The Sort Of immigration We Need.

We are of the opinion that the
So,,th does not need more laborers-
We already have too many for the
work there is done. In fact, one
half the men who do farm work
could do more than all now 40 II
properly equipped and directed. we
have too many laborers and too many
"bosses'' and overseers and Idle pro-
nrietors already. What we need IS
more working owners; men who Will
own land and direct the farming OF
If themselves. We need more farm
ing in person and less by proxy.
We need men with some means
and much industry who will buy
land, givei it their personal attention
and build comfortable rural homes,
but before these will come IN large
numbers there must come change
over public sentiment as represented
bv the most prosperous OF our Whlte
population. The farmers with small
means who are going by the thous-
ands each year into the Canadian
Northwest are not going to the cold
climate of foreign land in prefer
ence to the hospital Southern ell
mate of their own country, Tor any
other reason than that the spirit
which always attracts immigrants
call them. 1t is that spirit which
saw to the desirable citizen. Come
among US, become one Of us, share
fully with us the rights of American
citizenship, and join hands with US
in developing and building up oul
common country" The desirable
immigrant respond only to the cal
which assures him a full share anC
equal part in all that constitutes the
life of a prosperous and homogene
Gus rural people. There must be NJ
strings to the proposition. no res
ervations, and no assumbtiors of pri
or or superior rights on the part o.
any class or part of the population

NOTED POLITICAL SCOUT IS
DEAD At NORMAO HOME

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 20.-M. l..
Hutchins, familiarly known as The
Scout" is dead at his home at Nor
man, Okla, after an illness of two
weeks with typhoid fever. Hutchins
at the time of his death was live
stock inspector of the state board of
agriculture at Norman. He leaves a
wife and three children.
Hutchins was familiar figure about
the constitutional convention and the
first legislature and was right hand
man to Bill Murray when he was presi-
dent of the convention and later when
he served as speaker of the first
house. Hutchins had a nose for politi-
cal plots seldom equalled in the his
tory of Oklahoma politics and kept
Murray informed of the details of
every dark scheme concocted by the
democratic insurgents. Murray and his
friends always referred to him as The
Scout" and always depended upon him
to keep them informed as to what was
going on in the camp of the enemy.
One notable instance which demon
strated Hutcl1ins' ability as political
detective was noted during the session
of the first legislature The insurgent
movement in the house was waxing
strong and one night the enemies Of
Bill Murray met in an upstairs room
in Guthrie to plan the details of a
coup by which they expected to un-
seat Murray as speaker of the house.
"The Scout learned Of the meeting
in advance and secured entrance to a
room adjoining the one in which the
political piotters were meeting he
bored hole through the wall with an
auger and overheard all that was said.
He went to Murray and his followers
with all the details of the scheme as
soon as the meeting was over and
Murray the next day, possessed of the
plan of battle of the enemy, frustrated
the anticipated coup d'etat before the
insurgents had a chance to put it in
motion.
Hutchins for a time worked as a
bookkeeper at the state dispensary.

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 20-The at
tempted assassination of Mayor Cay
nor OF New York is believed at the
offices of the National Conservation
Congress in st. Paul to have delayed
the reply to the letter requesting
that delegates be sent to the conven-
tion, September 5 to g.
1t was hoped. until word came that
Mayor Gaynor planned a trip to Eu-
rope, that he would head the New
York delegation to the conservation
congress The New York mayor has
not visited st. Paul in years and he
would have been assured a warm well
come in this city, where, despite po-
litical affiliations, he is regarded as
one Of the country's big men. Then
came the news that he had been shot
down and those who did not know
that he would not visit st. Paul we're
keenly disappointed. Herbert P. Kel-
Ter, mayor of st. Paul, was among
those who regretted that the Gotham
mayor would not visit this city.
Word has been received from Chi
cago and other large cities that they
will be represented in the congress-
Mayor Fred A. Busse will head the
delegation from Chicago and the
Commercial club and conservation
committee of that city will send dele
gates.
"The big cities have just as much
interest in conservation as the country
districts" said Thomas R. Shipp, sec
retary Of the congress. They are In
terested in the forests. for 1t is from
them that they get their lumber; they
are interested in the coal mines. for
these supply their fuel; they are inter-
ested in the water power. for it is be-
ing employed more day after day in
producing the electric current so ma
terial to illumination and locomotion;
they favor conservation of the soil, for
it produces the great quantities of
