The steerage and the Census.

The Steerage and the Census.
1t Is pertinent to ask whether the
aliens do not go out of this country as
rapidly as they come. The next cen
sus is expected to show to what ex-
tent the steerage crowds we have been
welcoming the past few years really
added to our permanent population and
incidentally whether there is not ali
element of national wealth involved
here which is worth looking after
Recently published figures reveal tho
fact that while three-quarters of q
million aliens were admitted here last
year the net increase of our alien popu
lation was only few thousand souls
1t is estimated that those who re
turned to their native lands during
that period carried back nearly three
quarters of a billion dollars of Amer
lean coin.
Since the issue of the last census
several million immigrants have como
here. How many returned to theil
own countries is not a matter of rec
ord up to last year. The census to be
taken in 1910 will throw light upon
this question. If aliens come here by
the million to skim the cream of til,
wage market and carry it off to Eu
rope and Asia, the investment. o.
wealth in alien slaber may be bad
speculation afteraalls If we have til.
labor here it would be economy to Sc
It on the Job and keep the wages at
home. 5-sA ~ s1s

Attack on Woman Follows Closely
Murder of Girl.

Attack on woman FOLLOWS Closely
Murder of Girl.
Dayton, o., Jan. 26. - Sam Morris
and Charles Snyder. held as suspects
in the murder of Mary Forschner, IS
were released from custody. Both
men have shown that they are limo
cent and the police are now without
clew to the identityof the assailant
Additional indignation was caused
when another attack upon a woman
became known. Mrs. James Powers
living in West Third street, was res
cued from the clutches of an un
known man by her husband, after her
clothing had been torn and her throat
bruised. The man escaped.
The coroner established the fact
that the murderer of Miss Forschner
possesses enormous hands, as the i'm
prints of his fingers on the throat OF
his victim extend far around heI
neck. 1t has been further deter.
mined that the girl was attacked in
the shed in which her body was
found. The ground at the scene OF
the assault presents unmistakable ev-
idence that the victim made a des
perate struggle in defense of her life
as the sod and sand were torn and
covered with tracks.

of the natural resources of the
country, coupled with an equally
rough outline of the principal chan

waste passes. Yet rough as it is, it

enters upon absolutely new statistical
territory, in many cases, and as a
whole has no existent basis upon
which to shape itself.
At random we take a few Of its
briefly stated yet immensely signif-
cant facts:
Our coal supply will approach de-

century.
High grade iron ores cannot be ex-
pected to last beyond the middle of
the present century, nor will petro-
1eum last longer.
The waste In the extraction and
treatment of mineral products in 1907
was equivalent to more than $780,
100000.
The average yield of wheat in the
United States is less than IA bushels
per acre, in Germany, % bushels and
In England 80 bushels.
The greatest unnecessary loss of
our soil is preventable erosion. Sec
ond only to this is the waste, nonuse
and misuse of fertilizer derived from
animals and men.
Oud wild game and fur bearing an
finals have been largely exterminated.
With game birds the story is much
the same.
Not less than 5O,OOO,OOO acres of
forest is burned over yearly.
One-fourth of the standing timber
is lost in logging. The boxing of
long-leaf pine for turpentine has de-
istroyed one fifth of the forests work

third to two thirds of the timber

Of each 1000 feet which stood in

By reasonable thrift we can pro-
duce constant timber supply beyond
our present needs, and with it con-
serve the usefulness of our streams
for irrigation. water supply, naviga-

of invention many things have been
furnished him which mona archs of the
past could not enjoy. The trolly car,
for instance, would have been an
amazing luxury not only for Queen
Elizabeth, but for Abraham Lincoln.
But such things have nothing to do
with the price of food, or the require
ments of labor. During the past two
years the average American labOrer,
working sometimes on half and sOme-
times on quarter time, and sometimes
standing in bread lines, has not lived
better in the matter of food than
Queen Elizabeth or the average Eng
lishman of Elizabeth's time. For it
is one of the historic facts that the
English people of Elizabeth's time
were extraordinarily well fed. IfSec-
retary Wilson had said that our labor
ing elements are better fed than the
French or German peasantry, harried
by the wars of that era, he would have
been correct.
This, however, is a mild error be-
side the current representation that
the farmers are making all the money.
1t is true that the present condi-
ditions are extraordinarily favorable
for the farmers who have wheat and
eggs and butter to sell. The business
OF farming in judiciously selected To-
cations. and pursued by industry and
scientific methods, is one of the surest
ways for the ordinary hard worker to
get a comfortable living. But the
allegation that the farmer is absorb
ing the wealth of the country is dis
pelied by single question: Where
is the farmer who in IA lifetime has
made by sticking to farming hun
dred millions, or fifty, or even five?
1t is doubtful if a case can be found
where farmer starting with nothing
and conining himself to that industry
has made even single million.
I,t there are lines of effort in
which the accumulation of million
is commonplace success. Men ambi-
tious to make one of those signal for
tunes are not rushing into farming as
the most hopeful field for accumulat-
ing millions.
Judith Gap journal., 1909-10-01

no one questions these facts, but it is f.
not SO long ago that the man who
urged such views was laughed at as
visionary and told that he would
starve to death if he tried anything of
that sort.
Mr.. Hills talk was good thing for
the state. Not only will 1t help to
advertise our resources to the outside
world, but it will encourage faith
among our own people in the great
future that is to come to the state
from its agricultural lands. Montana
has never known such agricultural
development as it is enjoying this
year, and the splendid results of that
development assure it in even greater
volume next year and the years fol-
lowing. Mr.. Hill is a clear sighted
and far seeing man. He saw the pos
sibilities of this country when other
men called him crazy for building his
railroad through what they said was
desert. Every one now admits his
wisdom in undertaking that work,
and by and by every one will admit
he did not Overestimate when he pre-
dicted that Montana would become
the greatest producer of small grains
in the Union.
