Gus Werhahn has returned from
his farms down in KiOwa county.
In addition to having had a good
wheat crop down there, Gus has
seventy-five acres of mighty fine
corn. Samples of the same are
on exhibition at his office, and
they certainly look good.

fact for one would expect that
where there is most influence ex.
erted against any certain habit,
condition or stafe of affairs, there
also would be found the normal
state, or rather the desired result
in the affairs of men and women.
The fact has some significance too,
for a very large majority of the
people, the humble class particu-
larly, are more easily persuaded and
enthused by example than by ad-
vice. Poor old Paris has the worst
reputation on this worldwide cues
ton while Japan seems to be be-
yond reproach. It is stated that
the density of population in the
United States is approximately 25
to the square mile while in Japan
the ratio is 3l8! OF course, there
is more territory in the United
States and the congestion is con-
c 9 ntrated chiefly in the East,
Apart from this, though, the table
OF figures as it appears shows
marked contrast.

A crowd is the most dangerous.
as we'll as the most irresponsible,
thing In the world, once it is swept
off its feet by the first impulse of a
panic. 1t is not difficult to cause
panic in crowd and often some
hairbrained idiot will cause consid-
cradle damage to person aud prop
erty by maliciously raising
alarm. Take momentary block
ade, crazy inspiration and aloud
voiced lunatic and the catastrophe
is an accomplished fact. The most
unfortunate thing is that there is
no law to prohibit such occurrence
and also no adequate way of punish
ing the mischiefmaker. A criminal
is put out of the way of society, be-
ing considered menace to it, yet

natics who often cause considerable
damage are not punished by
t The authorities. An asylum or
sanatorium is the place for such
people to be kept In.
In London some years ago an
old lady was in town shopping and
when returning home she travelled
by the underground tube railway.
When the overloaded train stopped
at the Postoffice station IN the city
she suddenly discovered she had
lost her purse and screamed with
the consequence that there was a
stampede from the train to the
elevators leading to the street level,
the crowd believing an accident
or collision was bout to take
place At another time lad of
Is or - years raised a false alarm
that lion had broken loose IN the
streets where a large crowd had
gathered to witness a cir Gus pa
rade. The result was that several
people, chiefly women and children,
were trampled and seriously injur-
ed in the stampede which occur

that she check off the articles that
she desired, SO that the balance

list was returned, accompanied by
a letter asking that all the articles
except the one erased be forward

Reflections.

Time over immigration problems.
The Englishman particularly,
seems to have most consideration
in this problem by the officials, who
claim that large numbers of Eng
tishmen come into the Dominion
quite untitled to adapt themselves
to the new life and new work which
await them there. One of the
chief causes of this influx Of all
kinds and conditions Of English
immigrants is due to the Elusive
and altogether exaggerated lectures
and advertisements presented be-
fore the intending immigrant in
Great Britain. In London, Edin-
burgh, Glasgow and Liverpool the
Canadian Government has agencies
which through extensive and high
ly attractive inducements offered
by lectures, printed handbooks and
carefully-selected photographs of
life and work in Canada, cause the
influx of every Tom, Dick and Har-
ry who believes almost i'm plicity in
what is said of the new country, it's
exceptional advantages for work
and wealth, it's glorious climate,
etc.
Mr.. Magrath, Canadian of the
West, in his book entitled, Cana.
da's Growth, makes some refre sh-
ing comment on the sempiternal
subject. He discusses a number
of the immigration problems; but
does not dwell on either the Eng
lishman's virtues nor Weaknesses.
"We are all prone to the latter"
he says, s'and frequently not over
loaded with the former" He finds
a certain amount Of "bumptious-
ness" natural in the son of great
country like England. But" he
says. "the Englisbman plays the
game squarely and therein has oc-
casion to be satisfied with himself"
He further states that as a citizen
.uf the Canadian West for many
years, he has yet to come across
the many to whom ''no Englisman
need apply"
Personally, I have seen many adj
vertisements in Canadian papers,
also notices at unemployment agencies
in Canada where it distinctly says:
mo Englishman need apply" or
no Englishmen wanted" While
it must be admitted that nearly
every Englishman of education and
Integrity can secure employment
upon arrival in Canada, one must
not forget that the large majority
Of English immigrants are not
particularly brighr, having come
from the lower and lower middle
class at home. Then again, nearly
all those who come to Canada
are from the urban portion of the
population and are consequently
ignorant Of western farming meth
DDS, apart from the obvious fact
that the Canadian farmer is not
inclined to aud in fact will not,
teach HE help, their work. One
thing ought to he done and that is
to inspect medically every immi-
grant upon arrival and segregate
the newcomers, returning those
who eventually are destined to be-
come public charge W h h r
through physical inability or lack
of pecuniary possessions. Some
time ago the papers printed par
agraph stating that a law had been
passed which orders every immi-
grant to possess at least $500 up
on entrance to Canada, but more
important is it that healthy class
should settle in Canada, wealth or
not, for Canada is only building the
foundation of her Dominion and
health is necessary for good work
which in its turn produces pros
perity.
Strange, is it not that the most
striking example Of race suicide
