NEED FOR MORE
HANDS TO WORK
Prof. Steiner of Iowa College Be-
lieves in Unrestricted
immigration.
GOOD Thing FOR The COUNTRY
In Lecture at the Columbia University
Well Known Authority Says Ar
sument of Withdrawal of
Money is Foolish.

New York, Feb. 25.-Prof. Edward
"A. Steiner of Iowa college, who is de-
livering a course Of lectures at Colum-
bia university is in favor of unrestrict-
ed immigration into this country.
In his first lecture to the under
graduates he said:
There Is greater need in this coun-
try for men who are willing to work
with their hands than for men who live
by their wits. The 100000 immigrants
who came to our shores last year serv-
ed far better purpose than would
an equal number of university grad-
yates with hands uncalloused and
minds unwilling to begin work at the
bottom of the ladder.
"The argument that the country is
impoverished by the withdrawal Jf
money of returning immigrants Is
foolish Most of the money that IS
taken abroad goes in the wallets of
Yankee tourists. expatriates and heir
esscs who are marrying into the no.
bility.
"The pilgrim fathers were merely
steerage PASSENGERS on a par wtth
those of the present day"

If Mr.. Balfour declines to take Of

petent observers that the Only avail
able man possessing the requisite

declare that it is only a question of
time until Sir Edward becomes prime

at the age of 23 years he made some
stir at an early period of his career
by his independence on the question of
Irish land purchase. He was only 80
when Mr.. Gladstone appointed him, i'm
1892, under secretary for foreign af-
fairs. AS his chief was in the house
of lords, his position was important,
and ii became particularly delicate
when Lord Rosebery succeeded to the
premiership. Sir Edward Grey had to
expound a policy with which il was
suspected Lord Rosebery's principal
colleague did not always sympathize.
He did the work which tnen fell 20
his hands with courage as well as with
proprlety. Later, during the period of
liberal opposition. he came strongly TO
the front as critic of the foreign poll

Il is believed that the challenge is
the result Of a recent criticism OF the
D'Urbano band, which appeared in an
Eastern musical paper over the sigma
tuse Of George d. Barnard. director
Of the c. & II band. The criticism in
question is the basis Of a suit for libel
which has been started against M.

stirred up in the musical circles Of this

MICHIGAN RANKS SEyFNTH
IN NUMBER OF Immigrants
Most OF Those Who Came to This

NEW ARRIVALS TOTAL 21,635

According to the annual report of
the commissioner general of immigra-

ending June 3O 1909, Michigan ranks
as seventh state in point of the num-
Der of immigrants received. The re-

mines in the upper peninsula. There
were 1880 Poles and 2,792 English.
The great majority of the latter were
Canadians. Italians to the number OF
l,1S6 came to augment the population.
only one Chinese is reported as enter
ing.
What Is the reason of the increased
and still increasing inflow of Iberlc
and Slavic people?" asks the report
and answers it: "The peasants of the
countries mentioned have for a num-
ber Of years supplied a rich harvest
to the promoter of immigration. The
promoter is usually a steamship ticket
agent, employed on commission
basis, or a professional money lender
or a combination of the two. His
only interest is the wholly selfish one
of gaining his commission and collect

steamship lines, large and small with
out scruple, and to the enormous pro-
fit OF such lines.
THE bureau has been meeting this
situation as best it could with the law
at its disposal by rejecting large num-
bers of aliens, especially where parties
of them have come from the same
localities and are destined to the same
addresses: but it is difficult to secure
