Our Immigrants.

A considerable change in our
foreign-born population is revealed
by the census. During the last
decade the numbers of natives of
Austria Hungary, Italy, Russia
and Finland residing in the United
States have doubled. There has
been an increase of Is per cent. in
the number of those born in Nor
way, Sweden and Denmark; an in
crease of Al per cent. in the ma
tives from Great Britain, which
now number 1,166,863, and a
smaller increase in those from Can
ada and New Foundland, which
number a trife more.
There has been a decline Of 10
per cent. in those of Irish birth,
until the present number is only
1 1851, 400. The number of native
born Germans decreased II per
cent. in the decade, so that now
they number only 2,499, 200. There
are still so per cent. more of Ger
mans than of any other nationality
and they constitute nearly 10 per
cent. of our foreign-born popula-
ton. Natives of Germany, Ire
land, Great Britain, Scandinavia
and Canada now constitute 56.4
per cent. of our foreign-born pop
ulation as compared with 1876 per
cent. ten years earlier. From 1921
to 1870 natives of these countries
together contributed about nine
tenths of all the immigrants to this
country, but in the last forty years
their proportion has steadily de-
clined until in the last decade they
were only a little more than one
fifth of the total.

The Moody Blu.

Kentucky has had her fair share
of lvnchings and has paid the full
price for them in a reputation for
lawlessness which the mass of her
people in no wise deserve. Seven
out OF every ten, if not nine out of
every ten, of these lynchings
would have been prevented had
the officers in charge of the lynch
es made the mob acquainted with
the fact that they we're prepared
to shoot and to shoot straight in
order to protect him. In ten out
of every ten lynchings where the
mob failed to receive such infor-
nation and the prisoner protec-
ton, the Jailer or the Sheriff had
nothing to lose except the worth
of his oath of Office.
Mobs, as a rule, where not COM
posed of "our best citizens" are
fairly certain to number many of
our best voters. The prisoner in
such cases is not, as rule, gifted
with popularity. The Office of
Jailer or Sheriff is elective. The
line of least resistance apparently
offers the largest measure of profit
to the official less concerned as to
his duty than his reelection.
The Moody bill, recently intro
duced in the Senate, provides for
the suspension, the trial and pun
ishment of the peace officer who
fails to protect his prisoner. If it
becomes law, there will be fewer
lynchings or else fewer mob sur
vivors. Kentucky will suffer in
neither event.
The Moody bill should be passed.

Pittsburgh Dispatch: The writer
was sorry to witness the outburst Of
feeling against Marty O'Toole at

Marty was so highly touted when
was purchased from the st. Paul
club that the fans of Pittsburgh and
were led to expect impos-
from him. A clean liver and
a hard worker, this Famous young
athlete has failed to get going since
Pittsburgh club. He has. pitched
great bail and has pitched the other
kind. But, usually. when he is on
the hill his teammates fall down; and
IL the reader will take the trouble I o
go back over the dope he or she will
find that Marty has had it put up to
him to hold the other fellows to one
or two runs In order to win: in many
cases n only manner in which he
could have won would have been to
shut the opposing club put.
O"Toole is a great pitcher. The
writer has implicit faith in his ability
to make good. He has been under
the handicap Of too much publicity
too much notoriety-this season
pect what cannot be Marty Is going
to have his troubles.
Maybe Marty Is suffering as Adams

oNE.sIDED DIVISION.

Mayor Blankenburg Of Philadelphia
recently employed Professor King of
the University of Pennsylvania to in
vcstigate the cost of food in that CITY
in comparison with the prices secur-
I'd on farms. The result Of this work
Is embodied in a report, of which a
few figures will give the tenor. 1t
fiEds that the price of poultry in Phil
1delphia is 266 per cent higher than
tho price received by the average
farmer. High-grade potatoes under
so an advance of 1874 per CEN from
the time they leave the farm to the
Time they reach the city consumer. 1t
is stated that the average advance
I'm all farm products is $50 per cent.
1t is true that we have seen a let
ter in a Philadelphia paper traversing
TINS finding on the basis of cited in
stances in which farmers near Phil
adelphia have sold directly to city
consumers at full city prices. This
may easily be true for farmers who
arc able to reach the city
without at all impugning the accur-
acy of the statement concerning
who are at such a distance
tina they must ship by rail and gen.
orally sell through commission houses.
But the showing of these figures is
certainly impressive. The farmer
must furnish the land, and seed. blow.
plant. cultivate. harvest and in most
cases deliver the product to the
est shipping point. He must take
oil the chances Of good or bad crops
and the rise or fall Of prices. For
all this he gets. according to these
figures. an average Of t~wo-sevenths OF
the final price. while the agencies of
transportation and distribution get
~five-sevenths. Ever in the case of
such a staple as potatoes the pro-
ducer gets two-ifths and those who
merely handle the product get three
1ifths.
Can this be explained on any other
theory than the existence Of combina-
lions to suppress competition among
the middlemen?
