FROA OTHER PENS
ECONOMIES OF GOVERNMENT.


Ore of the wisest acts of Col Roose-
welt when he was president was tho
appointment of commission to in
ouire into the business management of
several branches of the public service
with a vi wv to effecting economies. A
rumber Of recommendations were made
which result ed in a material reduction
in expenses in some departments.
Changes also were made which cut
away a great amount of red tape that
had hampered government work.
President Taft, who has been in
sympathy with the movement has Just
appointed four groups of experts to
carry on the investigation, with view
in increasing the business efficiency of
the departments and thus effecting
furth..r economics. Cor gress gave him
100000 with which to meet the ex-
penses of the Investigations. 1t IS ex-
pected that some executive offfcer in
each department and Independent bu-
reau will be designated to cooperate
with the experts. The idea is not to
cut off a clerk here and there, but to
devise new cleiteds VIII -rever present
practice appears to demand reforming.
Desrite all that politicians say to the
contrary, every one understands that
there is enormous waste In carving on
the business of government. The wa re
reaches in all directions and includes
almost every thing f. cm pins 20 clerk

ment heads who have stood with the
politicians against changes in methods.
but the great majority Of them rave

TWO VIEWS OF ALASKA.
That eminent judge of a good in
vestment, Jacob H. Schiff of New
York has been to Alaska looking over
tko nnCaihi1ifioS New YORK
fnanciers for sometime have had
their eyes on Alaskan properties, SO
that Mr.. Schiff's interest in them is
not surprising. He returns much i'm
pressed by the need of a definite pol
icy on the part of the government to
be laid down at the earliest moment.
such policy must be outlined In
the very near future, else Alaska will
be locked up for a generation Capt.
talists like Mr.. Schiff are much i'm
pressed with this view, and they also
stand aghast at the thought that
Alaska should be locked up for gen.
Grafton. To exploit its natural riches
its coal and iron mines, its forests
and it's precious metals-and to ex-
plot them at once under private con-
troll is the capitalistic idea of pro-
gressive policy. But there is another
view, which has obtained strong
hold of late upon the public mind.
1t is better, after all, that Alaska be
locked UP, even for a generation, than
that it's resources should be exploited
in the old waSteful, slap-dash way for
the benefit of monopolistic private in
terests. Two of the members of the
cabinet have gone to Alaska this
summer, and it is to be hoped that
they will be able to aid the president
in formulating proper policy of
Alaskan development.-Sprin Re

IMMIGRATION STATISTICS.

When one studies the statistics OF
immigration for the past fiscal year
one does not wonder that the south
mas united in great propaganda
movement to attract attention to her
resources and opportunities. The fig
ures show that the south attracted an
almost negligible percentage of the
total immigration. though she has mill
hons OF unoccupied acres and the need
Tor labor Is great. For the period
from July. 1909, to April, 1910, both
inclusive, the number of persons COM

Carolina 142. Tennessee 445. Virginia

states having mines and manufactures
naturally attracted more immigrants,
but 1T was Missouri with 10.026 and
Texas with 1852 immigrants added
to their population which really saved
the south in this comparison. New
York is credited with 217,772, and
Pennsylvania with 1SS,S72 immigrants.
Massachusetts, received 61,52S, New
Jersey 43,615. Connecticut 2O,637 and

CONFINEMENT.

A man was complaining of hot
weather to a miner. and the miner
smiled and said that he supposed 1t
did seem hot on top of the ground,
but that it wasn't bad down in the
coal pit. There he never minded the
heat of summer or the cold of winter,
and he went on to tell of the other
advantages of mining as an occupa-
ton; it was one of the healthiest lines
Of work, he said; he had followed it
for forty years, never been sick, and
never even injured finger.
There was surely contentment, and
one wonders how much that miners
health was due to seeing the bright
spots to life which seem pretty
dark to most folks working above the
ground. The miner leads dangerous
life of hard work for only moderate
wages. That one has found the life
almost wholly satisfactory, is a salts

Of the California Fig Syrup Co. and the
scientific attainments of its chemists have
rendered possible the production of Syrup
of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA, in all Of It's
excellence, by obtaining the pure medic
inal principles of plants known to act most
benefcially and combining them most
skillfully, in the right proportions, with
its wholesome and refreshing Syrup of
California Figs.
As there is only one genuine Syrup OF
Figs and Elixir OF SIENNA and as the gen
uine is manufactured by an original
method known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, it is always necessary to buy the
genuine to get its beneficial effects.
