The great overfiowing cities. like Chicago, New York. St. Louis Cleveland, Gin cinnati, etc, are teeming with people who used to be farmers and gardeners and want to return to these ocupations if given a good chance
 Besides there are people on the farms in the northern and western states who are tired of the long and strenuous winters and want to come to more congenial climate
 To get those people IL Is only neces sary to have the right opportunities for them and then go after them go after them systema tically and perseveringly. The farm movement department has done this and the results so far ob- ia med speak for themselves We know of 21 families who have located here during this year. s of which have spent over $40.000 for buying lands, imple- ments. stock, etc, since they came. say we know of 27 families, because quite a number of people have located here recently who were not placed di- rectly through the farm movement de- partment. but who corresponded with local real estate men and other parties and were located by them neverth less as a result of the work of the farm movement department. because they had their attention called to our section through the literature -r~ued and cir culated by the department.
 Quite number of skilled workmen with their families have also come here and found employment through the agitation Of the department: some of whom be- sides working in the mines or furnaces will cultivate lands on Small scale.

 And how does Canada succeed in get ting these desirable people? It would take too long to fully describe here the admirable system by which Canada builds up its nation and makes it's peo- pie. It began in 1883 and has been viz orousy continued up to the present time. One reason for it is that Canada does not select her officials, especially in this important work, from among politicians; the southern states could learn lesson here, by putting the work of developing their domain in the hands of capable and experienced men instead of using the various offices in that line as political reward for past services to the victorious administration. As far as l know no southern state has made any noticeable success in procuring good class of settlers. The compara- lively little that has been accomplished in that line of development has been by railroads and individual land companies and the latter look too often more to
 individual gain than to the real prog ress of the section in which their land is located. Birmingham and its pro- gressive citizens, as mentioned before, have taken the lead in this matter and am proud to say that our work has attracted attention all oyer the country and is laudably commented on
 However, as stated before. the work has only begun. While the results will multiply themselves as time goes on, still there must be no lack of zeal and no retreating. To accomplish glor-

Organized Labor is on Tnal, was Said with Truth
in Connection with the Mcnamara Cases.

New York World: The Mcnamara
confessions are the deadliest blow ever
dealt to organized labor in the United
States-not because the guilty men
were labor leaders; not because their
crimes were committed in the name
of organized labor and through the
machinery of organized labor; but be-
cause organized labor by the incredi-
BILE folly of its officers and spokes-
men. made itself the champion, the de-
fender. the very shield OF this gang
of cold blooded scoundrels and MUIR
derers.
When the McNamaras were charged
with the Los Angeles Times murders.
Samual Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, de-
nounced their arrest as Athe first act
of a tragedy contemplating the assas-
sination of organized labor. Frank
Morrison, secretary of the federation,
declared it was AN infamous out
rage, Labor leader after labor leader
rang the changes upon these accusa-
tions. The McNamaras were mar
tyrs" They were kidnapped" from
Indianapolis by corrupt hirehngs OF
ruthless capital. They were to be
railroaded to the gallows by perjured
testimony, by bribed witnesses and
by venal courts, in order to intimidate
honest workingmen and keep them

comes with such wealthy and indus

take control of them by means of a

TAE fanatic

II is suggested by the Peoria Herald
Transcript that student of psychol-
ogy might find an analysis of the
minds of the McNamaras and their
fellow conspirators an interesting
study; that if one could read the in
ner impulses of these men he would
doubtless find a mentality similar to
that of the Guiteaus and Czologtschs
of assassination fame, with perhaps a
stratum of the nihilist running through
it To all appearances the McNamaras
are men of more than average gener-
al intelligence. The personality OF
James ]. seems to be particularly
pleasing, and the devotion of the two
brothers to each other seems to be
beyond question. Was the dynamiting
of the Times building mere matter
OF personal spite? The Herald-Tran
