Hard Times in America Keep

Republican Faith Cure Prosperity
Conventions Have No Effect on
Continental People-A Big
Decrease Shown.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The i'm
ting the steamship companies hard
blow The falling off in number of
immigrants from almost every coun
try in Europe and Asia during the
past several months is one of the
interesting developments of the
problem. The cry of hard times in
America is still ringing throughout
Europe, and distressing accounts of
men out of work and daily suffering
as reflected in the bread lines of the
larger cities, have been sent back
to the mother countries by the i'm
migrants who are already here. The
faith cure prosperity conventions,
which the Taft campaign committee
has been promoting in Ohio and New
York, have failed to impress the i'm
migrants who are out of work here
or those in Europe who have heard
the tidings from their kinsmen In
this country
Whereas in July, 1907, 97,132
immigrants landed in this country,
there arrived, according to informa-
tion furnished by Secretary Straus
of the department of commerce and
labor, only 27,570 immigrants dur
ing July of this year, falling of
OF 69,562 for single month. 1t may
| be interesting to note that the coun-
tries in Europe where the laboring
! element is in closest touch through
their kinsmen with labor conditions
in this country, show the greatest
falling OFF. Austria, during July,
/ 1907, sent 11,864 immigrants and
this past July but 1912, a falling
of of 1852 from that country
alone. The decrease from Hungary
was 8,437. The Italians, through
their padrone system, have the best
! grip on the foreign labor situation
in this country, dropped from 19,477
in July, 1907, to 2,451 in July, 1908
Two per cent, or 525 of the immi-
grants arriving in July, were debar-
! red from entering the country fol-

Chicago, Aug. 24.--Now that
William j. Bryan has set his seal of
approval upon the plans made by

Sept. 8 to consider whether the line
of action taken is proving effective.
Politics was eschewed at headquart-

HEAVY RAIN VISITS COUNTY.
Precipitation In Waxahachie l
More Than Three Inches.

Precipitation In Waxahachie Is
More Than Three Inches.
Local showers which visited Ellis
county at spasmodic intervals last
week were followed by heavy rains
Sunday which We're general over the
county. The precipitation in Waxa-
hachie according to the record of
Local Observer Longserre was 3.39
inches. OF this amount 1872 inches
fell Sunday night.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that this rain will prove injurious
to the cotton crop of the county.
The boil worms had about ceased
their devastations, but it is now
feared they will resume work on a
much more damaging scale Cotton
opened rapidly during the past
week and but for the rain picking
would have become quite general
this week.

Business Men Subscribe to Fund
for Washington Street Walk.
How would you like for some one
to make you present of nice ce-
ment sidewalk? There are some en-
terprising business men in Waxaha-
chic who are deeply interested in
the matter of the construction Of q
sidewalk on the West side of Wash
ington street, from Madison street
to the Brazos Valley right of way,
and they have expressed willing
ness to build the walk IL the owners
Of the property fronting the street
cannot be induced to do so. Volun-
tary contributions are being solicited
by o. Beseler who took the initiative
in this matter, for the purpose of
constructing a cement sidewalk. 1t
is probable that committee from
among those subscribing to the
fund will be appointed to see the
owners of this property and appeal
to them to build the walk If they
refuse the work will be done by the
public. The following subscriptions
have been secured by Mr.. Beseler,
and he has the promise of more:

Up to the People.
Political developments in the last
twenty-four hours, since Mr.. Bryan's S
arrival here, show that the mana
gers of the democratic campaign
have put the fight into the hands of
Mr.. Bryan and up to the people. Mr..
Bryan has already made two speech
es-his address of acceptance and
the tariff speech at Des Moines-and
this week will find him making sew
eral speeches in the Middle West,
where Chairman Mack has decided
to make the main fight of the cam
paign.
New York is to be invaded and in
all probability, New Jersey, Dele
ware. Maryland and West Virginia,
and in these states, as well as in In
diana, Ohio, Illinois and Iowa, the
democratic candidate will make his
principal struggle for victory. After
Mr. Bryan has chosen each of the
several planks of the party platform
as the theme of an extended speech,
he will then in those speeches to be
made later in the camapign elucidate
upon the very suggestions in greater
detail. Chairman Mack has inform
ed Mr.. Bryan that the committee
does not intend to call upon him to
make as many speeches as in other
campaigns, but it is known that the
demand for Mr.. Bryan's services
have become insistent from many
quarters and there is a strong posi-
bility that before the end of next
month Mr.. Bryans speaking plans
may undergo many changes.
