commission; and w. Jett Lauck.

Company.
- TATED. the problem stands: How
does immigration affect American
civilization now. and what Is its
~ influence likely to be in the fu-
ture?
Until a year ago no comprehensive
body of verified facts about immigration
was in existence. In 1907 Congress
created an immigration commission and
charged it to make full inquiry. exami-
nation and investigation of the subject of
immigration" Four years of expert work
were required to gather and embody the
facts of so enormous an undertaking.
Since the completion of this task in 1911,
Dr. jerks himself member OF the COM
mission, and Prof. Lauck, superintendent
of its field work, have engaged them
selves in making the substantial volume
IN hand. This stands not only as sum-
mary OF immigration facts, but also as
discussion of such phases of the subject
as enter into the problem set by the COM
mission as the aim and end of its inves-
legations A marked feature of this i'm
portant study is its point of view The
authors have taken a well fortified posi-
ton that the great problems underlying
immi grafton are industrial in nature
that they are not, primarily, either So
cial or political, as they are SO often
counted TO be. Conforming to this con-
clusion, the bulk OF the discussion, both
migration in its economic bearings,
though many facts OF social and political
import are brought out for analysis and
appraisal. American civilization, meas
ured by the industrial effects of immigra
tion calls manfestly for acts of restric-
ton in addition to those now in opera
ton. This is the significant conclusion of
the whole matter. \ short history OF the
legislation on this subject is sketched
from colonial times, to point the general
growth and drift of public opinion con-
corning il. The body of this discuss. on IS
followed by a transcript OF the innings
and recommendations of the immigration
commission. An appendix contains the
text of recent legislation on the subject
1t has. moreover, ready to the eye sta

Scattered and passing press accounts OF
cities here and there using the commls-
sion form of government point the gen
eraI public now and then toward re-
markable innovation on established plans
of municipal control. This author mere
spreads a full and graphic account of this
new instrument of city government using
as material for his exposition the re-
suits of a thorough first-hand ihvestiga-
ton of the full field of this experiment
The study separates into two parts. The
first traces the expansion of this idea

through many cities to the north, to the
west and later to the east. 1t constitutes
a concrete record of the varying forms
and uses of this measure in the different
cities employing it. The second part
makes "A broad comparison of these forms
to draw off their fundamental and con-
slant likenesses from their superhclai
differences, which stand merely as adap-
tations TO local conditions. The expert
ment reveals a deliberate use of the close
organization. the defined responsibility
and the restrictions of the business cor
poration in the conduct of municipal az
fairs. In other words. it puts the mu-
nicipality under business control rather
than under political domination, with its
wasteful and unrepresentative measures
In tolerant vein the author discusses the
time-honored checks of political con-
troll. reducing these under the new form
to the single supreme check of perfect
publicity. The initiative, referendum and
recall, as variants of the publicity check.

mission government of cities and pointed
out as measures of long in many
phases of civic control. In good faith the
author sets down the objections to this
form of city government. but his summary
of the subject is Overwhelmingly in its
favor The study makes a useful and
most interesting compendium of this SUBJ

SILVER ToNGUED ORATOR
OF TAMMANY HALL DIES

OF TAMMANY HALL DIES
New York, Feb. Estate
Senator Thomas F. Grady, "the
silver tongued orator of Tam
many Hail." died at his home here
today.
His friends say he died of grief
and disappointment at being
thrown down" by the Tammany
organization he had served so
long and faithfully.
While his party was in the min
GRITTY at the upper house at Al
bany, Grady was acclaimed its
leader. But when Tammany tri-
urnphed and gained control of the
Senate, he was deposed.
He has been on the decline ever
since. Some weeks ago he was
taken to a hospital. When the
physicians told him there was no
hope, he insisted on being taken
home to die.
The romance of Grady's life oc-
Cured in 1887 when he married
Flo Irwin, the actress. The mar
rage was secret, until one day
New York read the following
advertisement in its morning pa
pers:
To ThoseWhom it May Concern:
Be is known that | am the
lawful wife of Thomas F.
Grady, Mrs. Thomas F. Ora
dy, better known as Florence
Irwin.
The romance lasted until 1902.
Then Grady obtained a divorce.
Grady was born in New York

ia1." He offered him a cadetship
at West Point. Grady refused,
and began to study law.
Kelly got him into the corpor-
alton counse's office, and from
then on his rise in politics
.Tammany politics-was rapid.
Only once did Grady bolt the Or
ganization. That was when Gro
yer Cleveland was governor of
New York, in 1887.
Grady was then state senator.
He fought every measure backed
by Cleveland. Cleveland sent
word to John Kelly that Grady
was interfering with his per-
sonal comfort" and that he want
ed him kept home"
At the next election, Grady was
kept home" He bolted the or
ganization, won at special cleo
ton, was defeated at the regular
election, and then was made a city
magistrate by Mayor Grant, who
thought Grady had been made a
scapegoat. In 1896 he went back
to the Senate, and remained there
until his death.

Condition OF Cotton Crop.

The New Orleans Times-Democrat,
in its issue Of Oct. "a presented the
reports of its correspondents on the
progress of the cotton crop during the
month of September. The consensus
OF opinion is to the following effect:
i. The reports from different dis
tricts vary greatly, but there seems
to have been moderate deteriora-
tion, taking the belt as whole.
2. There is considerable complaint
Of insect-damage from some sections
and the boll-Weevil has made itself
felt In parts of Alabama.
3. The supply OF labor for picking
appears to be ample, as q rule, and
farmers are disposed to sell at cur
rent prices, though they would prob
ably resist sharp decline.
A. The final report wilt be print
ed In the issue Of Monday, Dec. 2,
when the usual quantitatiye approxi-
nation, by states, will be given.

Oh, yes; I've heard about the

But am working every day,

Because I got, on last years crop,
Four dollars for my cane.

Of p1utocratic rule;
That I should vote for Wilson and

That he will rip the tariff up
And prove that it's insane,
But please observe that still | get

Buy at home.

You may be sure af one thing, Mr.,
Merchant, and that Ii that this thine
of keeping home trade at home is
strictly up TO you. lit lis up to the
board OF trade or tie public gener.
ally. You can set the home trade
just as soon as you Convince the pub.
| lie that it is to their interest to- buy
from you-you, collectively, gentle
men in business.
We do not intend these remarks
| to be for just one Or two business
men, We mean all, 1or as nearly all
as it is possible to make understand
plain English.
This question Of holding trade at
home is about the biggest one the
merchants have to face. It is a mat
ter that ought to be worthy of dis
cussion in the meetings Of the Re
tail Merchants Association. It is all
right for the merchants to have an
association for their protection
against dishonest debtors. But there
is no reason why Telescope of discus
sion at it's meetings should not
broaden from the question Of avoid
ing sales to dishonest buyers, to the
question of how to make sales to
honest buyersWho are now taking
their money elsewhere when in
search of goods.
Inducing people TIL trade at home
lis certainly of enough Importance to
merit some of the time Of the asso-
citation. And, believe It or not, the
whole question of holding trade in
Port Arthur is one Of convincing the
people that It is to their interest to
buy at home.
The merchant Is in business not so
much because he likes to do so, but
because he thinks II Is to his inter-
est to do so. If the merchants con-
vince the people OF Port Arthur that
it is worth while To trade at home,
the trade will stay at home.
The only way in which the people
can be convinced, the only way in
which their attention can be gained
and held, is through advertising. The
volume of business going out OF Port
Arthur every month ii worth going
after, is worth united campaign on
the part Of all merchants. The ques-
ton OF whether or not that cam
paIgn shall be entered upon Is one.
