FOREIGN OWNERS OF LAND
ma-Some States Limit an
Aliens Holdings.

Several states of the Union spe-
officially prohibit foreigners from
owning land within their borders.
In Oklahoma it is prohibited alto
gether. Other states allow natural
lied aliens to own land and those
who. have declared their intention to
become SO.
This is also the law in the Dis
trict of Columbia. Nevada makes
no restrictions as to foreigners ex-
cept Chinese, who are not permitted
to own land in that state. Some Of
the states, including Indiana and
Iowa, limit the amount Of land an
alien may own to $50 acres.
In South Carolina the limit is 500
acres and in Pennsylvania 5000. In
New York and Texas the laws are
similar in their effect to the law re-
gently passed by the Japanese diet.
This law restricts the ownership Of
land in Japan to such foreigners as
come from a country which extends
similar privileges to Japanese resi-
ients, says Case and Comment. The
operation of the Japanese alien land
ownership law, it is said, will not
materially change the status Of
Americans in Japan in the matter
If land ownership. Under the terms
# the treaty of 1894 citizens of each
country may own or hire and occupy
houses, manufactures, warehouses,
shops and premises in the country
If the other and may lease land for
residential and commercial purposes,
but the treaty does not confer rights

WHY DO MOST WOMEN WORRY
Looking After Details Of
Work.

Women worry over little things.
This is one reason why there are
more cases of insanity among wom-
en- than among men. Somehow wom-
en- lose their sense of values. Per-
haps puttering around stove and
searching in tiny corners for dust
blunts their remembrance of the
bigness of the universe. Some even
ing, after a hard day, when the
clothes wouldn't sprinkle right, and
the cake fell, and you tore the ruffle
on your newest gown, and you no
ticed half-dozen gray hairs in
your head and a fly that you
couldn't catch, no matter how hard
you might try, buzzed about your
ears till you were frantic some
evening, after some hard day, when
all these monumental horrors crowd
thick and fast upon you, go out in
the street and look up. You will see
in the sky those shiny things called
stars. Let your mind saunter among
them for bit, down the spangled
Milky Way, into the brilliant Dip
per, across to glittering Orion.
Ponder for a minute on the giddy
vastness of that speck of the uni
verse which we see on the rolling,
rushing universes beyond our vision,
on the orderliness of that march Of
suns and moons and worlds so swift
and so serene, on the unthinkable
distances that separate us from the
stars and the stars from each other,
on the unutterable majesty of the
power which holds all this in it's
grasp.
Then go back to the house and
worry about your fallen cake if you
dare.
Only, in your zeal to avoid wor-
rying, don't begin to worry for fear
you'll begin to worry.

STR|KEbREAkERS FLEE
FROM LAKE SLAVERY
Men in Many Ports Desert Lake
Carriers Association and
Join Longshoremens'.
Retention of Ten Per Cent Of
Wages By Vessel Trust Con-
sidered Unauthorized.
(By Pan-American Press. }

BUFFALO, n Y. Mar. 9.-One
hundred strikebreakers, who were en-
ployed by the Lake Carriers associa-
ton, marched in a body to Franklin
hall where the Longshoremen were
in session and Joined the union. Men
in other ports on the Great Lakes are
taking like action, caused by the I'M
bearable treatment given them on the
ship trusts vessels and the continual
danger to which they are exposed
through the unskilled and underman-
ming Of the boats.
The latest rule adopted by the Lake
Carriers association withholding one
tenth of the pay of every man until
the close of the season has finally
convinced the strike breakers that
working for the vessel trust means
little less than limited slavery.
This rule provides that 10 per cent
of the mems pay shall be held back
until the close Of the season, and that
only those men who remain on their
Ships until the close Of the season
will be entitled to receive this 10 per
cent.
In other words any man who quits
work for any reason whatever will be
locked 10 per cent of his wages
No matter how badly he may be
treated. and no matter how wretched
the conditions aboard his boat may
be, he will not dare quit unless he is
willing to lose q tenth of the wages
he already has earned.
Word has just been received that
the Great Lakes Licensed Pilots Pro-
tective association will join hands with
the Longshoremens International for
the purpose Of compelling the Lake
Carriers association to recognize the
union. In default of this a great
strike will follow which will complete
ly tie up traffic on the lakes

BOILER MAKERS LOOK
FOR SEVERE STRUGGLE

CLEVELAND, Ohio. Mar. o.
Strikebreakers are being rushed into
the Collinwood railroad shops. Seven
ty-flVe men came on a special train
from Chicago. A third of them were
dropped at Collinwood and rushed
into the boiler shop. The remainder
were taken east and put to work at
Ashtabula, Erie, and Buffalo.
Joseph Chidley, master mechanic
of the Lake Shore railroad, announced
that the strikebreakers would be fed
and housed if necessary in a. work
train.
None of the strikers will be taken
back he said. Their places will not
be open for them The new men
whom we have taken will be re-
tanned"
Talk among the strikers of a SYM
pathetic walkout of the $50 me-
chanics and ninety blacksmiths i'm

William Weber, local president, says
there will no trouble. Nine pickets
are maintained at the shops.
Word came from Kansas City that
the strike will not extend beyond the
New York Central lines. Joseph A.

hood of Boiler Makers and Shipbuild-
ers, said that 1900 men would be
on strike before the end of the day

permit Of sufficient clearances on
bridges, at water tanks, in railroad
yards and in many other places.
Not long ago an engineer on the
Great Northern looked out Of his cab
window and was instantly killed by
being struck in the head by a girder
on an iron bridge. The clearance was
scarcely six inches from the cab.
Many switchmen have been killed and
injured because of the lack of suffi-
cient clearance of low yard switches.
1t is surprising to know that the
railroads are fighting this kind of
legislation for the protection of hu-
man life most bitterly, They are
willing to have the bill apply to new
construction, but they do not want to
do anything to remove the present
dangers. 1t is all matter of first
cost with them. Experience of other
countries is to the effect that in the
end it pays to remove every preven-
table danger to workmen. When will
the American railroads ever learn
this?
H. F. "a, bill to increase the pay
ment for death from $4,000 to ST.
500 for frongful act, and which
passed the house last week, is now
being considered by the judiciary
committee of the senate, with every
thing to indicate favorable action.
The passage of this bill by the SEN
ate will have much bearing upon the
outcome of the working mems COM

The first labor bill that passed both
houses at this session Of the legisla-
ture was of particular interest to To-
connective engineers Under the law
as it was until last week if an engineer
took his engine out, and a spark
from its smoke stack set fire to pro-
perty near the track, the engineer
was criminally liable. The amended
law takes the responsibility from the
engineer, and puts it on the master
mechanic where it properly belongs.
1t is believed that fewer fires will
be set by railroad locomotives in the
future.

It is said that the generous drafters

the Democrats would stand a chance
Of electing one senator and two re-

total population Of this district is

portion of the district outside of
Duluth.
None Of the senators from St. Louis
county are satisfied with the bill. They
would like to amend it so that it
will provide for fairer and more
honest apportionment, but they are
fearful that such a course would be
interpreted at home as blow against
re-apportionment. However, develop
ments Of the last day or two have
prompted at least two of them to
think more kindly of suggesting a
change.
Senators from southern Minnesota,
most of whom are Of the progressive

which will be Of material economic
benefit to all Of the people, look with
suspicion upon the kind of re-appor-
