900 to 4, 600 pounds,
about three inches.
In a letter to this office Wednesday
Mr. Quick says: "The lever that oper-
ates the cylinder and our Prouty press
ran within two inches of the wall and in
the hurry | stepped behind one of the
levers, but took hold Of it with both
hands which forced my elbows to the
wall on either side of me and moved the
press about three inches back, the re-
maindeI of the force taking me in the
abdomen am now almost over the
effects of the squeeze, but painfully
sore 1t is needless to say we have
moved the press out a foot or more.

The Immigrant and His Money


Chicago Tribune.
How much of the enormous sum
which the immigrant sends back to his
native land could be retained in
| America?
The question is practical and impor-
tant one, for the drain upon our wealth
from this one cause is greater than is
realized. An investigation of this sub
iect of the immigrants use of his
money has been made in New York and
has already resulted in the introduction
of bill in the state legislature for the
dissemination of information among
our foreign population as to industrial
and agricultural investments.
1t has been estimated - though the
estimate probably is a greatly exag-
gerated one that some $500, 600, 600
was sent to Europe in 1907 by immi-
grants, and the investigation disclosed
the fact that large part Of this sum
might have been invested in America
had the immigrants been provided with
proper information and proper assur-
ances. 1t is probably true that the
bulk of the money sent back could not
be retained here. This includes pay
ments for advances made abroad and
for the maintenance of families left at
home. There is besides large proper,
ton of the immigrants nowadays who
do not intend to stay in America, who
hope to save enough from their higher
wages to lay up a sum at home which,
at home standards of living, amounts
to competency.
But under present conditions not only
is nothing done to check this tendency
by encouraging investment and the idea
of permanent residence here but there
are strong influences the other way;
that is, the immigrant banks-of which
there are said to be in greater New
York alone 1000 illegally formed and
operated make their profit from the
immense aggregate remittances. 1t is
the interest of these obscure but insidi-
Gus and influential agencies to encourage
the sending of money abroad.
The situation is but one of many illus
trations of the unnecessary evils which
our want of intelligent study and treat
ment Of the problems of immigration
has involved. Happily we are coming
to a realization of our social, political,
and economic interest in the newcomer,
in his protection from exploitation,
his distribution, and his intelligent
assistance.

Milwaukee Free Press.
Word is received from Chicago of a
combined attack soon to Dc made by
railroads doing business in Illinois, Min
nesota and Missouri, through the fed
eral courts, TO test the constitutionality
of the several laws in those states, pro-
viding for the 2-cent fare, and the lit
igation that win follow is expected to
be the most important undertaken by
the railroads in many years.
Since the recent decision in the Mis-
souri,, Minnesota and North Carolina
cases it is understood that there win be
no delay by the roads in applying to
the federal courts for injunctions to re-
strain the states from maintaining the
2-cent law and penalties. 1t is under
stood that these suits will be institutep
within a week or two.

been reported, indeed, that no conclu-
sion has been reached to test the Wis
consin law at all; possibly because the
railroads accepted the finding of the
state railroad commission, and the diff
ference between the rate fixed in that
decision and the one provided by the
legislature soon afterward is not enough
to nav to make trouble over. But if
action is at Last brought to test the
legality Of the Wisconsin act it will of
course be brought in the federal courts,
which the railroads have reason to feel
are not "unfriendly.
1t is claimed that the railroads have
been collecting statistics for year to
prove that the 2-cent rate is too small
to pay expenses, and that the law pro-
yiding it is therefore confscatory, and
therefore in violation of the federal
constitution. Railroad men claim that
all they will ask is to have a chance to
prove in federal courts that are not
influenced, as are state courts, by the
acts of their state legislatures, that
the rate laws are in violation Of the
provision Of the constitution.
